Xpand Portal version 4.3.0.0 introduces global filters, modern SMTP OAuth 2.0, enhanced notifications and monitoring, smarter demo management experience, and more!
Xpand Portal 4.3.0.0 continues our commitment to continuous innovation and customer-driven improvement.
This release focuses on smarter configuration, stronger security, and smoother user experience.
From global filters for consistent data access and modern OAuth 2.0 email authentication to the new Notifications Control Panel, improved actions layout customization, and an overhauled Demo Management Portal, version 4.3.0.0 is built to make your portal faster, safer, and more intuitive than ever.Xpand Portal's latest release, version 4.3.0.0, introduces global filters to help ensure consistency across pages, reduce configuration time, and minimize the risk of missing important filters.
When configuring portal pages, setting up data source filters correctly is essential to ensure portal security in terms of access to the right and relevant data for each user. Some filters, such as those that link data to a specific customer, are used across multiple pages throughout the portal, and it’s easy to overlook them when creating new pages or updating existing ones.To make this process simpler and more consistent, this release introduces global filters.
Global filters are data source filters that can be defined once for the entire portal. When you configure a page and select a data source entity that has global filters assigned, those filters are automatically added to the page.
This enhancement helps maintain consistency across pages, reduces configuration time, and minimizes the risk of missing important filters.
Global filters use the GLOBAL tag so that they can be easily identified.
In the global filter settings, you can also manage global filters in the existing configurations by applying or clearing global filters on previously configured pages or page parts.
Xpand Portal’s latest release, version 4.3.0.0, introduces modern SMTP authentication using OAuth 2.0 for stronger, password-free email security and seamless integration.
Sending emails from Xpand Portal is now more secure. In addition to the traditional password-based method, you can now use modern OAuth 2.0 authentication for safer connection. Configure Google or Microsoft Entra ID as your identity provider — or, as part of customization, connect any other provider.
Xpand Portal's latest release, version 4.3.0.0, introduces enhanced notifications processing and monitoring for smarter insights and proactive issue detection.
The notifications functionality in Xpand Portal involves a lot of activity behind the scenes. Background tasks continuously track record changes and process them in batches to generate notifications based on user subscriptions. As the use of notifications continues to grow, we have implemented improvements in the notifications engine to make the portal more resilient under high loads, ensuring faster processing and fewer issues.
- View statistics over a selected period in a timeline chart for a set of background task batches per notification type on:
- Processed change sets
- Generated notifications (web, portal, total)
- Errors
- The time taken to process record changes
- Review detailed logs per notification type on various levels:
- Background task level: for each batch in the selected task type
- Batch level: for the selected batch
- Subscription level: for the selected subscription
- Inspect detailed information about record changes as well as generated notifications for each processed change set.
- Perform a test run to simulate the processing of a change set for troubleshooting purposes
- Reprocess change sets (may be useful after troubleshooting to actually try generating notifications again)
when issues occur with generation of notifications.
Xpand Portal's latest release, version 4.3.0.0, introduces smarter layout customization for more intuitive page interactions.
- Choose the position of the Actions toolbar on the detail page (top or bottom).
- Adjust its horizontal alignment (left, center, or right).
In promoted filters, we added the option to choose the position of the Apply all action (top or bottom) in the filter summary pane as well as revised the behavior of certain promoted filter settings.
Xpand Portal's latest release, version 4.3.0.0, introduces a new Detail page template with instant transition into the edit mode without reloading.
Previously, the page had to reload automatically when creating a new record, which could be frustrating for portal users. The new approach ensures a smoother and faster editing experience.
The page template can be selected in the Info section in the Template field when configuring a page.
Xpand Portal's latest release, version 4.3.0.0, refined UI to improve layout efficiency and user experience on compact displays.
- Adjusted paddings and control sizes across various page parts and UI elements to create a cleaner layout and provide more space for data. For example:
Old version
New version
- Added the ability to choose from three preconfigured designs for the drop zone in the attachment upload area:
- Compact - A short-height drop zone without a button; the entire area is clickable and allows icon customization.
- Standard - A medium-height drop zone with an upload button and no delimiter.
- Large
- A larger, tall-height drop zone with an upload button and a delimiter for
improved visibility.
- Compact - A short-height drop zone without a button; the entire area is clickable and allows icon customization.
- The position of the Expand/Collapse and/or Maximize/Minimize actions is now flexible depending on whether the page container has a title configured. For example:
- Configuration A: The page container has a title. In this case, the Expand/Collapse and/or Maximize/Minimize actions remain on the title level.
- Configuration B: The page container does not have a title. In this case, to avoid having a large empty area, the Expand/Collapse and/or Maximize/Minimize actions are automatically moved to the grid header below.
- Redesigned the saving status — it now has a brand-new look and appears as a centered popup at the top of the page, without taking up space near the page actions.
Xpand Portal's latest release, version 4.3.0.0, updated Demo Environment Management Portal.
The Demo Environment Management Portal (formerly known as Xpand Control Panel) — a standalone website where any registered visitor can create and manage Xpand Portal demo environments — has been completely overhauled!
- Enjoy a fresh new look for a better user experience.
- Benefit from revised configuration that makes environment setup more straightforward.
- Work with demo data powered by Xpand Portal modules, making demo environments more relevant and realistic.
Also, various issues have been fixed throughout Xpand Portal. This release also includes performance enhancements across various areas.
