Shift Log Release 4.13.2

Shift Log version 4.13 adds the ability to configure multiple levels of conditional fields, auto fetch for tags, new related tab for entries and defaults for Workbooks.

Shift Log 4.13.2 adds a range of new components for use with Workbook studio, security for fields that are on a specific form, the use of attributes as soft limits for data entry fields and multi-select fields for field sets.


New Components Added to Workbook Studio

A collection of new components have been added to the Workbook studio, adding a range of chart types, display options and more. This greatly increases the components available for use when building a Workbook page.

Individual Fields Secured on a Form

Security can be applied on a field-by-field basis to a particular form.

When multiple users interact with the same form, it may be the case that different groups of users require access to different fields on the form. Through adding field level security to forms, it is now possible for different users, or groups of users, to only see and/or contribute to specific fields on a form.

Security is applied to fields that are on a form and does not apply to the fields globally. In addition, security cannot be applied to a form’s required fields.

The Everyone role with Contribute privileges is the default security for new and existing form fields.

Clickable icons indicate form field security levels.

The Everyone role has Contribute privileges; this means the field is not secured.
The Everyone role does not have Contribute privileges. Roles have been individually assigned View and Contribute privileges for the selected field in the form.

Note: For a field set to work correctly, users must be assigned Contribute privileges for all fields used in the field set.


Attributes as Soft Limits in Entry Forms

Extending the field soft limits functionality introduced in version 4.13.0, attribute values can now be used to determine the soft limits for attribute type data entry fields in entry forms.

The limits can be set when configuring Fields in Server Management.

From version 4.13.0, static values and tags can be added as soft validation limits to numeric data entry fields and used in all types of entry forms.


Multi-Select Field Added to Field Set

Multiple selections can now be made for the last field in a field set. This allows users to choose multiple options in chained combinations, for example selecting multiple sub-areas.

The final field in a field set can be multi-select, and this field is also the final field in the dialog.
