00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.666
Hi. Welcome to uStore version 15.1.

00:00:03.666 --> 00:00:07.932
If you administer a uStore server, then this update is for you. 

00:00:07.933 --> 00:00:12.799
The main aim of the release is to make life easier for store administrators 

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.333
by finally bringing several frequently requested features to the back office.

00:00:18.333 --> 00:00:22.033
Starting with the ability to search for products.

00:00:22.033 --> 00:00:27.433
Drag and drop to change the sort sequence of products in their group or category.

00:00:27.433 --> 00:00:34.633
Improvements to the trigger preset page to make it easier to use. And several other improvements.

00:00:34.633 --> 00:00:37.233
Let's take a closer look at the search.

00:00:37.233 --> 00:00:42.966
When you have many products in different groups, it can be hard to find the product you want to edit. 

00:00:42.966 --> 00:00:55.366
This new search feature will look for products by name, catalog number, or External ID.

00:00:55.366 --> 00:00:59.366
A small feature but one which makes a lot of sense.

00:00:59.366 --> 00:01:07.532
Changing the order of products in their category list used to involve clicking an up or down arrow multiple times. 

00:01:07.533 --> 00:01:12.933
Now with drag and drop the process is much faster and more intuitive. 

00:01:12.933 --> 00:01:18.766
You can also select multiple products and move them together at the same time. 

00:01:18.766 --> 00:01:24.599
There is no save button. As soon as you move the products, they are resorted in the storefront.

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:28.300
In previous versions, configuring triggers was difficult. 

00:01:28.300 --> 00:01:33.700
You didn't have a lot of visible space when selecting stores, products or user groups, 

00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:39.800
and using shift and control keys for the selection was not the most user-friendly approach. 

00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:48.466
Version 15.1 makes this easier with larger selection dialogs, and more positive selection by using checkboxes.

00:01:48.466 --> 00:01:55.232
Version 15.1 has also laid the groundwork for new REST APIs for the uStore backoffice. 

00:01:55.233 --> 00:02:00.366
The infrastructure is now in place, and REST endpoints will be added in future versions. 

00:02:00.366 --> 00:02:09.032
This will permit automation of many common tasks like creating and updating products, and switching products or stores online or offline.

00:02:09.033 --> 00:02:12.399
You can see part of the work in the user group permissions area 

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:20.866
where this new setting has been added to enable creation of a user group that grants user access to the new backoffice REST APIs.

00:02:20.866 --> 00:02:25.732
By default this permission is denied for all default uStore user groups. 

00:02:25.733 --> 00:02:32.499
This setting is in addition to the existing permission for access to the Web Services APIs.

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:36.600
In addition, there has been some refactoring of SQL stored procedures 

00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:41.366
and other database changes that provide significant performance improvements.
