• General improvements and optimizations

1. Permission issue with reorders

• Fixed: Users without the correct permissions were able to trigger reorders.

• The permission check has been corrected and now works as intended.

2. Service URL reset issue

• Fixed: The Vision application automatically reset the service URL to portier-service.de on startup.

• The configured URL now remains persistent and is no longer overwritten.

3. Additional improvements and fixes

• Various minor issues have been resolved to improve stability and performance.

1. Null Column Values Causing Hidden Records in the UI

Description
A database issue was identified where null values in critical columns caused related records to disappear from the user interface. The following elements were affected:

• Keys

• Cylinders

• Locking Systems

Although the data existed in the database, it did not appear in the UI, resulting in inconsistent system behavior.

Impact

• Users could not view or manage affected entries.

• Locking systems appeared incomplete or missing.

• Data exports and overviews did not match the actual database contents.

Resolution

• Implemented improved validation to ensure UI visibility no longer depends on null-sensitive fields.

• Added safeguards to prevent incomplete records from causing display failures.

• Updated internal logic to handle missing values more reliably.

2. Empty Tile Structures Inserted During User Role Assignment

Description
During role assignment, the system occasionally inserted empty tile structure values into the database.

Root Cause
A misconstructed LIKE operator in the query prevented the correct tile structure from being retrieved. This resulted in incomplete permission data being written.

Impact

• Incorrect or missing UI tiles for affected users.

• Permissions did not reflect the assigned roles.

• Administrators needed to manually correct user configurations.

Resolution

• Corrected the query logic responsible for retrieving tile structure information.

• Fixed and validated the LIKE operator to ensure proper pattern matching.

• Added protective checks to prevent saving empty tile structure entries.

3. Unauthorized (401) Error During License Registration

Description
When attempting to activate a license online, the system displayed an Unauthorized (401) error.

Root Cause

• The issue was not caused by Chargebee authentication.

• The application failed to correctly load its configuration settings, causing it to miss the Chargebee API key during activation.

Impact

• Online license activation failed.

• Users were required to retry or switch to manual activation.

Resolution

• Corrected the settings-loading process to ensure the Chargebee API key is consistently available.

• Added validation logic to confirm that required configuration values are present before starting the activation process.

• Improved error handling to prevent false 401 errors when configuration data is incomplete.

Improvements & New Features

• Improved French translations across the entire application.

• Database owner rights verification before updates are applied.

• Database version compatibility check between local and server installations.

• Enhanced AS2 connection with REST API support.

• Order menu now sorted by newest order date first.

• New cylinder history function with query capability.

• Find and Replace optimised with batch updates.

Bug Fixes

• Multiple minor source code issues resolved.

New Features and Improvements

AS2 REST Integration

Implementation of a REST-based AS2 interface for improved communication with external systems.

Optimisations

• Cylinder length display: new columns for cylinder lengths added to the order position view. Increases transparency and control when ordering and managing cylinders.

• Order position sorting: order positions are now sorted by default with the newest orders shown first. Improved clarity in daily workflow.

Role-based access restrictions

Read and write rights for the Cylinder form have been adjusted. Users with roles below administrator level now have restricted access. Increased security and better control over sensitive data.

Dashboard extension

Cylinder history (History Tile): new dashboard element for detailed tracking and analysis of cylinder changes. Supports audit processes and makes changes easier to trace within the system.

Highlights

DOM ENIQ Integration

• Digital locking systems: seamless management of DOM ENIQ cylinders and transponders within portier.

• Logging & security: complete tracking of access events, modifications and system activities.

• Mapping tool: simple assignment (auto and manual) of personnel data to keys and transponders.

• Synchronisation: changes in DOM ENIQ or portier are synchronised with one click via the portierVision Agent.

• Key issuance and return: full transponder management including issuance, return and time validity.

• Key bundles: group and manage multiple keys or transponders as sets directly within portier.

portier Companion

• Replaces the old DB configurator: now the central solution for database connections and XML facility imports.

• Intuitive user interface for streamlined setup.

• Coming soon: XML imports from ASSA Abloy and Dorma Kaba.
