ADDITIONAL YEAR RELEASE TO SHOWCASE THE CAPABILITY OF update_quarto_yaml().

Enhancements

Added the ability to manage saved views

New feature allows you to save filters, sorting, and columns as predefined views for model inventory and findings.

Generated PR summary:

This update introduces a new feature that enables you to manage saved views within the application. It includes enhancements to APIs, with functions such as GetSavedViews, CreateSavedView, UpdateSavedView, and DeleteSavedView to manage your saved views effectively.

A new user interface component, the ManageViewsButton, allows you to handle your saved views. This component lets you add or edit views via a modal dialog, delete them with confirmation, and display or select from a list of saved views.

The ManageViewsButton is now integrated into both the ModelFindings and ModelInventory pages, providing you with the ability to save and manage views specific to findings and models.

Additionally, the introduction of a feature flag named modelInventorySavedViews lets you toggle this functionality as needed. Lastly, a model called TSavedView defines the structure for your saved views with properties like identifier (cuid), name, description, type, and content.

M n t analytics improvements

Changes to analytics:

  • Added sorting capability for bar charts.

  • Added a new action for metrics, Count%. This feature allows you to count the percentage of a given metric.

Generated PR summary:

This release enhances the AddOrEditVisualizationModal component in the web application with several improvements. A new sorting feature is introduced through the SortingComponent, enabling you to sort visualizations based on selected metrics or groupings. This feature utilizes the useMemo hook for generating sorting options dynamically according to your current dataset, metrics, and groupings. Additionally, the MetricSelector now supports ‘Count %’ across various metric types such as string, number, date, and boolean, allowing you to view metrics as percentages. Minor adjustments have been made to the user interface, including changing the ModalBody overflow property to hidden and adding overflowY: 'auto' to the VStack, improving your overall experience. These updates aim to provide more flexible data visualization capabilities within the application.

Add UI changes for revision history

Implemented UI enhancements for the revision history feature.

Generated PR summary:

This update introduces the RevisionHistoryButtonPlugin for the CKEditor component within the CKEditorWrapper. The plugin enhances your editing experience by adding a button to the editor’s user interface, enabling you to navigate revision history more effectively. It integrates seamlessly into existing UI elements, such as the toolbar and sticky panel, when you initialize the editor.

The update also includes significant CSS modifications to improve dark mode styling for CKEditor and its components. These enhancements ensure that UI elements like toolbars, buttons, and revision history sidebars remain visually consistent and accessible in dark mode. Adjustments have been made to background colors, text colors, borders, and other styling properties to align with the dark theme.

Adding custom field permission check

Administrators can now assign write permissions to individual fields in the model inventory.

Generated PR summary:

This update enhances the management of custom field permissions within the application, focusing on improving flexibility and usability. Permission types have been refactored, replacing the TPermissionAction type with a generic string[] for simplified permission handling.

In the Custom Field Modal, new states and logic allow you to manage role changes by adding or removing roles with specific permissions. The introduction of a new useCustomFieldPermissions hook facilitates fetching and managing roles with permissions for custom fields. Additionally, the onSaveClicked function is updated to handle role permission updates asynchronously, providing feedback through toast notifications.

The user interface benefits from using chakra-react-select for a better multi-select experience when managing roles in the Custom Field Modal. The CustomFields page now handles modal state more effectively by using a single instance of the modal for editing and adding new fields.

Context and hook updates include using the new permission type in InventoryModelContext and UsersContext, as well as adding a utility function, isReadOnlyField, in InventoryModelOverview to assess field editability based on permissions. These enhancements aim to streamline your experience with role-based permissions management for custom fields.

Bug fixes

Deleting a finding

Removing a finding should remove the finding from a validation report

Fixed an issue where users could delete findings even if they were assigned to a validation report.

Generated PR summary:

This release introduces several enhancements to the web application. A new function, GetFindingLinkedAssessmentFindings, is added to the API module. This function helps you retrieve linked assessment findings for a given finding, enabling the application to display related assessments when viewing or deleting a finding. The AssessmentFinding and Assessment types in the guideline.ts model are updated with optional fields for assessment and inventory_model. These updates allow for more detailed information to be associated with each finding and assessment. On the user interface front, the ViewFinding component now includes a warning alert when you attempt to delete a finding linked to one or more assessments. This alert lists the affected assessments, clarifying how your action will impact linked assessments. Additionally, the ConfirmationAlert component’s dialogBody prop now accepts ReactNode, providing more complex and informative dialog content. Together, these changes enhance your experience by offering more context and clear warnings when removing findings.
