Release Notes - Portals

Milestone: Oct 20, 2021

Users Eric Wohnlich and Taina Dumay added to sites and given the Manager role. These users are IMS developers and will log in with these personal accounts if needed, instead of a shared admin service account. This allows more accurate security auditing.

Issue Trackers - changed the date formatting on exports so that Excel will display it as a date for sorting

Issue Trackers now support some new features: Export a CSV, change and reorder the filter fields, allows a second category field, allows renaming of the "Assigned To" field

There is a new optional setting for displaying login information in cases where the user is authenticated through an SSO Identity Provider but does not have a site account. These users will not be able to see any content on the site, however if the site root is set to display a dynamic list of content instead of a front page content, they will instead see an empty list instead of an unauthorized page. In this case we display a warning message that they are not authorized on the site. Previously, we included information about completing Step 2 of their registration process. This last bit of information is now optional (on by default). Most sites do not need to turn this off. Contact portal.administration@imsweb.com for further inquiries.

Fixed an issue where members in a Group Space would sometimes display multiple times if they were in multiple groups assigned to the space.

The Zip Archive feature will now include Link (content type) objects. These objects will be zipped as a CSV file with metadata about the Link. Please note that "links" within a Page content type are unchanged - a Page content type will be downloaded as an HTML file with all anchor tags (links) included.

Changed the name of the table formatting option from "listing" to "striped". This option is available
in the editor when selecting Format for a table.
Fixed a color contrast issue with the error (red) status messages

Sites that use Issue Trackers will notice more customization options. You can now select which columns you want to appear in a tracker and customize the name of more variables.

Addresses the case where users automatically logged out due to timeout were redirected
to an error page. They should instead be redirected to the site root where they will be
prompted to relogin if applicable.

Fixed an issue where users linking their account would incorrectly see a warning message that they were logged in but not yet linked.

Users seeing the standard where-are-you-from (WAYF) page will sometimes see a new option.

Added a warning message if a user successfully logs in through SSO but that account is not linked to the portal. This will happen if they have not yet linked their account or if they log in with a secondary account.

User accounts using the IMS Login Service were updated to use the new Okta cloud service for accounts with non-IMS email addresses. Those with IMS email addresses were switched to use the IMS Employee login.
The Users Overview page in the site settings area now shows the Identity Provider (IdP) of the user account as well as their login service id.

Added cache invalidation when site's title is changed
Removed h1 header tag as an option in the WYSIWYG editor. This is to facilitate the pages being 508/WCAG2 compliant. Pages should only have one h1 tag and this is supplied by the page's title.

Upgraded to Plone minor version 5.2.1
Fixed an issue with "data grid" fields. These are fields that let you add or remove rows in a table that have multiple cells per table, for instance contact phone numbers. The issue would cause new rows to incorrectly generate multiple rows.
Added cache invalidation when site breadcrumbs change
