Akkadian Provisioning Manager Release 5.0.6
| Task ID | Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 78be0n | Fixed an issue where Search Service Offboard job was not reporting details of all deleted items | Offboard jobs run via Search Service were only logging summary data and not properly including all the items that were deleted. | Bug |

| 9ajeh3 | Fixed buggy behavior with Audit Trail on Dashboard | This ticket addresses multiple behavioral issues with the audit trail table. On the dashboard and in the reporting page, the audit trail and restored audit trail tables are initially sorted by service group in descending order. They should be sorted by date in descending order. Rolling back a job causes the table to switch from being sorted by service group descending to performance date descending, causing potential confusion. Changing the table to the second page causes the table to switch from being sorted by service group descending to performance date descending, causing potential confusion. Viewing the status of a rolled back job causes the status text color of completed jobs in subsequently opened status modals to appear blue instead of green. Sorting the audit trail table by clicking the table header multiple times causes multiple click handlers to be set on jobs in the restored audit trail table. This causes multiple network requests to be sent when trying to view the status of restored audit trail jobs. Rolling back any jobs besides the first rolled back job without refreshing the page does not correctly change the status of the job from Completed to Rolled Back in the table. The status is correctly updated in the modal, however. |
