Knowledge Model Updates
Active Data Model Variable Selection
Know more swiftly and easily the origin of the data you are using. Quickly identify the active Data Model Variable in your Knowledge Model by looking at the highlighted Data Model Key in the Data Model variable chooser.
Referencing of KPIs within the KNowlege Model becomes case-sensitive
After the release, the referencing of KPIs becomes case-sensitive everywhere the KPI Id is referenced. The change only applies to the usage of KPI(...) within Knowledge Models, so the referencing of a KPI Id within the same Knowledge Model (see examples below).
In all other cases, the behavior when referencing a KPI Id was already case-sensitive before (for example in the Table or the Attribute List components in Views).
Examples where this change has no impact at all:
IDs of KPIs have been copy-pasted or written exactly in the same way (as in their Knowledge Model definition) wherever they have been referenced.
All KPIs always have been defined and referenced with fully capitalized IDs.
Example where this change has an impact:
In the Knowledge Model, there is a KPI which is defined by the ID "StrAnGe_WAY_toWriteanID"
If you reference this KPI within the Knowledge Model as "KPI(STRANGE_WAY_TOWRITEANID)", it will fail. This can impact tables and other components relying on this reference.
Checking a Knowledge Model for incorrect KPI references
The following script can be used in the Machine Learning workbench to check your Knowledge Model for wrongly referenced KPIs. However, for smaller Knowledge Models without many KPIs it also can be looked up manually.
CHECK
Visual editor for variables update
Deletion prompt and tooltip added
Work more easily with variables and leverage the visual editor for them. The editor makes it easier to create new Variables with only a few clicks and no need to go into YAML.
To enhance the editor and secure the work, the deletion of a variable must now be confirmed, after clicking on delete within the visual editor.
Additionally tooltips are shown when hovering over the icons for edit and delete.
Improvements
Pagination has been introduced for conformance checker violations. This prevents the browser from slowing down or crashing in cases where there are a large number of violations.
The descriptions of each action in the info message found in the button component settings have been revised to be more detailed and accurate.
Bug fixes
For histograms, coloring mappings based on dimension did not apply to buckets covering a range of values, only to buckets consisting of a single value. The bucket is now colored if it lies entirely within the user provided threshold. For example, the histogram on the right has the color mapping: green if less than or equals 10 and red if greater than 10.
Process explorer/variant explorer KPI:
It was not possible to provide different units for more than one Variant explorer connection KPI. The unit labeling now works as intended.
The option to format all KPIs according to one of the formulas did not work, so it has been temporarily removed to avoid confusion. The feature will be reinstated in a future release.
Knowledge Model Updates: PQL Editor Dark Mode
Rest your eyes and save energy on your device with the new PQL Editor Dark Mode. PQL Editors for Knowledge Model Objects are now shown by default in dark mode.
Improvements
A new option is null has been added to the color threshold dropdown of the color mapping editor. This lets users define color mappings based on null values of the dimension or series.
Bug fixes
When switching the order of KPIs in a line chart, the KPI names were not reordered in the hover legend unless the component was refreshed. The hover legend now adjusts immediately.
A minor visual bug in the sticky Violations header of the conformance checker was fixed.
Waterfall is getting a visual editor!
Waterfall is joining the new visual editing experience.
Visual editors are the default way to edit and create both components; you can also switch between the Visual Editor and YAML editor.
New look and feel for visual editor for Charts
We've improved the visual editor for Charts. You can now easily control and manage chart settings with Chart layers.
Process Explorer with a pre-configured event log
We now provide the Process Explorer pre-configured, based on the first event log defined in your Knowledge Model. You can easily add the component to your Views and start getting insights without requiring initial configuration.
