Release notes: April 6th - April 7th, 2024

inriver is moving towards more incremental, smaller releases to be able to accommodate our customers in a better and faster way. With smaller, more frequent releases, inriver will be able to increase the quality and transparency of the releases and identify and mitigate any erroneous behavior that may be caused by the release much faster. 

Please see below for the deployed features and improvements:

• For Syndicate Plus users, the functionality to display UPC and SKU columns in the API Export error page has been implemented, providing clearer error context and troubleshooting capabilities.
• It has now been implemented that as a PIM editor within Plan & Release, the functionality allows for dragging and dropping entities from the search result area to different nodes within a channel. This capability facilitates linking bulk entities to specific nodes efficiently.
  

   

  Avoid having large numbers of Entities in a Channel Node. The number of Entities within each Channel Node must be less than 2000. The performance will significantly reduce as the number of Entities within Channel Nodes increases.

  Contact inriver for guidance if you have a requirement that needs this approach.

  Implementation Standards explained

• It has now been implemented that users within Enrich can utilize the Query Editor to identify products not associated with a specific Channel. This enhancement allows users to search for and manage products based on Channel exclusions effectively.
• It has now been implemented that keyboard shortcuts are specifically tailored for Windows users, enhancing user efficiency and navigation within the application, according to the following:
  
  
  • Dashboard and Enrich:
    • [CTRL] + [+] = Open Create New Entity Menu (redirects to Enrich)
    • [CTRL] + [ALT] + [J] = Open Jobs dropdown
    • [ENTER] = Refresh Jobs (only able to trigger when Jobs dropdown is opened
    • [CTRL] + [Q] = Open Advanced Search
    • [ESC] = Close opened menus
    • [Ctrl] + [S] = Save
    • [Ctrl] + [Z] = Undo
    • [Ctrl] + [A] = Select All
    • [Esc] = Close modal windows, such as the query editor 
  • Plan & Release:
    • [CTRL] + [+] = Open Create New Entity Menu
    • [CTRL] + [ALT] + [J] = Open Jobs dropdown
    • [ENTER] = Refresh Jobs (only able to trigger when Jobs dropdown is opened)
    • [ESC] = Close opened menu
      
      
  • Syndicate, Planner, Supplier Onboarding, Content Store, Evaluate:
    • [CTRL] + [ALT] + [J] = Open Jobs dropdown
    • [ESC] = Close opened menu

Please see below for the deployed bug fixes:

• We have applied a solution to ensure that CTRL+A correctly selects text in the Quick Search when navigating to a work area or Entity, improving user functionality with consistent and expected keyboard shortcut behavior for text selection.
• We have applied a solution to ensure that users in Enrich can now view thumbnail icons and previews for large PDF files (100 MB or 200 MB) upon uploading. This enhancement enables efficient identification and previewing of large PDF documents within the application.
• We have applied a solution to ensure that when mass updating (clearing values) in the locale string for a specific language within PIM, the values in other languages will not be affected or cleared. This enhancement maintains data integrity by preserving language-specific information during mass updates.
• We have applied a solution to ensure that when working with Plan and Release in Portal, a small completeness icon is now positioned within the channel status card instead of floating in the bottom right of the page. This enhancement provides a more intuitive and cohesive user interface experience within the Portal environment.
• We have applied a solution to ensure that filtered work areas are now displayed based on the keyword used in the filter, highlighted in red within the Filter Results, thereby enhancing clarity and efficiency in work area filtering.
• We have applied a solution to ensure that users in Enrich can now search for entities containing Unicode characters, which will display correctly in the quick search interface.
• For Syndicate Plus users, we have implemented a solution that updates the styling if an image does not fit within the product card, ensuring a more visually appealing and consistent presentation.
