Resolved Issues and Enhancements

The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Quest Web Parts for SharePoint.

Known Issues

The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of Quest Web Parts for SharePoint release.

System Requirements

You must ensure your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements described in this article:

Although administrative tasks on SharePoint sites are optimized for level 1 browsers, Office SharePoint Server 2007 also provides rendering support for other browsers that are commonly used. To ensure that you have complete access to all the functionality, we recommend that you use a level 1 browser for administrative tasks.

If a browser is not listed in either level 1 or level 2, it is not supported. For example, older browsers — such as Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 5.5x, Internet Explorer for Macintosh, and versions of third-party Web browsers that are earlier than the ones listed as level 2 browsers — are not supported.

Level 1 Web browsers take advantage of advanced features provided by ActiveX controls and provide the most complete user experience. Level 1 browsers offer full functionality on all SharePoint sites, including the Central Administration Web site.

Level 2 Web browsers provide basic functionality, so that users can both read and write in SharePoint sites and perform site administration. However, because ActiveX controls are supported only in level 1 browsers and due to the functionality differences within different browsers, a different user experience might be provided and there could be some variances from the user experience from the level 1 browsers.

Version 5.0

Version 4.3

Version 4.2

The following are the new features in the Web Parts for SharePoint 2007.

The Quest Calendar View Web Part has been added for SharePoint 2007. The Quest Calendar View aggregates data from one or more SharePoint lists and displays it in calendar form. This feature requires you to install Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extension 1.0 and an addition to your web.config file, so please review the upgrade instructions below: Summary of Upgrade Procedure.
The Quest Page Redirector Web Part has been added for SharePoint 2007. The Quest Page Redirector sends users to a designated URL. A common example would be redirecting users to their home sites.
The Chart View and SI Chart View now have the capability to display chart item color based on range in Y axis value. You can also define the color of the chart image's border as well as the color of the plot area's border.
The SI Chart View now has the ability for users to define search criteria using the Filter panel. The Web Part author can define the fields that will be shown in this panel using the SearchedFields property.
Quest Development Studio for SharePoint has been tested on 32 bit Windows Server 2008.

The following bugs were fixed in this release:

CR57289	Some of the Web Parts does not specify the correct URL in the Source HTTP parameter. This causes the Quest List Form's Cancel or Save button to return the user to a page with a missing HTTP parameter.
CR57335	The PerformValidation attribute is added to the Quest List Form's custom action so that the required fields will be validated when the custom action is performed.
CR53951	The browser freezes for a long period of time when you click on "Add Condition" inside the CAML Filter configurator. This happened in IE6 browser in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
CR55594	In the List View, the data disappears when sorting the list view based on a column that only exists in one of the lists.
CR55661	The List View opens the target page of Hyperlink column in a new window. It should open in the same window.
CR55662	The List View displays a Picture column as a hyperlink. It should display as a picture.
CR55563	The behavior of the Configuration Editor is incorrect when "DOMINO"/"CUSTOM" systems are added. When the user adds a new system with a system type of "DominoXMLOtherHTTP" then selects a new system, the system type should be "DominoXMLOtherHTTP" but the actual system type is "Oracle". In the case where the system type is created with "Custom", the actual result is that the system type is "DominoXMLOtherHTTP".
CR55564	When a System is deleted in the Configuration Editor, a confirmation window should appear.
CR55565	When a System is deleted in the Configuration Editor, the System settings pane (right pane) keeps the settings of the DominoXMLOtherHTTPdeleted system. As a result, the application returns an exception if some settings (for example: System Type) are changed.
CR55370	In the SI List View, the CalculatedValue and LinkTo attributes show ButtonColumn when used together
CR55201	The System Integration Web Parts cannot handle Dynamic CRM metadata.
CR55041	The Quest Web Parts should display an appropriate message to the user when the wrong configuration file is specified for system integration. Currently, the page crashes and the user is redirected to a generic SharePoint error page. Note, this only happens on a web page that has SI web parts as these types of web parts check for system plug in configurator.
CR49681	In the SI List Form, the Actions editor generates XML with unnecessary attribute when the Action Type="GoToSource"
CR56140	In the List View, the Reset button in the filter panel resets the fixed operator to Exclude from Search
CR56495	In the SI List View, the CalculatedValue attribute does not work
CR56682	In the Chart View, the web page crashes when YAxisValueRange is used
CR56702	In the List View, copying one document from one library to another causing null object reference exception
CR56711	The List View generated NullRefereceException when the Display Fields is empty
CR56628	The List Form does not delete an instance of recurring event correctly
CR55970	In The Configuration Editor, the changed section of the Web.config file should be highlighted when the user selects a problem and presses the "Fix It" button
CR53865	Add the ability to customize the tooltip in the List Form.
CR54337	Add the ability to turn off the "* indicates required fields" message in the List Form and SI List Form.
CR54407	Add the ability to hide the "Click here to upload multiple files" link in the List Form.
CR57134	The <CurrentUserName /> expression does not work in the CAML filter if it contains a space.
CR57103	The SI Selector returns a "cannot find column DESC" exception when "Sort in Ascending Order" is switched off.
CR56741	In the List View, the CAML Filter editor saves the wrong option for the choice field.
CR57088	In the List View, the group header is always expanded if the Field element contains Title attribute.
CR56141	In the List Form, the list form display is shifted to the right in Mozila Firefox 3 and older.
CR54355	The Actions > Alert Me toolbar button appears in the List View when login anonymously.
CR57012	The Chart View and SI Chart View need properties to control the color of the chart border and image border.
CR56906	In the SI Chart View, the Reset button in the filter panel resets the fixed operator to Exclude from Search.
CR56861	User receives a null reference exception when dropping the SI List View onto web part page.
CR57054	In the Panel Menu and Cascading Menu, if the target URL contains a relative URL, it will be appended to the master page URL instead of the URL of the current page. Because of this bug, current users have had to append "../.." in the relative URL to compensate the additional "_catalogs/masterpage". In order to not break current users' applications, a new property called "Target URL Relative To Master Page URL" has been added. By default, this property is set to true thereby maintaining the buggy behavior but preventing the current applications from crashing. In order to get rid of the buggy behavior, current users need to set this property to false where the relative URL will then be calculated correctly relative to the URL of the current page.
CR57026	Add the new property, 'Enable New Item Link In Child View', to the List View to hide the New Item link in the child view.

