Preview panel changes in 8.6 and migration guide
In version 8.6 some changes in the preview panel were introduced. This article describes the main changes in the Theme-Cosmos ruleset and provides migration steps in case you have overridden some of these rules.
Summary
Main changes include:
- moving action buttons to the blue case header
- aligning actions and "follow star" to the header top row
- adding assignment list to preview panel
- separate summary panel and case details in preview
- add Current stage to the summary panel - displayed only in preview
Adoption guide
Typical adoption changes include:
1. pyCasePreviewDetails - if you have overridden this section
- remove "Case Action Header" section (actions are moved to the blue header in preview panel)
- add "Assignments list" section displayed conditionally based on "pyShowToDoWidget" when rule
- change "Case details" section to use "Default" container format and add header to it with "Summary" value
2. CaseHeader - if you added custom actions to case header
- copy those actions also to the new region "Preview case header actions" to be available in the preview panel
3. EditAcitonIcon - if you have overridden EditAction section with some custom edit actions
- copy EditAction section replacing buttons with icons to be placed on case preview header
