Description

This release is aimed to resolve a few bugs related to Tasks, the Users Table, the Daily Summary email, and the My Downloads page. The two most critical bugs are Tasks can be completed before the stage they are in is active, and duplicate items are appearing in the Daily Summary email for some users. We are deploying these bug fixes as soon as they are available without a 2 week notice to quickly return the system to it's intended functionality. 

Impact

This impacts all users using Tasks module, and the Users table. The impact to the My Downloads page is limited to users who are exporting very large Issues, Change Controls, or Tasks to PDF. The impact of duplicate items in the Daily Summary is impacting users assigned to multiple Account Roles and have items appearing in their Daily Summary. There are other bugs in this release that have more minor impacts, see the traceability matrix for the full list of bugs. 

Documentation

This release is being managed through change control 301-47. You can download a copy of the first stages of the system release record, including the requirements and testing traceability matrix for release notes here: 2023.1P1 System Release Record 301-47 Release Notes. An entire release record will be available for review after the release is completed, in the auditor share account.

We expect no downtime. 

Version Details

ZenQMS comprises a microservice architecture that breaks up large functions into smaller services. This reduces risk in the development and release process. As such this flagship release version is actually composed of the releases of the individual services components. It is entirely possible for a component service to not change versions in a release cycle even if other components do. Here is the summary for this release.
