🚀 QC One Portal: Release 5.6.0
New Features
Self service Parameters
This new beta-feature(*) allows users to create and manage their own specification parameters directly within their environment, providing greater flexibility and reducing the need to rely on the QC One team for parameter configuration.
- A new Parameters page has been added to the Library menu.
- Users can create and manage their own parameters.
- The feature currently supports parameter types Text, Number, Select and Date
Multi array numeric parameters with calculations
Multi array numeric parameters allow users to capture multiple numeric values in one parameter. (Beta)
This (beta) feature enables the option to automatically calculate a result from those values. Supported calculations include average, highest value, lowest value, sum, and count.
We sometimes release new features in beta so you can benefit from them sooner. Beta features are still being refined and may contain bugs or have some limitations. We’d love to hear about your experience—your feedback helps us improve them. Please reach to us if you have any questions.
Improvements
Report E-mail Notification Now ON by default
Previously, report email notifications were disabled by default for new users added to an organisation within a licensee environment. Based on your feedback, we have changed this: email notifications are now enabled by default for newly added users.
Users can always manage personal notification preferences in their own account settings. More info in this support article.
Green Icons for Conclusion Blocks
All blocks within the conclusion block now have a green icon to indicate they belong to the conclusion block. This improves clarity.
Bug fixes
- We fixed an error that occurs when creating a library product on the library category page.
- Improved stability of legacy-to-Specification Manager template conversion
