New features and functionalities

= Brief description of contents

Horizontal Functionality

• CTI | New CTI debugging tool
• Collaboration | Files per chat panel in Chat
• Functionalities and UI improvements in the Parameters Panel in Views, Automations and OLAPs
• Entity lists | General Snapshot Dashboard

Next up, the new functionalities & improvements catalog is broken down per category, along with use instructions & examples.

Horizontal functionality

Parameter panel

Views, OLAPs, Automations: hide “All” tab

In case the parameters of a view, automation or OLAP have been integrated into parameter categories and appear organized in tabs, the additional “All” tab also appears by default, where all of the parameters are found. It is now possible to hide the “All” tab, by disabling the new Show “All” category flag.

If there are parameters with the visibility condition: “advanced”, disabling the flag is now allowed.

Views: maximum parameter panel height

Parameter wizard | Reconfigure keys
Parameter panel | Reconfigure keys

The maximum height of the parameter panel has significantly increased, set at 25 lines, in order to avoid displaying the scrollbar, to the greatest extend applicable.

Automations: Reconfigure parameter panel / wizard keys

The “Accept” key appears on the left of “Cancel” key, following the horizontal convention to windows environments.

These two main keys are now displayed on the right part of the form and not at the center, maintaining their position in the case of Wizard parameters, as the two indicative examples to the right demonstrate.

Create & edit expressions

The edit expressions dialog has been upgraded and enhanced with a specialized editor, which colors the reserved terms and words appropriately and offers a zoom feature, using the <ctrl> + mouse wheel combination. This renders editing and reading expressions significantly easier.

Indicatively, here are some parts where this specific dialog is used:

• editing visibility expressions in the view column properties

• editing execution conditions in field property profiles

OLAPs

• In the new OLAPs, more specifically, in the drill down feature, the column width has been set to best fit (instead of fit to width) in order for them to be readable at once.

There's now the possibility to bypass application of all formatting determined by the selected style, per table (not regarding the whole OLAP). This can be achieved by enabling the relevant flag in Table properties.

Views:

In the column properties of a view, the check box Context information indicator has been added. By enabling this option, the icon appears on the left of the data of the relevant column, as an indicator that context information has been enabled for the specific column (Preview, Scorecard, Timeline, Gantt chart).

Entity Lists | General Snapshot Dashboard

In previous version 5.0.6.0., a new structure called List snapshot has been added (ES00ListSnapshot, ES00ListItemSnapshot), in which a snapshot of Non-static & Saved lists is stored, and, more specifically, of their Entities during the list Recreation process, as long as the following option (flag) has been activated: Take snapshot.

As described in the document of version 5.0.6.0., this structure aims to support references in cases that use lists. In this version, a general dashboard is provided which displays the snapshots of a list. This includes a grid with the total list entities per time range, as well as the visualization of the information itself in diagram form.

CTI debugging tool

In order to facilitate the detection of problems and their causes when using Entersoft CTI, there’s now a relevant tool that records relevant events in detail. This is available on the communication Toolbar, below the CTI menu.

First of all, select the line / device to monitor in the debugger. It is possible to monitor more than one line / device simultaneously.

For instance, in the following image the debugger is activated for line 100 and line 101, at the same time. By utilizing the MDI features of Entersoft Business Suite 2020, it's possible to effectively monitor the events of both lines.

Features provided:

• enable / disable debugger
• group results with a simple drag and drop
• clear event list
• save recorded events in xml file

• οpen xml file with events, when debugging is disabled
• enable / disable scrolling
• search and filtering

• filter per column, with various filter editing and configuration features

Collaboration | Chat

Files per chat

In the chat form, in the area where the conversation is taking place, a new Panel has been added, where the files of the selected chat can be viewed. Initially, the panel is closed and can be expanded using the key. The current chat files appear in descending order of date.

• By right-clicking on the list, it is possible to update it.
• By double-clicking on a file, the relevant file opens up to view.

For every chat file, the following information is directly visible: (a) file type (b) sent date (c) file title (which is created automatically as required) and (d) file sender

Additionally...

• Sound notifications have been added, in addition to the indicators in the active conversations list and in the horizontal menu. The sound notifications can be deactivated per work station using , which is found on the bottom left of the Chat view.

• Sharing an OLAP export to Excel is now supported. The OLAP export to excel dialog is available in this case too, in order for the file sent to meet the relevant needs.

Miscellaneous

• In Entersoft Migration (EMI, advanced data import), the preview data feature for data to-be-imported now supports all kinds of sources, regardless of the destination (new / existing table or entity). Practically, this means that the data preview is now also supported in case the destination is a new / existing table and the source is also a table or a question on it.
• In the Users view, column Repeated failed login attempts and finding the user photo in the view question has been improved.

• During the Hot Fix installation, there is now a check to ensure that the application or other EBS applications are not being executed and the user is informed accordingly, in order to close them before installing the Hot Fix and thus minimize the possibility of files not installing due to being in use.
