Version 5.2: Adding Two-Factor Authentication

On December 9, 2022, BARS Group (part of Rostec State Corporation) announced the release of the SVODY platform 5.2. According to the developers, as a result of the modernization, the analytics module has been strengthened and information security has been increased .

The updated version of the product introduced nine developments and implemented over 60 improvements. The key ones according to BARS Group are:

• compliance with information security standards (by classes K1, K2 and K3). The "CVODY" 5.2 platform meets the requirements for personal data information security. Two-factor authentication is implemented, the number of parallel sessions under one account is limited, inactive users are automatically blocked.
• Compare the current report form line data with the report form build history record. Now, in addition to checking the validity and completeness of the data, you can see the cells in which the information changed after collecting the summary report: their system will mark with a red fill.
• 15% reduction in memory consumption when unloading printing plates in.xlsx format.
• added the ability to work in the desktop version of the application. This is implemented thanks to the use of the Electron framework. It allows you to run the application on users' computers and use their resources to run the system. Visually, the desktop and cloud versions are no different from each other.
• the analytical potential of the system has been increased: the functionality of creating analytical samples without involving developers has been expanded.
• protocol authorization LDAP for operating system Astra Linux Special Edition Smolensk. This allows you to work with the organization's user directory and eliminates the duplication of account administration.

When creating new applications, you can specify a depersonalized data mode that provides a high level of protection for users' personal information. In general, the system implemented the possibility of using GOST algorithms for hashing.

Since 2016, "CVs" have been included register of domestic software in and, thanks to flexible integration with other the Russian IT products, are the basis for the development of the import-independent. ON The transition from any foreign solution to this platform is carried out without loss of quality and functionality, according to BARS Group.

Version 5.1.1: Expanding Institutional Information

On September 14, 2022, BARS Group (part of Rostec State Corporation) announced the update of the SVODA reporting collection solution to version 5.1.1.

Integration of SVODOV 5.1 with the partner solution Analytic Workspace opened up prospects in terms of analytics. For example, you recently added a report view, a PivotTable. This means that in the updated version 5.1.1, the presence of pivot tables allows not only to compile reports, but also to conduct multidimensional analysis with a visual representation of the data.

One of the key tools of the system is the mechanism for collecting summary reports, which is constantly being modernized. This release expanded information (attributes) about institutions when selecting them during the launch of functionality. This allows you to obtain more complete information about the organizations from which the vault is assembled, and to flexibly filter the source data. Especially relevant for those who collect reporting in different sections. Similarly, the directory of institutions was improved, which simplifies its administration.

Finalization of logs (information on user activities) continues as planned. Now they can be easily processed by third-party programs, track user actions in a convenient format and quickly respond to errors. In the near future, it is planned to complete work and make changes throughout the system. The option of uploading tables to a file with the.xlsx extension was also implemented, so that you can quickly and without additional programs exchange the necessary information.

The Message Center platform module allows you to send messages within the system and duplicate them to users' mail. As part of the updates, this functionality has been improved: administrators have the opportunity to change the text of message templates used in automatic mailing and flexibly customize them to suit the needs of each project, as well as save the original type of text formatting when duplicating it to e-mail.

The company noted that the platform not only expanded its functionality, but was also successfully tested on the Astra Linux Orel operating system on the Baikal processor. The product can work smoothly and efficiently on domestic processors.

Our company has always been and remains customer-oriented, we listen to the needs of users and take them into account in our work. After switching to version 5, "CVODA" refused to support the desktop version of the application due to the import substitution policy and the impossibility of supporting the old solution. But we see the need and importance for users to work in the local version of the application, and in the next releases it will be released, "said Anatoly Mladshev, Deputy General Director of BARS Group.

Version 5.1: Improving Safety and Analytical Tools

On April 22, 2022, the company BARS Group (a subsidiary, National Center for Informatization part of) State corporation Rostec announced the release of an updated version of its reporting solution - "Codes" 5.1. Platform components are complete import-substituted and allow you to work on all open ones. operating systems In addition, "Vaults" are able to partially replace the functionality of a foreign solution -. SAP Business Planning and Consolidation

In this version, the transition to .NET 6 was carried out, as a result of which the speed of some processes was increased, for example, the opening of reporting forms accelerated by 1.5 times. Libraries and components have been updated to improve product security. An improvement has also been implemented - OpenID authentication. To work in several systems, it is enough to log in only once.

