Portal – Meteor Release

Update04/03/2020

The Meteor Portal release was implemented as planned on the evening of 04/03/2020 with new features for core NHSmail Portal functionality and bug fixes.

 

New Functionality

Reporting roles at local and global organisation level

This has been a new requirement from business to have reporting roles at local and global level. This is to ensure there are administrators local as well as globally who can extract reports on the organisations, they have control of. Local Report Admin role will have access to local organisation reports, and Global Report Admin will have access to platform wide reports. These roles can’t perform any other administrative work performed by local or global administrators. Also, Global Report Admin can be configured by Global/Tenant admin roles only.

Remove unity references from web.config and app.config

We currently have 2 styles for using adding classes to the Unity IOC framework – the newer one is to use the programmatic registration in a file called UnityConfig.cs. The older one has references in the web.config and app.config files. Having both present is confusing and can lead to unnecessary overhead (i.e. where someone has registered a class in web.config for one project but not for others). Hence, this technical debt item aims at removing the older framework completely. Refactoring into the new framework should cover for all the existing objects and their related transactions on the platform.

UpdateAccountStatus sync both locks and unlocks

This feature request aims at updating the frequency of the UpdateAccountStatus Sync job to 15mins rather than 60mins. Number of accounts it can process at time is capped to 2000 per run to avoid making AD too busy.

Hide application accounts in GAL/address book

This feature request aims at hiding application accounts in GAL and PeopleFinder (Portal) by default. This is to ensure application accounts can not be emailed at by internal users. This property can only be unset by global admins if they wish to do so for any specific application account. For all existing application accounts, they will be hidden by CMS from back end.

PODS- Upgrade owner/members limit to 10 for Pharmacy self-registration workflow

This feature request aims at upgrading owners/members limit to 10 for Pharmacy site related Shared Mailboxes created through PODS self-registration workflow. This is going to be applicable for only new registration workflow, for all the ones which are created on the platform they can be managed via Portal to add new owners and members.

Update Mailbox report to have a constant value for hidden phone numbers

This feature request aims at upgrading mailbox report to have a constant value as ‘Hidden’ for all hidden phone numbers. This is inline with the GDPR guidelines and an expansion of existing function where mobile numbers get hidden based on users consent through Portal.

Add export option to O365 Licence report to report usage across all organisations on the platform.

This feature request aims at merging Office 365 licence report to admin reports. After implementing this  feature request the report can be downloaded into csv format by authorised admins.

PODS- Warning message for users trying to register for already registered organisations

This PBI aims at adding a warning message on UI for users trying to register their site as part of PODS self-registration which may have already been registered by another user from their sites. The error message is to be shown when the user picks the organisation from the post code lookup screen based on matches.

Update the footer to reflect current year

This PBI aims at update the footer to reflect the current year. Rather than making manual changes this will just be pulling the year from the server datetime will be ideal. This will ensure the year gets pulled correctly from the server automatically rather than manually.
