Ticket Details​

Improve the initial Building Block Run status​

Audience: Partner

Description​

When running a Building Block for the first time, two runs would show up, where the first one would forever stay in the pending status. This is now fixed and only one run will be created that reflects the correct status.

Multi-Currency Support in Financial Reports​

Audience: Customer, Partner

Description​

You can now perform currency conversions in meshStack, which will help to streamline the chargeback process and budget management. All costs will be converted to a single base currency (EUR) for Usage Reports and Chargeback Statements, making it easier to keep track of expenses. Additionally, budget notifications will be available for AWS accounts with enabled currency conversion. Please stay tuned since we are also working on adding a united currency feature to the financial graphs.

SCIM Performance Improvement​

Audience: Operator

Description​

We have optimized the SCIM implementation that will enhance performance, particularly when handling a substantial volume of SCIM group updates directed towards meshStack.

Manage Landing Zones in the Platform Control Plane​

Audience: Partner, Operator

Description​

It is now possible to list, create, edit and disable Landing Zones in the Platform Control Plane. This allows you to manage landing zones of just that particular platform. The existing Landing Zone management list in the Admin Area also still remains.

Improved reload behavior of tables and lists​

Audience: User, Partner

Description​

When tables or other lists were refreshed, you could notice a short flickering when data was reloaded. With this change, reloading data will not result in that flickering anymore. New data will just be added or if no data changed, there will be no visual change. To still provide feedback, that reloading is happening, a toast message is now shown on the bottom right of your screen while loading.

Faster feedback of new Building Block Runs​

Audience: Partner, Operator

Description​

When starting a new Building Block Run in the Building Block Control Plane of the Admin Area, you will now get detailed information about the new run usually within 5 seconds. Before that change, you might have seen the new Run only once the Building Block received a new status. Additionally, the table now refreshes without flickering.

Edit Building Block Definition draft version by default​

Audience: Partner, Operator

Description​

If a draft version of a Building Block Definition exists, it is now preselected when editing or looking at the details of a Building Block Definition. Before this change, the latest version of the Building Block Definition was selected. As we see the usecase of further working on your new draft as the most common one, we changed that default behavior.

Keep creation order of Building Block Inputs​

Audience: User, Partner, Operator

Description​

The order of Building Block inputs was not deterministic. This is fixed now, so the order of Building Block Inputs is considered on all Building Block related objects (Definition, Building Block, Run).

Create a Payment Method from the Payment Method Screen​

Audience: Partner, Operator

Description​

With this change, you will now be able to create a payment method directly from the payment method screen to streamline your budget management process.
