Studio now allows users to revert changes in the definitions of their Knowledge Model (KM) Extensions objects to the version of the same object in the KM Base, in case users want to return an object in their KM Extension to its original base version.

Tip

Follow this CHECK link to learn more about Base and Extension Knowledge Models.

With this feature:

- Users can identify from inside the KM whether an object definition in a KM Extension is different from the definition of the same object in its KM Base. Users are also able to see exactly in what way these objects are different.

60360820.png

- Users can revert an overwritten object to its base state from within the object in the KM Extension. This gives users the opportunity to return individual parts of their KM Extension to their original base state with just a few clicks.

Sheet copy-paste functionality

It is now possible to copy an entire sheet from one Analysis to another in Studio. When right clicking on a sheet tab in the bottom bar, the options Copy Sheet to Clipboard and Paste Sheet appear in the context menu. In contrast to copying components, copying the sheet will keep the position of each component on the sheet the same. Sheets can be copied across analyses, packages, and spaces, but not teams.

  • What is copied: Components and their settings, sheet format, sheet filter.

  • What is NOT copied: Saved formula and variable definitions, analysis filter, selection filters, image uploads, bookmarks.

Bug fixes
  1. The Open Document button action was always bringing the user to a blank console. The button action now works as intended.

  2. In certain cases, hover tooltips would remain on the screen after switching to a different asset. The tooltip now always disappears upon switching to a different asset.

Fixes

Task Mining Service: Project Creation

If you create a new Task Mining project without having a Studio space named "Default", the project creation fails.

With this fix, the new Task Mining project creates a package either within a Studio space named "Default", or if that doesn't exist, then in the first space.

If there is no Studio space, an error message appears: "Sorry, the project cannot be created because no space was found in studio. Please create a new space."

Fixes

Task Mining Service: Project Creation

Updates the schema of the user_interaction_table which is created in the background for each new project: New columns for the recently-introduced attributes for SAP have been added.

Fixes
  • Fixes a problem of corrupted string values in the Task Mining Client when uploading multiple files in parallel.

  • Task Mining Service: Downloads and update notifications are now pointing to the latest 2.6.1. Client version.
