Plutora Feature Release Notes for October 23, 2016

Copy configuration items from Environment or Environment Map

1. Previously, users had to manually type configurations (layer, component name and version values) from the Edit Environment Details pop up and the Environment Map.
   • Now, users can click the new copy button  to copy configurations in:
     Environment > Manager > Edit Environment Details Pop Up
     
     and
     Environments > Environment Map
     
   • The copied component data can now be pasted into another application or document.
   • When pasted, the data looks like this.
     
2. Previously users without the Update Environments user permission could click to select Version, and press CTRL+C to copy in the following pop up:
   Environment > Manager > Edit Environment Details Pop Up
   
   • Now, users without the Update Environments user permission can also click to select Version, and press CTRL+C to copy in:
     Environments > Environment Map
     

Filter results in Environment Requests

• Previously, users could only filter TECRs or TEBRs on the Environment Requests page by a single Type, Assigned To, Status or Environment Group at a time.
• Now, the grid column filters for the Type, Assigned To, Status or Environment Group columns are combo boxes. Users can click multiple checkboxes and select multiple items at once.
  
• In Environment Requests Query Builder (accessed by clicking the funnel-shaped button  in Environment Requests) Type, Assigned To, Status or Environment Group are also combo boxes.

TEBR auto approval.

1. Previously, all Environment Bookings had the status Pending when created.
   • All Environment Bookings had to have their status manually changed to Approved by:
     • Users set up as approvers under the Environment > Systems > View/Edit System Details pop up >  My Environment Booking Approvers tab  
     • These approvers would click an Environment Booking under Environment Schedule > Conflict View, then click to select the Approved checkbox and click Save.
       
       
   • Now, Environments can be set to auto approve each booking by:
     • Clicking to select the Any booking will be automatically approved checkbox under:
       • Environment > Manager > Add New Environment Details pop up or Edit Environment Details pop up > Details tab.
         Or:
       • Environment > Groups > Environment Groups pop up. 
       • Environment Bookings created for Environments that have been set to auto approve will automatically be approved.
2. Previously, changing the date of a Release Phase in the View/Edit Enterprise, Project and Independent Release pop ups:
   • Would prompt the Environment Booking Smart Alerts pop up to open, asking whether the user wanted to modify the date and time of the associated Environment Bookings.
   • If the user chose to modify the Environment Bookings, those bookings would become Pending again.
   • Now, if the Environment has the Any booking will be automatically approved checkbox selected, those Environment Bookings will be automatically approved and will not become Pending.
