See here what's new to the KPN Things Portal!
We aim to release updates as soon as we finish them. In these updates you can expect new features, upgrades of existing features and fixes
This is our first release of 2023. To start the year with a clean slate, we cleaned up a large part of our code base so we can bring you nice features this year. Also:
The Connectivity page is extended. Now it is possible to easily select all connectivities (across all pages) with just a few clicks.
We changed an url validation on the Destination Details page.
Added
The changes you make to how a table is displayed (column visibility and ordering) are now remembered. That means that the next time you visit the table, you will find it just like you left it.
The changes you make to the filtering of a table are also remembered, and filtering is now part of the URL, meaning that you can share your view of a table by just copying the URL.
Changed
You can no longer configure the device twin to display only certain values from the device message. You will simply get all the values that the device emits.
Fixed
We fixed a number of issues in the All customers table.
Added
Introduced an All Devices page (crossing boundaries) for the lucky few who also have access to the All Customers page.
Bulk change Comm and Rate Plans for testers.
Changed
Links in tables can now be opened in a new tab. Hold the CTRL or Command key to take advantage.
Rearranged columns in Connectivity for clarity.
Fixed
Tooltip bugfix on HTTPS Destination form.

We added the new 'Synchronized' column to the All Connectivity table (hidden by default). This column tells you when the Connectivity was last synchronized with its source (e.g. Cisco Jasper).
Fixed
Some bug fixes and small improvements.
Added
In the devices table you can now use the 'in' filter on a column to search for devices by a list of names, deveuis, imeis or dvnuuids.
Changed
Pressing Enter in filter field now triggers application.
Added
Improved the empty state of tables.
Added
We added an 'Add new Flow' button to the Flows overview. We already had that button on the project, but adding it to the flows overview makes it easier to find and brings it more in line with other overview pages.

This is the first Things Portal version delivered through our brand new Continuous Deployment. Expect more frequent improvements and when needed, faster fixes.
Improved filtering on devices overview
Improved flows overview
Added
We added a column to the table on the devices page that shows the connectivity status of each device. We also put the search field back, and we improved the filtering on the columns of the table.
On the device detail page of a LoRa device that resolves location data, we added information about what method was used to resolve the location. So if you've always wondered if RSSI or TDAO was used, now you know!
For the real power users we introduced the possibility to activate and deactivate device connectivity in bulk. We'll be adding a lot of bulk functionality in the future so expect to see new features pop up!
Fixed
Selecting all devices out of a very large list was broken. We fixed that. Now when you select all devices, you're really selecting all of them.
Added
We log client side errors now to make it easier to find problems that things users may experience.
Changed
We're improving the usability of tables. We're currently working on the devices table.

Device Twin: you can now reset all reported states so that any previously created attributes that were not used can be removed.
We build in an extra check to make sure that device limits can't be exceeded and that devices can not be added to expired projects or have invalid device specifications.
We slightly changed the page style: more uplifting background and rounded corners. This way we are more in line with the new MijnKPN Zakelijk style.
Device Twin: you can now set metadata even before you have added the Device to a Flow, configured the Device Twin, and received the first Reported state for a Device.
Device Twin: we added a refresh button for you to refresh only the Device Twin without having to reload the whole page.
When adding a Device while you have multiple Projects, you now will be asked to select the Project to which you want to add your Device.
The column Flows has been added to the All Devices page, such that you can check which Devices are not yet added to a Flow.
The columns on the All Connectivity page have been updated: we added the columns Device name, APN, and Bundle/rate plan, and removed the column Flows.

Learn more about the Device Twin and how to get a Twin for your Device!
The Raw LoRa Payload decoder is now available for all supported Device types.
Starting today, all your Devices will always belong to one Project. With this change we prepare for the future, where customers can have multiple Projects in order to express different commercial contexts/contracts. And since different contracts can mean different things you can do with a Device, we need to know to which commercial context/contract a Device belongs. Next release we will introduce a Flows column on the All Devices page, allowing you to again see which Devices are (not yet) linked to Flows.
Coming from the GRIP Developer Portal, you will automatically log into the KPN Things Portal after clicking the KPN Things tile. Previously you still had to click on "Log in" on the Things Portal.
When in a sub-customer environment, the Your profile link would not work anymore. This is now fixed.
We added an optional field in the registration form to provide a phone number. We will use this phone number to contact you for commercial talk if you want.