A distinctive feature of this version is the refusal to support its own analytics module and integration with the domestic analytical solution "Analytic Workspace." This opens up wide possibilities for users: analysis of large amounts of data, visual design of the result, etc.

In the "Vaults" 5.1, the functionality of system administration was again added, including the transfer of the main article: data to the archive, editing the connection to the database, cleaning system tables and customizing the history of stored objects.

Among the updates are the ability to change the source code of analytical reports, work with regional directories, options for managing institution cards, download and use the state address register (GAR).

"It's important for us that users are comfortable working on our system. Thus, the expansion of the functionality of "Vaults" automates internal processes and optimizes time for routine tasks. We have another goal - to implement work with reporting forms larger than 1 gigabyte. This will be possible thanks to the storage format, which will also make it easier to interact with third-party BI systems, " told Anatoly Mladshev, Deputy General Director of BARS Group

As of April 2022, more than 200 projects have been implemented on the Svody platform, in which more than 100 thousand users work throughout Russia. The system covers such socially significant areas as education, health care, sports, culture, social protection.

2021: Platform update to version 5

On August 26, 2021, BARS Group (a subsidiary of the National Center for Informatization, part of the Rostec State Corporation) announced the update of the Svoda reporting platform to version 5 - now it has an updated design and improved functionality.

In this version, the platform toolkit has been significantly expanded: it became possible to simultaneously work with several reporting forms in one tab, the functionality has been completely redesigned, which allows customers with an unstable Internet connection to upload the necessary reporting forms from the system and work with them offline, and then upload data back.

In "Vaults" 5, the web application of the report form designer is implemented. Now, to work with report forms, you do not need to install a separate program on your computer. Going to the web makes it possible to access the setup from anywhere where there is an Internet, and small edits can be made quickly, even through the phone. It is important that you can use the Report Form Designer to create a screen or add a printed report form without third-party software.

"Sector organizations state will be able to create competence centers on the basis of the Svody platform. The main goal of such centers will be to ensure the implementation of new and updating of existing reporting forms without additional costs for, "- budget noted Deputy General Director of BARS Group Anatoly Mladshev.

It should be noted that all sections of the system use the same rules for working with components and windows, which simplifies interaction with new sections and helps to quickly rebuild work with the interface. By reducing the number of clicks, access to form functions has become 2 times faster. Also, as part of the updates, the visual capabilities of the platform were expanded. Users can select themes from the suggested themes, or create their own.

The introduction of universal integration services greatly facilitates reporting in the "Codes" 5, which was the beginning of the transition to a microservice architecture and is the next round of system development. In addition, an application has been implemented through which clients can debug the work of report forms and their APIs (additional libraries for working with programs).

The main features of the system for the customer: reducing the cost of collecting reports, increasing the speed and quality of management decisions made for managers, minimizing error probabilities and ensuring the necessary level of quality of reporting data.

According to the developer, as of August 26, 2021, more than 200 projects have been implemented on the Svody platform, in which more than 100 thousand users work throughout Russia. All system components are fully import-replaceable and allow you to work on all open operating systems, including those that are certified for the requirements of the FSB and FSTEC. The system covers such socially significant areas as education, health care, sports, culture, social protection.

Version 4.1: Modified Reference Storage Format and Reduced Query Time

BARS Group on June 25, 2020 announced the release of the next version of the Vody reporting platform 4.1.

It completely revised the directories - the format of their storage was changed, which made it possible to significantly increase performance and reduce the time for executing requests - according to some of the indicators by 2.5 times. The format of creating regional directories has also changed, which allow finalizing federal directories for the needs of institutions.

Improvement in terms of working with control ratios (methods of checking the correctness of input data) has been implemented. When outputting the protocol, it became possible not only to check the links, but also to go into the form with their original values. Additional changes in the links made it possible to check not only numerical values, but also data of other types.

The WEB has added the ability to display users a more detailed progress bar for printing plates and treatments. This was done for projects in which the process of working out these actions takes a long time.

The presented version of "Vaults" for June 2020 has already been launched at several enterprises. We strive to make our user feel comfortable working with our platform. We have big plans for 2020, including the release of another version 5.0, with its release the user interface will be redesigned, and additional functionality of the "subscriber point" will be implemented, which will allow working with forms offline, - said Deputy General Director Anatoly Mladshev.

