Riva Insight 2022.5 Release Notes

Server version: Which version do I have? Insight Server 2022.5 Client versions: Which version do I have? Outlook Web Add-in: The Outlook Web Add-in does not have a version. It does not need to be updated with every release to take advantage of the Riva Insight Server enhancements. Outlook Windows Add-in: Get Windows Add-in version 2022.5 In order to benefit from Riva Insight's latest enhancements and improvements, we recommend using the same version of Outlook Windows add-in as the Insight Server. We do not recommend upgrading the add-in to a version that is higher than the Riva Insight Server, as we cannot guarantee it would be compatible. Release date: December 8, 2022 Cloud customers: Riva Insight services will be upgraded on 2022-12-08 On-Premise customers: For an upgrade package and to schedule an upgrade, contact the Riva Success Team. For a free 15-day trial of Riva Insight Cloud, schedule a consult.

Important Notice: Microsoft 365 'Shared Calendar Improvements' conflict with tracking meetings in shared calendars for Outlook Desktop

• Background
  • For Office365 mailboxes, Microsoft has introduced what it refers to as "Shared Calendar Improvements".
  • Shared Calendar Improvements applies changes to calendar items directly on the server.  The Riva Insight Windows Add-in makes changes to the local Outlook copy of mail items. When an item in a shared calendar is tracked, it creates a conflict has Outlook has a server copy and a client copy of the calendar item, which results in the shared calendar item not being sent when tracked.
• What do I need to do?
  • If using "Shared Calendar Improvements" with a Microsoft 365 mailbox and tracking items, you must turn off the Shared Calendar Improvements.
  • If you do not use shared calendars, do not have a Microsoft 365 mailbox, or do not track items that are in shared calendars, no changes are necessary.

Important Notice: REST API support ending for Outlook Web Add-ins

• Background
  • In November 2020, Microsoft announced they had deprecated support for their REST API.
  • In November 2022, Microsoft will be fully decommissioning their REST API.
  • Riva Insight uses the REST API for the mobile (Android and iOS) Outlook.com App (versions of Outlook Add-in deployed prior to 2022.3).
• What do I need to do?
  • If your users do not use Riva Insight on mobile, no changes are required.
  • For Insight Cloud:
    • Riva Insight on mobile will use Graph by default starting with Insight Server version 2022.4
  • For Insight On-Premise
    • If using a version of Insight Server older than 2022.3 upgrade to version 2022.4 or later
    • If using the 2022.3 version of Insight Server, refer to the steps outlined in Track in CRM on Mobile for Riva Insight Web Add-in.

Important Notice: Riva Insight is ending support for Internet Explorer

• Background
  • Microsoft has announced its plans for the End-of-Life of Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and officially ended support on June 15, 2022.
  • As a result:
    • Riva Insight releases in 2023 will no longer support Internet Explorer.
    • Issues related to Internet Explorer 11 will not be resolved.
• Will my organization be impacted? 
  • Refer to The Internet Explorer era has finally come to an end to determine if your client is using Internet Explorer as the embedded browser, and find out what steps are required to update to a client that uses Microsoft Edge Chromium (WebView2) as the embedded browser.
• What should I do if I am impacted?
  • Don't wait! Riva strongly encourages that you upgrade your Riva Insight Windows Desktop Add-in (Insight Cloud and On-Premise), and Insight Server (Insight On-Premise) to a version that supports Edge Chromium.
