Insight 3.3 release notes
In this release we have done a few general improvements. Most notably we have included two new reports also available as gadgets, a few attribute related features and changed how to manipulate the Insight structure during import. We have also implemented a way of showing object attributes directly in the JIRA view issue screen.
Insight Pie Chart Report & Gadget
The Insight Pie Chart Report gives you information about how your objects are divided by attributes. The example above tells how offices are divided among continents.
Insight Two Dimensional Attribute Report & Gadget
The Two Dimensional Attribute Division Report gives you information about how your objects are divided based on attributes.
DateTime Attribute Type
A new Default type "DateTime" is added so you may specify not only dates but time as well.
This is the calendar/time picker.
The "Created" and "Updated" system attributes are changed to the DateTime attribute type.
Regex Validation for Attribute Values
You may validate attributes of default type "Text", "Email" & "URL" with regular expressions. This can be handy if you want to set a validation on IP adresses or any type of information that you need to validate. Or if yo want to make sure to validate on a specific domain name like "company.com".
Structural Synchronization and regex for both LDAP and External CSV
We have added an intermediate step when importing from either LDAP or External CSV. You can now first run the "Synchronize to LDAP structure"/"Synchronize External CSV Attributes" operation which creates all object types and attribute types but does not create any objects. Then you can make sure the structure is the way you want (for example change attribute types) before you start importing objects. This means that any #placeholder configuration is not supported anymore. You can also use regular expressions to filter or edit the data while importing.
More info: LDAP Import.
View Attributes Directly on JIRA View Issue Page
You may configure any custom field to show object attributes within the objects connected to JIRA Issues. It might look like this:
As you see, the Insight object "Iphone 6" shows more then just the name, it also show the "Asset User" and the "Asset Status". When hovering the object attributes you will see relative information.
To make this happen, go to the Insight custom field configuration and open the "JIRA View" tab:
Bug fixes and improvements
- Object Type Attribute name maximum size is extended to 255 characters.
- Adding objects to reference field parents doesn't remove the children.
- Minor bug fixes.
REST-API
We have changed any ID to an "Integer" instead of a "String" so make sure to test this if you have any integration to Insight. In most cases this should not cause any problem, but make sure to test "just in case".
