| Optimized export of users – part 1 |  Mar 2024 | Apr 2024 |
Business value
The optimization of the user export feature will be a massive time-saver for organizations with large numbers of users. Currently, such clients are potentially unable to use Continia Expense Management for extended periods of time whenever they export users, as the system may be locked while the export is in progress. The new and optimized feature will drastically reduce the amount of system downtime and any frustrations resulting from this.
Feature details
In order to align user permissions and similar between Expense Management and the Contina Web Approval Portal, it's occasionally necessary to export user data to Continia Online – for example using the Export Users action on the Continia Users page.
This user export feature will now be improved in various ways. The improvements will be implemented in two stages as follows:
Improvement stage 1: Before exporting all user information, Expense Management will check if any changes have been made to any users. Only if so, all user information will be exported, meaning that you avoid exporting data unnecessarily. This change will be implemented in Expense Management 2024 R1, to be released in April 2024.
Improvement stage 2: Instead of exporting all user data every time one or more minor changes have been made, only the changed information will be exported. This will not only reduce the amount of data to export but also the export time. The change is planned for release in October 2024, as part of Expense Management 2024 R2.
An article with more details about this feature will be published no later than April 29, 2024.
