There were several changes deployed for Community Connect in July.
Enhancements
Updated the Kiosk and SyncService to work in Azure
The Kiosk and SyncService were updated to be able to work in Azure (cloud) servers. This is an important transition which will pave the way for future Kisok improvements.
The Kiosk and Sync Service were depending on pings to determine connectivity. Since pinging doesn't work against an Azure web app, those ping checks had to be replaced with API calls. Without these changes, the kiosks will always show offline, and the sync service will fail since it checks for connectivity and aborts the sync if the check fails.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a Kroc Admin error
The error occurred when users tried to fill in the CCMS Sales tab for a Kroc center that never had a CCMS Sales record (i.e. never used or set up CCMS sales before).
Fixed a Kiosk error
Fixed an issue in the kiosk that could prevent Activities from loading properly if the description was too long.
Reports
Fixed the Customer Communication Statistics report
The customer communication statistics report had data in the "Undelivered" and "Delivered" columns in the reversed order.
