Special Instructions for this release: N/A

v3.31.0

New Features

  • Audio and Visual Feedback: A new Prompt Box widget available in form authoring allows a form designer to add audio and visual feedback connected to Radio Block widgets. This feature provides a toolset for creating self-guided assessments. See the example in tangy-forms. #3473

  • Client Login Screen Custom HTML: A new app-config.json setting, customLoginMarkup, allows for custom HTML to be added to the login screen. This feature is useful for adding custom branding or additional information to the login screen. As an example:

    "customLoginMarkup": "<div style='text-align: center;'><img src='assets/media/logo.png' alt='logo' style='max-width: 100%;'></div>"
    

  • Improved Data Management:

  • Data Managers now have access to a full workflow to review, edit, and verify data in the Tangerine web server. The Data Manager can click on a record and enter a new screen that allows them to perform actions align with a data collection supervision process.
  • Searching has been improved to allow seaqrching for a specific ID in the imported data. This feature is useful for finding specific records synced to the server when reviewing or editing completed form responses. #3681

Fixes - Client Search Service: exclude archived cases from recent activity - Media library cannot upload photos #3583 - User Profile Import: The process of importing an existing device user now allows for retries and an asynchronous process to download existing records. This fixes an issue cause by timeouts when trying to import a user with a large number of records. #3696 - When T_ONLY_PROCESS_THESE_GROUPS has a list of one or more groups, running reporting-cache-clear will only process the groups in the list

Tangerine Teach

  • Add toggle in Attendence Check for 'late'. A teacher can click through the status of 'present', 'late', or 'absent' for each student.
  • Use studentRegistrationFields to control showing name and surname of student in the student dashboard

Libs and Dependencies - Bump version of tangy-form to v4.31.1 and tangy-form-editor to v7.18.0 for the new Prompt Box widget - Bump version of tangy-form to v4.45.1 for disabling of tangy-gps in server edits

v3.30.1

New Features - Multiple Location Lists can be configured using the Tangerine server web interface -- Create and manage location lists for use in Tangerine forms -- The default location list is used for device and device user assignment. - The app-config.json teachProperties has new properties, "unitDates" and "studentRegistrationFields":

"unitDates": [{"name": "Unidad 1","start": "2023-02-15", "end": "2023-04-23"}, {"name": "Unidad 2","start": "2023-04-24", "end": "2023-06-30"}], 
"studentRegistrationFields": ["student_name", "student_surname", "phone", "classId"]
The unitDates property is used to configure the dates for each unit in the Class module. The studentRegistrationFields property is used to configure the fields from the Student Registration form to be saved in the class attendance, behavior, and score register and CSV's. - The app-config.json teachProperties has a new property, "showAttendanceCalendar", which enables the Attendance Calendar in the Class module when set to true. - Intl/locale support in Class: The class module currently supports the es-gt locale. Add additional locales in class/module.ts:
import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeEsGt from '@angular/common/locales/es-GT';
registerLocaleData(localeEsGt);
- The "Request spreadsheets" CSV output form now has three new forms to view if useAttendanceFeature is set to true in app-config.json: Attendance, Behavior, and Score

v3.30.0

New Features

  • The 'teach' content-set now supports an optional 'Attendance' feature, enabled by adding "useAttendanceFeature": true and "homeUrl": "attendance-dashboard" to app-config.json. It also has a new Class/Attendance menu which enables collection of those values per student, and an 'Attendance' report.
  • The Attendance records generate _id's based on the grade, curriculum, user, and date and time of the record, so that they can be sorted chronologically. See dashboard.service generateSearchableId for details.
  • Class now supports eventFormRedirect to redirect to different url after submit: on-submit="window.eventFormRedirect =/attendance-check"
  • New app-config.json configuration for teach properties: ```js "teachProperties": { "units": ["Unidad 1", "Unidad 2"], "attendancePrimaryThreshold": 80, "attendanceSecondaryThreshold": 70, "scoringPrimaryThreshold": 70, "scoringSecondaryThreshold": 60, "behaviorPrimaryThreshold": 90, "behaviorSecondaryThreshold": 80, "useAttendanceFeature": true } The PrimaryThreshold and SecondaryThreshold values are used to determine the color of the cell in the reports.

  • Updated docker-tangerine-base-image to v3.8.0, which adds the cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing plugin and enables sharing to WhatsApp.

v3.29.0

New Features - Case, Event and Form Archive and Unarchive

We have released an update to Tangerine which allows for the archiving and un-archiving of both events, and forms within events. This is an extension of the already existing functionality by which an entire case can be archived. The purpose of this is to empower data management teams using Tangerine to "clean up" messy cases where extraneous data has been added to a case in error, or by a conflict situation. The purpose of this document is to summarize both the configuration to enable this, and to demonstrate the use of these functions. This functionality will only apply to the web-based version of Tangerine, and will not be available on tablets.

NEW Features - Update triggers for Case API hooks

The Case Service API has a set of functions that are triggered on events. An implementer of Tangerine using the Case module can add these triggers to their case definition json in order to hook into these actions. The variable name to add is the trigger, e.g. onCaseOpen and the value is valid javascript that will run when the trigger is fired. The following changes were made to the hooks:

-- onCaseClose hook will fire when the case is closed by the user by clicking the 'X' in the upper-left corner -- onCaseOpen hook will fire when the case is opened (no change) -- onEventOpen has been changed to fire when a Case Event is clicked on the Case Summary page -- onEventClose has been changed to fire when the Event page is closed -- onEventCreate has been added and will fire when the user creates a new event using the dropdown in the Case Summary page -- onEventFormOpen has been added and will fire when the user opens a form from the Event page -- onEventFormClose has been added and will fire when the user closes a form

v3.26.2

DEPRECATION NOTICE AND UPCOMING MODULE DELETION

The mysql module is deprecated; it will be removed soon from this source code in the v3.28.0 release. We have been using the mysql-js in production for a few months and it is more performant and reliable than the output of the mysql module. We recommend switching to the mysql-js module. See the MySQL-JS Module doc for upgrade and configuration information.

New Features - New group content-set dropdown: PR 3275 - https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/3275 - enables a content-set dropdown and is already in main. Modify the template (content-sets-example.json) and rename to content-sets.json to enable the dropdown.

Fixes - Created Feedback dialog to resolve layout issue on mobile devices PR: #3533 - Fix for Class listing breaks if you archive all classes in Teach; unable to add new classes. Issue: #3491 - Fix for Mysql tables not populating; ER_TOO_BIG_ROWSIZE error in Tangerine logs. Issue: #3488 - Changed location of mysql-js config file to point to the mysql-js directory. Also increased memory parameters in conf.d/config-file.cnf. - If you are using the mysql container and are having errors with very large forms, the new settings in ./server/src/mysql-js/conf.d/config-file.js should help. You will need to completely rebuild the mysql database. See the "Resetting MySQL databases" section in the MySQL-JS Module docs. - Important: If you already have a mysql instance running and don't want to rebuild the mysql database, delete the innodb-page-size=64K line from ./server/src/mysql-js/conf.d/config-file.js; otherwise, your mysql instance will not start. - Fix for CSV Download fails with larger forms. Issue: #3483

Backports

The following feature was backported from v3.24.6 patch release:

  • T_UPLOAD_WITHOUT_UPDATING_REV : A new config.sh setting for use in high-load instances using sync-protocol-1. *** Using this setting COULD CAUSE DATA LOSS. *** This setting uses a different function to process uploads that does not do a GET before the PUT in order to upload a document. Please note that if there is a conflict it try to POST the doc which will create a new id and copy the _id to originalId. If that fails, it will log the error and not upload the document to the server, but still send an 'OK' status to client. The failure would result in data loss.

v3.26.1

NEW Features - New configuration parameter: T_LIMIT_NUMBER_OF_CHANGES - Number of change docs from the Couchdb changes feed queried by reporting-worker (i.e. use as the limit parameter). Default: 200. - Added volume mapping for translations dir in start script. - A new mysql-js module replaces the old mysql module. Documentation is here. The new mysql-js module is faster and more accurate than the old mysql module. It no longer uses an intermediate "group-uuid-mysql" couchdb; instead, it reads from the _changes feed and writes directly to a MySql database. To use the new module, add mysql-js to the T_MODULES list of modules and configure the following settings: - T_MYSQL_CONTAINER_NAME="mysql" # Either the name of the mysql Docker container or the hostname of a mysql server or AWS RDS Mysql instance. - T_MYSQL_USER="admin" # Username for mysql credentials - T_MYSQL_PASSWORD="password" # Password for mysql credentials - T_USE_MYSQL_CONTAINER="true" # If using a Docker container, set to true. This will automatically start a mysql container when using a Tangerine launch script.