Version 4.1

SharePoint 2007 Web Parts

The following are the new features in the Web Parts for SharePoint 2007.

The SI Web Parts include these additional DAO Providers:
- ADO.NET connections to SQL Server 2005 are now supported.
- Direct connections to Domino server using XML over HTTP protocol are now supported
The Web Services DAO Provider supports complex type and XML parameters when calling the web method.
For the List form and SI List Form, you can now configure the form to be displayed in a tab layout or a custom layout. The custom layout capability enables you to code your own layout manager to control the location of each control and to create additional controls on the form.
The Help URL property, found in the Advanced tab of the Configurator, can now be modified to point to another URL such as the URL for a custom help file for the user’s application.
Documents can now be forwarded in an email from the List View and List Form
For the List View and SI List View, a new property to display selection column has been added. Currently, in order to select a row, you must click the row. To select multiple rows, you click another row while holding down the Ctrl or Shift keys. Now, there is another option for selecting rows. You can add a checkbox to the List View or SI List View that when checked by the user, indicates the row is selected. This checkbox is added to the List View or SI List View using the new property called "Selection Column Type" in the Configurator.
In the Chart View and SI Chart View, there is a new property that gives the user the choice to generate a chart image using the session or a local folder.

The following bugs were fixed in this release:

CR50694	When you select multiple items in the SI List View and click a toolbar button created with the Actions property, the operation is only performed on the last clicked item. The toolbar button is supposed to perform the operation on all selected items.
CR49482	The check-in/check-out status of the document is not preserved after it is moved using the Copy/Move panel in the Quest List View.
CR49679	The toolbar buttons in the SI List Form might appear in the wrong order when the Position attribute for the action item is specified.
CR49757	The Quest Selector always shows the value of the Date Time field as date and time even though the field settings specifies it as date only.
CR50005, CR50007	The first control in the SI List Form does not get the focus when the form is loaded if the type of that field is Choice or DateTime.
CR48669	After clicking the Download a Copy context menu item, another context menu item and the Web Part Menu > Configure menu item won't work until the page is refreshed. The workaround for this is to use the LinkTo="<%FilePath%%gt;" attribute in one of the fields in the Quest List View. That attribute will turn the column into a smart link column that the user can click to download a copy of the document.
CR53504	The Edit Item and Cancel button in the list form redirectes the user to an invalid URL when the form is opened with smart link
CR51403	The cascading menu generates an error that the access key was too long even though the access key was only one character long
CR52884	The lookup field site column does not work in the list form
CR54010	Excel Viewer webpart cannot handle international characters
CR54435	The group header expansion state always follows the setting of the first grouped field

Version 4.0

SharePoint 2003 Web Parts

There are no changes for SharePoint 2003 Web Parts in this version except for the requirement to use a new license file.

