New Features and Non-Breaking Changes
Contact Cards
Edelog 6.7 introduces Contact Cards. Contact Cards are displayed on many places where a user is referenced (e.g., in Activity Feed posts, or as linked user value) if the mouse is moved over the reference (e.g., a profile picture).
Contact Cards can be extended by apps to display more information of a user directly inline. Expert Directory users can add Expert Directory to their Contact Cards from within the organization settings.
Updated Calendar and Timeline Views
Calendar and timeline views have a new layout. For timeline view, the actual names of users/groups are now used rather than their technical name/username.
Improved Object Picker
The object picker has been improved to make it easier to find and select data records.
-
Database filters are now available in object picker as well
-
New data records can be created from within object picker if the user has sufficient permissions
Watch Data Record
Edelog 6.7 introduces a new option to watch a data record. When active, all users who follow a data record are informed via notification if the data record has been updated or a new activity has been added.
Improved Handling of Database Views and Filters
With Edelog 6.7 you can now adjust the sorting of database views and filters. Furthermore, user-specific database views or filters are displayed more distinguished than before.
Besides that, database view can now be configured to include a default sorting that is applied if the user doesn't have configured another sorting.
Views with data tables now have the "Details" button pinned to the right-hand side for easy access. Furthermore, table-based database views can now be configured to have a certain number of columns pinned to the left.
