v1.1139.2

v1.1139.2

New features

  • Production Insights - Reports
    • Added the OEE Waterfall widget.
  • Connected Operations - Activity
    • In Activities, the Calculated value field on activity templates now supports custom formulas, giving users more flexibility than the previous preset functions.

Improvements

  • Reports: Grouping by Shift Name or Instance now also includes shifts that overlap the widget time range, cutting the data at the boundaries.
  • Fixes an issue in assistant where the chat input would grow to cover the conversation.
  • Edge and Factory devices set up through fleet provisioning now detect their device type automatically when connecting to the cloud, instead of relying on a hardcoded value. (Technical detail: THING_TYPE is now set in /data/greengrass/config/environment, and the IoT Core topic prefix fbedge/… or fbfactory/… is derived from it.)

  • Fixed a bug where an Action Plan would not open if its creator no longer has an account.
