Release note: 202410

This upgrade will bring the following improvements.

1. Performance
2. Reliability
3. More efficient indexing

For the user authentication we are using a new provider, this will bring the following

1. Self managed passwords
   Users can now choose their own passwords.
2. Forgot password
   Users can now use forgot password functionalities
3. Email verification
   Emails will be verified during the customer account invitation process
4. Always up-to-date security standards.
5. More authentication option in the future, like Google, SAML

Because of the new Authentication provider we now have implemented a user management system.

The organization admin can invite and remove users from the platform and assign a role to the user. We currently have two roles.

1. Default: This is a user as already existed in Qmica.
2. Org admin: as the name implies can manage settings for their organization. Currently besides inviting users there not much to manage yet, but this is the first step for making more features that require and admins approval / attention.

New users can be invited via the left side menu -> Settings -> User management

We will be introducing more roles in the future

During the organization account migration the primary user will be asked to choose a sub domain for their account. When successfully chosen, your organization will now be able to access the Qmica platform via the full domain name chosen.

Let's say your company name is: Pet design EU You could choose one of the following, but not limited to.

1. petdesigneu.qmica.io
2. petdesign.qmica.io
3. pde.qmica.io

let's say you have chosen #3, then from now on you will have to go to https://pde.qmica.io

You will receive an email during this migration process pointing you to the chosen domain name.

We have implemented a new notification / activity system. The current notification system is replaced by the new activity system this new system has a couple of advantages over the previous system.

1. Every activity is logged
2. The activities are organization wide, so every one can view them.
3. Registers who initiated the activity
4. History

The following activities are currently making use of the new system.

1. Upload products
2. Remove products (bulk)
3. Validate items (GS1)
4. Publish items (GS1)
5. Generate messages (ETIM)
6. Export products for classification
7. Export product with source attributes

In the future we will also be adding things like API requests
