Flexible user interface customization
Packages: Bundle, share, reuse
Effective immediately, there is a new option for extending the user interface of MACHINES.CLOUD . In addition to the existing options for developing your own application or modifying an existing one, you can now use plugins. This allows for flexible customization of the interface without requiring web development skills or the creation of a complete application. As a result, for example, a single new feature can go live while the system is up and running.
The introduction of the plugin function also enables the use of the new application type "Packages". This allows you to combine several plugins into a complete package so that you can use the user interface more efficiently in different applications. Another advantage is versioning: you can select exactly the plugin version you want to use and thus avoid version conflicts.
Uncomplicated application sharing
The introduction of the "SHARED" setting for application packages means that they can now be shared with subtenants within your organization. In plain language, this means that each subscriber does not have to subscribe to the application packages individually, but they can be shared by a main subscriber (parent tenant). This supports a self-service approach to web application usage.
Complete applications as blueprints
Improvements in device management
With the new Blueprint feature, you can now create complete applications and deploy them as packages. This is especially useful for specialized solutions such as water or smart city management. In addition, if the versions of the packages and the deployed applications are out of sync, you will be notified and can simply click to update.
- More flexibility with the Loriot agent: From now on, multiple connections per tenant are possible. Moreover, you can connect to multiple devices.
- Easy registration of Loriot devices: Device registration is now also possible via the settings page.
