What’s new for your business from inriver? Summary: April 2024

The month’s inriver releases have brought improvements to the user experience, efficiency, and scalability of various functional areas within the PIM.

Navigation by keyboard shortcut

For those users who prefer to use keyboard shortcuts over navigation by mouse, April has brought a wealth of new opportunities to flex their fingers! New shortcuts for Windows users have been implemented throughout many functional areas of the PIM, including the Dashboard and Enrich but also Plan & Release, Supplier Onboarding, Evaluate and more. You can find full details of the new shortcuts in the release notes from April 6th-7th.

Print 2.0

Enhancements to the latest version of inriver Print have been made in several releases this month. These include the introduction of a “combined prints” function that enables seamless merging of multiple prints to consolidate data from different entities. We’ve also made updates to optimize performance and reliability for customers working at massive scale, including when customers make bulk updates or cache large and complex tables of data. We’ve also improved stability for those customers who are working with more than 20,000 specification fields per entity.

Syndicate Plus

We have continued our programme of updates to Syndicate Plus with the introduction of a new way to display product table comparisons, which are now available in different view modes. This should improve the user experience for different users by allowing them to tailor their screen layout. There’s also a new ability to cancel outbox jobs which gives users more hands-on control of their workflows.

Troubleshooting and error handling will be easier for users who export data from Syndicate Plus via API going forward thanks to the introduction of new functionality to better display information on errors that occur in the API Export.

Plan & Release

We know that many of our customers work with many thousands of entities and SKUs within their PIM and that the ability to work efficiently at scale is essential to their business interests. This month we’ve brought drag-and-drop capabilities to Plan & Release that will help users more quickly perform bulk actions to make links between entities and nodes.

That’s it for this summary. If you’d like to know more about the details behind these enhancements, you can read our technical release notes at any time.
