Installing assets to remove Flash dependencies

You can now remove all Flash dependencies for charts, widgets, and editors for all IBM® Cúram Social Program Management 7.0 versions. Download and install two software assets, one for charts and widgets, the other for editors. Charts and widgets are replaced with new modern interfaces, and editors are replaced with new stand-alone versions.

Note: The development of Adobe Flash is being transferred to the company Harman, who have browser solutions that extend beyond 2020. The browser solutions are paid solutions.

Editor Applications asset

Use this asset to enable stand-alone versions of editors that previously required Flash support in the browser for Social Program Management 7.0 or later. A client installation registers the editors so you can start them by using a URL. In addition, the Social Program Management development environment is updated to automatically start the new stand-alone editors by default. The following editors were updated:

  • Cúram Express Rules (CER) editor
  • Data Mapping editor
  • Data Store editor
  • Intelligent Evidence Gathering (IEG) editor
  • Decision Matrix editor
  • Dynamic Evidence editor

Charts and Widgets asset

Use this asset to replace chart and widgets based on Adobe Flex with responsive versions based on modern React JavaScript components for all versions of Social Program Management 7.0. Installing this asset enables all existing or new SPM 7.0 customers to move to a version of a supported browser that no longer supports Adobe Flash.

The current functionality of the charts and widgets is maintained for existing customers, with enhanced accessibility where appropriate. A new color scheme from the IBM Carbon Design System provides an accessible and enhanced user experience. Colors on certain charts were updated to meet the contrast ratio (3:1) defined by 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast (AA) in WCAG 2.1.
