History ‒ Guidelines ‐ EPFL

List of Accred 4 (4.13.3) fixes:

Deletion of the Accreditations catalog: In its place, an Accreditations tab has been added to all unit sheets. For a higher-level unit, this tab allows you to search for and display all the accreditations of lower-level units.
Removal of the Authorizations catalog: Instead, the ability to search and display all authorizations for lower-level resources has been moved to the Authorizations tab of the resource concerned.
The “Units and Resources” catalog tree search engine has been improved:
- it returns the same results as the list mode;
- returns results in compact form;
- is navigable at all times
Improved search performance thanks to api.epfl.ch tools

List of Accred 4 (4.9.1) fixes:

CSV import stopped at the first error encountered, instead of continuing and reporting errors at the end.
It was possible to select a fund when the right/role did not accept authorization at this level

List of corrections to Accred 4 (4.8) :

Reactivation of red counters on front page
Improved readability of the restricted or unrestricted status of a function
Hide “finalization” block if no function is entered

List of improvements:

Addition of a link from a unit’s details to its financial center and vice versa
In the authorization creation wizard, when selecting a resource, instead of automatically choosing the unit or CF of the work accreditation, all available resources are now offered for selection.
Addition of a shortcut on the front page to access a page of current workflows
Addition of an alert message when no function is entered on the accreditation
Addition of a CSV import function on the front page, requiring the person performing the manipulation to have all the necessary rights to create the resulting authorizations
Addition of a menu in the search filter proposing the rights and roles corresponding to the search criterion, enabling the user to refine his search using an existing right or role (typing 5000 displays in the menu all the rights in the signature register with at least this level of signature).