Fixes - Student subtest report incorrect for custom logic inputs #3464 - Init paid-worker file when server restarted. - Fix bug in start.sh script for --link option - Rename T_REBUILD_MYSQL_DBS to T_ONLY_PROCESS_THESE_GROUPS.

v3.24.6

NEW Features

  • T_UPLOAD_WITHOUT_UPDATING_REV : A new config.sh setting for use in high-load instances using sync-protocol-1. *** Using this setting COULD CAUSE DATA LOSS. *** This setting uses a different function to process uploads that does not do a GET before the PUT in order to upload a document. Please note that if there is a conflict it will copy the _id to originalId and POST the doc, which will create a new id. If that fails, it will log the error and not upload the document to the server, but still send an 'OK' status to client. The failure would result in data loss.

v3.24.4

NEW Features

  • Ability to add scoring from the interface (24 hours) #1021

Fixes

  • User is forced to stay on form until submission [#3215] - changed current-form-id to incomplete-response-id
  • Bumped tangy-form to 4.37.0 and tangy-form-editor to 7.14.11.

v3.24.1

New Features

  • Feature: New version of mysql module, called mysql-js, which is coded in javascript instead of python. This module exports records much faster than previous version. It should also use much less memory and provide more flexibility in terms of column data types and (eventually) support of different types of databases. Issue: #3047
  • Feature: Enable upload of files created by the tangy-photo-capture and tangy-video-capture inputs. PR: #3354 Note: In order to cause minimal negative impact upon current projects, the default behavior will be to save image files created by the tangy-photo-capture input to the database, instead of saving to a file and uploading. That being said, it is preferable to save as a file and upload. To over-ride this default, set the new mediaFileStorageLocation property to 'file' in the group's app-config.json. The default is 'database'. If this property is not defined, it will save to the database. New groups will be created with mediaFileStorageLocation set to 'file'. Videos created using the tangy-video-capture input will always be uploaded to the server due to their large file size.

Fixes - The default password policy (T_PASSWORD_POLICY in config.sh) has been improved to support most special characters and the T_PASSWORD_RECIPE description has been updated to list the permitted special characters. Issue: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/3299

Example:

(\` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) \ - _ = + < > , . ; : \ | [ ] { } )
  • Enable forms without location to be viewed in visits listing. PR: #3347
  • Fix results with cycle sequences that do not generate a CSV file. Issue: #3249 PR: 3345
  • Enable grids to be hidden based on skip logic #1391
  • Add confirmation to consent form if 'No' selected before the form is closed #3025. Activate this feature using the new property: confirm-no="true".
  • Fix app config doNotOptimize logic PR: #3358
  • Those using the doNotOptimize flag must reverse the logic in the appConfig.sh file when updating to this version

v3.24.0

New Features

  • App user can reduce the batch size as a workaround when experiencing 'out-of-memory' errors with Rewind Sync
  • On occasion Rewind Sync will fail to complete due to 'out-of-memory' issues. The Advanced Sync section of the Sync page now shows a checkbox that when checked will reduce the batch sizes used to perform the Rewind Sync. As noted in the UI, the Rewind Sync will take longer to process however in most cases it will be able to complete the process. The batch size reduction will be reverted once the Rewind Sync is complete or the user unchecks the box.
  • System Admin can scan a QR code to download an APK or PWA release
  • When deploying Tangerine, it can be a long process to download and install the APK or PWA on multiple devices. To improve the deployment process, the Release tables now show a QR code that when scanned will download the release directly to a new device without the need to type in the URL.
  • Improvements to Sync: In case of false positives on push, keep pushing until nothing is pushed
  • Client Case Service API:
  • Case Event and Event Form (De)activation 3334
    • activateCaseEvent: Marks a Case Event as 'active' and shows it in the Case Event list
    • deactivateCaseEvent: Marks a Case Event as 'inactive' and hides it in the Case Event list
    • activateEventForm: Marks an Event Form as 'active' and shows it in the Event Form list
    • deactivateEventForm: Marks an Event Form as 'inactive' and hides it in the Event Form list
  • Editor Case Service API:
  • Add useful APIs used in the client Case Service API to the editor Case Service API 3325
  • Option to sync a case before viewing it 3237
  • Support for showing photo and signatures in Issues

Fixes

  • Fix after update messaging and async issues

Translations - Include Vietnamese translations

Deprecations - Comparison Sync has been removed from this release to reduce confusion reported by Tangerine users. The Rewind Sync functionality out-performs Comparison Sync and is recommended for use when needed on all deployments.

v3.23.1

Fixes

  • Fixed bug in sync on PWA's. Also, do note that video file upload using the new tangy-form input <tangy-video-capture> only works for APKs Issue: [#3338] https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/3338
  • Fixed tangy-form-editor to 7.14.2 to fix bug with input widget for tangy-keyboard-input (postfix field).

v3.21.0

Developers:Good to Know

  • The master branch has been moved to the main branch. No development will happen on the master branch, which has been deleted. Also, please note the updates to the Release Workflow

Fixes

  • Prevent unnecessary CaseService saves by comparing hashes #3155
  • Prevent loss of case changes when leaving incomplete form by always saving the case #3156
  • Prevent on-submit of a form running in one Case from being able to run in another case by navigating quickly to another Case. We inject T and case (caseService) variables into Tangy Form (formPlayer) from EventFormComponent. This will add instanceFrom: 'EventFormComponent' to the caseService (and also assigns ['instanceFrom'] = 'EventComponent' in EventComponent). Note that if you have any use of window.T or window.caseService, you will need to make them T and caseService to take advantage of this fix. Commit: 716bc5e9
  • Bump tangy-form to v4.29.1 and tangy-form-editor to v7.10.2 Commit: a3f785310

New Features

  • Add support for running an SSL frontend. Issue: #3147
  • Make CORS settings configurable by T_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS Commit: 1f448f7e
  • Add ability to generate CSV datasets for all groups and all forms. This feature provides the new generate-csv-datasets command and csvDataSets route. #3149
  • Add support for Tangy Form's useShrinker flag, implemented as AppConfig.saveLessFormData. This is an experimental mode in Tangy Form that only captures the properties of inputs that have changed from their original state in the form. This should lead to smaller formResponses and quicker sync data transfers. Commit: 35a05c2b, Tangy-form pull: Add support for shrinking form responses #209

v3.20.3

Fixes

  • Editing Timed Grids on Forms: Capture at item and Duration are compared as strings leading to unexpected validation scenarios #3130
  • Fix CORs usage in Tangerine APIs when outside applications are using credentials. #3132
  • When Tangerine creates CouchDB users for Sync, DB Administration, and Reporting, restrict that users access to the databases for the group they are assigned. This is a tightening of security to support use cases where users of groups on the same server should be restricted from accessing other groups data on the same server when Sync Protocol 2 and Database Administrator features are being used. #3118
  • Data Manager views in CSV which cycle sequence was used in each form response #3128.
  • Fix access denied message when using Tangerine APIs #3133
  • Make status translateable on Tangerine Teach Task Report. #3089
  • When editing Timed Grids on Forms, "Capture at Time" and "Duration" are compared as strings leading to unexpected validation scenarios. #3130
  • Fix database export when using Sync Protocol 1 by using the correct database names #3120

