April 2024

As announced in the deprecation timeline, and detailed in Classic folders removal, we are now fully disabling classic folder access.

User experience best practices, as guided by your suggestions and use cases, are always top-of-mind for the Orchestrator team. In trying to align our product design to these practices, we are improving the display density of grid information. This means that you will now see tables in a compact mode, which allows for more items to be displayed, ultimately taking better advantage of screen real-estate.

We are confident that the high-density view will provide you with an overall better experience:

You do, however, have the option to go back to a low-density view, by deselecting High density view from the General > Application settings section of your tenant-level settings.

To better manage your objects (i.e. groups, users, robot accounts, external apps) and make use of all available types of identities, we have split the groups, users, robot accounts, and external apps into separate pages. You can find these under dedicated tabs, on the Manage Access page.

As an overview of the tabs, the All tab includes all objects that have been assigned access at the tenant level. The Groups, Users, Robot accounts, and External apps tabs include the local and directory groups, local and directory users, robot accounts, and external apps that have been assigned access at the tenant level.

To optimize the view for you when working in Orchestrator, we have improved the collapsed filter logic. If there are more than five filters on the page, these are collapsed under an icon, regardless of the grid view that is used.

The configuration of processes and triggers has been improved by prefilling their name fields based on the previously selected package or process.

For processes, the Display Name field displays the name of the selected package in the format <PackageName>.

As far as triggers are concerned, the Name field displays the name of the process, followed by the trigger type in the format <ProcessName>_<TriggerType>. It is also worth mentioning that this change applies to time, queue, and API triggers, and that the Name and Process Name fields have switched positions to follow the logical flow.

In our continual efforts to maintain the highest levels of security and user experience, we have decided to phase out API Keys authentication in March 2025.

We recommend using External Applications and Personal Access Tokens (PATs) as the primary method of authentication.

Any and all name changes made to local groups at the organization level are now propagated to Orchestrator.

Please note, however, that renaming a group several times in a short timeframe means that only the last renaming event is captured in the Orchestrator audit logs. The organization-level audit includes all such events.

You can now benefit from an extra level of detail through the addition of milliseconds to time columns in the following instances:

During the first iteration of the jobs side panel implementation, the folder tree was automatically collapsed when the panel was expanded to a full-sized window. Now, the folder tree is persisted even while the job details window is in full-sized mode.

As part of our constant effort to provide you with the best user experience, we have decided to remove icons from menus. This means that our user interface is now cleaner, more streamlined, more readable, and more accessible. We are confident that this change will allow you to focus on explicit information without distractions and the need for interpretation.
