The list below represents the features, updates, and fixes included in the GA Release build 4.0.80
Breaking Changes
Orbita will provide limited support for Internet Explorer 11 from this release. Internet Explorer supported features in Orbita
As an admin user, if you want to notify the IE11 chatbot users to use a different browser, you can provide them with the message “Unsupported Browser IE. Please use Chrome or Firefox.“To achieve this, you have to navigate to the Experience Designer > Bot Manager/Chatbot tab > Bot View Template node > Custom JS tab and place the below code.
Sample code
Code Block |
---|
function isIE() { const ua = window.navigator.userAgent; const msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE '); // IE 10 or older const trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/'); //IE 11 return (msie > 0 || trident > 0); } function ShowIEAlert(){ if(isIE()){ var content = '<div class="messageHolder"><div class="message"><h4>Unsupported Browser IE. Please use Chrome or Firefox.</h4></div></div>'; setTimeout(function() { $('body').empty(); $('body').html(content); }, 800); } } ShowIEAlert(); |
Screenshot
The OrbitaENGAGE Side menu now contains Dashboards instead of Insights. To access Insights, log in via Experience Manager.
From this release, the The Survey and Taxonomy are hidden agents have been deprecated and are no longer available from the project side menu. Please These agents can be enabled if needed, please reach out to support@orbita.ai to have them enabled for your environment. These features will be removed permanently from a future release, so consider using Orbita Answers instead of Taxonomy and Flow Studio in place of Surveys.
Experience Manager
Optimized the time taken when deploying flows in the Experience Designer that contains a larger number of sub-flows.
As an admin user, you can now add Email templates at the project level. If you try to edit a global email template for the first time, a local copy will be created at the project level.
For new environments, only 5 global email templates will be available by default.
CalendarInvite
Forgotpassword
Inviteuser
LoginAttempt
Admininvite
This release will bring you a new interface for Orbita Experience Manager. Please refer to this Orbita New UI for a quick tour of the new UI.
Experience Designer
Previously, whenever you used a directive in a function node, you needed to connect the directive with a say node to render the directive. This has been improved. Now, you can use directives in function nodes without having to connect them to the say nodes.
Directive with Say node
Directive without Say node
Selecting the email template in the Send email node will preview the template in the node
Adaptive Cards
Adaptive cards now support the masking of passwords. As an adaptive card designer, you have to set the placeholder as
Password
to get the password field masked.

How it is rendered in the Chatbot
Answers
You can now define multiple values for a word or phrase in Utterances, Answers questions, etc.
For exampe, in Answers, if you have multiple questions such as"how does the covid spread",
"how does the virus spread",
"how does the infection spread"
you can combine them in one question"how does the {covid | virus | infection} spread"
for the same effect.
Chatbot
In the Project side menu > Chatbot settings > Settings tab, you can now use the reprompt wait time by assigning a value greater than zero.
If the
rePromptWaitTime
property is not set, it will take the default value as zero.If the
rePromptWaitTime
property is already set to a positive value, it will be maintained after the upgrade.
You can now render the chatbot responses in an array format.
Previously we used to send payload response to the chatbot as an object and hence we are not rendering the response in the user-defined order. Now, we can send the payload as an array to the chatbot, and the chatbot will recognize the array structure and render the response in that order.
For more info on the usage, refer Chatbot Response in Array Format
General Improvements
Fixed a bug that occasionally throws an error and doesn't allow you to save the Adaptive Card Host Configuration.
In Adaptive Cards designer, the Orbita-host-config dropdown is not working. This bug is now fixed.
In Answers, even if the topics and relationships are used in facts, they are tagged as unused. This bug is now fixed.
The error that occurs when uploading an image in the Message Center of the Clinician portal is now fixed.
Also added a confirmation popup to notify that the image is uploaded successfully.When you edit an existing fact and try to save it, the edited content is not getting saved. This bug is now fixed.
