Introduction
Release Date: July 15, 2016
This maintenance release was focused on upgrading our user authentication practices to use OAuth 2 and addressing a number of significant bugs that were causing unnecessary inconveniences. Twenty-one bugs and six improvements were included in this release.
Important Notes about this upgrade
Customers who upgrade to this version of Illume Next will need to install the latest Illume Next desktop client in order to continue to publish new surveys to their systems.
Additionally, for self-hosted customers doing their own upgrades, all of the config files for the DesignerService, Collector, and WebUI will need to be replaced with the template file.
New Features
There are no new features for the Illume Next product as part of this maintenance release.
Improvements
- Illume’s database has been altered so that it is compatible with Azure SQL allowing Illume databases to be hosted in the Azure cloud.
- Question tables in the responsive rendering now have less padding separating the table from the table’s instructions so that proximity lets the participant know the two are related.
- The default size of the survey title text in the responsive rendering has been increased to 32px and margin has been added around it to separate it from the edges of the browser window.
- The default text size of question prompts in the responsive rendering has been increased to 18px.
- Users can now configure their own timeout length when using the DownloadAuditTrail utility to get large amounts of audit data from Illume.
- When users login to Illume, the system now uses OAuth 2 to authenticate them.
Resolved Bugs
Illume
- An issue preventing users from approving and publishing checked-in surveys has been resolved
- An issue with the responsive survey rendering that was preventing survey resources from rending in Internet Explorer 9 has been fixed.
- Illume Administrators can now configure participant lists in their systems to use the Relations feature and configure relation options.
- Commentary boxes in the responsive survey rendering that are configured to have widths that exceed that of a standard mobile or tablet screen width no longer create horizontal scrolling when taking the survey in mobile or table mode.
- Response options for the likert scale rendering option of select one questions in the responsive rendering now have a standard/minimum amount of padding between them.
- Users no longer receive an “Object Reference Error” that prevents them from editing and saving any changes to the DATSTAT_CASEOWNER property on a participant list.
- Importing participant data no longer requires that the DatStat built in properties be capitalized. Importing built in property data is now case insensitive.

- Users can now use the “Equals” operator successfully in filters throughout the platform for comparing dates, times, and date/times.
- Submissions created through the data import feature are now displayed on the General tab of the Data Manager when viewing a survey.
Discovery
- Users can again configure nested study tasks in Discovery to close automatically with a specified status code when the parent study task is closed.

- Participant survey study tasks no longer get automatically updated to a final complete status code as soon as the survey is launched
Remote Data Collection
