This includes customizing email content and styling, and enabling or disabling notifications at the building level.  Space ReservationFeatures Description Metrics Dashboard Refresh Technical Info: Browse and Navigate Reservations Enablement Resources: Reservation Analytics - User Guide The metrics dashboard for Space Reservation has been visually updated to align with the modern design system and graphical components used throughout the employee-facing interface. This refresh includes new visualizations like line, pie, and bar charts, as well as a new detailed analytics page to give you deeper insights into reservation data. We’ve also enhanced the design for the date range and filter options, making it easier to analyze your data. Show Colleagues Global Setting Technical Info: Configure Reservation Settings This new global setting gives administrators control over the visibility of colleague positions on floor maps and resource lists. Organizations can now choose to enable or disable the display of colleagues, ensuring greater privacy and control over how this information is shared. Attendee Status in Reports Technical Info: Browse and Navigate Reports The Reservation Service 2.0 Report now includes a new Attendee Status column. This provides a clear, at-a-glance view of the response status for each attendee’s service request within a reservation. Concierge Report Enhancements Technical Info: Manage Workspace, Desk, or Room Reservations - Concierge The Concierge Menu Report has been updated to include the same data fields as the Reservation Services 2.0 Report. This enhancement ensures consistency and provides a more comprehensive overview of your data across both reports. Order Management Technical Info: Configure custom statuses View requests - Concierge Enablement Resources: Order Management - User Guide Order Management is a centralized hub within Reservation Services for internal teams to track and manage service requests from room reservations. This feature provides the tools needed for efficient fulfillment and coordination.   With this new implementation, teams can: Configure custom statuses for their services. View all submitted requests in a single, comprehensive list. Filter orders by key attributes like location, order type, and service. Assign orders to specific statuses and team members. Smart Relocations Technical Info: Configure Scheduled Maintenance and Smart Relocations This enhanced feature allows administrators to manage meetings in bulk when a floor or zone is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. An entire area can be set as unavailable, and all existing meetings during that time can be automatically relocated to new spaces or marked with a conflict status.  Digital Signage  Features Description Devices Map View Enhancements Technical Info: Create and Configure Devices Map View Enablement Resources: Device Map View - User Guide The Devices Map View is now fully available with several key improvements for managing device locations and status. Key Updates General Availability: The Map button is now visible and accessible (Devices > Map). Set Device Location: Place a marker for unmarked devices using the Devices > Map page or the new “Set Location” button on the Device Overview modal. Update device markers from the Devices > Map page or the Device Overview modal. Simplified Floor Assignment: Assign a floor level directly from the Device Overview page. (To place the marker on a floor plan, use Devices > Map.) Improved Map Interaction: Device markers visually indicate health status (Online, Offline). Selecting a device from the sidebar automatically pans and zooms the map to its location. Clicking a marker opens the Device Overview modal. These enhancements offer a more efficient way to manage device status and locations. Devices Integrations  Technical Info: Configuring and Managing Device Settings in the Appspace Console Devices Integrations is now a native platform capability. This core functionality provides a unified, centralized interface for the administration and control of all integrated devices. Key Updates Centralized Management: Users can now easily access the Integrations button to manage device integrations. Easy Access: The new Integrations option is located under Devices > Settings > Global > Integrations. Updated Zoom Rooms Device Status Technical Info: Integrating Zoom Rooms with Appspace   The logic for determining the status of Zoom Rooms devices has been updated to provide clearer and more accurate device status reporting: Devices will now only be marked as “Lost Communication” if the Appspace App has not been active for more than 24 hours. If a device has communicated with Appspace within the last 24 hours, its status will be shown as “Online.” The existing logic for displaying the “Offline” status (such as after 2 weeks of no communication) remains unchanged. App Version Pinning Technical Info: Device-Level Pinning Location-Level Pinning A new App Version Pinning feature has been introduced, empowering administrators with enhanced control over app updates across devices. With this feature, you can pin an entire location or an individual device to a specific app version, ensuring consistency, stability, and predictability in deployment.   Location-Level Pinning Administrators can now pin a specific app version for an entire location. All devices assigned to that location will automatically use the pinned version. A new App Version button in the Software Updates section of Location settings allows administrators to select device types and assign the target app versions with ease. Device-Level Pinning Devices and sub-locations inherit the pinned app version from their parent location by default. When a device requires a different version, administrators can override the inherited setting in the device’s Configuration page. Removing the override restores the device’s inherited version from its location. Notes: Availability: This feature is currently supported only for Tizen device types in this release. Devices that do not support version pinning will not display the App Version control. Integration with Scheduled Updates: App Version Pinning is fully compatible with the existing Scheduled Update feature, allowing