Performance Improvements

  Major performance improvements in the LMS:

  • Improved loading time of the subject tree in the Knowledge Center
  • Improved permissions caching time
  • Improved loading time when browsing the LMS centers
  • Improved closing time of sessions and LMS items in sessions, when working on a low bandwidth.

Resolved Bugs

• Simulation
  • Improved the performance of multiple active agents
  • Simulation.exe no longer freezes when creating a new session
  • Fixed an issue with console switches malfunction when clicked while simulation window is out of focus
  • Fixed an issue where cyclic steps will not stop when passing over to another phase
• LMS
  • LMS windows in agents are now opened even when client is offline
  • Fixed the ability to open hyperlinks from the Brief page, when the session is checked-in and the server name contains dots.

Known Issues

• Domains
  • Adding a user to a domain -> the domain will be displayed in tools -> options only after the second sync
  • Update a domain before first Sync ended -> The default domain will be added to the server and all the clients connected to that server
• Knowledge Center
  • 'Modified By' isn't sync'd in the first login to a clean system
  • Check out a session with an agent -> remove the agent from the session -> check in and check out the session -> open the session in SE -> open the agent -> save -> Session cannot be checked in
  • Checking out an item causes it to disappear from preview pane – Occurs with specific items only
• Permissions
  • User with 'Report Browsing' Permissions is granted 'Report Editing' permissions while he is logged in -> the user won't be able to create a report/feedback till he logs out and login again
  • Deny a user of all content permissions -> the user can still see all items in Knowledge Center
  • Login to the system as a user 'A' with all content permissions -> login to a different client and deny user 'A' of all content permissions -> sync -> grant user 'A' all content permissions -> sync -> User 'A' can't create new item until logging out and in again
• Performance
  • When working with low bandwidth – Cannot Check in item when the server connected to another server in Master-slave configuration
• Keywords
  • We shouldn't allow adding a space as a keyword
• Account Center
  • Preview Pane of Users -> Deleted groups are shown in the "Member of" of accounts