Upgrade notice

If your project was already using the Data Conflicts tools that were installed manually, you must remove those in order to prevent a conflict with the Database Conflicts tool that is now automatically installed in Tangerine -> Deploy -> Database Conflicts. Reset the group-uuid/editor directory with the content-sets/case-module/editor components or the content-sets/case-module-starter/editor/index.html file.

v3.20.0

Fixes

  • Improve rendering of Device listing. PR: #2924 Note that you must run the update or else the Device view will fail.
  • Converted print form view as a single table #2927
  • Improvements to restoring a database from a backup PR: #2938
  • On server group's security page, fix link to adding roles and show loading screen when saving role.
  • Data outputs for CSV's now include the 'archived' property. #2988
  • This one goes out to the coders: Prevent CaseService singleton injection into Case related components #2948. This is an important change in how cases are handled - they are no longer singletons. If you are developing scripts for a form and there are problems accessing T.case, see the comments in #2948 for a solution.

New Features

  • New CSVs related to Cases now available for Case Participants, Case Events, and Case Event Forms. https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2908
  • Online Survey user is warned if they are using an unsupported web browser (Internet Explorer). https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/3001
  • Data Manager generates CSV with specific columns using CSV Templates.
  • Data Manager restores Case Event stuck in Conflict Revision. Add the can_restore_conflict_event permission to the users' role(s) to enable. #2949
  • Enable Data Conflict Manager for groups. 2997 This is based on the couchdb-conflict-manager web component.
  • In Offline App, when submitting a form, opening a case, creating a case, etc., a new loading screen is shown. #3000
  • In Online Survey, new support for switching language without interrupting the survey. #2643
  • For PWA's, there is a new device permissions step in device setup to guarantee persistent storage #3002
  • The login screen may now have custom markup. #2979
  • Statistical files are now available in Stata .do format for corresponding forms #2971
  • The new usePouchDbLastSequenceTracking property in app-config.json and settings page enables the use of PouchDB's native last sequence tracking support when syncing. #2999
  • The new encryptionPlugin:'CryptoPouch' property in app-config.json enables testing of the CryptoPouch extension currently in development. #2998 Please note that this feature is not yet ready for deployment. There are now three different possible storage configurations for Tangerine:
  • "encryptionPlugin":"CryptoPouch" - Configures the app to use CryptoPouch, which encrypts documents in the app's indexedb for storage.
  • "turnOffAppLevelEncryption": true - Configures the app without encryption, using the app's indexedb for storage instead of sqlite/sqlCypher.
  • "encryptionPlugin":"SqlCipher" - or without any additional configuration (SqlCipher is the default configuration.) - Configures the app to use SqlCipher, which encrypts documents in an external sqlLite database for storage.
  • We have changed how we determine which storage engine is being used. In the past we exposed a window['turnOffAppLevelEncryption'] global variable based on the same flag in app-config.json; however, now we are determining in app-init.ts which engine is running and exposing either window['cryptoPouchRunning'] or window['sqlCipherRunning'] to indicate which engine is running. It is important to note that even the app is configured with encryptionPlugin:'CryptoPouch' in app-config.json, the app may have been installed without that setting and is actually running sqlCypher. This is why it is important to observe if either window['cryptoPouchRunning'] or window['sqlCipherRunning'] is set.

Backports/Good to Know

When we add new features or fix issues in patch releases of Tangerine, those code changes usually get added automatically to any new releases of Tangerine. To make sure users of new releases are aware of those changes, we will occasionally mention them in this section in case they have missed them in the Changelog for the corresponding earlier release. Please note that when you install or upgrade a new Tangerine release, please review the Changelog for any changes in minor or patch releases.

  • Server admin can configure regex-based password policy for Editor. Instructions in the PR: #2858 Issue: #2844
  • Show loading screen in more places that typically hang such as the Case loading screen, issue loading, issue commenting, and many other places when working with Issues on the sever. (demo: https://youtu.be/RkoUN41jqr4)
  • Enhancements to support for archiving cases:
  • Added ability to search archived cases. Issue: #2977 Important : Run docker exec -it tangerine /tangerine/server/src/upgrade/v3.19.3.js to enable searching archived cases.
  • Added archive/unarchive Case functionality and permission for "can delete" #2954
  • Added backup and restore feature for Tangerine databases using device encryption. Increase the appConfig.json parameter dbBackupSplitNumberFiles (default: 200) to speed up the backup/restore process if your database is large. You may also change that parameter in the Export Backup user interface. Updated docs: Restoring from a Backup PR: #2910
  • Updates to tangy-form lib to 4.25.18 (Changelog), which provides:
  • Support for changing a page content's language and number system without reloading the page.
  • A fix for photo-capture so that it de-activates the camera when going to the next page or leaving a form. Also a new feature for configuring compression
  • Implemented a new 'before-submit' event to tangy-form in order to listen to events before the 'submit' event is dispatched.
  • A fix for User defined Cycle Sequences.
  • Important If your site uses csvReplacementCharacters to support search and replace configuration for CSV output, which was released v3.18.2, you must change the configuration string. See issue #2804 for information about the new schema.
  • Feature: Editor User downloads CSVs for multiple forms as a set Issue: #2768 PR:#2777
  • Feature: Remove configurable characters from CSV output #2787.