administrators to pair a specific target version with a planned deployment time. Multilingual AI Card Translation and Translation Management Enhancements Technical Info: AI Card Translation Location Level Multilingual AI Card Translation This new functionality allows for the definition of a primary language for AI-generated content and the subsequent generation of translations for global audiences in up to 33 supported languages. Primary Language Definition: A primary language is now defined during the initial AI card generation process. Translation Workflows: Following content generation, two distinct translation workflows are available: Automatic Translation: Instantaneous generation of translations using AI services. Manual Translation: Creation of editable versions, intended for localized manual input and review. Enhanced Translation Management A dedicated Translations panel has been introduced to centralize the management of all language versions of an AI-generated card. Management capabilities include: Version Oversight: Comprehensive viewing and administration of all available language versions (default and translated). Default Language Reassignment: The option to designate any existing translation as the new default language. Version Deletion: Specific translated versions can be deleted (the current default language is protected against deletion). Synchronization Tools: Actions such as Push updates to all languages and Sync with default language are available to ensure translations reflect the latest changes in the default language.   Notes: The pre-requisite to use the AI translation feature is the activation of the Appspace Intelligence Translation setting. This is enabled via the following configuration path: Configuration > Employee Experience > Enable the Appspace Intelligence Account Control. Translation Languages Settings at Location Level Translation languages can now be configured by Administrators at the location level, establishing consistency and governance across all associated sub-locations and devices. Hierarchical Inheritance: Translation languages configured at a root or parent location are automatically inherited by all child locations and devices. Language Selection: Selection is available from 33 supported languages; English is always selected as the base language. Management Efficiency: "Select All" and "Unselect All" options are provided for efficient configuration. Compliance Note: Inherited languages cannot be manually unselected at sub-locations. This setting is applicable only to AI-generated cards utilizing multilingual translation services. Translation Reset Upon Content Modification To maintain translation accuracy, an automatic translation reset mechanism has been implemented by the system. Automated Clearing: All existing translated text is cleared, and fields revert to an empty state whenever a significant content modification is made. Triggers: The reset is automatically initiated after new content generation, card regeneration, or prompt editing. Purpose: This action prevents new or regenerated content from being paired with outdated translations, requiring a fresh translation process to align with the latest default language content. These enhancements provide a robust and centrally managed multilingual content experience. New Global Brand Center Page All global branding configurations have been consolidated into a single, centralized page. Users can now conveniently access and manage all brand-related settings from the new location at Configurations > Global Brand, streamlining the process of maintaining consistent branding across the platform.  Employee Communications  Features Description Internal Link Previews Technical Info: Create Posts in Employee App     When an internal link is pasted into a page, story editor, or the sharebox, a rich preview is automatically generated. This preview provides a visual summary of the content, including a title, thumbnail, and description.   For added convenience, this preview includes a Share Post button, which allows for direct sharing of the content without leaving the current page. Campaigns  Technical Info: Add and Manage Campaigns   The Campaigns feature allows publishers to create and manage a series of coordinated posts aimed at achieving a specific goal. It also provides real-time analytics to track performance and measure the campaign’s effectiveness. Document Libraries (SharePoint Integration) Technical Info: Connect a Document Library to Microsoft Sharepoint This feature enables synchronization of documents from SharePoint into community document libraries. Users can seamlessly access and manage SharePoint files directly within their community spaces.  PlatformFeatures Description Presence Technical Info: Presence Settings for Employee Experience The new Presence feature provides administrators with a simple way to configure real-time user status for an organization. This can be accomplished by activating the native presence service or by syncing directly with Microsoft 365, giving teams the flexibility to stay visible and connected in the way that works best for them. Improved Search Functionality Technical Info: Search Insights The admin view has been enhanced with search insight, providing administrators with advanced tools to streamline network management. This improvement offers a more precise and efficient way to locate devices, content, and other assets within the platform. Multi-Factor Authentication Technical Info: Appspace Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) This update introduces Multi-Factor Authentication as a new security layer for Appspace. To address the security risks of single-factor, local authentication, administrators can now enable MFA to require a second form of verification. This enhancement significantly strengthens the platform’s security, helping to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive administrative data.  Maintenance Releases   Appendix Release Schedule InformationThe following is the release management schedule as per our Release Calendar for Public Cloud: New Appspace functionality and major platform optimizations will now be released under a quartely release cycle, scheduled at 08:00 pm CST on Friday.

