ReportMagic 4.3 Release Notes

New Features (3)

Ticket	Severity	Summary	Notes
MS-24564	Blocker	Preserve value type when storing and loading CachedValues via macros	Cached values now keep their type when stored and loaded. Numbers, booleans, dates, GUIDs and JSON objects or arrays stored with Cache.Set are returned by Cache.Get as the same type, so they can be used directly in calculations and object macros without re-parsing. Values from typed variables keep their type automatically when passed using late evaluation, and a new optional 'type' parameter on Cache.Set stores plain text as a stated type. The Admin app's Cached Values page now shows each value's type. Values cached before this release continue to load as text, exactly as before.
MS-23739	Major	[Meraki.OrganizationAdminsList:] macro	Added the [Meraki.OrganizationAdminsList:] macro.
MS-20408	Major	[List:] macros should allow sorting using lambdas	[List.Sort:] macro and related List.xxx macros can now sort by a lambda expression with jPath and NCalc capabilities.

Improvements (14)

Ticket	Severity	Summary	Notes
MS-23774	Critical	Add ControlFile field to ReportSchedule for external batch variable file support	Report schedules now accept a Control File field to reference batch variable files from external locations.
MS-24552	Critical	[LogicMonitor.InstanceAnalysis:] macro requires propertiesOnly parameter to collect instance properties without graph data	The [LogicMonitor.InstanceAnalysis:] macro can now list each instance's key details, such as its description and any custom tags, instead of collecting graph performance data - much quicker when you just need to check what's been found and how it's categorised.
MS-24124	Major	.ncalc Functions/Tutorials files should contain expectedValue and expectedType parameters	.ncalc files can have expected output type and value within them. It is formatted like: "// answer:<type>:<expected value>" And all Library .ncalc Tutorial and Function files now include this too.
MS-24213	Major	The Schedules and Batch Jobs pages should show a lazy-loaded hierarchical status roll-up in the Recent column	The Schedules and Batch Jobs pages now show a clickable status icon in the Recent column that lets you drill down into the last five runs at each level without leaving the page.
MS-23976	Major	Support .ncalc batch execution by input subfolder	Schedules now support .ncalc files
MS-23901	Major	Library Reports: [LogicMonitor.ResourceAnalysis:] macro parameter override requirements for QA	LogicMonitor Library Reports have been modified to use the [LogicMonitor.ResourceAnalysis:] macro in favour of the deprecated [LogicMonitor.DeviceAnalysis:]. These reports now detect non-production environments and override a Warning outcome to Success for the [LogicMonitor.ResourceAnalysis:] macro.
MS-23995	Major	[MagicSuite.ReportScheduleList:] and [MagicSuite.ReportScheduleProperty:] macros should provide the ability to get the control file and worksheet name of the Schedule	The [MagicSuite.ReportScheduleList:] and [MagicSuite.ReportScheduleProperty:] macros now provide the ability to get the control file and worksheet name of the Schedule, by using the 'ControlFile' and 'ControlFileWorksheetName' values in the property/properties parameter.
MS-22442	Major	Schedules - Batch Progress: should be completed left to right	The Batch Job section of the Progress Page now completes left to right as expected in order. Help documentation in the Docs app has been updated to describe the various values shown.
MS-22300	Major	File move to another folder should allow you to highlight the folder you want	The Files browser (used in several places, such as Report Studio, and the Files page) now correctly highlights folders in the tree view when dragging files/folders onto them from the right-side panel. A green background is used if the folder is not read only and a red background otherwise (i.e. when you cannot move / copy into it).
MS-16767	Major	Help: Trigger/Chaining help should be added to 'Generating and Scheduling Reports'	Add help to the Docs app that describes how the Schedule / DataMagic Sync chaining works / can be set up.
MS-24397	Major	Feedback / My Feedback viewer layout improvements	The feedback viewer now has a cleaner two-panel layout: the feedback details and the comments scroll independently, so long comment threads are much easier to read. On narrower screens the two panels stack into a single scrolling view.
MS-24110	Major	.ncalc Schedule Batch Execution Improvements	Improvements have been made to the .ncalc Schedule Batch Execution feature
MS-24373	Major	ReportMagic: desiredExecutionResult parameter should accept semicolon-separated list of acceptable values	When checking that a macro behaves as expected, you can now specify more than one acceptable outcome. The desiredExecutionResult parameter accepts a semicolon-separated list (for example, desiredExecutionResult=Success;Warning) and the check passes if the macro's result matches any value in the list. Specifying a single value continues to work as before.
MS-23086	Minor	Schedules Page top of screen layout should not be as cluttered - due to a lot of buttons	The Schedules and Batch Jobs pages now have a secondary toolbar that contains less frequently-used / specialist buttons and functions, to reduce clutter in the top-most toolbar.

