October 2024 release
LUY 7.6.4
October 2024
We are excited to announce the addition of a new integrated attribute: "Version - built-in" to our backend, bringing enhanced functionality and data control for information systems and technical components.
1. New features
1.1 Introducing the “Version - built-in” attribute
With this release, we are excited to introduce a new predefined LUY attribute called "Version - built-in". Per default it is enabled by default for both information systems and technical components. This enhancement significantly improves LUY, providing you with greater flexibility and control when managing version information for these building block types.
What does this mean? In LUY, all characters following the "#" in the name of information systems and technical components are interpreted as the version number. This value will now be automatically recorded in the "Version - built-in" attribute.
For example: An information system named "LUY #7.6" will automatically have its
"Version - built-in" attribute set to "7.6".
This attribute is read-only and is automatically updated when changes occur.
You have full access to the version values within the following LUY features:
Filter for table view (list view)
Filter for all types of diagrams
Query console
Part of the Excel export as separate column
Plugin API
REST API
To use the attribute in the Query Console, Plugin API, and REST API, please use the technical name provided on the page Meta model | Metamodel-reference-names-(technical-names).
This new feature will soon replace the current "Version" filter, which is currently only accessible through the filter dialog. To ensure a seamless transition for future releases, we highly recommend updating your current reports to use this new predefined attribute.
Important:
If you have previously created a custom attribute named "Version - built-in", please rename your custom attribute before the update to avoid conflicts with the new predefined attribute.
2. Bug fixes
N/A for this release
3. Limitations
The "Version - built-in" attribute is currently read-only and automatically derived from the element’s name. Editing the version directly is not supported.
The "Version - built-in" attribute is available as a column in list reports but it is not visible in the current single element view. It will be visible in the new frontend’s single element view.
