Improvements

For indicator cards and grouped indicator cards, the caption and description of the evaluation type or indicator type can be overwritten with text specified in the card definition.

Card templates must be updated to apply this change. Customers using preconfigured Alfabet solutions will automatically have the new cards included in the meta-model configuration. Other customers must implement the new cards via the AMM file to upgrade cards delivered with the 11.9.1 CD.

Breadcrumbs have been changed to show when a view has been opened from an explorer or workflow. For example, if the workflow activity Assess Demand is selected in the Workflows explorer, the breadcrumb will display "Workflows/Assess Demand".

The spelling of user profile types in the User Profile editor and user types in the User editor has been changed to Read Only and Read/Write to align with the spelling used in other places in the Alfabet user interface.

Links to external URLs has been enhanced:

• The object class ALFA_URI may be specified as a start class for workflows. This is a resolution for ticket ASD-7540.
• Administrative users can create extended attributes of the type Url.

Customers interfacing with Technopedia® can search for assets via the Technopedia ID search field in the relevant Alfabet selectors. This is a resolution for ticket ASD-7466.

Selector definition has been considerably enhanced for object class properties of the type Reference or ReferenceArray:

• Selectors can be defined for object class properties both on the level of the object class model and class settings. Specification in the class setting overwrites specifications in the class model. If no selector is defined for the object class property, the selector defined in the class settings of the target object class is used.
• A new Hide Selector attribute is introduced both directly in the attributes of the object class property and in the property attributes in the class settings. The attribute is set to False per default. If the Hide Selector attribute is set to True , the Advanced Search link is hidden in edit fields where the reference could be set.
• A new Selector Configuration section is available in the attributes window to group the selector-relevant attributes.

The Show Usage functionality of wizards, workflow templates, and ADIF schemes in Alfabet Expand has been enhanced to show their usage in generic operations.

The new IS_SHADOW and BACK_REFERENCE attributes have been added to the ALFA_MM_PROP_INFO table. The attributes store the values of the Shadow Reference and Back Reference attributes of the object class properties in the current meta-model configuration. The information can be used to create reports that provide information about how object class properties shall be imported via ADIF or for any integration with third-party components, for example. If an object class property is a shadow reference, it must not be imported via the Alfabet RESTful services or via ADIF to this object class property but to the object class property of the reference target object class defined in the Back Reference attribute of the shadow reference property.

• The SQL editor that opens to define the Calculation SQL Query attribute of calculated properties has been changed. If the validity check upon closing the editor fails, the editor will not close and changes to the query will not be lost.
• The type ReferenceArray has been removed from the Property Type attribute of calculated properties because reference arrays cannot be calculated.
• The Caption attribute has been removed from the attributes of content items of the types Indicator and Evaluation. Captions are exclusively defined in the indicator card or evaluation card definition on the user interface.
• The Content Item Preview section has been removed from the attributes of content items of the type Indicator. An indicator card functions as a preview of indicators.