This ensures a standardized and familiar format for all date and time representations. Note Space Reservation and Visitor Management features are not yet included in this date and time display update. Further information regarding these will be provided later.   User Invitation Improvement   Technical Info  User invitation emails will now be sent in each user’s preferred language, enhancing clarity and personalization. Additionally, the user onboarding pages can also be translated into various languages, ensuring a smoother and more accessible setup experience for everyone. Web Push Notifications for Browser   Technical Info  Web push notifications have been implemented to support browser users. This feature enhances user engagement by delivering timely updates and alerts directly to their web browsers. Streamlined First-Time User Onboarding   Technical Info  The initial sign-in experience for first-time users on Appspace is now streamlined. We’re pre-populating modules with sample data to offer a guided introduction to our solutions, helping new users get up to speed quickly.   SCIM-Based Group Management   Technical Info  This feature enables the automated creation and management of user groups within Appspace via your existing Identity Provider (IdP) using System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol support. This eliminates the need for manual group updates, streamlining administrative tasks. While group names and memberships are controlled by the IdP, Appspace administrators retain the ability to assign roles and licenses as required.  Visitor ManagementFeatures Description Drop-in workflow improvements   Technical Info  This feature ensures that when visitor drop-ins are disabled at a specific location, visitors using the kiosk will not have access to the drop-in workflow (without a reservation code), this option will be hidden. This prevents confusion and ensures the correct process is followed when drop-ins are not permitted.     Check-in notification delegation   Technical Info    This feature delegates check-in notifications to designated individuals or teams instead of the original host. It's especially useful for meetings with external stakeholders or clients, where a dedicated team or assistant handles visitor arrivals.   Operational Details: New Facilitator Permission: There’s a new permission in the “Facilitators” role. It allows designated users to get visitor management (VM) notifications. Organizer Notification Option: When an organizer sends a visitor invitation for someone else, a new field pops up. This gives the organizer the option to receive the same check-in notifications as the host.   Expanded Device Support for Visitor Kiosk Card   Technical Info    This enhancement broadens the compatibility of the Visitor Kiosk Card across a wider array of devices. It integrates essential functionalities such as camera support for QR code scanning and photo capture, along with ensuring seamless printer compatibility. This expansion will significantly improve the user experience by offering greater flexibility in hardware choices.   Supported Devices: Crestron TSW 1060 (Supported QR code scanning and photo capture) iAdea WRP1000 (Not supported – Device does not include a built-in camera) Logitech Tap Scheduler (Not supported – Device does not include a built-in camera) Neat Frame (Supported QR code scanning and photo capture) Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 & A8 (Supported QR code scanning and photo capture)   Visitor Kiosk Check-in Lead Time Enhancement   Technical Info    This improvement to the Visitor Kiosk introduces a new “Visitor Check-in Lead Time” field. This field, which is tied to the “Allow Visitor Reservations” rule, gives administrators the flexibility to define how far in advance a visitor can check in for a scheduled meeting.   Previously, the system had a fixed one-hour lead time for check-ins. Now, with this update, if the “Allow Visitor Reservations” rule is enabled and an administrator doesn’t specify a different lead time, the default will remain one hour. This enhancement provides greater control and customization for visitor check-in procedures.      Space ReservationsFeatures Description Enhanced Delegates Feature with Executive Assistant View   Technical Info  This update fully enables the Delegates feature, expanding upon the initial Executive Assistant View (Phase 1) to offer comprehensive support for executive assistant workflows.   Phase 2 specifically empowers delegates with full operational control over executive reservations by importing their permissions directly from O365. This means delegates can now perform key actions on behalf of other users, including:   Check in to a reservation. Complete checkpoints. Extend or end a reservation. Additionally, the Concierge module now also supports actions performed by delegates on behalf of other users, further streamlining administrative tasks.      