New features

Adding templates to Access Management providing Administrators with the option of reducing users' accessibility to template information. Only Template Read access is implemented in this round.

The change will help simplify shipment creation for users manually creating new shipments. By limiting the template access, the users will have fewer templates to select from which will make the create shipment process faster and less error prone.

Create shipment dialog - showing template list is now based on user access permission

Users with limited Read access to templates will be impacted as the names of the templates used to create the shipments will not be accessible without the template access.

SCM UI - showing template name is restricted for user who do not have access permission

Access to templates can be managed in Account Admin UI in a similar manner as access to shipments and locations.

Furthermore, with this update users will have the option granting access to multiple templates, locations and shipments in one action.

Table 51. New

SCMRS-518

Admin User can manage user access to template information.

SCMRS-519

Read access to a template permits the user to use the template when creating a new shipment.

SCMRS-414

Access management: Admin users can view existing roles.

SCMRS-415

Access management: Admin users can edit existing roles.

SCMRS-416

Access management: Admin users can create new roles.



  • This change will mostly impact users who are manually creating shipments using templates, and administrators who are managing user access.

  • With this release, administrators and users who currently have access to templates via Create Shipment function will be granted read access to all templates, so no user should experience any change on the day of the release.

  • To limit user access to templates, administrators can configure the access. In general, template access should go hand in hand with the relevant Create roles.

  • To facilitate this change and enable customers to utilize this option, Controlant will generate an extract of user access and highlight which users have permission to create shipments. This will be shared through Project Managers and Customer Success.

For our customers that do no wish to utilize inspection process built into the SCM platform and new configuration is added that ensures all shipments, regardless of excursion severity, are transitioned to Closed status.

To attain this a new configuration, Require manual inspection for shipments, was added to Account Admin UI.

The default setting is When excursion severity threshold is exceeded and that follows the Excursion severity threshold configuration.

Shipment Auto Inspection Options dialog

To enable this option an Administrator must set Require manual inspection for shipments to Never as seen below.

Shipment Auto Inspection Options dialog with Require manual inspection for shipments set to Never

Once the setting has been updated to Never and the excursion severity threshold is exceeded for a shipment, the logger will still show an alarm and shipments, once delivered, will be Closed with a Shipment Quality Status: Undecided.

Table 52. New

SCMRS-525

Severity threshold that controls when an alarm is indicated on Controlant devices is configured in the Account Admin UI.

SCMRS-526

Admin user can configure the account so that shipments that have recorded an excursion that exceeds the set threshold, bypass manual inspection and are automatically transitioned to a closed status.

SCMRS-343

User will be able to choose which severity level will trigger automatic closure of a shipment.



  • This will not impact users. The default configuration for manual inspection will be set to follow the excursion severity threshold.

  • To enable the auto closure of shipments, the setting must be updated manually. Once enabled, all shipments will be closed automatically. Shipments with any excursion that exceeds the severity threshold will be closed with Shipment Quality as Undecided.

  • If the configuration is manually changed, the users most impacted are users performing quality release, as that action will no longer be required for the customers that choose to change this setting.

Users will now immediately be able to identify if there are issues with shipments because of missing data points.

Delivered shipments that have missing data will be grouped together in a new section in the shipments Active tab.

Shipment analysis issues indicating data is missing

The shipments will also be marked individually with Data missing for clarity and to ensure it is also clear when accessing the shipments through the search function.

Shipment analysis issues indicating data is missing

In the single shipment view each logger that has missing data is identified and by hovering over the logger with the mouse the time period of the missing data is displayed.

Single shipment view indicating data is missing - hover for a popup with details about period of missing data

Missing data will also be reflected in the Product module.

Table 53. New

SCMRS-522

Shipments that have been assessed to have missing data are grouped together in the SCM UI.

SCMRS-523

System will display a warning indicating which shipments have missing data.

SCMRS-524

System will indicate which loggers in a shipment have missing data.

SCMRS-131

If data is missing when a shipment is delivered, the shipment stops being automatically processed by the system.

SCMRS-179

System will allow maximum two missing data points from each logger in a shipment.



  • This release will impact all of our users and customers.

  • It will impact users viewing shipment through SCM UI, especially users involved with product release and support functions.

  • Instead of dwelling in the Recently Delivered section, the shipments with missing data will be transitioned to a specific section for shipments with missing data.

Shipments that have manually reported exceptions such as Damage, Interception etc. will no longer automatically close in SCM UI.

These shipments will need to be manually inspected before closing.

  • The last calibration date will be shown in Single Logger View.

  • Readied and Canceled Shipments will now appear under canceled shipments in Shipments tab (they were previously going to deleted and being hidden).
