Several Core Matcher web UI elements have been redesigned to provide an enhanced user experience:

  • Core Records grid and details view
Additionally, performance improvements now reduce the processing time when there is a large number of new records.

  • Peloton WellView
  • IHS Petra
  • IHS Kingdom

  • Translation values for illustrated names and descriptions can be defined in Data Illustrator Template.
