Auto Update

Auto Update

Auto update refers to the automated process by which the system enables to upgrade to the latest version without requiring manual intervention from the user. Auto updates enhance user experience by ensuring that the latest features, improvements, and security patches are promptly delivered to the end-users, reducing the need for manual interventions, and keeping the Designer up to date.

How to enable?

The Auto-update option can be enabled for all users in the tenant only if the tenant admin activates it in the Robility Manager. Note that the following steps can be performed only by the tenant admin:
1. Log in to the respective tenant in the Robility Manager.
2. Click on the “Features” menu.
    a. Choose the “Settings” option.
    b. A pop-up will be enabled; click on the “Designer” auto-updates option if it is disabled.
    c. By default, the option will be enabled in the tenant.
3. If users have already installed Designer, request them to relaunch the designer to refresh the changes.
4. The update will be scheduled every hour by the system and will notify the user if there are any latest versions available.
5. When the update is notified, users need to click on the “Update” option, and the latest version of Designer will be installed and launched.

Default Option

The default status of the auto-update option will depend on the configuration set by the tenant admin. Upon activation by the tenant admin, users can customize this option through the “Designer” configuration menu.

Auto-update Enabled:
1. Tenant Admin Activation: When the tenant admin activates auto-update, users will benefit from seamless updates upon installation.
2. Best Practices: Following best practices, scheduled routine maintenance windows for auto-updates are implemented to ensure a smooth and controlled update process, minimizing any potential disruptions to users.

Auto-update Disabled:
1. Tenant Admin Configuration: If the tenant admin opts to disable auto-update, users’ machines will have the auto-update option deactivated upon installation.
2. Manual Intervention: Disabling auto-update might lead to the need for manual intervention, requiring users to manually update the product to access the latest features. This approach is not recommended, especially in organizations with a larger user base.
3. Risk of Disruptions: Manually installing each version poses the risk of unwanted disruptions, making it less advisable, particularly when dealing with a substantial number of users.
