We’re pleased to announce that the next release of Soprano is now available for preview. This release includes:

• Soprano users can now change their password when it has expired
• Fix to the display of Operator IDs in the Till roll

Soprano users can now change their password when it has expired

Now, if an operator is enabled to change their password, when they enter their existing expired credentials the system will prompt them to change their password. This feature requires LDS 2.9.39.

After entering their existing Operator ID and expired Password, the operator is prompted to re-enter their old password followed by the new one twice.

Once they have entered the details then the system confirms the password has been changed and invites them to log in using the new password.

All the usual conditions apply, e.g. if password quality rules have been configured (length of password, mixture of upper and lower case characters), the new password must conform to these rules.

Fix to the display of Operator IDs in the Till roll

Towards the bottom of each receipt the system shows the label Op ID with two IDs in. Now when the Till roll is viewed online it will show the value held in the database for both of these details. This fix requires LDS 2.9.39.
