New Features
Health Check
Now, we have empowered you as the Application Developer and Tenant Administrator to improve and enhance your custom applications with our new Health Check tool. By simply running a scan over your tenant, the results will provide you an overview of existing errors, warnings and suggested improvements.
For example, you may have a slow running report that you would like to make faster, by running the scan, then looking at the Reports in the summary to see if there are any list improvements for that particular report.
We will continually add to our scan scope to provide you better information on enhancing your applications.
Select the button Start Scan to initiate a health check
A health check scan can be run on demand which can be found in Administration > Metrics > Health Check. Running the scan will not impact performance, however it may take over an hour to complete on a tenant with complex configurations.
Results of a completed health check
The report in the lower part of this screen lists the results, which include the type of resource, the name of the resource, the application name, severity and a detailed message. Using this information the location and nature of the problem can be identified. For example, the "H Country Report" has an invalid column, which has generated more than one warning message because it is also a relationship.
Collapsible Sections in Survey Editor
Previously, it was difficult to manage surveys with hundreds of questions, but now the survey editor supports collapsing and expanding sections to make editing easier.

Mandatory Attachments and Notes on Survey Answers
Mandatory Attachments
Attachments can now be made mandatory on survey answers. This is especially useful when questions require documentary evidence to support the answer.
Mandatory Notes
It is now possible to require notes on survey answers, which can be used to require justification text for an answer.
Options to set mandatory on notes and attachments
Highlighting of Survey Questions
Questions that require an answer but have not been answered yet will be highlighted for the user. This makes it easy to save progress on a survey, gather the required information and then return later to answer the remaining questions. The highlighting takes into account mandatory attachments and notes, so if a mandatory attachment is missing then the question is considered unanswered for the purpose of highlighting.