Employee CommunicationsFeatures Description Link Snippets in Sharebox and Editor   Technical Info  This feature streamlines content creation by automatically generating link previews whenever a URL is pasted into the page editor, story editor, or sharebox. This enhancement provides an immediate visual representation of the linked content, improving the user experience and facilitating quicker content review. Custom Praises   Technical Info  Account owners can now configure custom praises directly from the admin view. This feature allows for the personalization of both praise names and their corresponding illustrations, enabling a tailored recognition experience within the system.   Enhanced Comments Threads & Attachments   Technical Info  This feature significantly upgrades the comment section by enabling comment threads and supporting attachments. Users can now engage in more organized discussions through nested replies and share relevant files directly within the comments, streamlining collaboration and information exchange.

It’s designed to make communication faster and more personalized, enhancing the user’s experience. AI Connectors   Technical Info  This feature empowers publishers to enhance content imported from various sources using artificial intelligence. It enables AI-driven enrichment of synced content and facilitates the creation of scheduled content with AI assistance. Document Library in Topics   Technical Info  The Document Library feature is now available within Topics, mirroring its functionality and accessibility in Communities. This enhancement allows for organized document storage and retrieval directly within Topic sections. Content Schedule Calendar Technical Info The Content Schedule Calendar provides a centralized, interactive display of all scheduled content and upcoming expirations. This eliminates the need for manual spreadsheets and significantly reduces the risk of outdated content.   Available in: Admin view – Post module Community feed User profile   Ask AI Widget in Community Feeds   Technical Info  Community administrators can now integrate the Ask AI widget directly into the community feed. This allows users to leverage AI capabilities for quick information retrieval and support within their community environment.    Digital SignageFeatures Description GA Feature Flags for AI Image/Text Generation and AI Generate Card The feature flags for AI Image/Text Generation and the AI Generate Card are now generally available (GA).

If no target selected, the rule applies to all. Allow a rule to be applied more than once (e.g. the “Restricted Days/Times” constraint applied twice but with different targets). If same targets, existing rule is overwritten. If a user is targeted by multiple rules of the same type, the following logic is applied. Priority The inherited rule is lower in priority than the direct rule. The target user is higher than the target user group that the user belongs to. If priority is the same, then the last rule created (sort based on date) is used. These rule types are replaced based on priority: Min duration, max duration, min book time, max advance book time, capacity. These rule types are replaced based on the OR rule: Restricted Days/Times.

User listings now display more information on the dashboard, allowing administrators to quickly identify users based on user name, email address, roles, user groups, and status. User listings can be displayed in a grid or listing view. Apart from the usual user details on the User Profile page, administrators now can view the roles, channels, and channel group permissions the user has been granted with. Support for bulk user invitations through Appspace, or via an excel spreadsheet imported to Appspace. Common Library permissions are now configured from the All Users option. The User Group Library is enabled from the User Group profile page and can be configured for automatic content deletion. All user roles and permissions are now assigned via the Users module. User roles have also been given an uplift to make it easier for new users to easily assign roles based on functions. We have renamed some old roles: Portal Administrator –> Portal Admin Account Administrator –> Account Admin Account Owner Network Administrator –> Location Admin Content Administrator –> Publisher Content Producer –> Author Standard user –> Viewer NoteSee Browse and Navigate Users Module in Appspace 8.0 article for more information. Improvements to Appspace MenuAs part of our on-going UI improvements exercise, the following interfaces have been renamed and changed:The “network” terminology has been replaced with “locations” throughout the Appspace platform, to aptly personify how we now would like users to categorize and group devices according to their physical location in a geographical location, campus location, or building. The Networks tab in the Devices module is now renamed to Locations. See Add and Manage Locations in Devices for more information. With the above change, the Maps module, previously housed under Admin > Maps in the Appspace menu, which allowed users to create floor plans and maps according to a geographical location, campus location, or building (previously tied to the network structure) has been aptly moved to Locations, which is housed in the main Appspace menu sidebar.

