#Pre-request and post-response scripting in Multi-step API monitors

We have enabled custom pre-request and post-response scripting for steps in Multi-step API monitors. The Multi-step API monitor type supports many built-in options to configure requests and handle the response, but for some use cases, extra flexibility or functionality may be required. The new scripting tabs allow users to apply and execute Javascript code to the request and the response for each step, including special functions to interact with the rest of the monitor settings.

With some scripting, this will allow for maximum flexibility to configure the request or response handling in exactly the way you require.

#Updates to the transaction recorder

We have updated our transaction recorder, including a graphical overhaul, and several new features. These new features include:

• A new context-sensitive right-click menu in the recorder browser allowing users to add Hover, Wait for element, and Test document content (when text on the page is highlighted) actions, while making the recording. These actions will no longer need to be added afterwards!
• The ability to add Key event actions directly from the recorder interface. The recorder can not record actions such as pressing the enter key after filling in credentials, but such an action can now be added using the '+ Add keyboard action' button in the recorder.

#New permission: View/Edit/Create operator

We’ve introduced a new type of Permission: the Operator permissions. This permission type allows for control over who has visibility on which operators or operator groups. Also, it allows for non-Administrator operators to be given the permission to add new operators to the account.

Note that by default, the Everyone operator group has the ‘See operators’ permission on the Everyone group, meaning that every operator in the account can see every other operator in the account. This permission can be removed in the settings of the Everyone operator group.