v3.19.0

New Features

  1. Data Manager requests and downloads CSVs for multiple forms as a set. When logged into the server and in a group, you will now find a "Download CSV Data Set" menu item under "Data". From there you can view all of the CSV Data Sets you have generated in the past, the status of wether or not they have finished generating, a link to download them, and other meta data. Click the "New Data Set" button and you will be able to select any number of forms to generate CSVs for, data for all time or a specific month, and wether or not to exclude PII. This is especially useful for generating CSVs that take longer to generate than the automatic logout built into the server. You may request a CSV Data Set, log out, and then log back in later to check in on the status and download it. A Server Administrator can also configure cron with a generate-csv-data-set command to generate a data set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, handy for situations where you want CSVs to automatically generate on the weekend and then download them on Monday. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2768) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2777)
  2. Data Manager archives a Case to remove it from reporting output and Devices. This adds an "archive" button on Cases that flags all related Form Responses as archived and removes them from CSV output and Search on Devices. This uses the new T.case.archive() API which adds an 'archived' flag for those docs and saves a minimal version of the doc with enough data to be indexed on the server. Search on client and server CSV output are modified to filter archived docs. When viewing cases in Editor, displays "Archived" when viewing an archived case. When client syncs, it deletes any docs with the 'archived' flag and sets deletedArchivedDocs In the replicationStatus log. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2843) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2776)
  3. Devices Manager reconfigures claimed Device sync settings and selects multiple Sync Locations for a Device. Details: To change a Device's sync settings currently requires a reinstall of the app on the Device and setting up all the accounts again. This PR will allow system admins to change the sync settings for a Device which then triggers on next sync a Rewind Push, database delete, then a first pull with the new sync settings. Subsequent syncs then use the new sync settings. This PR also refactors the Create and Edit forms for Devices on the server so that multiple sync locations can be added. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2867) (PR: #2782)
  4. Device Manager estimates how large an initial sync will be given selected sync settings. When setting up sync settings for a Device, it is useful to know how many documents will need to be downloaded given which forms are configured for syncing down and the locations assigned. There is now a "calculate down-sync size" button at the bottom of Device edit/creation forms that when pressed will tally up the documents needing to be down synced given the device sync settings. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2845) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2818)
  5. Devices Manager monitors for Devices close to filling up disk space. Devices now report how much free space they have to the server after a sync. This can be monitored on the Deploy > Devices list. When a Device reports having less than 1GB free storage, a warning is shown on the Devices list. (Ticket: 2779) (PR: 2795)
  6. Server User views the version of Tangerine installed. Any user on the server can now view the version of Tangerine installed by going to Help menu in the left nav bar. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2846) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2794)
  7. Database Consumer accesses Tangerine MySQL databases via web browser. Users of Tangerine's MySQL database sometimes are not allowed to install tools such as MySQL Workbench on their work computers. This PR makes starting PHPmyAdmin (a mysql viewer) as a web service a configuration option in Tangerine so no one has to install software on their computer to access Tangerine MySQL. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2847) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2793)
  8. Data Collector creates Account on Device and associates with any User Profile in Group (ignoring Device assignment/sync settings). By default, when a Data Collector creates an Account on Device, they can only associate with User Profiles that are assigned to the same location as the Device's Assigned Location. Add "disableDeviceUserFilteringByAssignment":true to the app-config.json for the group and this restriction will be removed. Tablets will also sync all User Profiles, ignoring the Device's configured Sync Location(s). (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2848) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2792)
  9. Form Developer writes code that can access Case's related Location metadata without writing asynchronous code. When working synchronously in forms, we don't currently have access to the related Location Node data without loading the Location List async and using T.case.case.location to search the hierarchy for the node we want. This PR loads all related Location Nodes into memory at T.case.location when the context of a Case is set. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2849) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2791)
  10. Server Administrator configures substitutions for CSV output. This feature allows a Server Administrator to update the group's configuration in the app database to contains Regex string replacements for CSV output. This can be handy in situations where Data Analysts are having trouble parsing CSV data that contains line breaks and commas. An example configuration to remove line breaks and commas from data would be "csvReplacementCharacters": [{"search": ",", "replace": "|"}, {"search": "\n", "replace": "___"}]. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2787) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2788)
  11. Server Administrator configures Tangerine to not auto-commit in groups' data directories to preserver manually managed git content repositories. When using git to manage group content in a git flow like manner, the automatic commit can result in unnintentional commits. System Administrators can now turn off this auto-commit by configuring Tangerine's config.sh with T_AUTO_COMMIT="false". If set to true also include the frequency T_AUTO_COMMIT_FREQUENCY="60000" (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2614) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2748)
  12. Data Collector proposes change to a Form on a Case. The issues feature that has been available on the server is now optionally also available on Devices by "allowCreationOfIssues": true to client/app-config.json for the group you want this enabled. Most of the features of Issues you are familiar with from the server are there, except for merging proposals which is not allowed. Issues from Devices are uploaded to the server where proposals can be merged by a Data Manager. We also streamlined the Issue creation and proposal process by skipping the page to fill out an issue title/description, and then forward them directly to creating a proposal. To aid in issue titles/descriptions that make sense, Content Developers can now add templateIssueTitle and templateIssueDescription to Case Definition files. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2850) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2330) (Demo Video)
  13. Data Manager updates Issue Title and Issue Description Data Managers will now find a metadata tab on an Issue where they can update the Title, Description, and new "Send to" settings. (Issue: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2851) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2330)
  14. Data Manager sends an Issue to all Devices in Sync Area or specific Device When create/configuring an Issue, Data Managers now have the option to send an Issue to a specific location in a Sync Area, or send it to a specific Device by Device ID. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2854) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2330)
  15. Forms Developer defines custom logic for Device's search of Cases and Forms In some cases there are situations where the standard variables for searching do not cover all things we want searched, or there is a compound field we want to be searched. Adding a client/custom-search.js file allows the Forms Developer to hook into the map function used to generate the search index. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2852) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2740)
  16. Data Manager views list of Issues related to Case When viewing a Case on the server, the first screen when opened will now show a list of related Issues. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2723) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2573)
  17. Form Developer uses API to override Device User based access to Event Forms on a per Case Event basis Currently we can configure in a Case Definition the operation permissions on all instances of an Event Form. This change allows a Form Developer to write logic that would control those permissions on a per Event Form basis by setting the same permissions property on the Event Form itself. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2624) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2660)
  18. Form Developer configures Devices to skip optimization of database views not in use on Device. Some projects relying heavily on a custom app will find they do not use all of the standard Tangerine database views, thus they can be skipped during the data optimization phase after a sync. In app-config.json, you can add a new doNotOptimize property with a value as an array of views to skip. To discover what views your app is indexing, see the console logs from a device during the optimization phase. You may discover some views you can add to doNotOptimize to speed up that optmization process. (Commit: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/commit/4b8864470c1cad98e43152dd6bb3c91ee3e576a6)
  19. System Administrator batch imports all forms from a Tangerine v2 group into a Tangerine v3 group Tangerine v3 now has a script that will import all v2 group forms into a v3 group without having to do each form individually. (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2857) (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2584)

Fixes

  1. Issue created programatically in on-submit says we must rebase but no button to rebase #2785 Cases that have used the T.case.createIssue() API in forms to create Issues on the current form have recently found the resulting issues are broken. This is due to a change in when the Form Response is associated with the case (later than when T.case.createIssue() is called in a form's on-submit). To remedy this, we've added a new T.case.queueIssueForCreation("Some label", "Some comment") API. If you are using T.case.createIssue(), immediately upgrade and replace its usage with T.case.queueIssueForCreation(). (Ticket: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2785) (Example: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/blob/next/content-sets/case-module/client/test-issues-created-programatically-on-client/form.html#L5)
  2. Using a simpler reverse sort for device status (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2775)
  3. Increase likelihood that migration of data to mysql will recover where it left off if server restarts. (PR: https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/pull/2773)

Fixes

  • Important If your site uses csvReplacementCharacters to support search and replace configuration for CSV output, which was released v3.18.2, you must change the configuration string. See issue #2804 for information about the new schema.
  • Backported a fix from the v3.19.0 branch for "Issue created programmatically in on-submit says we must rebase but no button to rebase #2785"
  • Description: Cases that have used the T.case.createIssue() API in forms to create Issues on the current form have recently found the resulting issues are broken. This is due to a change in when the Form Response is associated with the case (later than when T.case.createIssue() is called in a form's on-submit). To remedy this, we've added a new T.case.queueIssueForCreation("Some label", "Some comment") API. If you are using T.case.createIssue(), immediately upgrade and replace its usage with T.case.queueIssueForCreation().

v3.17.4

  • Enables support for reducing the number of documents processed in the changed feed when syncing using the 'changes_batch_size' property in app-config.json. This new setting will help sites that experience crashes when syncing or indexing documents. Using this setting will slow sync times. Default is 50. During recent tests, the following settings have been successful in syncing a location with over 12,700 docs that was experiencing crashes:
  • "batchSize": 50
  • "writeBatchSize": 50
  • "changes_batch_size": 20

Please do note that these particular settings do make sync very slow - especially for initial device sync. - Removed selector from push sync - was causing a crash on large databases. Using a filter instead in the push syncOptions to exclude '_design' docs from being pushed from the client. - Adds "Encryption Level" column to the Devices Listing, which shows if the device is running 'OS' encryption or 'in-app' encryption. - 'OS' encryption: Encryption provided by the device operating system; typically this is File-based (Android 10) or Full-disk encryption (Android 5 - 9). - 'in-app' encryption: Database is encrypted by Tangerine.

v3.16.4

New Features

  • Warning about data sync: Any site that upgraded to v3.16.2 is at risk of having records stay on the tablet unless they upgrade to v3.16.3 or v3.16.4. After upgrading to v3.16.4, go to the Online Sync feature and click the new 'Advanced Options' panel. There are two new options for sync - Comparison Sync and Rewind Sync. Comparison sync enables the Sync feature to compare all document id's on the local device with the server and uploads any missing documents. Rewind Sync resets the sync "placeholder" to the beginning, ensuring that all docs are synced. It doesn't actually re-upload all docs; it instead checks that all docs have been uploaded. It is more thorough than Comparison Sync. Both of the features are for special cases and should not be used routinely. Issue: #2623

There are two settings that can be configured for Comparison sync: - compareLimit (default: 150) - Document id's must be collected from both the tablet and server in order to calculate what documents need to be sync'd to the server. This setting limits the number of docs queried in each batch. - batchSize (default: 200) - Number of docs per batch when pushing documents to the server. This same configuration setting is used for normal sync, so please take care when making changes to it.

