Portal News

Application Template

There is now an ability for Marketplace, Accelerator, and Reseller Apps on developer.q2.com to have Application Templates for Q2 API's. This is expected to most commonly be used for applications that need to interface with Caliper API. This will close the need for FIs, Partners, and/or Q2 doing Caliper API application setup for every installation.

For a partner to create their Application Template for their app they can simply navigate to their App Configuration in the My Apps section and click on the Application Template navigation node. This template is exactly like creating an Application through the normal Application Creation workflow.

This Application Template would then be used when the app is requested to create Caliper API OAuth Applications scoped to the FI's environment for the Partner's services to use.

The FI, Partner, and Q2 will be able to see the application in the app order in a card, similar to the following: The 3 dot hamburger menu is where the FI has the ability to revoke OAuth Applications. The OAuth Application drop down is where the FI, Partner, and Q2 have the ability to manage their pieces to the OAuth application. The FI has the ability to manage the level of access the Partner has as well as approving new scopes. The Partner has the ability to manage the usage token agreement with Q2 and rotate the secret keys.

Log improvements

The Portal log puller now has received some stability improvements as well as the ability to pull only certain levels of logs and limit to only a specific hq session via two new filter inputs. This allows a developer to pull all the logs at Error or Summary view, find the specific log line where the issue is, then grab the session id from the log line to do another log pull to get all the logs for that particular request.

Other notable improvements:

Turn the Catalog Feature Type filter live

On the my apps page, there is now the ability to filter by what SDK features it uses. This can be useful to be able to easily view all composable dashboard apps.

Dashboard banner for app not approved

When your company has an app that has not yet been approved a banner shows at the top of your screen that states to complete your integration review before signing deals with financial institutions.

Include company_admin role as a badge on organization members

At a glance you can now see which users in your organization is the company admin.

Tecton News

In Tecton 1.39.0, Q2 introduced a few updates to q2-section and q2-data-table, and continued to expand on our goal of making Tecton components accessible for everyone.

A couple of notable improvements:

• Added more CSS customization options to modify the text and borders of a q2-section.
• In q2-data-table, setting the selectable attribute to false will now deselect any currently selected rows on top of disabling the selection functionality for the table.
• Developers can now configure individual rows in q2-data-table to be disabled to prevent selection even when selectable is true.
• The select-all checkbox in the q2-data-table header now visually represents when none, some, or all rows are selected in the table.
• Implemented our first iteration of using axe-core in the Tecton elements test suite to verify WCAG compliance of our components.

Caliper API News

This month, several enhancements have been added, with a focus on improving existing endpoints and expanding functionality through the addition of new endpoints and fields.

Get Products

Get Products endpoint added to retrieve product and product type information.

Group Mover Updates

• Group Mover endpoint response payload now includes an omitted key as part of each migration bucket as an indicator of whether the customers were omitted from the migration.
• OmitPending field added to omit customer ids from the migration process if they have pending transactions that may violate limits of the target group.
