Core Engine (4.38)

# Core Engine Release 3.6

Core Engine released with change history and tree component optimizations.

# Searching the change history got easier

With our change history you can track which user has changed metadata or object images of objects at what time. The change history often grows quickly, making it difficult and confusing for the user to find information about specific changes.

By adding search and filter to our change history, it is now easier to find the entries you are looking for. The filter allows your to query changes by user, time period and metadata fields. Furthermore, you can display all changes to the object image, except in the Files module, such as a changed product image in the PIM or object image, on any object.

# Add the tree component to your module

The tree component was designed to display the folder structure and handle files exclusively. Accordingly, the tree component was rigidly anchored in the system and not optimally useful for integration into other Core Engine modules.

With this product improvement, the tree component becomes module-independent and has been enhanced with functions, such as the capability to handle dimensional fields.

In particular, a PIM can benefit from this tree component. Handling and administration of products has been improved. Among other things, the tree component is now dimension-capable, which means that product information can be displayed and managed in several languages or variants. We also added the functionality to search across several levels of the selected tree.

Innovations at a glance:

  • Independence of modules
  • Object creation on a node with direct assignment of metadata / relations as well as dimensions
  • Visual representation of nodes with an object image
  • Search across multiple levels of the selected tree