This new "Comparison" option is very new and may have rough edges. In our experience, if the app crashes while using it, re-open the app and try again; chances are that it will work. If it consistently fails, lower the value for app-config.json's compareLimit property.

v3.16.3

New Features

  • Warning about data sync: Any site that upgraded to v3.16.2 is at risk of having records stay on the tablet unless they upgrade to v3.16.3. After upgrading to v3.16.3, run the new "Push all docs to the server" feature available from the Admin Configuration menu item. This feature resets push sync to the beginning, ensuring that all docs are pushed. It doesn't actually re-upload all docs; it instead checks that all docs have been uploaded.

  • Added "Push all docs to the server" feature to the Admin Configuration menu item.

  • Added Operating System and Browser Version to Device listing.

Fixes - Data collected after first registering and after updates fails to upload. Issue: #2623

v3.16.0

New Features

  • Warning about data sync: If you have implementations that have multiple tablets syncing from the same location, some docs may not be on all tablets due to issues with earlier versions of sync. This release resolves that particular issue and provides ways to ensure that all tablets share the same data. We have implemented several ways to rectify and understand potential data inconsistencies across tablets in the field:
  • After updating the server to 3.16.0 and after updating and syncing the clients, the Device dashboard will now display the number of docs on each tablet ("All Docs on Tablet") and the number of docs according to the device's Location configuration ("Form Responses on Tablet for Location").

    • Depending on the Configure/Sync settings, the "All Docs on Tablet" count may be close, but not exactly the same, since not all forms may be synced to the tablets.
    • The "Form Responses on Tablet for Location" count should be the same for all tablets that share the same location configuration. Please note that "Form Responses on Tablet for Location" count needs to be activated by adding "calculateLocalDocsForLocation": true to app-config.json; also note that it has not been widely tested and may be unstable. (If you activate this feature, you may also add "findSelectorLimit" to modify how many batches are used to calculate this value. Default is 200. Lower is safer but slower.)

    These data points may help in identifying data inconsistencies. Remember - only after updating and syncing the tablets, will these new doc counts be populated with data in the Devices listing. Making a note of the document counts per tablet will help establish a baseline. - Next step would be to run the new "Force Full Sync" feature, which is implemented in two ways: - If you add the new "forceFullSync" : true setting in the group's app-config.json, the client will perform a full sync upon the next update. Since this takes time and Internet bandwidth, you may wish to notify users before enabling this feature. - When logging in as "admin" user on the client tablet, a new menu item called "Admin Configuration" will be visible below the "Settings" item. This new item enables manual operation of the "Force Full Sync" feature. It is labeled "Pull all docs from the server" in the user interface. - You may adjust the settings for how many documents "Force Full Sync" downloads at a time by adjusting the initialBatchSize property in app-config.json. The default is 1000 documents per batch. This setting is also used when performing the initial load of documents on a tablet. - Tangerine Release Archives: Every Tangerine APK or PWA release is saved and tagged. If your site is configured for archives (which is the default), you may download previous Android releases. PR: #2567 - A "Description" field has been added to the Devices listing to faciliate identification of devices or groups of devices.
    - Beta Release Mysql module: Data sync'd to Tangerine can be output to a MySQL database. Warning: This should not yet be deployed on a production server; the code for this feature is still in development. We recommend creating a separate server for the Tangerine/MySQL installation and replicate data from the production server to the Tangerine server that would provide the MySQL service. Docs: docs/system-administrator/mysql-module.md PR: #2531 - Devices listing offers more information about the sync process, including version, errors, and sync duration.

Fixes - Changes to the sync code should improve sync stability and speed. #2592 You may configure certain sync properties: - initialBatchSize = (default: 1000) Number of documents downloaded in the first sync when setting up a device. - batchSize (default: 200) - Number of documents downloaded upon each subsequent sync. - writeBatchSize = (default: 50) - Number of documents written to the tablet during each sync batch. - Updated tangy-form-editor to v7.6.4, which improves functionality of duplicate entire section. PR: #173 - Updates the Schedule View to use date-carousel 5.2.0 which provides unix timestamps instead of date strings. #2589 - Upgrade tangy-form to fix issue causing on-open of first items to not run when proposing changes in an Issue. - Deactivate App.checkStorageUsage if using Sync Protocol 2. This was not compatible and should not run. - Allow projects to disable GPS warming to save on battery with disableGpsWarming in app-config.json. - Add missing import of editor/custom-scripts.js when using editor so Data Dashboards can have imported JS files.

v3.15.8

  • New Sync code reduces the number of network requests by disabling server checkpoints. It also supports three new app-config.json options to configure sync parameters that adjust data download size, how much data is written to the local database each batch, and initial data download:
  • batchSize: Number of docs to pull from the server per batch. Increasing this setting will decrease the number of network requests to the server when doing a sync pull. Default: 200
  • writeBatchSize: How many docs to write to the database at a time. If the database crashes, decreasing this option could be helpful. Default: 50
  • useCachedDbDumps: Enables caching of the group database to a file for a single download to the client upon initial device setup. This is an experimental feature therefore it is not enabled by default. (Some server code is also currently disabled.) Those files are stored at data/groups/groupName/client/dbDumpFiles. At this point, you must delete the dbDumpFiles if you wish to update the data in the initial device load. 2560
  • Disable the v3.15.0 update from groups that use sync-protocol 1.
  • Added 2021 to the report year.
  • Added simple network statistics to the device replicationStatus, which is posted after every sync.

v3.15.6

New Features and Fixes - New 'wakelock' feature for sync: When using the sync feature, the screen should not go to sleep or dim, enabling the sync process to proceed. This is especially useful during long sync processes. When you navigate to another page once Sync is complete, the wakeLock feature is disabled. - The Devices listing has a new option, "View Sync Log", which enables viewing status of the most recent replication, when available.
- Added error messages when internet access drops during a sync. #2540 - Batch size for sync is configurable via pullSyncOptions and pushSyncOptions variable in a group's app-config.json. Default is 200. If the value is set too high, the application will crash.

v3.15.5

Fixes - In CSV output, if a section on a form is opened and then the later skipped, inputs on that skipped section will appear in CSV output as skipped. However, if the section is never opened, the inputs would show up in the CSV as blank values. This fix ensures that these remaining inputs are marked as skipped in CSV output. - Fix sync from breaking when syncing with a group with no data yet. - Improve messaging during sync by removing floating change counts and showing the total number of docs in the database after sync.

