New

The following enhancements to the Alfabet platform are available with this release.

A new migration step is available that migrates view customizations made in the context of view schemes in Alfabet 10.X to class settings in Alfabet 11.7.2. If a view for an object class is customized, a new class setting will be created for the object class with the name <class setting name>_<view scheme name> _VS

The class setting is a copy of the class setting used for the object class in the view scheme amended by the customization-based changes. If no specific class setting was used in the view scheme, the default class setting is used. If no default class setting is specified, the standard class setting of the object class is used.

For each object view in Alfabet 10.X, a content area is created during migration. The migrated content area will be used as the target object for customized class settings.

This migration step is part of the migration from Alfabet 10.x versions to Alfabet 11.7.2. For customers who have already migrated to prior versions of Alfabet 11, update of the meta-model via the AMM file delivered with the patch release includes only the new migration step. In both cases, migration is only performed if the checkbox for the migration of only data is not selected.

  • Two new attributes are available that allow an operation (button) to be differently defined for a content area. The attributes can be defined for an operation via the Operations node of a class setting > Modify Button Operation Behavior. The attributes allow the content area to be specified that the button specification shall apply to.
  • Operation definitions can be copied from one class setting to other class settings. This is possible for a single operation or for multiple operations.
