KNOWN LIMITATIONS

We’ve identified several known limitations that users should be aware of. These
issues are under active investigation, and we’re working diligently to address
them in future updates. Your understanding and feedback are invaluable as we
strive to enhance TiPSView for all users.

Installation:

 * SQL Servers using SQL Always on might fail during the installation,
   specifically the Alarm KB Upgrade Tool.

Organization:

 * Adding a folder in the Organization Tree automatically rearranges folders
   alphabetically, which may affect custom sorting preferences.
 * Dragging and dropping a View or Criteria from a child folder to a parent
   folder causes the source folder to close unexpectedly.
 * Linked servers for Alarm and Event databases are not working for this
   release.

Global:

 * Licensing for modules that have not been qualified, may not behave correctly.

Report:

 * Migrating emails for reports from TiPSView 4.6.1 to TiPSView 5.1 populates
   all emails in the CC list instead of distributing them between To and CC
   fields as previously defined.
 * There’s no preventative message when attempting to delete or move a database
   that is actively used in a report, which could lead to unintended loss of
   report data.
 * Access to existing report archives from TiPSView 4.6.1 is lost during
   migration.
 * The Report Editor does not support copying reports.

Workspace:

 * The Properties Panel fails to update when ‘View Source’ is selected,
   hindering real-time data reflection.

Tasks:

 * Exiting full-screen mode does not restore the Task panel to its previous
   height, affecting the user interface layout.

Notes:

 * Inputting HTML code directly into notes disrupts the note’s formatting and
   functionality.

SSRS/Power BI:

 * Criteria in location folders will not be available for selection in the
   provided SSRS reports.



Mitigation and Support: We’re committed to resolving these limitations and
enhancing the functionality of TiPSView. Should you encounter any issues or
require assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
