Reflow Version 1.7.2 (build 41)
This June 2023 release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.
Reflow 1.7.2.41 Hot Fix - 6/26/2022
- Fixes an issue that could cause point cards to not render on device graphic pages when a Niagara point is deleted but still linked to the device in Reflow
Device Pages
Notes System
- A new device notes system has been added and can be turned on in the Reflow Config by going to Equipment > Graphics Settings > Device Graphic Pages > Enable Notes
- End-users can add, edit, and remove Notes from the Reflow View
- Notes are saved in separate files, one for each device, in the new
notesfolder under thereflowfolder of the station file system. - Notes are sorted by date last modified and can be pinned to the top or marked as a 'warning' which will highlight the note and display a warning icon in the device's title area
Point Cards
- Initial loading speed has been drastically improved by delaying the initial load of actions and smart histories until the card is clicked or tapped
- A loading indicator will appear on the cards as they load initial data and while loading action and history data on demand
- Smart Histories support has been added to cards linked with virtual points
Equipment Types
- Display name matching - A point's Niagara Display Name can now be used when matching point identifiers. This can be accessed at Equipment Type > Points Template > Point Matching Property. This property now has options to match by Name only, Display Name only, or both. Points that do not have Display Names set will fall back to using the Name property
- Equipment Types and Equipment Group Types can be hidden from Equipment index pages by enabling the new 'Hide on Index Pages' option in the Equipment Type > Equipment Type Settings config menu
- Boolean, Numeric, String, and Enum constant components from kitControl will now be autodetected as points when mapping devices to Points Templates
- Equipment Type Summaries
- Device rows in the Table View now indicate status by pulsing their border color consistent with the behavior of device cards in the Grid View
- Column labels in the Table View have been updated to better support names derived from Niagara expressions in Points templates
Misc
- Histories
- An option has been added to show charts and tables in a 'zoneless' time mode so that data for a specific hour of the day can be compared between stations, independent of their local time zones. This option can be found in Settings > Additional Options > Station Time Zone
- Dashboards: Gauge Card
- A new option called 'Limit Coloring' allows specific colors to be set when the gauge goes above or below its respective limits
- Dashboards: History Chart & History Sparkline Cards
- The Primary Y-axis scale can now be specified
- Buildings: Added an option to disable building floor and device counts on Buildings Index Page cards. These settings also affect the cards on the Landing Page's Buildings Widget
- Buildings Index Page: Optimized the loading of Building Information. This will increase performance when loading both the map and grid
Bug Fixes
- Histories
- Hiding and showing text on enum and Boolean histories is much more performant an no longer causes display issues
- History CSV exports will now combine values that have the same second (ignoring the millisecond). This will allow for better comparisons of data as they will no longer be separate lines
- Equipment
- Fixed an issue where status points on Equipment Type Summary tables could emit a browser console error
- Niagara Expression Point Identifiers properly pull all point names when searching for a pattern match
- Fixed an issue where restricting access to equipment groups would not remove them from the Equipment Index Page
- Added a vertical scroll and maximum hieght to the 'Served By' dropdown menu in device page titles to prevent content from going off screen
- Selecting an external point that shares a name with one or more points in the device will no longer marker the device point as external in future edits
- Groups on the Equipment Index Page will no longer overlap when rearranging equipment
- Histories
- Charts with really small ranges (less than 1) will no longer cut off the top of the chart
- Histories now properly handle
NaNvalues - Hovering and unhovering Enum, Boolean, and String chart titles on chart legends will now properly display the other data
- The data table error message no longer displays when data is not available for a history
- Fixed an issue on charts where enum and new boolean style text would disappear when zoomed in/out too fast
- Dashboards
- Fixed an issue where History dashboard cards with periodic refresh enabled would not refresh data as expected
- History Chart cards will now have the proper color for y-axes on dark-mode pages
- Hyperlink cards will now display an Icon properly on top of a custom background
- Fixed issues with Booleans and enums showing over chart axis tick labels when the labels spanned multiple lines
- Alarms
- Fixed an issue with the interaction of the 'Restrict New Alarm Classes' property and priority filtering that would cause the Active Alarms list to be incorrect
- Misc
- Color pickers no longer disable when all recent colors are locked
- Reflow ORD Scheme: Fixed an issue with custom history charts
