New Software Release 4.1.37

We are happy to present to you the latest release of our NEXIS 4 software. This version introduces a wide range of new features.

Bug Fixes

General

  • In certain cases, internal values were shown instead of display names for multi-value attributes in the rule layout. This display issue has been fixed.
  • Read-only mode in filters could be bypassed, for example, by clicking on department names. This behavior has been corrected.
  • Tasks could sometimes be edited despite missing permissions. Permission checks are now performed again after loading the grid.
  • Sorting did not work correctly in certain tables (e.g., master data, permissions). This issue has been resolved.
  • A null check was added to prevent exceptions in the Workflow Center due to missing values.
  • Page display names could not be changed — this has been fixed.
  • Grid exports in XLSX format via the three-dot menu occasionally returned empty results — this has been corrected.

Workflows & Tasks

  • In the assignment review, the owner was not displayed using the defined display name. The display name generator is now correctly used.
  • When changing multi-value attributes, it was not clear in the task comment which value the request referred to. The display has been adjusted.
  • Errors occurred during staging of activities with substitute owners if they couldn’t be resolved properly. This has been fixed.

Import & Delta Import

  • Role assignment rules with filters on employee criticality caused errors during import. Processing has been standardized.
  • Faulty processing during imports with the data quality check enabled — missing entities are now logged.
  • Date format issues occurred during delta import — dates are now stored in UTC format.
  • Delta import was stricter with employee attributes than with other entities — validation has been standardized.
  • Events from delta imports were not evaluated by triggers. They are now dynamically considered as well.
  • Errors occurred during delta import when using values outside the allowed range — especially for employee attributes. Behavior has been standardized.
  • Scheduling settings from regular imports were incorrectly applied to delta imports. This behavior has been corrected.

Staging & Triggers

  • Status icons for allowed values in status attributes were not transferred during staging. This has been fixed.
  • Advanced filter settings in form panels were not included in staging for services. They are now correctly transferred.
  • Trigger filters were not saved correctly during staging. This issue has been resolved.
  • Trigger actions with filters caused errors during staging — filter logic has been corrected.
  • In entity staging, threshold values can now be configured to handle large numbers of changes to target objects. If the defined threshold is exceeded, a warning is shown before proceeding. This setting is available at the transition level.
  • During staging of import connector settings, project mapping was not correctly considered when certain elements (like import connectors) were excluded according to staging settings. This behavior has been corrected — mappings now dynamically adjust to staging strategies.

Sync Engine, Connectors & Export

  • Sync Engine:
    • A new setting allows external sync execution directly within the queue.
    • Tickets are now reliably closed once the last individual request within them is stopped.
    • Various minor improvements to the user interface have been made.
    • Enhanced logging now provides more detailed traceability.
  • In the department hierarchy preview in the Credential Manager, a crash occurred when a saved LDAP credential was used. This has been fixed.
  • In the account preview in the Meta Connector, an error occurred when displaying employee credentials. The required environment variable is now set correctly.
  • In the Template Engine, change requests of different types were incorrectly grouped and thus not fully processed. This has been corrected.
  • During CSV sideloading via the analytics middle column, the owner could not be set correctly because the employee ID was not recognized. Mapping has been adjusted.

New Features & Enhancements

Forms & Permission Concepts

  • Technical names (Page IDs) of form parameters are now displayed in the parameter window (hidden by default).
  • The parameter types “Employee” and “Number” have been removed from the available permission concept parameters as they are no longer supported.
  • In the approval history and permission concept overview, versions did not match. For better traceability, an additional column has been added to display the version from the approval history in the overview table as well.

Tasks & Comments

  • For tasks with mandatory comments, it is now clearly visible — even for multi-value attributes — which specific value the request refers to.

PDF and Excel Export

  • The permission concept PDF export has been extended:
    • Form tables can optionally be exported as a separate Excel file.
    • Groups are resolved, and members are displayed in parentheses.
    • Link buttons appear as clickable links with customizable text.

Recertification & Upload

  • File upload in offline recertification has been switched to byte-based mode to avoid errors caused by missing file paths.

Usability & Performance

  • A new setting prevents automatic loading of tasks when multiple selections are made in the browser — improving performance and clarity.

Other

  • Optimization of the SoD firewall: caching of SoD policy filters and a one-time reload after role creation improves performance.
