What's New in 2024.1

We are excited to announce Vera 2024.1!

The following enhancements are included in the Vera 2024.1 release:

Expanded Support for Jira Wiki Formatting

Vera now supports displaying the HTML rendered view for Jira fields that contain Jira’s Wiki-Style Markup language. For records that are routed for approval with Vera 2024.1 or later, the field will be imported with the HTML rendered view automatically.

Open

Jira Wiki Support Example

For previously approved records that cannot be re-routed with Vera 2024.1, they can also be displayed in the rendered view. See Support for Jira Wiki Markup 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.

Added Audit Logging for Domain Administration And Audit History Improvements

Actions performed on a Domain are now logged in the Audit History area. The following actions are enabled for audit:

• Adding and Removing Domains

• Updating Domain Information

• Adding and Removing Users from Domain Roles

• Adding and Removing Projects from Domains

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

• Audit History is exportable to a CSV-formatted file.

• Audit History table is filterable and sortable.

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 Inactivity Logout 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 Configure Inactivity Timeout Settings 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 Active User Sessions for more information.

Defect Fixes and Security Improvements

Various defect fixes to the Web Portal and API Server.
