Enhancements and Fixed Issues in ThingWorx Platform 9.3.2
The following enhancements are part of ThingWorx Platform 9.3.2.
|
Enhancements
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
Platform
|
||
|
Container Deployment
Additional enablement and guidance on running ThingWorx Docker container images on Azure Kubernetes Service. For more information, see ThingWorx Container Deployment Hub.
|

Mashup Builder

Security Enhancements
• Added replacements for Validator and Expression functions that include new security enhancements. Existing versions of these functions are now labeled as Not Secure.
• Added more secure replacements for validators that are used to validate cell content within Grid widgets. You can disable legacy validators for a grid widget using the DisableLegacyValidation property.
The replacements include additional restrictions when using run-time objects and functions. To benefit from the latest security enhancements, we strongly recommend that you replace any non-secure functions or validators in your mashups with the latest standard version. For more information about these changes, see Replacing Non-Secure Expressions in a Mashup.
|
||
|
User Interface
The Reminders panel now displays reminders when an expression uses non-supported objects or functions. You can click on a reminder to automatically select the related function.
In addition, non-secure expressions are highlighted in the following ways:
• A message is displayed when you open a mahsup that contains non-secure expressions.
• On the Functions panel, non-secure functions are grouped under a Not Secure label and awarning triangle is displayed on the panel. You can replace non-secure functions using the Replace button next to the function name.
• Columns that use the legacy validation are highlighted in the Columns Configuration dialog box.
|
||
|
Containers and Layouts
Added properties, services, and events that enable you to configure lazy loading for layout containers in a mashup. Dynamically loading, unloading, and reloading widgets within a container improves mashup performance.
To use lazy loading for a widget extension, you must manually update the <WidgetName>.runtime.js file of a custom widget by adding the domOnly attribute to the beforeDestroy() function. For more information, see Using Lazy Loading in a Mashup.
|
||
|
Bar, Line, Schedule, Pareto, and Waterfall Chart widgets
• Added widget properties that enable you to set a fixed number of labels on numeric and date/time axes.
• Added new style properties for the X-axis labels.
|
||
|
Grid (Themable)
• Updated the default validator used for the widget to the latest standard version.
• Added support for sorting the grid columns using the Ordinal field in the infotable data source.
|
||
|
Image widget—The image container size does not change automatically when replacing the media entity.
|
||
|
Label widget—Added a property that prevents the widget from automatically removing whitespace characters in the Text property.
|
||
|
Text Area widget— The widget is now responsive. When the widget is added to a container, it uses all of the available space. This change may affect the layout of a mashup when a single Text Area widget is placed inside a container. For more information, see Text Area Widget.
|
||
|
Tabs widget—Added lazy loading support for the widget tabs. The tab content is automatically loaded, unloaded, and reloaded when you switch between tabs.
|
||
|
Google Maps Extension 3.1.2
|
||
|
Updated the Google Maps and Google Location Picker widgets to support lazily-loaded containers.