v3.15.3

Fixes - After a large sync in sync protocol 2, improve overall app performance by indexing database queries. Because this may cause a long sync for projects not using this, you can set indexViewsOnlyOnFirstSync in app-config.json to true if you want to allow existing tables to avoid this long sync to catch up on views. - Add missing custom-scripts.js and custom-styles.css files to Editor app. We also add editor and client ID's to the body tag of the two app respectively. - Reduce database merge conflicts by preventing form responses from saving after completed. Prior to this version, on two tablets (or on a tablet and the server) if you opened the same form response and opened an item to inspect, it would cause a save on both tablets resulting in an unnesessary merge conflict. - New T.case.getCaseHistory(caseId) function for getting the history of save for a Case. Returns an array of JSON patches in RFC6902 format. Open a Case and run await T.case.getCaseHistory() in the console and it will pick up on the context. - New T.case.getEventFormHistory(caseId, caseEventId, eventFormId) function for getting the history of save for a form response in a Case. Returns an array of JSON patches in RFC6902 format. Open a Case, a Case Event, then an Event Form and run await T.case.getEventFormHistory() in the console and it will pick up on the context. - New opt-in app-config.json setting attachHistoryToDocs for enabling upload all history of Case and Event Form edits on a Tablet up to the Server. Without this setting on, the server only sees the history starting from time of upload. Note this has an impact on upload size of at least doubling it when turned on.

Important configuration notice - Set indexViewsOnlyOnFirstSync in app-config.json to true if you want to allow existing tables to avoid this long sync to catch up on views.

  • New Features and fixes
  • Editor User searches Cases by keyword #2416 - This feature enables searching by any of the variables assigned in searchSettings/variablesToIndex in forms.json.
  • Transfer Participant between Cases #2419. Find Participant UI: #2439.
  • Update to Content Set 2.1 adds a package.json and build step to pin lib versions and add a build step for custom-scripts.
  • Added error message to Updates error alert. ccc1864
  • New "Release Online Survey" menu on Server allows you to release a single form for data collection online. Note the original "Deploy -> Release" menu item has been moved to "Deploy -> Release Offline App".
  • Fixed issue where "Tangy Gate" form element could be added in Editor but would not appear on Tablets.
  • Support for new "" element that brings a Partial Date style form element with support for the Ethiopian Calendar.
  • If using Sync Protocol 2, the first sync when registering a Device is now faster in cases where there is a lot of data already collected. Also the blank User Profile created for the Admin user on a device is no longer uploaded resulting in less noise in the Device Users list.

  • Important deprecation notice

  • The groupName property, once used in app-config.json, is no longer supported in recent releases of Tangerine. The groupId property is used in its place. Groups that use groupName will not be able to sync; they must migrate to groupId. This issue affects groups using sync-protocol-1. #2447
  • When form responses are unlocked in a Data Issue, the on-submit hook no longer runs. If you need logic to run, use the new on-resubmit hook.
  • If using Sync Protocol 2, the "Auto Merge" feature that tries to fix database conflicts is now off by default and database conflicts will not be logged as Issues. If you would like to keep it on, set "autoMergeConflicts": true in your group's client/app-config.json file. However be aware that turning this on will result in inconsistent results (https://github.com/Tangerine-Community/Tangerine/issues/2484). Monitoring for database conflicts can now be done by monitoring the syncConflicts view via CouchDB Fauxton.

  • Improve first sync performance: On first sync, skip push but set the last push variable to whatever we left on after the first pull.
  • Improve in-form API parity between context of a Case and context of an Issue proposal. Sets case context in more scenarious inside of Issue Form proposals.
  • Prevent form crashes and unintentional logic by adding the new T.case.isIssueContext() API for detecting if in the Issue context in a form.

v3.14.1

This is identical to v3.14.0 but was released to fix a problem with tangerine-preview v3.14.0 on npm.

v3.14.0

  • New Features and fixes for all Tangerine
  • Usability Improvement for Device Registration: Added "Number of devices to generate" field to Device Registration. Submitting a single form to add multiple devices to a group should simplify large deployments. #2402
  • Important bugfix for sync issue in poor network situations: If you currently have an active 3.13 deployment, run the 3.14 update on client to make sure all data is sync'd to the server. #2399
  • Automatic conflict resolution on client: Basic support for automatic merges of conflicts in EventForms. #2272 Documentation for testing conflicts
  • Form version support: Enables use of previous form versions for form display. #2365 Support for versioning is not yet implemented in the Editor; however, there is documentation on how to implement form versions manually.
  • User Interface updates: The 4.19.0 tangy-form lib version features the following fixes:
    • Required Field Asterisk (*) does not align with the question text #2363
    • Error Text and Warning Text have the same style - this is confusing for users #2364
  • Setting packageName in app-config.json causes app to crash: The docker-tangerine-base-image update to 3.7.0 improves Android and Cordova lib dependencies, and the release-apk code now rebuilds the Android code whenever an APK is built. #2366

v3.13.0

  • New Features and fixes for all Tangerine
  • Download Location List as CSV: You can now download a location list as a CSV. If you prefer editing a Location List via something like Excel, this makes editing an existing location list easier, which can then be imported when done editing in Excel. Note: Advise careful use of this export feature until #2336 is fixed. #2107
  • Duplicate a Section:When editing a form, you can now easily duplicate an entire section with the "duplicate section" button. #2109. Warning - this feature does not handle complex objects such as tangy checkbox groups well; be sure to check the code it generates. This issue will be addressed in the next 3.13 point release.
  • Group Data Dashboard in Editor: "Dashboard" is now a menu item available in a Group under the Data menu. This link can be enabled by group role (disabled by default). When on the Dashboard page, it displays a customizable dashboard for that specific group. Customizing Dashboards currently requires HTML and Javascript knowledge but in the future we may build a configurator for Dashboards.
  • More Menu Permissions in Editor:Add additional Editor permissions to completely cover menu level access in a group
  • Automatic conflict resolution: After a sync pull on client, detects type of conflict and resolves it. View status of merges in the Issues feature. #1763
  • Fix extending session in Editor - When prompted to extend session shows up session is not really extended. #2266
  • New Features and Fixes for Case Module
  • Client "Issues" feature: "Issues" previously could only be viewed using Editor. With this release, Issues can now be accessed from Client in a Case module enabled Group via the top level "Issues" tab. This tab can be disabled adding or modifying "showIssues": false, to app-config.json. Note that only issues created targeting the "CLIENT" context (See CaseService API documentation) will show up in the Client "Issues" tab.
  • Easier searching on Client: Previously on Client when searching for "Facility 8" you would need to type exactly "Facility 8". Now search is case insensitive and you may type "facility 8" to match against "Facility 8".
  • T.case.setEventWindow API fix: Previously when setting an Event window, the end time for the window was mistakenly ignored and set to the start time. This is now fixed. #2304
  • New Features for Sync Protocol 2 Module
  • Export device sheets: When registering Devices, we now offer an option to print "Device Sheets". Device Sheets include the registration codes for a Device and also some human readable metadata. Each row can also be used as a label for each device that can be fastened to a device using affordable clear packing tape. #2269
  • Restore Backup on Android Tablet: Backups can now be restored. Restore is an option when first opening a freshly installed APK. #2127
  • Better support for working on the same Case on two devices: When working offline on the same Case on two Devices, after a sync, it may seem like the changes on one Tablet have gone missing for some time until the "database conflicts" are resolved using the CouchDB Futon interface on the server. Starting in v3.13.0 we'll start to employ algorithms for automatically merging to speed up the process of resolving these database conflicts.
  • Notes for System Administrators
  • After upgrade, you will no longer find group content directories in ./data/client/content/groups/, they will be in ./data/groups/. Inside each group's directory you will also find they have been split into a client and editor directory. All previous content will now be in the client directory while you may place content for the Group's Data Dashboard in the editor folder.

