On a Transport Form, tabs appear for the following when the associated functionality is being used:
- Related Merges
- Related Transport of Copies
- Related Backups
Prior to ActiveControl 8.3, these tabs were only visible in the Transport Form screen in the Windows GUI.
Given most users at most Basis Technologies customers are nowadays accessing ActiveControl via the Web UI, the same tabs have now been added to the Web UI.
This continues the deliberate trend by Basis Technologies to move more and more (and ultimately all) functionality over to the Web UI, to reduce the requirement for customers to install the Windows thick client.
Figure: Related Backup Requests tab now appears in the Web UI where Backout has been performed on a transport
Figure: Related Merge Requests tab now appears in the web UI where Merge has been performed
Figure: Associated TOCs tab now appears in the web UI where Transport of Copies is being used as part of a Customer’s process
Configuration Steps
No additional configuration is required to see these new Tabs in the Transport Form screen in the WebUI.
For customers upgrading ActiveControl, they might need to delete their browser history / delete cache before they see the new Tabs.
