Bridgeway Suite 8.10.0

Service Pack 4 Release

Summary

---

• Version(s) patched:

  8.10.0

• Date Released:

  04/28/2017

• Issues:
  • Application logs, such as the logging for workflow rules, sometimes stop logging.
  • When using Business Objects as the report engine, discounts are not always displayed in the Invoice Summary report.
  • Suite's clustering sub-system writes innocuous entries to the log files.
  • Custom rules are using a deprecated method to send an email notification with a link to an invoice or matter summary page, and the links are not working.
  • Invoice email notifications are not displaying special characters for matter and entity names.
  • The first time a Suite web page is downloaded, it is initially loaded without formatting, causing the page to flicker.
  • When using Business Objects and Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the drilldowns in the Cost by Legal Section and Cost over Time reports are returning error messages.
  • Users are unable to add multiple evaluation records with the same evaluation date and evaluator for the same person.
  • If the MatterPlayerLimitToOnePerRole Rule is enabled when running the Global Assign Wizard, the rule is triggered and prevents reassigned records from being saved.
  • The formatting on the Cost by Matter Type report sometimes causes the legend to overlap the title and chart.
  • The Invoice Approval Defaults button on the Matter tab for an invoice is not removing manually entered approvers and therefore not properly restoring the default approver list.

• Resolutions:
  • Application logs are now written to the data root when enabled in the Rules Engine.
  • When using Business Objects as the report engine, discounts are now displayed in the Invoice Summary report.
  • Changes to the darwin.properties file stop Suite's clustering sub-system from writing innocuous entries to the log files.
  • Custom rules that use a deprecated method to send an email notification with a link to an invoice or matter summary page now create secure links.
  • Invoice email notifications are now displaying special characters for matter and entity names.
  • Pages no longer flicker when first downloaded.
  • When using Business Objects and Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the drilldowns in the Cost by Legal Section and Cost over Time reports no longer return error messages.
  • Users are now able to add multiple evaluation records with the same evaluation date and evaluator for the same person.
  • The Global Assign Wizard now runs correctly with the new MatterPlayerLimitToOnePerRole Rule.
  • The formatting on the Cost by Matter Type report no longer causes the legend to overlap the title and chart.
  • The Invoice Approval Defaults button on the Matter tab for an invoice is now removing manually entered approvers and therefore not properly restoring the default approver list.
