In bedatadriven/activityinfo-R: R interface to ActivityInfo.org, an information management software for humanitarian and development operations

[4.38]

• New vignettes on grant-based roles, advanced user management (bulk actions), and advanced role use-cases (#122, #133)
• Improved metadata on getRecords() to include last time modified (#26, #39)
• Improved getDatabaseUsers() to include recent metadata fields (locked, userLicenseType, activitationStatus etc.) (#128, #130)
• Improved testthat snapshot functions and removing snapshots that depend on the server

[4.37]

• Legacy roles are no longer supported from 4.37 onwards
• Potential breaking change: the maxDepth parameter in column styles is now set to two by default; parent and reference columns no longer expand indefinitely
• New functions for new role and permissions system (#114)
• Added ability to update sub-forms (#119)
• Addressed cyclic structures in reference columns and parent forms and added maxDepth parameter to column styles. (#132)

[4.36.1]

• Fix for importRecords() when the form has a serial number (#124)

[4.36]

• API tokens are now stored per root URL of the server. The token will need to be added again using activityInfoToken(token). The location of the token file has changed from "~/.activityinfo.credentials" to "~/.activityinfo.server.credentials" to avoid accidentally overwriting and losing the old tokens. (#101)
• Column name de-duplication in getRecords() (#118)
• Updated GitHub Action checks (#116)
• Snapshot tests allow new properties
• Allow custom IDs in addRecord (#111, #104)
• Billing account info functions (#97)
• API Token now stored per root URL (#101)
• Only add parent columns to query if there are fields defined on parentVarNames (#103)

[4.35.1]

• Fix for getQuantityTable() (#115)

[4.35]

• addForm() now respects folderId argument (#93)
• Add "bulk_delete", "manage_translations", and "reviewer_only" arguments to permissions (#91)
• createFormSchemaFromData() now returns formSchema object rather than list with formSchema and data
• updateRecord() fails if the record does not exist, rather than adding it (#43)
• Dependency on rjson removed

[4.34]

• dplyr is loaded onto the search path when activityinfo is loaded
• documentation improvements

[4.33]

• getRecords() added to represent remote records on the server with helper functions to set column name styles, e.g. prettyColumnStyle(), minimalColumnStyle()
• Support for tidy selection and renaming of columns of remote records
• Eager collection of remote records and conversion to data.frame when required for dplyr verbs. filter(), arrange(), slice_head, and slice_tail() can be used on remote records before downloading and converting to a data.frame.
• migrateFieldData() added to migrate data from a field to another using a user-supplied conversion function
• createFormSchemaFromData() added to automatically guess a form field schema from a data.frame
• extractSchemaFromFields() added to extract form fields into a new form schema using the selected columns of a remote records object (getRecords()), including those from reference form fields.
• Deprecation of importTable() in favour of importRecords().
• getDatabases(), getDatabaseUsers(), getRecordHistory() now returns a data.frame by default.

[4.32]

• Helper functions to create ActivityInfo form and field schemas (#32)
• Improve documentation and examples in package website (#35)