SharePoint 2007 Web Parts

The following are the new features and bug fixes in the Web Parts for SharePoint 2007.

All Web Parts

The help files have been consolidated into one CHM file (Compiled HTML). The CHM file gives you features such as Table of Contents, Indices to different topics, Search capability, etc. If you open up the help files using the "Web Part Menu > Help", the HTML version of the documentation is opened. This HTML version provides the same functionalities as the CHM version.
The version of the Telerik control has been upgraded to Q2 2007 SP1. This might result in a different look and feel in some of your Web Parts. Another thing to note is Telerik changed the default skins of many of their controls. When they do that, the old default skin is renamed to Default2006. Wherever this happens, we have renamed the name of the default skin in our Web Parts to Default2006.
The installer will give you a chance to extract the temporary setup files to a folder of your choice in the beginning of installation process.

New System Integration (SI) Web Parts

The SI Web Parts contain 4 different Web Parts: SI List View, SI List Form, SI Selector and SI Chart View.
The SI Web Parts provide an API to create a custom Data Access Object (DAO) Provider to connect to external systems that are not supported out of the box by the SI Web Parts. Please see the System Integration Developer Guide chapter in the Quest Development Studio for SharePoint documentation on how to write a custom DAO Provider.
The SI Web Parts provide an API to create a custom configurator if the default Web Part configurator does not suit your need. Please see the System Integration Developer Guide chapter in the Quest Development Studio for SharePoint documentation on how to write a custom configurator.
The SI List View, SI Selector and SI Chart View enable the user to display data from their external systems in SharePoint.
The SI List Form enables the user to display, edit and create new data from and to their external systems.

Changes in Quest List View

The following are the new features in the Quest List View:

The ability to turn off multi column sorting. If you turn off multi column sorting, the user can only sort the data based on one column at a time.
The ability to apply CAML Filter on Folders using CAML Filter for Folders property.
The List View displays the appropriate icon for the Type field in the document library. This icon also shows the check-in/check-out status of the document.
The List View displays the icon for the Edit field in any list. This icon will redirect the user to the edit form for the item when clicked.
The List View displays the appropriate icon for the Recurrence field in the Calendar or events list.
The List View is now a consumer for the IWebPartParameters interface. The List View still supports the IRowConsumer interface. However, the IRowConsumer interface implementation is marked obsolete.
The CAML Filter property supports the date range filter using OffsetDays attribute. This means you can always use the CAML Filter property instead of the complex filter property. The complex filter is slower then the CAML Filter. The complex filter is left there only for backward compatibility reasons.
The ability to specify the style of a particular column by using the ItemStyle attribute in the Display Fields property. Previously, you could only do this by using the ItemCssClass attribute that required you to pre-define a CSS class first.
The ability to define different styles for odd numbered rows and even numbered rows using the Item Style and Alternating Item Style properties.
The following buttons are added to the toolbar: Alert Me, Action > Open with Windows Explorer (for document library), Action > Connect to Outlook (for document library, tasks or contacts list)
The following menu items are added to the context menu: Version History, Workflows, Download a Copy (for document library), Edit Document (for document library), Create Document Workspace (for document library).
You don't have to specify DynamicAssemblyPath attribute in the web.config file anymore when debugging a custom action class.
The custom paging and grouped fields can work together now. Previously, the custom paging was always disabled whenever there were grouped fields in the List View. This could result in performance degradation when the List View displayed information from a big list.
The List View prompts the user whether they want to check out a document into a local working folder before a check out is performed.
A new property called Show Upload Button has been added. This property is used to control the visibility of the Upload button in the toolbar. Previously, the Upload button's visibility was affected by the Show New Item Button property. Therefore, you could not set the visibility of the New Item button and the Upload button separately.
The Grid Lines property was removed because its functionality was superseded by the settings in the skins for the List View.
A new property to sort the child view was added. This property is called Child View Sort Fields.

The following bugs were fixed in this release:

CR43616 - The List View did not display any data when consuming a filter with a DateTime field from another Web Part.
CR28557 - The List View crashed when trying to display data from an empty list.
