P2 Explorer version 4.11 is a minor release that supports Azure authentication, opening an entry from a comments notification, optimization of Tag search results, and construction of a link to the point details page of a Tag.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Explorer 4.11 includes:<\/p>\n
Azure authentication can now be used to sign in to P2 Explorer, allowing a full cloud deployment of P2 Explorer, Shift Log and Sentinel. This gives companies the option of using either Windows Domain, or Azure authentication.<\/p>\n
To enable Azure authentication, administrators are required to make some configuration changes, refer to Step 11 of the Fresh Installation section in the P2 Explorer Installation Guide<\/em> for further information.<\/p>\n Azure authentication login dialog:<\/em><\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Authentication can be configured by Windows AD OR <\/strong>an Azure AD authentication in this release.<\/p>\n After receiving a notification that you were mentioned in a comment, you can click on the notification to view the comment in the right hand Explore Panel.<\/p>\n In addition, after clicking on the comment, there is now the option to open the dialog.<\/p>\n Clicking on this new button in the Notifications panel, gives easier access to editing the item.<\/p>\n The order of the results returned by a Tag search has been optimised to make it easier to find a particular tag.<\/p>\n The search term is matched against the Tag name and description, and returns results in the following order:<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Search Page<\/a><\/p>\n A URL can be constructed to link to the Point Details page of a Tag or Attribute Value. The URL can be added to an Explorer page, or other external system, making it easy for users to quickly access relevant information.<\/p>\n The format of the URL to link to a Tag\u2019s Point Details page is:<\/p>\n https:\/\/[servername]\/P2.Explorer\/tagdetails?name=tagName<\/p>\n The format of the URL to link to an Attribute Value\u2019s Point Details page is:<\/p>\n https:\/\/[servername]\/P2.Explorer\/attributevaluedetails?name=EntityName[TemplateName]:AttributeName!AttributeValueName<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Point Details<\/a><\/p>\n A default Disabled Datasource Message has been added and will be displayed when a user attempts to use a datasource that is not enabled.<\/p>\n The Disabled Datasource Message can also be customised as required.<\/p>\n Default Disabled Datasource Message:<\/em><\/p>\n The DisableDatasource feature toggle must be enabled to have the option of disabling a datasource. The feature toggle is disabled by default.<\/p>\n New trend controls enable the period of a trend to be incremented in either direction, making it easier to quickly scroll through the trend and see different time periods.<\/p>\n The trend is incremented by either the amount of the Fixed Period if that is selected, or by the difference between the start and end times of the trend.<\/p>\n In this example, the arrows will increment the trend by the difference between the start and end times, which is one year.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Trend Controls<\/a><\/p>\n In instances where there are a lot of time windows on a Trend, it can be difficult to find a specific one. To make it easier, filter, sort and group options have been added to the time windows table.<\/p>\n Column Settings, opened from the settings cog, allows users to filter the time windows by selecting which fields to display in the table. Only time windows with data in one of the selected fields will be being displayed.<\/p>\n Sorting and grouping options are now available from the column dropdown menus. Ascending or descending sorts can be applied to multiple columns at a time, with the order of selection determining the sort order of precedence.<\/p>\n Grouping can also be applied to multiple columns in the same way, with selected grouping actions always being applied before any sorting is performed.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Time Windows<\/a><\/p>\n To make it easier to recognise that the trace and time window tables can be resized both horizontally and vertically, grip handles have been added to the Trend tables.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Trace Table,<\/a> Time Windows<\/a><\/p>\n A new Proficy 2022 Adaptor has been added to the installer, it is designed to support the GE Proficy 2022 Historian.<\/p>\n Admin users can now enable or disable, rebuild, and check the status of the build, from the Indexing tab in the configuration. Previously this could only be done by directly checking the database.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image001-1.png\")