Server upgrade instructions:

This update changes the path to group content to /tangerine/groups/${groupId}/client. If your group is managing content via a Github/cron integration, you will need to change the path to content in its cron job. Change GROUP-UUID to your group id in the following command:

cd /home/ubuntu/tangerine/data/groups/GROUP-UUID/client && GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /root/.ssh/arc-forms-dev' git pull origin master && git add . && git commit -m 'auto-commit' && GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /root/.ssh/arc-forms-dev' git push origin master

The update:

# Fetch the updates.
cd tangerine
git fetch origin
git checkout v3.13.0
# Now you are ready to start the server.
./start.sh v3.13.0
# Run upgrade
docker exec -it tangerine /tangerine/server/src/upgrade/v3.13.0.js
# Add or modify `"showIssues": false,` to the group's app-config.json if you do not want to display the Issues tab in client.
# Remove Tangerine's previous version Docker Image.

v3.8.0

v3.8.0 is a big and exciting release! To accomodate the long list of changes, we split up this round of release notes into sections: General, Sync Protocol 2 Module, and Case Module, and Developer notes.

General

The following are features and fixes that are coming to all Tangerine installs. With this release comes an improved Editor UI experience, a faster device setup process, new form features, and much more.

Group tabs are now in 4 sections Breadcrumbs allows you to navigate back up deeply nested areas
group page form editing
  • Editor User browses Group UI by nested categories (as opposed to flat list) #1880
  • Device Administrator is prompted to authorize permissions on first app load #1896
  • Data Collector defines password according to policy #1867
  • Data Collector views device info such as Device ID, Assigned Location, Server URL, Group Name, and Release Channel. #1834
  • Data Collector in checkboxes chooses "none of the above", then other options are unselected #1822
  • Editor distinguishes between inputs that are hidden and skipped #1800
  • Minor tweaks to the menu (now there is a single "Sync" item) and added tab bars to some pages for consistency.

Sync Protocol 2 Module

Sync Protocol 2 is a new module that can be enabled on a Tangerine installation that adds Device management, the ability for form responses to sync to the server and back down to tablets, the ablity for two tablets to sync form responses with each other offline, and much more.

Manage which devices have access to sync, when they last synced, when they last updated and which version Define which form responses are synced up and back down to tablets
device management sync settings
  • Data Collector generates encrypted backup of Device #1909
  • Data Collector conducts a two-way sync with server only getting data from server relevant to their location #1755
  • Device sync by Location: Sync Protocol 2: Enables a "Device Setup" process on first boot of the client application. This requires you set up a "Device" record on the server. When setting up a Device record on the server, it will give you a QR code to use to scan from the tablet in order to receive it's device ID and token.
  • Data Collector syncs to server with large dataset #1757
  • Data collector synchronizes data between devices using an Offline P2P mechanism #279
  • Editor User configures two-way sync for form responses from specific forms #1753
  • Editor revokes access to syncing with server for a lost Device #1894

Case Module

  • Data Collector views Case Events in Schedule with Estimated Day, Scheduled Day, Window, and Occurred On Dates #1737
  • Data Collector creates (another) instance of a repeatable form for a specific participant in a specific event(8hrs) #1786
  • Data Collector views which Participant they are filling out a form for #1820
  • Data Collector searches for a Case in a large dataset #1893
  • Improvements to Case Home search - limit docs to 25 when no phrase is entered: #1871. Added rule to delay search in Case Home until at least two characters have been entered. Search results now sorted by date record updated.
  • Lazy loading tabs in Case Home - this helps resolve some of the slowness in loading Case Home. Also disabled animations on tabs to remove jankiness.

Developer Updates

  • Re-enabled git config in Dockerfile - still having git networking error even when off corp network.
  • Updated docker-tangerine-base-image to v3.4.0
  • New load testing doc.
  • Added random name generation to the script that generates new cases - useful for load testing and checking how well search listing works. If using the 'case-mother' switch, record templates are pulled from your group.

Upgrade instructions

On the server, backup your data folder and then run the following commands.

git fetch origin
git checkout v3.8.0
./start.sh v3.8.0
docker exec -it tangerine /tangerine/server/src/upgrade/v3.8.0.js

Replace all ocurrences of localStorage.getItem('currentUser') with window.currentUser.

v3.7.2

  • More fixes for upgrade process from v3.1.0.

v3.7.1

  • Fix translations update script.
  • Fix client update process when upgrading from v3.1.0.

Upgrade instructions: On the server, backup your data folder and then run the following commands.

git fetch origin
git checkout v3.7.1
./start.sh v3.7.1
docker exec tangerine translations-update

v3.7.0

Upgrade instructions: On the server, backup your data folder and then run the following commands.

git fetch origin
git checkout v3.7.0
./start.sh v3.7.0
docker exec tangerine translations-update

v3.6.5

Upgrade instructions: After the usual upgrade commands, also clear reporting caches with docker exec -it tangerine reporting-cache-clear.

v3.6.4

  • Fix usage of T_CSV_MARK_DISABLED_OR_HIDDEN_WITH in some cases.

v3.6.3

  • Allow disabled or hidden inputs output in CSV to be overridden using CSV_MARK_DISABLED_OR_HIDDEN_WITH in config.sh. The default value in config.defaults.sh is "999" which is what it has been for a few releases. When upgrading, do nothing if you want this to stay the same, otherwise use "ORIGINAL_VALUE" if you want to turn off the feature or set to your own custom value such as "SKIPPED".

v3.6.2

v3.6.1

v3.6.0

Upgrade instructions:

On the server, backup your data folder and then run the following commands.

git fetch origin
git checkout v3.6.0
./start.sh v3.6.0

Now you may publish a release to your Devices and run the "Check for Update" on each Device. Note that if you are looking to use the QR Code scanner and you have been using Android Installation, you will need to reinstall the App on Devices and make sure to note the additional permissions installation instructions noted in the README.md file for enabling the App to have Camera Access. If using the Web Browser Installation, there is no need to reinstall the app for Camera access.

v3.5.0

Upgrade instructions:

Backup your data folder and then run the following commands.

git fetch origin
git checkout v3.5.0
./start.sh v3.5.0
docker exec -it tangerine /tangerine/server/src/upgrade/v3.5.0.js 

If any of your on-change logic looks into a form item's contents using tangyFormItemEl.shadowRoot.querySelector(...) or this.$.content.querySelector(...), you must change it. The contents of the form can now be accessed at tangyFormItemEl.querySelector(...).

Also, the content element is no longer available.

For example:

// replace
var el = this.$.content.querySelector('tangy-input[name=\'classId\']')
//with 
var el = this.querySelector('tangy-input[name=\'classId\']')

The advantage of moving this content out of the shadow DOM is that you can now style it directly from your app.