This integration is necessary to support the newly introduced Social card by Appspace. The Social card theme consists of the Facebook card and the Instagram card, and is available in the Appspace Library. The cards allow organizations to display the respective social media posts from either a corporate account or page, together with other corporate communications content in the playlist.Resolved EscalationsAE-6321 – Performance issues on private cloud server when navigating to Devices and Channels on the Appspace menu, or when switching between different networks.

The card can be added to either a playlist channel or advanced channels. The thumbnail of the Content Conversion card is automatically generated by taking the first page of the content by default, but users are able to change this in the content thumbnail section. The converted content in the Content Conversion card is not editable. Only file names that are alphanumeric can be successfully uploaded as a security measure, thus file names containing any form of special characters will automatically fail to upload.Known Issues:In the current release, we are unable to convert files that have Unicode filenames, found mainly in Arabic and Asian fonts. We are currently working on a fix, which shall be released in our upcoming update. As a workaround, we recommend renaming files containing Unicode, to non-Unicode characters for the conversion service to convert files successfully. This feature is not supported on legacy devices. Organizations that are still using legacy devices may disable this by contacting Appspace Support, as legacy devices do not support Cards.Resolved EscalationsAE-6353 – Unable to create HDMI Input on BrightSign external content in Library.

Firmware Support Webview Card Supporting the latest updates to the Webview card, allowing the iframe to reflect the configured style set by the Media Zone widget. This improvement resolves the issue experienced by the Progressive Web App (PWA), iOS, and Webex devices.   RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-10803 – Advanced channel content audio plays from another layout. AE-10958 – On-screen engagement features displayed outside of the operating hours.    14 Aug 2024, ThursdayApp for Devices 2.74Release Platform: AllNEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description Impact/Outcome Real-Time App Communication – Channel Updates In this update, when a device with push updates enabled receives a “channel.unassigned” Push Notification Service (PNS) message, the device will now automatically display a “No channels assigned” page. This update is designed to provide users with a clear and immediate indication that no channels are currently assigned to their devices.   Real-Time App Communication – Push Update The failed content download retry mechanism has been enhanced to improve timing based on the Push Update setting.   With Push Update enabled: The retry for failed content downloads will now initiate after a delay determined by the “cdnagent.contentdownloadcycle” setting (e.g., 20 seconds). With Push Update disabled: The retry will occur during the next scheduled sync cycle.   Device Tasks and Health Services Previously, if the system failed to retrieve the timestamp, both the Advanced Device Management (ADM) and Health services would stop, causing devices to be incorrectly marked as “Lost Communications”. This issue made critical device tasks inoperable and led to confusion and concern for users, as it seemed that devices were offline or malfunctioning.   With this update, the system now better handles prolonged server errors by allowing devices to continue reporting their “Online” status to Appspace, even if timestamp retrieval fails. This prevents false alarms and ensures accurate device status, allowing critical device tasks to continue functioning as expected and providing a more reliable experience for users.   App Update Improvements Previously, during an App update, the cached timestamp and script were always deleted, requiring the App to retrieve them from the server, which resulted in increased server load.   To address this, a version check for the app script parser has been introduced during updates. This check determines whether the channel timestamp should be cleared based on changes in the script parser version, optimizing server performance. When script versions are incompatible: The App will clear the cached timestamp and restart to ensure proper functioning with the new script version. When script versions are undefined or unchanged: The App will retain the cached timestamp, avoiding unnecessary restarts and reducing server load. This enhancement ensures that the App only clears the cached timestamp when necessary, thereby improving efficiency during updates.   BrightSign – Audio Improvements When switching from the second layout (HDMI Input) back to the first layout, the audio from the HDMI Input continued to play due to incomplete disposal of the HDMI video, which only paused instead of stopping.   This issue has been resolved by implementing fixes that mute widgets, video objects, and audio during layout transitions, ensuring that audio does not persist when switching between layouts.   Appspace App for Devices – Support for ChromeOS LTS 126 Support for ChromeOS LTS 126 on Appspace App for Devices. Firmware Support FIXED BUGSAPC-7270 – The Appspace App for Windows crashes when the ALT key is pressed.

