UI4.3: WHAT’S IN IT FOR U? JEFF BUTERA, HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE

OUTLINE Why move to UI4.3? End user perspective IT perspective How to transition? Questions?

WHY UI4.3? Did you install UI4.0 or UI4.1? Did you convert to UI4.2? Did you run WebUI (3.x)? Do you still have Desktop (2.3)? Same answer: Install UI4.3 – NOW!

WHY UI4.3 Dump WebUI 3.x - bizarre Dump UI 4.0, 4.1 – architecture Skip UI4.2 – same with bug fixes UI 4.3 is 100% SilverLight, no wIntegrate

END USER PERSPECTIVE UI4.3 requires SilverLight plugin 100% web application No software to install/maintain on PC Does NOT behave like traditional web forms with GET/POST

UI4.3 STARTUP

UI4.3 PERSON LOOKUP

UI4.3 ADVANCED SEARCH

UI4.3 CONTEXT CARD

UI4.3 MAPPING

UI4.3 PERSON FAVORITES

UI4.3 FORM SEARCH

UI4.3 “OLD” NAVIGATION STILL PRESENT

UI4.3 FORM: SPRO

UI4.3 EXPORT DATA FROM WINDOW

UI4:3: TO CLOSE OR NOT TO CLOSE?

UI4.3 SUMMARY FOR END USERS Person Lookup before form can be disabled UI4.x introduced Person lookup before form UI4.3 can be made to work like Desktop 2.3

IT PERSPECTIVE Users no longer have client on PC (yippie) UI 4.3 authenticates users like WA – via DMI Users no longer need OS login on APP server UI4.3 uses new listener for file xfers APP server no longer needs FTP enabled

IT PERSPECTIVE Security class can disable Excel export for PERSON lookups Can limit number of connections per user and/or environment Can send broadcast message to all users logged in Can setup admin users with no login limits

IT PERSPECTIVE Requires Windows server with IIS SilverLight talks to IIS, web service talks to Colleague Some tinkering to get performance right may be required.

IT PERSPECTIVE – WINDOWS SERVER MMC console used to control web services DMI listener File xfer limit Web service URL ISS Manager used to control web sites Setup SSL Setup # worker processes (like WA)

TRANSITION Tutorial video included Works for most knowledgeable users Not good for users who don’t use PERSON-centric forms (GL, CRSE, etc)

TRANSITION Installed UI4.3 in test Made all users come to training Showed video in groups Allowed all users to login and play Get people out of their office!

TRANSITION End users MUST try it out If they say “whatever” – they’ll be back with questions later Most people, given time to play, love it.
