DOTS Software Change Logs
Version 1.2

V1.2.7

  • Added Turbo Templates feature to decrease experiment setup time and enable rapid start of predefined experiments

V1.2.0

  • [Administration] Devices can be archived – archived devices are only visible to admins and are not shown during the device assignment step during Experiment creation
  • [Navigation] Easier navigation between Objects belonging to the same Experiment via breadcrumb dropdown on the Object Detail page.
  • [Notifications] If the backend is not available, a message specifying that the backend is unavailable is displayed instead of multiple unhandled error messages
  • [Network] The TUI tool now assists admins in configuring network deployments by automatically reconfiguring all required settings once the hostname is updated
  • [Installation] The DOTS Software “update” installer will automatically check if DOTS is already installed on a computer – If not, the “update” installer cannot be used and an error message will be displayed to prevent users from installing an incomplete software.
  • [Group control] When adding annotations to a grouped Experiment, users can now choose to add it to all Objects within the Experiment
  • [Excel Export] Data can now be exported exactly as it is visualized on Object graphs within the DOTS Software (i.e., including offsets, correlations, and calibrations) with an individual Excel sheet with multiple columns for all data series displayed in a graph
  • [Graph configuration]
  • Calibration options can be filtered to only display suitable options for the current series (e.g., a biomass calibration option will not be displayed for a pH series)
  • Annotations are now listed as a type of data series and are available in the graph configuration – users can configure if they want to display user and/or system annotations in their graphs
  • [Tags] The DOTS Software automatically checks for duplicates when adding new tags and updates Tags of all Objects in an Experiment when making changes on the Experiment level
  • The frontend remembers the last-visited tab of the DOTS Software, so when users navigate away from the DOTS Software and come back, they are automatically routed to their last-visited tab
  • [pH/DO] Tasks are prevented from starting when the PT100 sensor is configured as the temperature source but is not connected to the DOTS Fiber Optic Sensor

V1.2.7

  • [Dashboard] Prevent scrollbars from appearing on dashboard cards
  • [Excel Export] Fixed raw data Excel export
  • [Dashboard] Fixed external series missing from non-stacked dashboard cards
  • [CGQ] Resolved situations where CGQ experiment start time is not defined
  • Fixed an error that sometimes appeared when navigating back to the dashboard

V1.2.0

  • [Smart Feeding] Feeding will continue once feeding trigger is “true” regardless of the true/false state of the trigger after the initial condition is met
  • [Smart Feeding] Annotations will only be created once
  • [Navigation] Fixed the structure of the “Team” page breadcrumb to enable navigation on that page
  • [CGQ] Corrected erroneous wavelengths shown for CGQ measurements
  • [Installation] Fixed so that the dialogue providing default login information is always shown after installation
  • [Excel Export] Solved error when a calibration is enabled then disabled
  • [Excel Export] Solved error when exporting Device data series, like battery level
  • [pH/DO] The DOTS Fiber Optic Sensor device dialogue now closes after the user clicks “Batch calibration” and is sent to the calibration wizard
  • Fixed the “Connection state” filter in the device assignment step of the Experiment creation wizard
  • Fixed device illustrations in the device assignment step of the Experiment creation wizard

V1.2.7

  • [CGQ] Device “Reset” feature triggers cleanup of duplicates for CGQ sensors
  • [Backup] Exclude “log” collection when creating a DOTS backup to reduce file size and backup / recover times
  • [Installation] Fixed double-selection of DOTS service ports and mongodb not running during migrations

V1.2.5

  • [Installation] Improved robustness of installer

V1.2.0

  • [CGQ] Improved handling to prevent duplication of devices and to increase robustness

V1.2.8

  • [Notifications] Improved display of unhandled error messages

V1.2.7

  • Fixed UI issues on Basic Information dialog of Object Detail Page

V1.2.0

  • Improved notification text when LIS Drive runs out of battery
  • Replaced the “Action” button on the Object Detail Page with individual action icons to export, edit, etc. Object data
  • Simplified process to add, edit, duplicate, and delete graphs
  • [Dashboard] Improved info display when hovering the mouse pointer over the header of a Dashboard card
  • [Dashboard] Skeleton cards are shown until content is available when the Dashboard is loading
  • Changed the timestamp visualization to 24-hour format to be consistent across the DOTS Software
  • The underline of hyperlinks no longer overlaps and hides any underscores within the hyperlink text
  • [Group control] The status of all Objects in a grouped Experiment are now indicated in the stacked card view, instead of only showing the status indicator of the first Object
  • [Menu bar] The search field is now permanently displayed
  • [LIS] Adjusted icons on the control buttons of LIS experiments
  • Updated the display of the “Page not found” page
  • The battery level of disconnected devices is no longer shown during the device assignment step of Experiment creation wizard
  • [Logging]
  • Fronted errors are now logged to the backend.log file
  • Service health, memory, and CPU usage are now regularly logged
  • Adjusted the log level of certain events to make log files more useful in troubleshooting cases
  • [Health data] Health information of MongoDB, keycloak, and nginx are now shown in the DOTS Tray application
  • DOTS Shutdown prevention is automatically disabled when the backend is stopped since shutdown prevention is unnecessary if DOTS is not running
  • [Performance] Sensor data can now be compressed to reduce traffic between the frontend and backend
  • [Auto Offset] Improved the algorithm for corner cases, especially when little data is available
  • General improvements of the vendor tooling
  • [Administration] To avoid a situation where no user with admin rights exists, admins can no longer remove admin rights from themselves
