Loupe 1.4.5
As we get closer to launching Loupe Explore we’re rolling out a smaller update focused on bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
The biggest changes you’ll notice are in Automations, where we’re continuing to make things simpler and more flexible. You can now:
- Add M3 tables directly into an automation, not just APIs.
- Use the new “Add child API” button to easily feed the output from one API or table into another.
A good example of this in action: Let’s say I have a set of articles I’m responsible for, but I need to move them to my colleague Henrik.
- I create a new automation and set two inputs: From RESP and To RESP.
- The From RESP value is used to query MITMAS, listing all articles where RESP == STERUT (my M3 user).
- The results are passed to UpdItmBasic, where RESP is updated to To RESP (HENTHO, in this case).
- Finally, an MMS200MI/Get step confirms that the update was successful.
Check out the video below for a short demonstration, and checkout https://loupeapp.net for more info. As always, feel free to hit us up at hello@loupepap.net ## Features
- All outputs are now displayed when creating a new API in automation, enhancing usability by allowing easier access to outputs from other APIs.
- Enhanced support for Single Sign-On allows selected tenants to override Windows login sessions, streamlining the login process.
- Improved alignment of functionality across various grids, enhancing user experience by enabling easier data copying.
- Users can now export data to Excel in addition to CSV, featuring enhanced formatting and filtering options.
- Made it much easier to use M3 tables instead of APIs in automation.
## Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where changing configurations in the Play feature did not update the canvas display, ensuring a smoother user experience.
- Fixed an issue where identical column names from different data sources in data exports were being incorrectly overridden, ensuring accurate data representation.
- Improved clarity of nested API relationships by adjusting visual elements for better understanding.
- Improved error messaging has been implemented for users lacking authorization to specific tables in the compare feature, enhancing the user experience.
- Improved the Automation Clear Config feature to prevent users from entering an “invalid” state by implementing a basic default configuration instead of nullifying it.
- Improved visibility of blank spaces in grid cells to enhance error detection and prevent automation issues.
- Resolved an issue where users were unable to delete APIs, ensuring smoother API management and functionality.
- The automation feature has been updated to prevent the addition of empty APIs.
