Beta testers wanted for new CCR Angular UI

Announcement

Ben Spead · Feb 18, 2020

Hundreds of users at TrakCare and HealthShare sites around the world rely on the InterSystems CCR Application (Change Control Record) to track their changes and deploy their configuration. InterSystems is excited to announce that following the launch of the Angular-based Documentation and FAQs this summer, the CCR application is now ready to accept beta testers to try out further expansion of the Angular UIs.

Users at CCR-controlled sites who wish to participate in the beta testing of the new UI can "opt-in" using the following steps:

Navigate to https://ccr.intersystems.com/ccr/detailsUser.csp
Check the "Beta Tester: " checkbox and click "Save"

At this point you will automatically use the beta version of the following UIs:

Masthead/Side Navbar
Home Page
System Details
Org Details
Org Import
User Details
User Import
CCR Reports

Additional pages will be added to the beta program in the future.

If for some reason your work is blocked by a bug in the new UI, you can remove the "Beta Tester" flag from your account and get back to the original UI.

Please feel free to report any feedback on this thread, or via your normal Support channels.

Thank you for trying out the new interface and letting us know if you see any issues with rolling it out to a wider audience!

Your account is not properly configured for CCR access. If this is unexpected, please contact InterSystems Support.

Neerav,

Thank you for your interest! Although per the post this is only open to "users at CCR-controlled sites". Looking at your D.C. profile I don't think this is the case for you. If you are actually using CCR already, then you will need to log in with the InterSystems SSO account that you use to do your CCR work in order to try out the beta.

Thanks!

Hi Ben, switched over to the Beta UI but on the Create CCR for System i get the following message:

Couldn't find Create for System "T2018"

Couldn't find Create for System "T2016"

Ben Spead · Feb 25, 2020

@Amanda Priestly - thank you so much for trying it out!

The issue is that there are many sites around the world with a SystemName of "T2018". You need to specify the site that you're interested in, eg "SCBO/T2018".

We have a development task to make this more clear and keep people from being stuck on this point. I hope we'll have it in place within the next week or so. Thank you!

@Ben Spead That's great, got it now.

Is there a plan to change the actual Create CCR page to have a similar look/feel to the home page?

Amanda

@Amanda Priestly - yes, absolutely. The initial beta covers the 6 areas covered in this article. We will eventually be updating the entire application but we're working through it one section at a time. The next section will be the System Details page.

Hey Ben,

I too have a concern over the "Create CCR for System".

For my system, there is no dropdown to select the correct system.

Sorry @Jeffrey England - I only just saw this now (feel free to use an @ mention in the future).

This control doesn't currently include any sort of dropdown. It was based on the System lookup in the old UI where people could just drop in their SysCode to drive navigation. Adding a dropdown of some sort is on the roadmap, but it's not trivial as some people have access to hundreds of Systems (so it's not a simple dropdown - it will eventually be a combination typeahead dropdown which pulls from all Orgs a user has access to).

We will be moving live an update to this component soon which makes it more clear that SystemCode is optional (but it will still be a text field).

Hope that helps explain things!

Ben

NOTE - initial set of new angular-based pages is now live for all users. Beta testers will continue to get to see newer pages before they get rolled out to everyone. To find the current list of pages in Beta test mode, see https://ccr.intersystems.com/ccr/ng/faqs and search for 'beta' in the search box
