Bug Fixes

• No Updates

Known Issues

• In the BAS Inventory, a snackbar message may display "Missing Inventory URL" if a BAS Inventory hasn't ever been retrieved or a new BAS Inventory is being retrieved.
  Workaround: To verify if an inventory is being retrieved, check the BAS Agent status. It should display "Inventory Scanning". The BAS Agent logs will also display an output if the BAS Inventory is currently scanning.
• While the Ping message does not display in the User Interface, the Ping is completing in the background and the connection status will still indicate whether the Agent is connected.
• Reassigning an Agent can sometimes cache the old Agent network configuration.
  Workaround: Create an Agent, configure the network THEN assign the Agent serial number.
• Deleting an Agent throws a server error, however the Agent is actually being deleted correctly.
  Workaround: After deleting an Agent, please refresh your browser window. The deleted Agent should no longer show on the list.

Architect

Features and Improvements

• Time-series APIs are now available! In Architect, if you navigate to a Sensor or Weather station, you can now preview the data. This will help in ensuring you have data for your Sensors and that your conversions are working as intended.

• NEXTBETA-42: Added bulk selection controls and search capability in the Architect Wizard Equipment table. This should allow for faster exclusion of Equipment while mapping.

• Optimized the Architect Wizard Equipment table which was previously taking a long time to load.
• NEXTBETA-39: You now have the ability to remove a Conversion from a Sensor.

Bug Fixes

• No updates.

Known Issues

• Creating large quantities of Equipment and Sensors with the Architect Wizard can cause a timeout error.
  Workaround: Batch the Equipment and Sensor creation into smaller batches of 5-10 maximum.