Bugs Fixed (36)

Ticket	Severity	Summary	Notes
MS-24317	Blocker	SharePoint folders should appear in ReportMagic Files and Schedules should run	Fixed and issue that meant SharePoint folders were not appearing in Files and any associated report schedules would give a system error.
MS-23896	Blocker	[ReportMagic.xxx:] / [MagicSuite.xxx:] macros should use the MagicSuite macro default not the ReportMagic macro default	When using [MagicSuite.xxx:] or [ReportMagic.xxx:] macros with a macro default connection (rather than an explicit connectionName= parameter), the macro will now correctly pick up the MagicSuite connection default. Previously, macros would fail with a missing connection error on Tenants that had only configured a MagicSuite macro default, requiring a workaround of specifying the Connection name explicitly on every macro.
MS-23975	Blocker	Magic Suite Framework: Logging in using firefox should work	Firefox users will no longer experience a login loop when signing into any MagicSuite App.
MS-24127	Blocker	[LogicMonitor.UserList:] macro should not generate Json serialization macro error (4.3 fix)	Fixed an issue where the [LogicMonitor.UserList:] macro was broken due to changes in the LogicMonitor API.

MS-24007	Critical	[MagicSuite.ReportJobCount / List:] macros should not fail with a system error	Fixed a performance issue in count macros where counting items (like Report Jobs) was unnecessarily slow. Count operations now use an optimized API endpoint that returns the count directly, rather than fetching all the data first. This makes count macros significantly faster, especially when counting large numbers of items. Users will notice faster execution of macros that count items, such as [MagicSuite.ReportJobCount] and similar counting operations throughout the application.
MS-24257	Major	[Web.Html:], [Web.Text:] and [Web.Table:] macros should give better / more readable errors in specific scenarios	Error messages shown when a Web macro fails to fetch a page are now clearer and more descriptive, making it easier to understand what went wrong.

MS-24254	Major	Edit in NCalc 101 button should not be disabled in read only folders	The "Edit in NCalc101" button and context menu options are now available for .ncalc files even when they are in read-only folders, allowing you to open and work with the file in NCalc101 regardless of the folder's write permissions.

MS-15462	Major	Files: the Edit File menu option should be greyed out when a file is selected	Edit Files is now not present as an option when: a. right clicking in the files view with no file selected, and b. in the files tool bar with no file selected

MS-24299	Major	[DateTime:] Late-evaluation variable references fail when using Calculate Shorthand assignment for 5 out of 6 add* parameters	Fixed late-evaluation variable references ({=Variable}) not working with DateTime add* parameters in Calculate Shorthand assignments.

MS-24446	Major	[MagicSuite.xxxProperty:] macros should include the Connection name in the error message upon failure	When various [MagicSuite.xxxProperty:] macros (such as [MagicSuite.ConnectionProperty:] fail, for example due to a connection that doesn't have the correct access, the error message is now more helpful and tells you which MagicSuite Connection was used.
MS-23702	Major	[Table.Graph:] macro's xValueType should affect the xAxis	When explicitly set, the xValueType parameter is applied (the default is Auto as before).
MS-23703	Major	[Database.Graph:] macro's xValueType should affect the xAxis	When explicitly set, the xValueType parameter is applied (the default is Auto as before).
