For previously approved records that cannot be re-routed with Vera 2024.1, they can also be displayed in the rendered view. See https://tx3.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/V20241/pages/626786322 for more information.

Single Sign On (SSO) Improvements

We have expanded the ways that you can log into the Vera Web Portal. In addition to the normal login flow, where you provide your Vera Username at the Vera Login page, Vera now supports logging in directly from an Identity Provider, such as MS Office or Okta. Once enabled in your Identity Provider (IdP) by your administrator, you can simply visit your IdP’s application page and click the button for Vera. Or you can visit the Vera login page and click the appropriate SSO button.

The following improvements have also been made in the Audit History area:

Web Portal Session Management Improvements

Vera Web Portal will now track user inactivity and force inactive users to log out. Users will be notified before they are logged out due to inactivity. See for more information.

Administrators can set how long Vera will wait to log out inactive users and when they will be notified before being logged out. See for more information on configuring the Inactivity Settings.

Vera Web Portal will also display all active user sessions in a table, allowing System Administrators to be able to remove user sessions, if needed. See for more information.
