New features

 

Experience more control over your reporting processes by scheduling ad-hoc reports

 

We are pleased to extend our ad-hoc reporting capabilities to INX InFlight, resulting from feedback received through our collaborative forum, Canny.

For any ad-hoc reports, you can select the frequency of the report (days, weeks, months or annual), customise how many selected fields the report will run, and set the start and end dates for the report.

You can also select the people to receive this report via email once it has been generated.

 

 

Join the upgrade waitlist for INX IGNITION JULY 2024 by speaking to your Account Manager today.

What will this do?

You can automate the generation and delivery of your ad-hoc reports, ensuring critical insights are delivered to the inbox of you and your team when required.

What do you need to know?

• You will need to have purchased INX InFlight.

Introducing our new security and user management solution, INX Identity

We are proud to introduce our new security and user management solution, INX Identity, designed to centralise how you manage user identities and authentication across your INX Core applications.

A modern and seamless log-in navigation experience with INX Cloud

We have built INX Identity on the foundations of our cutting-edge, cloud-native platform, INX Cloud, to provide your workforce with a modern and seamless log-in and navigation experience.

Your INX Core solutions can be accessed through a scalable and reliable multi-tenanted platform – hosted by industry-leading cloud services provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS) – while ensuring robust data isolation and security between each environment.

With INX Identity, you will unlock the following new features:

• Provide simple single sign-on setup and ongoing support for INX Core, INX InControl Mobile and INX+Moodle using a single connection
• Multifactor authentication can be enforced when using usernames and password log-in credentials
• for username-password log-ins.
• A new, cohesive log-in experience with added security and modern authentication standards:
  • Suspicious IP throttling
  • Bot and brute force detection of unauthorised access
  • Breach password protection
• Supports a range of identity providers, including AzureAD and Okta, through OpenID Connect
• Provide a multi-tenanted log-in experience for contractors
• Send or cancel invites to SSO or username and password users, and view their status, last log-in or connection
• View user authentication profiles including email, sign-up date, multifactor authentication enrolment, last IP address and last log-in date
• Access to our cutting-edge INX Cloud application hosted by Amazon Web Services, featuring:
  • New landing page
  • Enhanced navigation experience by using our chevron menu within INX Core products back to INX Cloud
  • Improved log-in and out experience without relying on incognito or using different browsers. A dedicated log-out link is available and visible within the ‘Logged in as’ section.
  • User invitation management – active and pending invitations, URL invites, access management
  • Centralised user management – search, authentication profile management and role assignment

Both INX Identity and INX Cloud are SOC 2 Type II compliant, demonstrating our commitment to implementing and maintaining the best security practices and controls to protect your data.

What will this do?

With INX Identity enabled, you can:

• Access INX Cloud, built on scalable and reliable industry-leading technology with AWS.
• Protect your organisation from unauthorised access with enhanced security features such as single sign-on, multifactor authentication, brute force and bot detection, suspicious IP throttling and breached password protection.
• Centralise how your system administrators can onboard multiple users and manage user invitations.
• Allow users to reset passwords from within the log-in window of INX Cloud, where they will receive an email link to enter their new password.
• Experience seamless navigation back to INX Cloud using our new chevron menu within our INX Core products.
• Simplify how users can log in or out of your INX Core applications.

What’s excluded?

• Ongoing support of old SSO configurations when INX Identity is enabled. Old SSO configurations will need to migrate over to INX Identity SSO as part of the implementation.
• Access to INX Software applications not purchased by your organisation.
• SSO support for SSRS reports. Access is required through your UMT user credentials.

Considerations

When upgrading to INX IGNITION JULY 2024, adding INX Identity is optional if your organisation has an existing SSO solution. You can either purchase the product version upgrade with INX Identity enabled or the version upgrade only.

 

Improvements

 

Validating Username and LookupName fields to reduce duplicate profiles

We have applied a validation method to the Username and LookupName fields within the User Management pages to identify and rectify duplicate security records.

INX Core application navigation and user experience improvements

We have made a series of improvements to your user and navigation experience within our INX Core products.

With the INX IGNITION JULY 2024 upgrade, you will find:

• Our new, ­printer-friendly product logos
• Consistent descriptive text in our browser tabs so you can easily identify the product you are in and what it does
• If you have INX Identity enabled, you can navigate back to INX Cloud using our new chevron menu from within our INX Core products.

 

Fixes

 

Latency improvements in Workflow Requests

There have been reported latency issues on the Workflow Requests page in INX InFlight. The latency has been improved by implementing four indices on the Workflow Request and Workflow Request Stage database tables.  This fix has delivered noticable page performance improvements.

Save multiple people to a Favourites List

When adding multiple people to a Favourites List within the User Favourites, users would receive an error message and profiles were not saving to the list. This is now working as expected, all selected people will be saved and users will no longer see an error message.

Download attachments when navigating to the Attachments tab

When navigating to the Attachments tab within a Person Profile, the Download Bulk Attachments button would appear even when no attachments were available. Pressing this button would result in a 500 error, when there were no attachements available to download. The button will now only be displayed when attachments are available to download.