AE-10938 – Worker device reboots when configured for synchronized playback.    12 July 2024, FridayApp for Devices 2.73Release Platform: All (except BrightSign)NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description Impact/Outcome On-Screen Engagement – Player Properties This release introduces the following player properties to manage the visibility of QR codes on posts. By default, if on-screen engagement is enabled at the account level and player.social.qrcode.enable is not configured, the on-screen engagement bar with the QR code will be displayed, directing users to the Employee View post link. When player.social.qrcode.enable is set to “true,” the on-screen engagement bar with the QR code will be shown, and if set to “false,” the QR code will be hidden. In scenarios where on-screen engagement is disabled (and the property is set to true) at the account level and a post with a “Referral link” URL is published to devices but not to users (Employee View), the playlist channel will show only the Referral QR Code, without on-screen engagement features. When on-screen engagement is enabled (and the property is set to true) and the post is published to both devices and users, the playlist channel will include the QR code, comments, and reactions, directing users to the Employee View post link. Any changes to the player property will result in instant updates to the device playback.   Real-Time App Communication – Channel Updates In this release, a Start Timer is introduced to purge invalid cached content upon enabling Push Updates. When Push Updates is enabled, invalid cached content will be purged after a calculated delay based on the content download and cache purge cycles, defaulting to 60 seconds if not configured. Setting the purge cycle to zero will result in immediate purging. When Push Updates is disabled, invalid content is purged after a set number of successful sync cycles, defaulting to three cycles, but this can be adjusted to purge immediately after one cycle if desired.   RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-10864 – All device status are currently in “lost communication” and “out of sync”.    29 June 2024, SaturdayApp for Devices 2.72Release Platform: AllNEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description Impact/Outcome On-Screen Engagement – QR Codes and Reactions Introducing the On-Screen Engagement feature, designed to enhance interaction with digital signage and Employee Communications content. This feature integrates QR codes on signage screens, allowing users to effortlessly access additional information by scanning the codes with their mobile devices. Feature Highlights: Dynamic QR Codes: Utilize built-in “Referral Link” functionality for seamless integration with the Employee View and partner applications.

Following this recognition, the optimizing WebexDriver will be installed to implement all relevant performance and stability enhancements.   Serial Number, IP Address, and MAC Address Information Upon Device Registration As part of the Device Status Webhooks initiative, we’ve improved the registration request payload to include the device’s IP Address, Serial Number, and MAC Address (if available). Channel ID in Content’s QR Link As part of the Content Playback Reports initiative, the content QR link has been improved by appending the Channel ID. This allows the Channel ID to be passed directly from the Content Feed Service to the Analytics event. Device Group ID, Device Tags, and Channel ID Information The Content Playback Analytics data now includes Device Group ID, Device Tags, and Channel ID information. This enhancement is part of the Content Playback Reports initiative. Storage Usage Information Enhancement The Device Analytics and Insights Enhancement initiative includes an upgraded device metrics API. This upgrade provides a more accurate understanding of your device fleet, provided devices are registered to an Appspace server running version 8.11.0-ac.1 or higher. Device metrics are automatically sent from your devices, except when in preview mode. This data transmits periodically, roughly every 12 hours, or more frequently if a significant change, like a 1% difference in storage usage, is detected. The device metrics service automatically starts when your device boots up, registers, or recovers from a network disruption. If an update fails to send, for example due to a temporary network issue, the system will retry sending the data. These retries use a waiting strategy, starting at 1 minute and gradually increasing up to a maximum of 30 minutes, to ensure your data is delivered reliably once connectivity is restored. The service automatically stops if the device is unregistered. FIXED BUGSAPC-7822 – BrightSign devices running BSFW 9.0.189 with Chromium 110 enabled fail to load iframes, causing both Advanced Signs in channel browsing mode and Broadcast with channel type to not load.

