Look and Feel

PO09779, WorkItem:277262 - Form control labels are not displayed when a nested LABEL child element is used

Issue Description:

A form control's label is not displayed on a page or modal if the associated FIELD element in UIM has a nested LABEL child element.

For example, the 'Show Nicknames' label is not displayed for a checkbox form control on the Person Search page if the label is nested.

User Interface Impact: Yes

Prerequisite(s):

• Install Merative Social Program Management from a development installer.
• Locate the file: ../webclient/components/core/Person/Search/Person_searchCriteriaView.vim.
• Find the 'Nickname' field:

<FIELD LABEL="Field.Label.Nickname">
<CONNECT>
  <SOURCE NAME="DISPLAY" PROPERTY="result$dtls$searchWithNicknamesInd" />
</CONNECT>
<CONNECT>
  <TARGET NAME="ACTION" PROPERTY="personSearchKey$nicknameInd" />
</CONNECT>
</FIELD>

• Modify the field so that the LABEL is a child element instead of a FIELD attribute:

<FIELD>
<LABEL>
  <CONNECT>
   <SOURCE NAME="TEXT" PROPERTY="Field.Label.Nickname" />
  </CONNECT>
</LABEL>
<CONNECT>
   <SOURCE NAME="DISPLAY" PROPERTY="result$dtls$searchWithNicknamesInd" />
</CONNECT>
<CONNECT>
   <TARGET NAME="ACTION" PROPERTY="personSearchKey$nicknameInd" />
</CONNECT>
</FIELD>

• Run the client build (build clean client).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Log in as a caseworker.
2. Navigate to 'Cases and Outcomes', expand the 'Shortcuts' panel and select 'Searches'.
3. Click 'Person' to open the 'Person Search'.
4. Issue: The 'Show Nicknames' label for the checkbox on the Person Search page is not displayed.

Resolution:

The JSP generator has been updated so that a label that is associated with a form control on an application page or modal is correctly displayed when a FIELD element has a nested LABEL element in UIM.
 

PO09812, WorkItem:277300 - Date picker content is partially hidden making it difficult to select a date value

Issue Description:

When you open a date picker that is positioned at the end of a modal window, the calendar expands but the dates at the end of the modal are not displayed.

Scrolling is required to select the hidden dates but the calendar in the date picker closes when you click the scroll bar. To select a date, you must scroll down by using the track pad or the wheel on the mouse, or tab into the widget and use the arrow keys.

User Interface Impact: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:
 

1. Log in as a caseworker.
2. Register a Person.
3. Create a Social Assistance case.
4. Navigate to the Evidence tab and add new Dividends evidence.
5. Select the date widget on the 'New Dividends Evidence' modal.
6. Issue: The date picker expands but the content is partially hidden. Scrolling is required to select some of the dates but the date picker closes when the scroll bar is clicked.

Resolution:

Now, when the calendar in the date picker opens, all the days from that month are visible and available to be selected without the need to scroll.

PO09703, WorkItem:277263 - Third-party address lookup services cannot access information from dropdowns in address fields

Issue Description:

Incorrect address evidence can be created where custom screens that use a third-party address lookup service cannot access data from dropdowns in address fields.

User Interface Impact: No

Prerequisites:

A third-party address lookup service and an Merative Social Program Management custom person registration screen that calls the lookup service and populates the results.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Log in as a caseworker.
2. Navigate to 'Cases and Outcomes', expand the 'Shortcuts' panel and select 'Registration'.
3. Click 'Person' to open the 'Register Person' modal.
4. Use the address lookup service to collect the address to be populated.
5. Issue: The address fields are not populated on the person registration screen when the address is selected.

Resolution:

Two functions are now available in the 'curam.util.Dropdown' JavaScript module to support an update to the selected value of an address dropdown by a third-party address lookup service.

WorkItem:277265 - Hook point to support drag-able modals

Issue Description:

Currently in Merative Social Program Management Version 8, the Carbon Design System does not allow the modal windows to be moveable.

User Interface Impact: No

Steps to Reproduce: N/A

Resolution:

A new JavaScript file called webclient/components/core/WebContent/CDEJ/jscript/curam/application/modal/ModalHooks.js is available to allow the implementation of custom functionality to make modal windows moveable. The function enableDraggableModals(modalRoot) can be implemented within the custom component copy of this file. The modalRoot node of the modal is available within this function and can be updated to implement the required behaviour. One of the most common ways to do this is to use event listeners that listen for users dragging the modals and update the position of node using the style attribute.

Universal Access

Universal Access

WorkItem:273073 - corrupted PDF Generated for Insurance Affordability Application submitted by hcrcaseworker when PDF Summary Template enabled

Issue Description:

Previously, the summary PDF template configuration enabled summary PDF generation for all scripts without any exclusions. As a result, invalid PDFs were generated for nonsupported IEG scripts that contained nonsupported conditions as listed at https://curam-spm-devops.github.io/wh-support-docs/spm/pdf-documentation. For example, a corrupt PDF document was generated for the Insurance Affordability application IEG script because the script does not support summary PDF generation.
By default, the Insurance Affordability application IEG script is now excluded from summary PDF generation through a new curam.intake.pdftemplate.iegsummarypagelayout.scriptexcludelist environment variable. The environment variable defines a list of scripts to be excluded from summary PDF template generation, if a summary PDF template is configured.
For more information about summary PDF template configuration, see https://curam-spm-devops.github.io/wh-support-docs/spm/pdf-documentation

User Interface Impact: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enable the new PDF Summary template as documented in https://curam-spm-devops.github.io/wh-support-docs/spm/pdf-documentation
2. Submit an application for Insurance Affordability with minimum data.
3. Click Administration > Attachments and download the PDF that is generated as part of the application case creation.
4. Issue: Observe that a corrupted PDF document is generated.

Resolution:

This issue is now resolved and the old data store PDF template is used to generate PDF documents for Insurance Affordability applications when a summary PDF template is configured.

Third Party Updates

WorkItem:276506 - [Security] Update the Google gson JAR file to the latest version

Google Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. A number of areas in the Social Program Management (SPM) product utilize this library. These include Advanced Evidence Sharing (AES) administration screens, the Timeline Calendar and the Smart Navigator feature.

The version of the Google Gson library has now been updated from 2.2.2 to 2.8.9. The new version contains some defect fixes and minor enhancements. As a result of this upgrade, the following changes have been made in the SPM deliverable.

• EJBServer/components/core/lib/gson-2.2.2.jar - old JAR removed.
• EJBServer/components/core/lib/gson-2.8.9.jar - new JAR added.

It should be noted that any references in custom scripts and other artifacts to the updated JAR files listed above should be updated.
