   In Configuration, Warehouse tab, a new field named 'Idle Timeout' has been defined. The default value for 'Idle Timeout' duration  is BLANK.

   Based on the 'Idle Timeout' duration defined, system will Auto-close the Warehouse Task screens automatically, once the 'Idle Timeout' threshold is crossed.

   However, a BLANK value will keep the window remain open forever without an Auto-close.

1. Summary by Un-discounted section totals in Order prints. *(R2-19964).

2. Sections with section total and item details in Order prints. *(R2-19965).  

3. Section total, Item details, and Item totals in Order prints. *(R2-19966).

4. Item section summary with Un-discounted section totals in Invoice prints. *(R2-19967).

Improvements

1. Improved system performance on Product Daily Statistics script. i (R2-19524)

   Product Daily Statistics is a scheduler program which will collect various transaction status of a Product. For this report Repair days is the key.

   • Repair Days is the duration when a product was on a service.

   • If the SWO is in 'OPEN status', the 'In-Service' duration for the respective product/asset's is considered as Repair Days.

   • The following reports cover this statistics — ProductDailyStatsView and ProductDailyStockStatsView.

Improvements

1. Auto Scaling/ De-scaling of DB pool size in R2API & R2. i (R2-18975)

   Connection pool:

   In R2, we can edit more than one order in edit mode simultaneously. In such cases, the save of one order shouldn't affect the other orders in edit mode. To manage this, every order is allotted one dedicated connection, and same connection has to be closed, on closing the order. Creating new connection from the DB on every order edit will cause more latency to the system. Hence we need pool the connections at the every R2's client level. In R2, the connection pool is lazy loaded. That means, as and when the existing pool is exhausted, one connection will be taken from the DB and added to the Pool.

   In R2API case also the Connection Pooling is necessary, since every API Request needs a dedicated connection to process the payload.

    

   Previous to this improvement:

   In r2.ini, we can specify the max number of connection that can be taken from DB. We can increase this parameter to a higher, by which we can allow

   • Users to edit more order simultaneously, in R2

   • API server to process more number of Requests simultaneously

   Cons side of this is, the high number connection taken will stay in the Pool, even after

   • the orders are closed and only a few orders are in use (in R2)

   • the requests are completed (in R2API)

    

   After this improvement:

   At any point of time system maintains a buffer in the connection pool. Before the connection pool get exhausted, it creates additional connections and adds to the Pool, to be readily available for the system's consumption. Also when the connection usage gets reduced, system will release the excess connections to the DB, by reducing the Connection Pool size. This applies to both R2 and R2API.

   Below are the parameters in r2.ini related to this feature

   MAXCONNECTIONS=15

   Max no. of connections, can be acquired from DB for one session of R2 or the R2API instance. This will be considered if the AUTOSCALING is FALSE>

    

   AUTOSCALING=FALSE|TRUE

   Is Auto Scaling enabled. This will be effective only along with the BUFFERCONNECTION is defined. Otherwise, AUTOSCALING will be considered as FALSE

    

   BUFFERCONNECTION=10

   Buffer connection count applicable only if AUTOSCALING=TRUE

Improvements

1. Enhanced UI/UX with better performance through:

1. Pagination in Search screen view for Opportunity, Company, and Tasks. i (R2-19808, 19811, and 19812)

   When you search for Opportunity, Company, and Tasks; based on the count of records listed, system automatically adjust the number of pages that will appear.

   The total count of records are split in multiples of '25 Records per page'. Currently this format of '25 Records per page' is fixed, as this feature to fetch records

   is driven by API which supports extracting 25 records at one go.

    

   Table 1.0: Filters supported for each of the Entities

   Entity Name	Filter Name	Filter Values
   Company	Phase	Suspect, Lead, Prospect, and Customer
   Tasks	Due Date	Overdue, Today, and Upcoming
   Opportunity	Completed	Completed

    

   Table 1.0: Linked Entities supported for search page (minimum columns required).

   Entity Name	Linked Entity Name
   Company	Address and Contact
   Opportunity	Company
   Task	Company, Opportunity, and Contact

    

   Table 1.0: Popover Card columns supported

   Entity Name	Pop-Over Card Column Name
   Company	Address, Phone, and Website
   Opportunity	Address, Phone, and Website
   Task	Address, Phone, and Website

2. Faster response time taken by Activity Timeline to display Tasks, Call Logs, Notes and Email (R2-19813)
