IHS Markit is pleased to announce the v11.5 release of our Enterprise Data Management (EDM) software which is now generally available.
The highlights of this release are:
Markdown
- Text Label UI element and Email Data Porter now both support Markdown syntax for rich text rendering
- Users can enter Markdown marked-up text which gets rendered into HTML
- Placeholders can be used for text to be replaced during the conversion from Markdown to HTML
- Custom HTML is disallowed to prevent the possibility of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks
Heat Map
- New Heat Map Data Generator element displays colour-coded values in a grid
- Colours represent value bands (such as red for hot or green for not)
- Similar to Microsoft Excel conditional formatting
Charts
- Kendo UI Charts introduced for improved visualisation and customisation
- New Chart UI elements include Line Chart, Bar Chart, Area Chart, Pie Chart, Scatter Chart, and Multi-Plot Chart
Always-On
- Ability to mark a solution as Always-On so that components will execute with better performance
- Always-On solutions are pre-loaded into memory on the application server through the Process Launcher Service
Version control
- New components no longer being checked in (and out again) on first save, until explicitly checked in
- Change Sets now supported for Subversion, Team Foundation Server (TFS), and Database version control providers
Navigation
- New standard navigation menu (site map) to navigate through to the available workflow screens in the Web UI
- No need to "build your own" on every screen
Other changes
- Markit EDM now supports SQL Server 2016, with the minimum required version still being SQL Server 2008
