EDELOG 6.12

New Features and Non-Breaking Changes

Data Aggregations

EDELOG 6.12 includes the ability to add aggregation functions to every data column using Data Explorer. The feature is currently accessible via the data view settings of the table view. You can use aggregation functions like sum, average, min and max value.

Mention Users and Data Records in Activities

You already could mention other users in activities by using “@”. Starting with EDELOG 6.12 you can also mention other data records in an activity by using “#”. The way, mentions are displayed, has also been optimized.

Besides users, groups can now also be mentioned.

Updated Calendar/Timeline Views

The calendar and timeline views have been updated with a variety of new features. The updated calendar saves the current position when navigating back/forward in the browser. It also supports lazy loading data, which enables you to load large collections of data without additional delays for rendering. The new calendar and timeline views also support multiple title columns.

As a major feature, calendar and timeline views now support drag & drop to quickly edit records without opening their details page.

Updated UI for Creating Activities

Activities are now created directly from within the timeline instead of from another UI. The activities now support a rich preview of attachments during the creation process. Third-party apps can also extend the new creation UI by offering other types of attachments.

With this update, also the UI to create classic forms has been updated.
