New features and improvements

Shares logging (admin)

We improved our logging and error monitoring and implemented the new snap-in group “Protocol overview” (see also Core Engine's Release Note 3.10). The snap-in "Shares" gives an overview of all shared contents (e.g. eTickets) including objects and link. Learn more.

More sync user to contact options (admin)

We improved the behaviour of synchronizing users to contacts. Admins can now change the synchronization direction and define the leading, editable object. They can also define whether a contact / user shall be deleted when deleting the linked user / contact.

• General system configurations/User settings/User: switch "Synchronize user to contact module"
  • if activated: initially creates a contact from this user. The user is the leading, editable object.
  • if deactivated: the created contact becomes the leading, editable object. The user is not editable anymore.
• General system configurations/User settings/User: action "Reverse synchronization" makes the user the leading object again (shows only if contact is the leading object)
• General system configurations/User settings/Synchronized users: added switch "Delete user when contact is deleted"
  • Please note: Only a leading object can be deleted.

Technical changes & admin instructions

Module configuration: Split .4apmsetup files into multiple files

We improved our feature permissions, presets, and native permissions handling to make custom permissions upgrade safe. For this, the contents of configuration files

• global/defaults/module.4apmsetup
• global/defaults/permission.4apmsetup
• modules/MODULE/setup.4apmsetup

as well as according custom files are automatically split to new files. For details, please refer the Core Engine Release Notes 3.10.
