Exciting New Updates

to Walchem Fluent® – V1.17 & V1.18!

Walchem’s Engineering team is constantly working to enhance and improve our products, and Walchem Fluent is no exception. While software updates may often go unnoticed, we want to ensure you’re aware of the significant improvements we’ve made in recent releases. We’re thrilled to announce that Fluent has been upgraded to V1.17 in late July and V1.18 as of mid-November. Our next update is already in development! 

While many of the changes are technical improvements behind the scenes, there are several notable updates that you’ll be able to see and take advantage of. Here's a breakdown of what's new:

V1.17 July Updates

Bulk Controller Transfer for Distributors

Distributors can now transfer multiple controllers to their clients in a single action, making the process faster and more efficient.


Improved Search Functionality

The search function now properly handles the "&" character. Previously, searches containing "&" would only include text before and after, but now you can search for complete company names that include the “&” symbol.


Fixed Repeated Escalation Emails

When escalation was first released, the initial or primary recipients would not only get their emails, but then with every escalation email, they would be copied on each of these as well. This corrects the emails so that everyone at each level only gets one email (the primary can also be added as an escalation recipient if desired).


Improved Channel/Subchannel Handling in Client API

We've streamlined the way channels and subchannels are represented in the Client API. Previously, a channel would be listed multiple times for each of its sub-channels. Now, sub-channels will be listed together in a group under their respective channel. (i.e., “Channel: Flowmeter 1 / { Subchannel: Rate, Subchannel: Total }


Enhanced Client API Documentation

Improved Client API documentation on Swagger page


Other Improvements

A variety of small enhancements and bug fixes have been implemented to improve overall functionality and performance.


V1.18 November Updates

API Token Expiration

A Security enhancement feature which adds the OPTION to make API Tokens expire after (1-12) months as well as support for a 2nd Token simultaneously. This enables companies to periodically renew their API Token and expire old ones to help protect their data.


Expanded Swagger Documentation

Added examples of what Fluent sends in the Client API's HTTPS POSTs


Other Improvements

A variety of small enhancements and bug fixes have been implemented to improve overall functionality and performance.