Version 4.0: Transition to.NET Core 3.1 and support for Astra Linux Common Edition

BARS Group on February 27, 2020 announced the release of the next version of its most replicated reporting solution - "Vaults" 4.0.

A distinctive feature of the version is the transition to.NET Core 3.1, which allows you to work with various operating systems web servers applications, including operating systems based on. kernels Linux It also supports the operation of the platform on, in operating system Astra Linux Common Edition connection with this it import substitution is a great advantage of the solution.

Starting with this version of the platform, a different role model configuration format is used, it allows you to configure role permissions in more detail, create others based on existing ones, and also simplifies the work of the administrator.

In the released version of the decision, they abandoned the use of the address classifier of the Russian Federation (KLADR), it was replaced by the federal information address system (FIAS). To simplify the work of administrators, an automatic download of data directly from the Federal Information Address System database was added. The download is available both in full size and as part of the latest update. Since the System is not only the most replicated, but one of the longest existing on the market, a function has become necessary - the division of the base into archival and current. And also the system began to support data storage on the file server, this functionality allows you to reduce the size of databases for those who need to store a large number of documents in the system.

{{quote 'author = noted Deputy General Director Anatoly Mladshev' One of the main goals for 2020, we see for ourselves the transfer to the "cloud" of the designer of reporting forms, which will reduce the requirements for the user to develop forms and significantly simplify their creation. Also, the key task is to completely redesign the interface, which will make the usual "Vaults" more convenient and attractive for our users, }}

2019

Update of Devexpress software package, system acceleration, import substitution

On May 17, 2019, BARS Group announced the update of the Svody reporting platform. The result of the work was an acceleration of the system, movement towards import substitution and a number of other changes that will make the "Vaults," according to the developer, more convenient for users.

As noted in BARS Group, one of the main improvements is an update to the 18th version of the Devexpress software package, which is used to render the user interface in a desktop application. This expands the possibilities for working in the win-client, and also allows you to open several forms in one window horizontally and vertically. Previously, there was no such function, and its addition makes the user's work more convenient.

To speed up the system, its optimization was carried out. Also, for convenience, a large number of user parameters have been added: among the changes is the ability to establish a relationship between the parameters, which allows you to set more accurate selection conditions when forming them, according to BARS Group.

Fixed the behavior of the system when working with forms in which the metastructure has changed: if users have already filled in the data, then changing the structure will not lead to their loss.

As part of the import substitution policy, a platform-level rejection of the foreign development package (Syncfusion), which is designed to form documents for MS Office, was carried out . The module was replaced with its own development based on open solutions, according to BARS Group.

According to the developer, the system configuration options have been expanded - you can update the platform and project APIs through a web application, without direct connection to the server, also change the connection to the database and roll up migrations.

Among other updates: added the ability to download images in forms opened in read mode, expanded variations in the display of the ability to upload printed forms, the ability to update the starter for the administrator through the reference version, etc.

According to the developer, in the future it is planned to switch to.net core for web applications, which will allow them to be deployed on web-servers s. OS LINUX

Version 3.0

On January 17, 2019, BARS Group announced that it had updated the Svoda reporting solution to version 3.0. As a result of the updates, the platform switched to the Russian PostgreSQL DBMS, ensured that individual business processes of the client were taken into account when configuring report forms, and also accelerated the collection of reports in organizations with an extensive structure.

According to the company, among the main improvements to version 3.0 is the implementation of all scenarios for the transition of the "Code" to the Russian DBMS PostgreSQL. In previous versions, the platform functioned on Oracle. Such refinement will allow BARS Group to flexibly approach the customer's demand regarding the implementation of various types of DBMS in the platform, which is especially important for the corporate sector.

In "Vaults 3.0" it is possible to configure a status model, which allows you to change the model for passing puffiness - in the previous version only one collection scenario was implemented. data For January 2019, the system can create the process of forming, filling out and coordinating reports that is built in the business process of a particular customer. In addition, it is possible to flexibly configure report templates in the event of changes in both legislation and internal regulations.

Among the updates is the configuration of the summary form format, which allows you to quickly and more conveniently collect reports from an organization with an extensive organizational structure. The functionality of the WEB version has also been expanded, the restriction system has been redesigned and the login is implemented, SSL which is cryptographic a protocol that provides secure login.

