DCM R4.4 Release Notes
DCM R4.4 focuses on improving the audit capability and performance of the audit runs. One major enhancement or new feature is the "Dynamic form views" that bring more focus to fixing the attribute level deviations that really matter. Several small usability enhancements also included. Release date: 6.10.2020
New Features
| Area | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Audit | System property for not performing backward multiplicity checks for links | Skipping this checking for blueprint links will dramatically improve the audit performance and has been found not that useful information compared to other audit results. This feature will be deprecated totally in later versions, but can be used still, if really wanted by changing the default value of the new system property. |
| Data Content Planner | Dynamic form views based on Field setup | Field Setups defined for different tables can now be used to dynamically create a form view that only includes the selected fields and their conditions as instructions. These views are included in the Data Content Planner as another view when opening the Field plan for a selected records and trying to update attribute level information. This addition will bring extra focus and clarity to attributes included in the field setup that is also included in the audit. Using these Dynamic form views requires committing an Add-on that enables the form view creation. |
Enhancements
Area | Enhancement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Audit | Optimized link evaluation | Previously 0..* and 1..* type of target multiplicities could generate thousands of Compliant audit messages without real value. The Audit Message creation has been optimized on this area to minimize the amount of unnecessary compliant messages being created. |
| Audit | Changes to create new On-Demand Audit screen | Changed the field order for better flow. |
| Audit | Activate and Execute Now for Scheduled audits | Active checkbox and Execute Now options brought to Scheduled Audit edit screen. |
| Audit | Stop an ongoing audit by failing the Audit instance record | Audit is run in chunks and changing the Audit Instance status to Failed, will stop audit when trying to start the next chunk of root records to audit. |
| Data Content Planner | Default Data Content Set name | When new Data Content Set is created from Audit Results, the default name for the set will be the name of the root record. |
| Workspace | "DCM Task created" messages now include a link | When DCM Tasks are created manually from Audit Results, the info message now includes a direct link to the Task record. |
| Workspace | DCM Tasks have direct links to Audit Results and Blueprint Designer | The "Audit details" tab includes references to Audit instance and Blueprint version related to DCM Task. These reference fields now include direct links to open Audit instance into Audit Results view and BP version into Blueprint Designer. |
| Workspace | Form improvement to Task Configuration | Minor improvements to form layout and reference field functionality. |
| Application | "Modify Global Submit buttons" removed from basic setup | With couple of form related enhancements on the Data Content Planner we no longer need to modify global Submit buttons as part of the basic setup. This step has been removed from Guided Setup also. |
| Application | "DCM Helper" no longer needed | Committing a separate "DCM Helper" update set as part of the basic setup is no longer needed. This step is also removed from the Guided Setup. |
| Application | Guided Setup for updates | New section added to Guided Setup to make sure that certain things are checked when updating DCM to a newer version. This is optional for whole new installations. |
| Application | "Save and Close" instead of just Save | Many modal windows were changed to close the window after saving. |
