+ +#### Description +You can now define a Building Block Definition as an integral part of setting up a new tenant in +a platform by ticking the "Use in Landing Zones only" box. You have to add this Building Block +Definition to the intended Landing Zones. +This kind of definitions will only be available to application teams as part of a Landing Zone they select +for their tenant. They will not appear in the Marketplace and can therefore not be added individually +to existing tenants. + +#### How to use +When creating or editing a Building Block Definition, you can set the "Use in Landing Zone only" checkbox, +to restrict the Definition accordingly. This property is not part of the versioning of a Building Block +Definition, so you can change it at any time. Existing Building Blocks won't be affected by this. + +### Fix description field in Landing Zones forms in Firefox +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +This fixes the broken description form field for Landing Zones, which was not working in the +Firefox browser. + +### Tenant Usage Reports include converted amounts +**Audience:** Operator
+ +#### Description +The tenant usage reports delivered by the meshObject API now include converted +amounts, e.g., if an amount is given in USD, the amount in EUR is included +as well. + +#### How to use +Tenant Usage Reports now include the additional properties baseAmount (i.e., +the amount converted to EUR) and baseCurrency (i.e., EUR). All existing +properties remain unchanged. This change is backwards-compatible, so if you do +not plan to use converted amounts, no action is required from your side. + +### Fix displaying CO2e emissions in report details +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +This fixes a bug that some Environmental Reports may incorrectly display total CO2e emissions in a details view. + +### Admin Workspace Access Overview includes expired accesses +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +Now, expired accesses are displayed in the Workspace Access overview in the Admin Area, offering a complete overview instantly. Expired and soon-to-expire entries are highlighted, ensuring easy identification at a glance. You can access this overview under Organization > Workspaces. Choose a workspace and click the users button in the "Actions" column. + +### Fix sorting on "Action Required" in Tenants Overview +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +Previously, when you tried to sort on "Action Required" in Tenants Overview under Platforms in the Admin Area, you have encountered a loading issue. This has been fixed. + +### Onboarding checklist when creating a new platform +**Audience:** Operator
+ +#### Description +We introduced a small onboarding checklist that will pop up when you create a new platform in the Admin Area. +It will make you aware of creating a Landing Zone before your platform is ready-to-use. +Stay tuned as we will extend this onboarding checklist with more items that are part of your platform onboarding experience. + +### Ops and Onboarding Support can approve tenant deletion +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +Previously, users with the role "Ops Support" or "Onboarding Support" weren't able to see the buttons to approve/decline a deletion in the Deleted Tenants view under Platforms in the Admin Area. This has been fixed. + +### View Tenant Details for Ops Support +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +Previously, Ops Support users couldn't access tenant details by clicking on "View Details" in the Tenants overview under Platforms in the Admin Area. This was due to a loading error that prevented them from accessing the necessary tenant information. This has been fixed. + +### Currency Conversion for meshObject API Chargebacks +**Audience:** Operator
+ +#### Description +With this change, you will now have converted amounts in chargebacks delivered +by the meshObject API i.e., if an amount is given in USD, the amount in EUR is +included as well. + +#### How to use +We use versioning for our meshObject API. If you do not require converted +amounts in the chargeback statements, and you use our API correctly by setting +the Accept header, then no changes are required from your end. If you want to +have converted amounts in the chargeback statements, you have to increase the version +in your Accept header. Simply use the Accept header application/vnd.meshcloud.api.meshchargeback.v3.hal+json +where you have previously used application/vnd.meshcloud.api.meshchargeback.v2.hal+json. +If you are still using v1 (i.e., application/vnd.meshcloud.api.meshchargeback.v1.hal+json) +and you are planning to use the new version v3, please note that v3 (and v2) uses the +term workspaceIdentifier where v1 has used the term customerIdentifier. + +### Building Blocks on Tenant Dashboard +**Audience:** User
+ +#### Description +The Tenant Dashboard, which is shown on the Tenant List in the Project Control Plane and on the +Platform Access tab in the Tenant Control Plane now also shows an overview of Building +Blocks in the given tenant. + +### Web Console links for Self-Built Platforms +**Audience:** User, Partner
+ +#### Description +A new output type "Sign In Url" was introduced. If a string is returned with +this output type it will be used as the web console link on the platform tenant +dashboard. This mechanism can be used to return per-tenant links to the users. +If this is not set, the web console link is taken from the platform +configuration. This feature allows you to link directly to the tenant in your +self-built platform. + +### Fix Known Host edits for Building Block Definitions +**Audience:** Partner
+ +#### Description +This fixes the sometimes disabled "Known Host" button that prevented changing the +Known Hosts when editing a Building Block Definition draft version. +