This results in wider compatibility. LED Room Status Indicators: Qbic devices connected via the PWA can now use their LED lights to visually show the current status of a room for example: available, busy. Deeper Device Insights: For easier monitoring and troubleshooting, detailed information about Qbic PWA devices can now be accessed, such as:IP address: MAC address Device Model Firmware version CPU usage Memory usage Available storage Simpler Device Setup & Recovery: The processes for registering a new device or recovering an existing one have been streamlined, enabling the direct use of the device’s serial number. Note With the release of version 2.84.0, Qbic PWA devices now feature built-in LED integration. This enhancement means that an external device task is no longer required for LED support on these devices, simplifying setup and management. Improvement: Neat Camera Zoom API for Visitor Management Neat cameras now feature new zoom and framing configurations, with the default zoom set to ‘mid.’ Automatic framing can be adjusted using the device.camera.framingmode device property, supporting modes such as maximum or medium centered zoom via ‘zoom‘ or ‘mid‘ values, a full wide view ‘wide‘, no automatic framing ‘off‘, and options to focus framing on groups ‘group‘ or individuals ‘individual‘. Improvement: SureVue App Firmware Version The SureVue Electron App now facilitates the retrieval of the device’s firmware version. This information is accurately displayed and accessible on the ‘Device Menu > Device Info’ page and within the Device Analytics Report. Improvement: Broadcast Alert Service Retry Enhanced Broadcast Service Reliability   An enhancement has been implemented to resolve an issue that prevented broadcast events from processing if the broadcast alert service encountered a transient error during its startup. This previously occurred during active broadcast retrieval, service restarts, or maintenance because the startup process lacked a retry mechanism and would reject the app on initial failure, requiring a restart for recovery. The new retry mechanism robustly handles these startup rejections, ensuring the broadcast alert service consistently starts and processes events, even after temporary disruptions, which significantly improves service reliability. FIXED BUGSAPC-7851 – The “Update Now” feature is delayed on devices in timezones behind UTC, as the update mechanism strictly follows UTC trigger times, leading devices to interpret the schedule based on local clocks and causing updates to occur later than expected. APC-7856 – Failed to cache the media in the signs media container. APC-7871 – An enhancement involves streamlining the workflow for sending the manifest to the platform or AUC service worker. APC-7878 – The iAdea device encounters a content download failure, resulting in it remaining at the sync progress stage without further advancement.RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-12375 – Implement a retry mechanism to start the broadcast alert service once the push notification client establishes a connection and passes the necessary configurations.    App for Devices 2.83 5 May 2025, MondayRelease Platform: PWA NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTSFeatures Description PWA Cache Service: Streamline The Process Of Loading Service Worker For Cards New features streamline how the application loads its service worker for Announcement Cards. The service worker is now managed through the PWA Cache Service, improving performance and removing the dependency on npm. Key improvements include: The service worker now loads from the PWA Cache Service instead of npm. Only cards using the Appspace domain are eligible for caching. All card types are now cached through the service worker. Old content hosted on appspace.com will be purged. The PWA Cache Service loads correctly after registration and unregistration, even across different environments and accounts (when the read flag is enabled). The cache service also loads properly after a device is registered. PWA Cache Service: Invalidate Expired Cache for Cards (AUC Domain) To ensure a seamless and up-to-date experience with Announcement Cards, significant improvements have been implemented regarding cache handling and service worker behavior. These enhancements are designed to optimize performance and guarantee that you always see the latest information. Specifically: Upon switching to the AUC domain, the cache will be purged. Old content is cleared after it is removed. The existing service worker is reused after the read flag is on. The instance service worker will be purged after a card has been edited or removed. Push Health Status: Update Feature Flag Configuration Updated Feature Flag for PNS Health:   The feature flag controlling the Push Notification Service Health feature has been updated to feature.devices.pnsdevicestatus. This change reflects a refinement in how the health and status of devices within the PNS are managed and controlled.  FIXED BUGSAPC-7797 – The PWA app automatically updates card content in a channel whenever new content is added or removed. APC-7849 – The attempt to submit Android application version 2.82.0 to the Google Play Store was unsuccessful. APC-7852 – When the feature.library.storageprovider flag is OFF or not configured, restarting the app clears the cached content.

