New Enhancements
Pilot Features for Improved Save and Load
Background Save - Overview
A new feature has been added to the product to allow some parts of the Itinerary to be saved in the background in Builder and Costings. This should lead to improved performance on saving an Itinerary. The background save will persist data required by tabs other than Builder and Costings. When control is returned to Builder or Costings after the save returns, the Itinerary can be modified safely.
A message will be displayed in the Itinerary status bar if a background save is taking place. Access to tabs that depend on the completion of a background save will be prevented by display of the spinner in the tab until the background save has completed.
Enabling Background Save
Now, go navigate to Kaptio Settings > User Overrides, and find the checkbox Background Save Allowed. To allow the use of Background Save, click the checkbox to tick it.
This override can be assigned for the whole organisation wide, for a specific profile, or to a specific user. This enables the user to restrict access to the feature.
To check this, the itinerary page layout must be changed to include the new Enabled Features field. When enabled in the layout the user will see a selectable list, including the entry Background Save in the Itinerary Details tab. Select this entry and save the Itinerary.
Any users with the Background Save Allowed checked in their User Override will perform the background save when they save an Itinerary with Background Save in its Enabled Features. If a user does not have Background Save Allowed checked in their user override, then the Itinerary will save as normal.
Faster Save and Load Fix - Overview
Builder was suffering an issue causing more items than necessary to be saved when a change is made. This potentially included the whole itinerary being saved, which may cause poor performance, especially for itineraries with a large number of services.
Additionally, a further performance issue was identified for Builder; making the itinerary available for edit earlier in the load cycle.
Both these changes have been added as Pilot features. By default, they are are disabled, but customers can choose to use them early.
Enabling Improved Save and Load
First, assign users the (Kaptio) Pilot Features permission set. This enables their use, it does not enable the individual features.
To enable the Pilot feature(s), navigate to Kaptio Settings > User Overrides, and find the new field named Pilot Features. Use this field to list the features to be enabled. The entries in the list must be separated with a semi-colon.
This override can be assigned for the whole organisation wide, for a specific profile, or to a specific user. This enables the user to restrict access to the feature(s).
The new Profile features are named;
-
NewBuilderLoad -
NewBuilderSave
For example, to enable both features in this user override, set the Pilot Features field to;
-
NewBuilderLoad;NewBuilderSave
