What's new in version 8.7.4

April 2021

Version 8.7.4 is a maintenance release. It resolves issues reported in previous versions and improves the overall performance and stability.

Resolved Network Inventory issues

• Resolved the issue with out-of-the-box Integrations not working in Network Inventory 8.7.3.

• Resolved the issue with Network Inventory sync unexpectedly treating per-user software licenses as per-installation licenses and allocating them to computers where the software was discovered. Per-user licenses are no longer involved in automatic allocation, as expected.

Improved Web App

• Launching a workflow action while having unsaved changes on the full form no longer invokes repetitive prompts to save the record. The dialog box now offers three distinct options, and clicking No would abandon your changes and let you proceed.

  

• Restored the ability to download multiple attachments at once. Press and hold CTRL or SHIFT while selecting attachments, then click Save to download selected files. You can also delete selected attachments or change their properties.

  

• Resolved the "The target 'ctl00$M$ctl36$Cbp' for the callback could not be found or did not implement ICallbackEventHandler" error that could unexpectedly pop up on the dashboard. The error occurred when dashboard widgets with no data were getting hidden to save screen real estate.

• Fixed a typo in the "is greater than or equal to" condition of the Advanced Filter.

Fast navigation through Knowledge Base articles

• Resolved the issue with in-page links for fast navigation through lengthy Knowledge Base articles published on the Self Service Portal. Now in-page anchors in articles work as expected.

  For instructions, see Web App Help: Fast navigation through lengthy public KB articles.

Proper format for currency and duration data

• When displaying currency or duration values, Alloy Navigator Express now applies the format specified in the regional settings section of the Settings App.

Easier workflow management

• To ensure the proper functioning of workflow actions, Alloy Navigator Express no longer allows adding empty Text elements to customizable Create ticket forms.

More comfortable dark mode

• Resolved the issues with the Alloy Dark theme making text unreadable in some areas.

  

More stability for your Desktop App

• Resolved the "HTML parse error: Abstract Error" on attempts to open tickets containing SVG images in descriptions.
