If you experience this error when logging into Alloy Mobile, please update the app to the latest version (v2.66). The error is caused by a recent improvement to Alloy's authentication service to make it more secure.
We’re updating the behaviour of AQS Join queries to ensure that all join attributes are exported correctly in a particular scenario.
This will change the output of the Export API endpoint for some AQS Join queries. However, rest assured that none of your saved queries will be affected!
Anyone who uses:
The change will only affect AQS Join queries where all the following are true:
Currently, in this scenario, the join attributes from the child design/interface are incorrectly included within the interface’s path group. As a result, these join attributes are omitted from the export files because their paths are invalid.
The change will correct this issue. Therefore, if you regularly export joined data, be aware that export files may start to contain attributes that were missing before.
30th May 2024 as part of the Alloy v2.59 release.
Context
As you may be aware, we have been facing an issue with importing geometry data through the Gateway using the Alloy Web Client. Currently, when a coordinate system is selected, all rows with geometry in an import will return a warning and will not be imported correctly. This has been due to a change to a third-party service which supplies projection settings used by the Alloy Web Client.
This is an ongoing issue and has not yet been resolved, however, in an effort to allow a workaround for this issue, we have altered the coordinate system selection to display the conversion (proj4) string.
Workaround
To select your data file's coordinate system, click the magnifying glass icon to bring up the picker and select from the list.
This populates the Coordinate system text box with the configuration string for your selected coordinate system. This string is currently being formed incorrectly and removing the text +type=crs at the end of the string, will resolve this import issue.
We understand that this solution is not ideal, and are working on a long-term fix, but in the meantime, we have introduced this change to allow you to continue importing your data.
We are making a temporary change to the behaviour of how the results from an AQS Query Data Source are displayed in custom reports. This change will affect the display in controls when linking to multiple items to make this work consistently across all attribute types.
This change is being made to prevent report generation from failing under certain conditions described below.
This change will affect anyone using the AQS Query Data source with join attributes within the Report Builder to build custom reports.
Previously, when an AQS Query resulted in multiple matched items for join attributes, this would be displayed as X Items into the resulting table cell in the report. However, since all entries in a table column must be of the same type, this would only work for String attributes (since the entry X Items is also a String) and would result in an error for other attribute types with the report failing to generate.
From now on, resulting cells will show a single item attribute result, similar to the current behaviour of the single join result. If multiple values are matched, only the first attribute of the first item will be displayed.
Let's assume there is a project containing 4 job tasks. If the user would create a custom report using an AQS Query data source rooted on Projects and linking to Jobs via the Tasks Attribute (Project DS -> Tasks to Jobs DS -> Title). If a Table control was then added to the layout based on this data source, the display of the data in this table will change following this change.
Before Change
Previously, the table would have shown 4 Items in the joined Tasks and Title column.
After Change
However, from now on this would display one of the job titles e.g. JOB-9.
Note
If you would like to continue using this aggregation, this can be achieved by using a Join Data source rather than an AQS Query Data source.
