Aspenware Commerce 3.0 introduces a new SQL reporting plugin called Nop-Station Sql Manager.
Due to the expiration of the previous SQL reporting plugin, Nop4U SqlReport, Aspenware has replaced it with Nop-Station Sql Manager. This tool has a slightly different UI but offers the same reporting tools. All reports your resort uses will be ported to the new system.
| Note |

IMPORTANT: Any resort taking Commerce 3.0 or later for the first time will need to install and enable the Nop-Station Sql Manager plugin with the license provided by Aspenware. |
Detailed Setup Guide
If you currently use SQL reporting, your Aspenware Service Agent will install your new Nop-Station Sql Manager plugin and add your license key. At this point, you can use and see all of your existing reports.
If you don’t currently use SQL reports, talk with your Service Agent to learn more about implementing them.
To install the Nop-Station Sql Manager plugin:
Go to Configuration > Local Plugins > Find and install Nop-Station Sql Manager.
...
Go to Nop Station > Core Settings > License.
Enter the license key given to you by your Aspenware Service Agent.

Cloud UI 1.2 introduces a initial separate UI that can be used for most product detail pages, extending on the 1.0 release, which enabled separate UI for the Pricing Calendar. Cloud UI is our standalone application layer that decouples frontend code from the nopCommerce backend. Separating the UI from the API infrastructure provides the following benefits:
More frequent, lower-risk frontend-only releases
Creation of distinct, releasable units
Shift toward a modern application server framework
Improved page load performance over time as more of the site is migrated to this framework
The Cloud UI is the foundation for our upcoming redesign of the shopping pages.

IMPORTANT: While Cloud UI is supported for most product detail pages, there are some features and configuration options that are not yet supported in the Cloud UI, that will continue to work if loaded on legacy. In this guide we detail which product detail pages should NOT be moved over and detail how to ensure that these products continue to load and work on the legacy UI, while other (supported) products will load in the new separate Cloud UI. |
Detailed Setup Guide
Most products are Cloud UI compatible, but there are some exceptions. For these exception products, there is a new product-level setting that enables some products to continue to load for users in the legacy UI, and for the majority of products to load in the new Cloud UI. To flag a product so that it continues to load in the legacy ui, find the product from Catalog > Products >Edit.
A new product-level setting called “Use Legacy Product Page” has been added to the set of Aspenware Commerce settings that should only be turned on if a product is incompatible with the Cloud UI (details below).
...
Which products are incompatible with Cloud UI V1?
If a product has any of the following features/configurations enabled on the PDP it should NOT load on the Cloud UI and should be flagged to continue to display legacy PDP. These products will continue to work so long as they are not loaded on Cloud UI.
