Portal v6 Release Candidate Now Available for Testing

[Deleted User]

Hello, today we are granting access to the version 6 Release Candidate (RC) - "Portal v6 RC"

This RC is available for you to download and provide feedback on this discussion thread.  Please feel free to download "Portal v6 RC" from here: https://support.cireson.com/portalprerelease/clickonce/Cireson%20Setup.application 

Best Practice: Please install this release candidate in your test/dev/staging environments for testing purposes only, and feel free to leave feedback about your experience on this post if you find any bugs or have any issues (we’ll generally accept praises too if you are so inclined.)

New release process for all Preview Releases (pr) and Release Candidate (RC) will be posted here to the forums so you can download and provide feedback in an open format to our Product and Development teams. Leave feedback on this thread!

Another great feature we plan on including in the near future is the capability to easily theme your Cireson Portal.  This has stemmed from a lot of enhancements we have made to the Adaptive design approach which was implemented in the preview release process of 5.x.   We are working on releasing our first version of this technology which we'll call 'Cireson Portal Themer' currently.  Here's a few early screenshots to wet your appetite.  

Looking forward to hearing your feedback on the RC and the Portal Themer!

is it a bug or by design, when you click on a workitem in a view in 6.0 you have to click on the text and not en entire "blue" area in order to get into the WI?

Minor display issue I noticed on Work Items - when resizing a browser (horizontally) the Status of the Work Item will move to a second line beneath the WI title, but will then overlap it. It doesn't entirely block it out, but does overlap.

Is the Cireson Portal Themer going to be an online service or will it be available for us to use on-site and offline?

While in "Beta" The Cireson Portal Themer will be a online service that allows you to download a customized theme css file, that you can then reference from your existing custom space css.  If desired we could possibly look at turning this into a stand alone application.

Thanks James. Since our instances are air-gapped it would be handy to have it on the local network, however it's not a task that we'd have to undertake very often. I suppose "handy" doesn't stack up very well in cost:benefit.

Hi Thomas, 
I think it is handy to have the WI selection NOT be based on the entire line. It allows for easier selection of multiple WIs for applying tasks. WI selection is based on Icon, ID and Title fields, which seem to make sense.
What do you think?

I do like the change and now i can rightclick and open in a new tab. But i had some trouble getting into a WI because i clicked on the blue bar instead of the text. But that's not a big problem just takes a few days to get used to click on the right place in the portal for the users.

Do you have a beta version of the themer tool available ? This could help for me to go-live in version 6.
I can't go-live with a non company chart version and I don't want to make all the CSS modifications manually if we are about to get a tool for this. Thanks in advance.
