Text Box Component Visual Editor

The Text Box component can now also be built using Visual Editors.

Available in edit mode of Analysis in both Process Analytics and Studio...

  • ...in the options menu of an existing sheet. Allow listed violations, KPIs and the process model will remain unchanged.

Studio Release 02.11.21
Button List component Block & Size configurations moved to general component settings

Previously, the block & size configuration options were listed as a per button configuration option. To keep consistency in the component, these settings will be moved to the general component settings. The Block configuration was also renamed to "Orientation" to keep consistency with other components.

Note

Both configuration changes are backward compatible. This means that the view will still work with per button configurations at the moment but will show as deprecated configurations. These will eventually also be removed so everyone is encouraged to move these over as soon as possible. If you make any changes in the visual editor this will be added into the new general configurations and will override any per button configurations your component may still have.

Additional components will follow soon!

For the components that currently can't be built using the Visual Editing Experience, YAML can still be used. Find out more about YAML in the documentation or in the Academy Training "App Creator".

Table OnClick Configuration Enhancements

Users can now link both Profile Views & Views within the table component. For both you can define the following configurations:

  • Carry Filters: Defines if filters should be carried from the current view to the linked view. This will apply to all filters applied to the view (i.e. applied from dropdowns, quick-filters, charts, etc.)

  • Carry Selections: Defines if table selections should be carried from the current view to the linked view. This should only be enabled if both your current and linked views contain table components.

  • Variables: Defines a variable(s) in the view that should be carried over to the linked view. Previously, only the selected value could be carried to the profile view, now any additional variable information can also be carried (e.g. any href attribute)

The profile view configuration method was updated in YAML to better align with the new open view feature. We encourage everyone to migrate to the new structure, but the YAML will remain backward compatible with the old structure. If you wish to use the additional configurations mention above, you will need to first update to the new YAML structure.

Note

If you update the view and/or profile view link within the visual editor (i.e. update filters, selections, variables settings) , your configuration will automatically be updated to the structure in YAML.

Table OnEdit Changes

You now have the ability to trigger the following actions when editing cells within your table:

  1. Update Augmented Attributes (In-Line Editing)

  2. Execute a skill when table value is changed

In-Line Editing

You can now easily use the in-line editing feature for all augmented attributes without needing to set up a skill beforehand. You can set this up for augmented attributes in YAML or the table visual editor.

Note

You will need to first configure/display your augmented attributes in the table using "<Record ID>.AUGMENTED_<Augmented Attribute ID>". Additional information on Augmented Attributes can be found here.
