Release Note: CHANGELOG - Thinger.io Documentation
Added
- Property Forms
: Allow creating custom forms for improving the user experience when setting values inside a property, i.e., when configuring a device. The form can be defined at Product level, and it is currently supported by Formly.

- Property Location
: Location properties now display a map for picking the address directly from the map or via a search bar for using an address. Once an address is selected, it automatially fills the coordinates and timezone.
Property location editor

- Dashboard Functions
: Dashboard now supports creating custom functions for processing any data used in dashboard, i.e., for changing units, cropping decimals, or filtering values. Conversion functions can be selected on the data source configuration.

- Dashboard Placeholders
: Dashboard now supports settings placeholders from a fixed value, or a device property. Placeholders can be used in a any string field on the dashboard, i.e., titles, units, or even inside functions to change the functions behaviour depending on current device configuration.

- Dashboard Group Widget (BETA)
: New Group Widget that brings the possibility to add any number of widgets inside a parent widget.
Group Widget
- Dashboard Property Table (BETA) : Introducing a new widget that enables quick editing of properties for a device or a set of devices. This widget includes various built-in controls such as text display, input text, input number, slider, color selection, switch, a save button, and an edit button. These elements can be configured in each column to patch a single property value.

- Claiming Feature
: The Claiming Feature is a versatile and user-friendly tool designed for administrators to configure and expose a selected number of resources, such as devices, for end-user claiming. This feature enables administrators to effortlessly set up various resources which end-users can subsequently request. Upon a successful request, these resources, like specific devices, are automatically integrated into the end-users’ accounts. This streamlined process not only enhances user experience by simplifying resource acquisition but also provides administrators with efficient control over resource distribution and management.
Claim Configuration
One of the key strengths of this feature is its flexibility in claiming methods: users can initiate a claim through a directly generated URL, by scanning a QR Code, or by using a specific Claim Code:
Claim Details
Claim Process - Initial Step
Claim Process - Review
Once claim is completed, the process may request the configuration of the devices, i.e., via the Property Forms defined on the product.
Claim Process - Complete & Configure
-
Configurable Brand Accounts
: We’ve introduced a new “Accounts” section for each brand. This enhancement allows more control over brand-specific behaviors, including:-
Cross Sign-In Control: Decide whether users registered with one brand can log in to another, enhancing security and user management.
-
Public Sign-Up Options: Choose whether to allow public sign-up for each brand, providing flexibility in user onboarding.
-
Automated Role Assignment: Set specific account roles for users who register through public sign-up, such as automatically assigning ‘member’ status for device claiming purposes.
-
This update offers more customization to better align with your brand’s unique operational needs.
Brands Accounts Configuration
- Configurable Brand Scripts
: We’ve rolled out an exciting update: you can now configure custom scripts for your brand’s index.html. This enhancement is perfect for integrating tools like Google Tag Manager and monitor your customers traffic.
Brand Scripts Configuration
- New Permissions
: Console is introducing an array of specific new permissions, enhancing the granularity with which administrators can control member access and actions within the console. This update distinctly separates permissions for actions performed through the API from those executed directly on the console interface. In the current version, all existing permissions will continue to function as before. However, future updates will require the explicit assignment of ‘View’ permissions to maintain the access level. This change lays the groundwork for more precise and customizable user role management, ensuring enhanced security and efficiency in operation. At this moment they are partially released for Devices, but will be covering the whole console in future updates.
New View
- Updated Editors
: Now editors are based on Monaco (the editor from Visual Studio Code) with support to maximize the editor and copy the contents:
New Code/Value editor in the console.
- New Icon Picker
: There is a new icon picker with much more variety of icon and improved search capabilities.