2015: Update of BARC.Web-Vaults 2.0 system

On January 31, 2015, BARS Group announced the renovation of BARC.Web-Code 2.0 in terms of collection, verification and consolidation of reports.

The new version simplifies the web designer of reporting forms, adds a flexible status model for setting up reconciliation chains, an improved control ratio editor, and deep integration with the Alpha BI business intelligence platform.

2010: Architecture. Connection methods. Multiplatform

Solution Architecture

The BARC.Web-Codes system provides the ability to maintain a single centralized database in the parent organization responsible for collecting and consolidating reports, with the provision of remote secure access for accountable organizations.

The system has a three-link architecture:

• Data Warehouse (DBMS);
• Application server implementing the System functionality. The application server operates on the basis of a remote access server (Web server);
• Thin desktop client with remote access. [1]

4 methods of connection to the System are implemented.

• Windows client is used when there are high-speed communication channels. In this case, the client software is installed on the user computer;

• Remote access to the System is provided by the Web client. Connection to the System is carried out through an Internet browser. Through the Web client, those institutions that do not have an Internet connection can also be handed over. To do this, you need to transfer data from the storage medium at the nearest communication point;

• Smart client - allows you to work in the System with a temporary connection and unstable communication channels;

• The mobile client provides connection from mobile devices. On the mobile communicator, users get access to all the functionality of the System.

Functional characteristics

The functional characteristics of BARC.Web-Codes are aimed at operating the System in organizations with a multi-level hierarchy of subordinate organizations and collecting, consolidating and analyzing both regulatory and non-regulatory reporting.

Variety of reporting forms

The reporting form is the basis for collecting information in BARC.Web-Summary. The system includes many types of forms, including forms consisting of many tables, and forms with attached reference books, Doc and Excel documents. The possibility of visual monitoring by collecting video and photo images is implemented. All report forms are available to users in the Web interface.

Self-development

The built-in BARS-Designer subsystem allows users to independently create reporting forms and analytical samples without involving specialists. With BARS-Designer, it is possible to create new forms by exporting templates from reference and legal systems. The system is designed to promptly collect any ad hoc reporting.

Delineation of access to information

Access to the information of the Unified Storage is strictly delimited based on the user's authority. The parent organization has access to the reporting forms of all institutions. The bodies in the structure of the organization below have access only to the data of their subordinate network. The usual operator can only access the data of his institution. Restrictions on access to individual reporting forms and to individual elements of reporting forms up to the cell have been implemented. Restrictions may apply to viewing and editing data, checking links, changing states, etc.

Monitoring the process of filling out reporting forms

This procedure ensures the control of the parent organization over the timely delivery of indicators by subordinate organizations. Each reporting form is assigned a specific state:

• The only state in which you can fill out the form is "draft."

• Having entered the data, the institution transfers it to a "full" state. In this state, internal and interform control ratios (bindings) are checked.

• In the "checked" state, a higher institution can check the form.

• The higher institution transfers the form to the status of "examination." After that, the accountable institution can no longer change anything in it. All data is checked by the parent organization and if errors are found, the form is transferred to the "draft" state. After that, the institution corrects its mistakes and repeats the entire cycle.

• When the parent organization finally checks the form, it puts it in the approved status.

Check with reference ratios

The system checks the validity of the entered data at the stage of information collection by creating internal and cross-form links.

Presence of EDS The System implements the function of signing reporting forms with an electronic digital signature (EDS) using a certified means of cryptographic format of information protection based on the crypto provider CRYPTO MISSILE. The certified reporting form is assigned the status "signed by the EDS."

Built-in OLAP in Windows and Web interfaces

The system provides full work with OLAP reports in all online modes, both in desktop application mode (Windows client) and in remote user mode using any Internet browser (Web client). You can select any section to create analytical samples.

Visualization of Information Presentation

The system provides visualization of information using graphic diagrams (histograms, graphs, pie charts, etc.) in the form of two- and three-dimensional graphic objects. A total of 33 types of graphic objects are implemented.

Independent Profile System

This feature is designed for organizations consisting of several structural divisions. Institutions delimited by profiles submit indicators to the Unified Repository, while each of the profiles has its own reporting hierarchy and forms. The administrator of the System has access to all profiles and, if he has the appropriate rights, he can summarize information from different profiles.

Multi-platform and free software compatibility

The solution is multi-platform and can function on Windows, Linux, Apple platforms and use Microsoft Office, Open Office to generate outputs.
