Lists of more than 1000 Entities

Issue: If a list contains more than 1000 entities (lists of Cost Centres, AFEs, etc); the report results (amounts and/or volumes) are incorrect. This affects any report but only happens if there is a list of more than 1000 entities in the criteria.

Resolution: The Optix query engine has been corrected to ensure the report results (amounts and/or volumes) are correct when there are a list of more than 1000 entities.

Report Criteria Name

Payments Widget

Issue: The Payments widget may produce errors when start date and/or end date values are populated in the basic selection criteria.

Resolution: The Payments widget will no longer produce errors when the selection criteria includes start date and/or end date values.

Summarized Operations with Budget Focus

Issue: The Excel output that is created when using the Generate Property Summaries functionality may have the incorrect labels on the worksheet tabs; instead of the entity name from the hierarchy the tab label is “Report Results”. This typically happens when the ‘Actual Amounts’ report option is set to ‘Exclude Actuals’.

Resolution: The Excel output that is created when using the Generate Property Summaries functionality will have the correct labels on the worksheet tabs; regardless of the value in the ‘Actual Amounts’ report option.

Allocation Details

Issue: The Allocation Details report may fail when certain advanced criteria from the Allocation Attachment object is used.

Resolution: The Allocation Attachment has been modified to ensure the correct attributes are displayed in the advanced criteria. Previously, the advanced criteria in the Allocations widget would show invalid attributes; such as the Allocation Control attribute in the Allocation Attachment object. Selecting these invalid attributes would cause the Allocation Details report to fail.

Cursor may lose focus when attempting to log into Qbyte Exchange

Issue: When logging into Qbyte Exchange, focus may be lost when entering the Server URL field.

Workaround options:

1. Copy the URL to be entered in the ‘Server URL’ field, then tab into the field and paste it. Focus will still be lost on the field, but the paste will remain and you are able to login.

2. Clear out all your saved URLs. Removing all the URL options from the dropdown will revert the ‘Server URL’ field to a simple textbox, and then you can add the URL field you are working in. Once you have entered a URL and logged in, subsequent logins will have the original issue and you will need to clear out the saved URL from the dropdown.

Unable to Open Attachments saved as PDF Portfolio in Qbyte Financial.

Voucher or Invoice Images (Mixed Content Downloads)

Issue: The Voucher or Invoice images are not displaying from the external imaging system when launched from a Qbyte Financial screen or a Qbyte Optix report. This occurs on Chrome version 88 (or later) and Edge version 85 (or later).

Resolution: As of Chrome version 88 and Edge version 85, mixed content downloads are no longer supported.

Please work with your imaging system provider to ensure the imaging links are secure and update your imaging setup in Qbyte Financial and Qbyte Optix accordingly.
