New Apia Version: Apia 3.1.0.3
Summary:
The new Apia version is being used in STATUM management system, which is based on ITIL. It began being developed when the previous version (Apia 3.1) was launched. New versions are released every six months with new functionalities and/or fixes.
Information
Main features of Apia 3.1.0.3
Level A and Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are complied with. This means that all the application screens can be accessed by visually impaired people and can also be read with specific software to help people with more severe vision problems.
The organizational units that allow defining roles (e.g.: profile groups) to associate them to users of each particular context have been kept. This results in, for example, the commercial area not removing permissions to users in charge of the sales area. This feature is one of the most important additions of 3.1 version and is quite frequently used in public agencies.
The portal generation functionality has been enhanced. Even though in previous versions it was possible to generate pages (called Dashboards in Apia) and include sections in such pages (called Panels in Apia), now the number of panels included in the tool to view the contents without having to program anything has been increased. E.g.: menu, sitemap, links panel, among others.
The application security has been improved in order to prevent malicious attacks. In this sense, the application currently performs more access controls to prevent malicious users from running functionalities they don’t have permissions for. In the case of large organizations such as public agencies, this feature may be used to separate the different departments and, depending on where a person logs on, such person will be able to use the options of his/her area.
The login from mobile devises has been improved. Before there was a specific site for logging in from these devises, now there is a single site that is able to detect the screen resolution and display interfaces adapted to the user needs.
Outstanding features that remain from the previous version
Management of hierarchical organizational units, submission of custom messages (emails), modification of alert dates and parameter update information, configuration of process and task delays, changes at design level, latest text editor version, business class by AJAX, binding of entities, among others.
