    New Features for Cloud Customers 

    frevvo is committed to making more intuitive and easier to use. More features/improvements are coming in future releases.

    Manage Logged in User Sessions through the Live Forms UI.

    Users are reporting a Max user limit has been reached error message when they try to login to ?  What does the Superuser/tenant admin(s) do?  In v8.1, you no longer have to restart or wait for the configured session timeout to terminate sessions.

    The Manage User Sessions UI makes it easy for the Superuser/initial tenant admin or additional admins to see who is logged in and take action to terminate user sessions. Once the max user limit is reached, only the Superuser admin or the tenant admin that was set up when the tenant was created (initial) are allowed to login. Additional  admin users will be prevented from logging in.

    Admins access the Manage Sessions page by clicking the link on the Manage Tenant screen.

    The Manage Sessions page displays the following:

    • The current number of sessions in the tenant and the maximum session count based on your license.
    • A table of the currently logged in user sessions with columns providing the    User Id,   Login Time  , Last Access Time  , Is the user a designer?,   User's device (phone/tablet/desktop) and the Session Timeout value configured for the tenant.

    • Option to send a customizable email to a user requesting they logout or kill a user session. The user is notified via email that their session has been terminated by an administrator.

    Insight Server Version Upgrade

    The version of the Insight Server, used for Live Forms Reports and Task/Submission searches, will be upgraded from SOLR 6.6.2 to version 6.6.5 in the frevvo Cloud.

    Logging Changes

    Log Messages with Log Message property names that include a . (period) are difficult to filter with cloud watch filters. Properties have been renamed to include the _ (underscore) instead of the . (period) i.e. tenant.id = tenant_id. frevvo Cloud log messages now include session information such as tenant.idsubject.idcorrelation.idsession.idowner.idapplication.id, and type.id (formtype or flowtype). This additional information can be extremely helpful when troubleshooting errors particularly in the frevvo cloud environment.

    Increased Maximum Size for Attachments

    The maximum size for attachments uploaded to Upload controls in forms/flows in the frevvo Cloud has been increased to 20 MB (20971520 bytes). As a reminder, there are three places to set the maximum size of attachments in .

    ...

    The value of the Max size property of individual Upload controls overrides the value per user which overrides the max size property on the server level. All values must be specified in bytes. If a maximum file size is specified at the server level, the values in the user profile Max Attachment Size field and the Upload Control Max Size property cannot exceed the server max size.

    ...
