New Features   

Reference Description
3933, 4276, 3935, 3936

Azure AD Authentication
Azure AD Authentication is now supported by Atria natively. When AAD Authentication is enabled, “Sign in with Microsoft” button appears on the login screen. Sign in with Microsoft redirects the user to the Azure AD login screen and redirects the user back to Atria after successful login. “Sign in with Microsoft” button supports branding and can be customized using Atria’s unified branding. To enable AAD Authentication, the customer needs to create an AAD application and set AzureAd_ClientId into the config service.

Atria instance registration
To provide better support to clients and facilitate automated license reporting, every instance of Atria is registered with the Automate101 CRM System. Registration is handled as part of the database upgrade process. Customers need their CRM Deployment ID prior to upgrade or new installation. Please contact our support team before upgrading to 12.13 to get your DeploymentID- we are happy to help with upgrades.
4260 Custom JavaScript injection
A new feature has been added to Atria which allows customers to inject custom JavaScript code into the page. Any JavaScript file under wwwroot\customers\custom-scripts\ will be injected automatically during the runtime. This can be used for usage tracking codes such as google analytics.
3190, 4147 Classic and Modern UI Branding
Branding experience for both classic and modern UIs is now unified. If you navigate to the branding page, you can customize classic and modern UI elements visually using CSS. Customers with customized branding must backup their customized CSS before upgrade to 12.13, then copy & paste CSS to customize the CSS section on the branding page; Platform will take care of CSS compilation and all the future upgrades. Please contact the support team before upgrading to 12.13 – we are happy to help with upgrades.
3192 Global Search Bar for Classic and Modern UI
Global Search bar has been moved to the top for both classic and modern UI.
3678 Progress Bar for Modern UI Dialogs
Progress bar has been added to the top of all modern UI screen. A progress bar is shown when the platform is creating or updating an existing record.
3710 Tier 2 Service Provider License Notification
For indirect customers, currently if they attempt to assign a license to a user, and there are no licenses available, Atria returns an error and cannot purchase licenses. A new feature has been introduced which will subsequently place the provisioning request on hold and send a formatted license request email to the service provider’s nominated email address – this will contain the Microsoft TenantID and the license requested. Atria will retry provisioning after 12 hours and provided the license is available will assign the license to the user. A “License Requests” Page has been added to manage pending license requests; This page can be found under Microsoft Online on the left-hand menu.
3827, 4238 Configuration Page
A new configuration page has been introduced in the platform to simplify and unify access to all configuration/settings pages. The link to this page can be found in the left-hand menu under the Links section. Users can use Page Manager to manage which links are shown on this page. The goal is to allow the left hand menu to be decluttered of infrequently used menu options.
3874 Exchange Online – Shared Mailbox performance improvement
To improve end-user experience and performance of Exchange Online Shared Mailboxes, Exchange Online PowerShell Client v2 is used to perform actions around Shared Mailboxes.
3889 Exchange Usage Report
A new per-customer usage report for Exchange has been implemented and can be found under the Reports menu. This new report shows exchange usage by user name, username, plan, disk quota, and disk usage and it is exportable into CSV format.
3795, 3799, 4275, 4385 , 4390, 4396 Azure AD Differential Sync
Atria now supports Azure AD Differential and full sync. By default, nightly syncs are set to differential but this can be changed in the Sync Policy screen. A new checkbox labeled “Full Sync” has been added to the Azure AD Sync page which can be checked to trigger full sync. Also, a new column has been added to the Azure AD Sync page which shows the type of the sync operation. AAD Differential Sync uses Microsoft Graph to query delta changes from the previous sync.
