Changes since Execute 21.1.261

Execute’s new Document Fetch APIs provide a streamlined way to bulk extract documents from Execute.

• A single streamlined API call vs. the Login > Run Report > Logout call for the current APIs.
• Returns ALL data for request documents in a nice friendly machine readable JSON form.
• Supports including calculated field values in the returned data (popular request from User Voice).
• Easily filtering to return only documents modified since a provided date (makes it much easier to keep a remove warehouse up-to-date).

Note: These APIs require the Execute Advanced Data Export (OData) module license.

More information can be found in our New Postman-based API documentation.

When configuring email reminders and notifications, administrators can now…

• Allow users to opt-out of receiving the notification/reminder by setting the Allow Opt-Out field on the notification/reminder to “Yes” (by default, users are not able to opt-out of reminders/notifications that they are included in)
• Allow users to opt-in to receiving the notification/reminder by adding the new notify subscribers block to the reminder’s Recipients rule. i.e.

Users are then able to adjust their email preferences from the new “Email Preferences” menu item under their name in the top-right of the Execute screen.

If you’ve ever found yourself looking at a report in Execute’s browse screen and thought to yourself, ‘Gosh, that ain’t right. I need to update that!’, only to be slightly deterred by the prospect of actually opening the Well, AFE, Job, etc. to make the change… Have we got a thing for you!

Users can now update individual values or entire columns right from the browse screens throughout Execute!

From the browse screen, users can now click the toolbar’s pencil icon to enable bulk edit mode. This puts a pencil in each editable cell in your browse report which will allow updating the cell without leaving the report. In addition, the new “Bulk Update” option under the column dropdown allows a user to update the entire column (respecting any filters you have, of course).

This new functionality respects the user’s edit permissions and will only allow updates to data they could have changed normally.

Here is a quick demo:

When creating a new Notification or Reminder, administrators can now use the new “Workflow Task” document type to build custom notifications for workflow tasks which much greater control than was previously available.

These new notification types allow building more complex rules like:

To help get you started, we’ve created a new sample notifications for the Job (RTx) module:

Note: There is currently a known issue that makes it impossible to build notifications when a task activated/reactivated and assigned to a user. We are aware of this and working on a fix in a coming release.

Previously, Execute’s Advanced Workflows allowed administrators to reference fields (either as task-fields or in Blockly rules) from child documents. In practice, these references would rarely work (since the behaviour becomes ambiguous as soon as a parent record has multiple children of the same type) and this functionality has been removed.

Specifically, we have removed:

1. The ability for a Project-level workflow to reference fields on linked Wells or Sites
2. The ability for a Site-level workflow to reference fields on linked Wells or Jobs
3. The ability for a Well-level workflow to reference fields on linked Jobs

As a safety check, Execute 265 and higher will check for these invalid references and, if encountered, will fail to start and the server log will contain a message like this:

2024-05-06 11:17:01.613 [ERR] Exception: System.ApplicationException: Upgrade incomplete. Precondition failed for upgrade of database to version 30: There are 2 task paths that must be addressed. Please contact Execute Support.

If this happens, revert to Execute 21.1.264 and contact Execute Support.
