The highlights of this release are:
Import/Export Configuration
- Ability to export the EDM configuration and integrate it with any preferred third party version control provider to create branches and resolve conflicts during merges.
- A new 'AllConfiguration' parameter in the CADISImportExport.exe command line utility allows EDM users to export the configuration to, or import the configuration from a designated file path.
- Configuration can be imported back into EDM, allowing users to easily promote code or work across multiple branches of EDM.
Add Attribute Wizard
- New more user-friendly Add Attribute Wizard is replacing the current Add Master Attribute Wizard. The new wizard will allow EDM users to add or remove attributes to and from EDM database tables, either from a Data Constructor (current method) or a list of tables as a starting point.
- Minimal manual configuration post completion and ability to roll back and fix issues if necessary.
- The new wizard will be fully available for the EDM 19.1 General Availability release.
- New Map UI element configurable in the EDM thick client, feeding data from any database tables, as well as GeoJSON files.
- Map elements can be placed into pages and workflows for web UI display, and then exported as image files from the web UI.
- Ability to display data points individually and in clusters, as well as within selected objects on the map.
- Complements the coordinate conversion work allowing users to see the spatial relationships of data stored within EDM.
- Default condition of match attributes displays in the Match Conditions tab of the Core Matcher thick-client configuration, as well as in the Show Match Conditions tab of the Configuration UI element.
- The match, core record and results details grids in the Core Matcher web UI can be exported to Excel.
- Ability to show/hide, reorder, sort, filter and lock/unlock columns in the Source and Core Record History Detail modals. Additionally, the column width is automatically updated based on the user's screen resolution and rows can be copied into Excel.
- New Bulk Realign tool in the Match Results Details, Core Record Details and Results Details grids allowing users to realign source records to core records in bulk.
Visual improvements to the page designer in the EDM thick client to provide a more intuitive user experience:
- New horizontal and vertical grid lines in a different color
- Horizontal and vertical page ruler
- Tooltip displaying an element's dimensions and updating when the element is resized.
- New Clear Filters option in the web UI Data Generator Inbox grid toolbar.
- Ability to apply filters to a web UI Data Generator Inbox and display value distribution results based on the filtered data set.
- Position of adding new rows to the Data Generator Inbox has been updated to now appear at the bottom of the grid.
- Workflow Debug modal in the web UI has been updated to also show any variables in use that are held within nested workflow elements. Previously, only variables of the parent workflow were shown.
- When creating a new dynamic element in EDM thick client and adding underlying elements or pages that contain multiple elements, the parameters that have been enabled on the underlying child elements are automatically enabled in the parent dynamic element.
- Table Builder and Table Designer have been redesigned to allow users to quickly add new rows without prompting the New Field Specification dialog, as well as add rows in bulk.
- One or more steps in a Data Flow Sequence can now be disabled via a new Disable Step option, allowing the Data Flow to bypass them at run time.
- Verify and Create Wizard notifications have been updated so users are prompted to manually save changes to any open processes before the wizard starts running and automatically closes all open components.
- Data Porter and Data Flow components can read from and write to an Oracle table that contains a Geometry spatial data type.
- Expanded segments in a pie/doughnut chart can be closed and the associated output parameters automatically cleared.
- Data type selection list now displays in alphabetical order.
- Any HTML/data templates added to the EDM Document Object Model (DOM) tree will be removed when switching to another workflow or logging out from EDM to ensure performance is not degraded in time.
- Old binary code has been removed from EDM, so any clients on a EDM version earlier than v7.5 will not be able to upgrade directly to v19.1, but will have to upgrade to an earlier version first.
- Legacy canvas grids are no longer supported from EDM v19.1 onwards.
Please contact your client manager if you are interested in upgrading to this release.
