API Updated to v2.2

API Updated to v2.2

31 July 2018
OfficeMaps 2.2 has been released and includes new features as well as bug fixes. If your OfficeMaps is cloud-hosted, these changes will be available immediately. Simply log out of OfficeMaps, restart your browser and then log in again. If your OfficeMaps is self-hosted then you will need to update your OfficeMaps website following a manual process. Please contact OfficeMaps support if you require assistance with this.

Because there are changes in the login process there may be some important steps that must be taken before and after the update occurs, depending on your hosting scenario. More information about this is available in the following article: 22 July 2018 OfficeMaps v2.2 Pre-release Announcement.

New Features and Improvements

  1. Enhanced Login with MFA support - The login process has been completely rebuilt to streamline the experience for users and administrators. OfficeMaps now supports closer integration with Microsoft login methods and can utilise multi-factor authentication to authorise connections. Administrators now define a default login method which makes connecting faster and more intuitive. 
  2. Bulk Import and Update of People - Users and their related profile information are now better supported through a file import process. Profile data can also be updated for users who already exist in the system. Excel template files are accessible from within OfficeMaps, providing guidance for administrators using this technique. Finally, more operations which can be applied to multiple users are available including the options to Send Password Reset Email and Update Time Zone.
  3. Azure AD support for the Mobile Application - Users can now sign in to the Officemaps mobile application using Microsoft Azure AD.
  4. Desk Allocations can be made by data import - Instead of assigning users to desks and other assets manually it is now possible to perform operations to assign multiple users through the use of an Excel spreadsheet. Excel template files are accessible from within OfficeMaps, providing guidance for administrators using this technique.
  5. Department Links - Links to Departments are now supported. This allows users to directly access and view a specified Department by following a link that is generated as per the links to Site Levels.
  6. Better Account/Payment Visibility - Users can connect to their Customer Portal by using the Subscriptions option within OfficeMaps, making it easier to ensure that payment details are accurate and simplifying the addition of new subscription features as desired.

Bug Fixes

A number of bugs have been resolved including the following:
  1. Updating an asset can cause the editing spinner to not disappear.
  2. Updating an Instance image in Preferences can cause the editing spinner to not disappear.
  3. Operation fails when creating a custom Person field with no Field Type.
  4. QR code generated for Android and iOS does not work for US and UK instances.
  5. Dragging a new object to the map does not make it the selected object.
  6. Searching for an object while in edit mode does not change selected object.
  7. Clicking a pin on a map causes asset labels to be displayed even when preferences are set so they should not be displayed.
  8. Search Widget link causes the page to instantly load OfficeMaps when using Internet Explorer.
  9. Site levels do not display an updated map image unless the page is refreshed.
  10. In Person Add/Update, title and phone extension are not being processed.
  11. Custom date fields for People, Assets and Pins are in the culture neutral DD-MMM-YYYY format.
  12. Opening a person search result from the Intranet widget launches OfficeMaps, but the Location Tree is not visible.