v3.4.0

  • New Features
  • New groups now ordered by creation date: Creating new groups will now order them by the date the were created in the group list. #1584
  • Configurable Web App Device Orientation: You can now specify the Web App orientation (portrait, landscape, or any) on device using the T_ORIENTATION variable in config.sh. Add T_ORIENTATION="any" to config.sh to have more flexible orientations for PWA's. The options for T_ORIENTATION are at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/orientation
  • Media Library and Image support for Forms: Each group now has a media library tab where they can uplaod images which can then be utilized when inserting the new "Image" item on forms. #1138
  • New ACASI widget: The ACASI widget is braodly based on the EFTouch widget, but focused on a more static presentation of images and sounds. #56
  • Configurable font size in grids: You may now configure the font size in tangy-timed and tangy-untimed grids using the Option Font Size input. In tangy-form, it is exposed as option-font-size. Example of generated code: <tangy-timed required columns="3" duration=80 name="class1_term2" option-font-size="5">
  • Auto-stop for tangy-radio-buttons: Add support for autostop in tangy-radio-buttons #49. In Editor, set the Threshold to the number of incorrect answers: screenshots. Autostop is implemented by using the hideInputsUponThreshhold helper, which takes a tangy-form-item element and compares the number of correct radio button answers to the value in its incorrect-threshold attribute. Example of generated code: <tangy-form-item id="item1" incorrect-threshold="2">
  • New "correct" attribute for radio button options: A new "correct" attribute has been added to tangy-list-item to store the correct value. There is a "Correct" checkbox next to each option. Example of generated code: <tangy-radio-buttons name="fruit_selection2" label="What is your favorite fruit?"> <option name="tangerine">Tangerine</option> <option name="cherry" correct>Cherry</option> </tangy-radio-buttons>
  • Fixes
  • Critical Sync and "data loss" fix: Some variants of v3.3.x saw cases where data seemed to be lost on the tablet and sync no longer worked. After this release is deployed to the server, release for your groups and instruct all tablets to upgrade. The upgrade process may take many minutes depending on the amount of data stored on the tablet due to a schema update in the database. For an in depth look at what this update does, see the code here.
  • Logstash Improvements #1516
    • User profiles were in a nested object, now they have been merged to be flat in the logstash output doc. See example here.
    • If a form response uses a location element, it will now be extracted out into a top level "geoip" property whose value is an object with "lat" and "lon" properties. See example here.
    • When new forms are created in the editor, they will no longer have a . character in their ID. This was causing some uneccessary and confusing logic in logstash config files. See PR here.
  • EFTouch: A large number of fixes have been made for EFTouch. See recent issues here.
  • Updated to tangy-form-editor ^5.18.0 for Change grid variables in CSV starting with variable_0 to variable_1.
  • A previous update to tangy-form to 3.15.1, tangy-form-editor to 5.17.0 to fixed Editing form level HTML requires two Save clicks
  • Beta Features
  • Two-way Sync: Allows for two-way sync of form responses. Can be configured to two way sync form responses for specific forms and also by geographic region defined in the user profile. See docs/feature-two-way-sync.md. and Add a tangy input inside a tangy box duplicates items, and enable Adjustable letter size for grids
  • Case Module
    • Add the "case" module to T_MODULES in config.sh and the default landing page for a group will be the cases search page and new "Case Management Editor" tab will appear in groups for creating and editing Case Definitions. #1517
    • Clientside search of Forms for Case Management Groups allows Cases to be found using the device camera to scan a QR code. See docs/case-management-group.md.
    • Add event time and scheduling to Case Mangement Groups #1518
    • New layout for Case and Case Event pages.

For existing groups, you need to edit their app-config.json files in the ./data/client/content/groups folders. Replace them with the following template and make sure to update variables such as groupName, uploadToken, and serverUrl.

{
   "listUsernamesOnLoginScreen" : true,
   "modules" : [ ],
   "groupName" : "pineapple",
   "securityQuestionText" : "What is your year of birth?",
   "hideProfile" : false,
   "direction" : "ltr",
   "columnsOnVisitsTab" : [],
   "hashSecurityQuestionResponse" : false,
   "uploadUnlockedFormReponses" : false,

New features since v3.0.0-beta12

  • Server admin imports client archives into server #1166
  • After exporting data from clients, we now have an easy command line tool to import them. Place those exported files in ./data/archives folder and then run docker exec tangerine import-archives.
  • Consumers of reporting API find user profile data appended to form responses #1147
  • New logstash module for installations that want to use logstash to migrate data to an Elastic Search instance.
  • Enable by adding logstash to the list of modules in config.sh, then clear reporting caches docker exec -it tangerine bash; cd /tangerine/server/src/scripts; ./clear-all-reporting-cache.js;. You will find new <groupName>-logstash databases in CouchDB that you can configure logstash to consume.
  • Upload Tokens instead of upload usernames and passwords.
  • In your config.sh change T_UPLOAD_TOKEN to a secret phrase and then in existing groups add that to app-config.json as an "uploadToken" property and uploadUrl to serverUrl but without the username and password and upload/<groupName>. For example, "uploadUrl": "http://uploader:password@foo.tangerinecentral.org/upload/foo" would become "serverUrl":"http://foo.tangerinecentral.org", "groupName":"foo", "uploadToken":"secret_foo_passphrase".
  • If you not planning on updating clients right away, in config.sh set T_LEGACY="true" to support the older upload API that those clients expect. When all clients are upgraded, set that variable back to false.
  • Editor edits location list for group #982
  • @TODO
  • Editor creates, edits, and deletes form responses on the server #1047
  • Editor exports CSV of a form for a month of their choosing #1143
  • Editor sees user profile form related columns joined to CSV of all forms #1142
  • On client, prevent users from editing their own profile.
  • To impact new groups, change T_HIDE_PROFILE to "true" in config.sh .
  • To modify existing groups, change "hideProfile" in group level app-config.json to true.
  • Assessor registers on tablet, downloads form responses created on server #1129
  • On device registration, after user creates account, will force user to enter 6 character code that references online account.
  • To impact new groups, change T_REGISTRATION_REQUIRES_SERVER_USER to "true".
  • To modify existing groups, change "registrationRequiresServerUser" in group level app-config.json to true.
  • Editor updates client user profile on server, Assessor sees updated profile after next sync #1134
  • On client sync, will result in any changes made to a user profile on the server to be downloaded and reflected on the client.
    • To impact new groups, change T_CENTRALLY_MANAGED_USER_PROFILE to "true" in config.sh.
    • To modify existing groups, change "centrallyManagedUserProfile" in group level app-config.json to true.
  • Editor views tangy-timed items_per_minute calculation in the CSV #1100
  • <tangy-location> can be filtered by entries in the profile by adding attribute <tangy-location filter-by-global>. In the editor when editing a <tangy-location> you will find a new option "Filter by locations in the user profile?" you can check.
  • Advanced forms features (no GUI for these features)
  • <tangy-input-group> can be used to create repeatable groups of inputs. See the demo here.
  • Geofence for v3 #941
    • If you location list has latitude and longitude properties for each location, you can validate your <tangy-location> selection given a geofence in <tangy-gps>. See the screenshots here and a code example of how to build this in your form here.
  • Upload incomplete form responses (important for Class module)
  • To modify existing groups, set "uploadUnlockedFormReponses" to true in app-config.json.
  • Server Admin clears reporting cache #1064
  • Server Admin runs script to update views in databases #962
  • Server Admin limits by site or by group the number of form responses uploaded end up in reporting outputs #1155
  • This feature brings two new settings to config.sh.
  • Set T_PAID_MODE to "site" to limit on a sitewide level, use "group" to limit on a per group level.
  • Set T_PAID_ALLOWANCE from "umlimited" to a specific number like "1000" to limit form responses that end up in reporting outputs to one thousand.
  • This mechanism works by marking uploaded form responses as "paid". When you first upgrade to this release, none of your form responses will be marked as paid and will not end up in reporting outputs until they are marked as paid against the allowance. If you want to mark all current uploaded form responses as paid and only mark against their allowance for future uploads, set the allowance to unlimited and after the reporting caches have been built, set the allowance desired and run ./start.sh again.
  • Optional Modules you can turn on and off in config.sh T_MODULES list.
  • Note that if you are going to override the default T_MODULES list with an additional module such as class, don't forget to add modules such as csv if you still need them!
  • Reporting outputs (inluding CSVs) include the information about the number of children a location has. #1174

  • Memory leak results in Error: spawn ENOMEM #886
  • On the server command line run crontab -e and then add the following entry to restart the program every 24 hours 0 0 * * * docker stop tangerine; docker start tangerine.