After the update, the launcher URL will remain set to the version-specific URL. MacOS and Windows Electron Devices (Manual Update): Upon reaching the scheduled update time, the device will update to the latest version. Subsequent automatic update checks at 3:00 AM will be skipped. Other Devices: The software.softwareupdates.schedule device property and <deviceId>device.#.sofwareupdate.configurationupdated PNS message will have no effect on software updates. General Behavior: Upon receiving the <deviceId>device.#.sofwareupdate.configurationupdated PNS message, the device will initiate the scheduled software update. Upon boot-up, the device will schedule the software update based on the software.softwareupdates.schedule device property. Device App Update Management: Execute (Automatic) Update Based On Schedule Provided By PNS And Device Script MacOS and Windows Electron Devices (Automatic Update): Upon receiving the <deviceId>device.#.sofwareupdate.configurationupdated PNS message, the device will schedule the update based on the schedule.updateTime property within the software update configuration. The device will also schedule updates based on the updateTime property from the software.softwareupdates.schedule device property during boot-up. The device will check for updates if the current time is within 5 minutes of the configured update time. The automatic update check time will default to 3:00 AM if: The schedule.updateTime in the software update configuration is invalid or undefined. The schedule.updateType in the software update configuration is not recurring. Device App Update Management: Handling “Update Now” Feature for Automatic And Manual Updates Tizen Devices: Upon executing an immediate update, the device will set the launcher URL to the latest version and reboot. If the device is configured for Manual Update, the launcher URL will remain set to the version-specific URL after the update. MacOS and Windows Electron Devices: Upon executing an immediate update, the device will update to the latest version. If the device is configured for Manual Update, subsequent automatic update checks at 3:00 AM will be skipped. General Behavior: Upon receiving the <deviceId>device.#.sofwareupdate.configurationupdated PNS message with an Immediate schedule update type, the device will initiate the update process. Resilient Content Fallback: Support Streaming Content Fallback Content Fallback Configuration: This feature ensures continuous content display on your devices by allowing you to configure fallback media (images or videos) that will be displayed. We’ve introduced a new device property, device.fallbackcontent.configuration, to enable resilient content fallback mode. Administrators can use this device property to define fallback content (Media type, image/video content types) at both the device and location levels, and the device will directly stream fallback content from the Appspace server.   The fallback content will be displayed in specific scenarios: device unregistered state, content unavailability, channel initialization timeout, or version upsert timeout. The fallback content will not be displayed when the device is in preview mode.   The device will automatically return to regular content once the issue is resolved. The fallback content settings are automatically cleared when a device is intentionally unregistered.   Learn more: Configure Fallback Content for Appspace Devices Certificate Authority (CA) Certification Support in Android Improvement in platform compatibility now includes support for self-signed certificates on the following devices: Android, AndroidTV, Crestron, Logitech, IAdea (with HTTP support via local host API), and Neat (with HTTP support via local host API). iOS: Build XCode 16 with iOS 18 SDK Improvement has been made to ensure compliance with the App Store distribution submission requirements.  RESOLVED ESCALATIONSAE-10797 – The IADEA player is preventing the Appspace App from reading the local certificate, resulting in an IADEA Tablet registration issue.
