# Core Engine Release 3.7

Speed up everyday searches with predefined search filters.

Each user can create an individual filter library for each module. By sharing your filters, you can make them available as templates to all other users in the system. Share your filters with specific users with whom you work with in a team. Your predefined filters guarantee identical search results for all team members while working with the same files, collections, or tasks.

The new feature "saved filters" is available for all Core Engine modules. After the upgrade, the filters will be listed as a search group in each standard module.

# Configuration of fields – removal of "native field"

Via an admin-snapin it was possible to configurate a metadata field from former "native" to "non-native". But by doing this, fields could no longer be found in the SQL-database, which led to malfunctions. The metadata field "native field" has now been removed in the admin-snapin /module configuration/module name/fields.

Though, when creating a new metadata field, you still have the option "native field".

# Tooltips for value options

We can now show tooltips for value options (checkboxes and radio buttons). They can be customized in the .properties-files (custom/modules/locale/...). Using tooltips for value options is a practical way to add information and explanations to checkboxes or radio buttons.

Example: Tooltips for the checkboxes in the popup-window "product type".

Notes:

With the upgrade, the frontend shows tooltips for all value options of the object-renderer-type checkbox and radio-button. If there are no translations yet, the technical label keys will be shown automatically.
Please check for systems using version 2, if the customized label keys were transferred with the upgrade.

# Method to get icons changed

The method to get icons changed and it's not allowed to use a '+' sign in folders or filename below folder global/styles. The sign will be used to separate folders and icon name in url.

Example urls to get a icon

Url	Folder	Icon name
.../api/system/themes/default/icons/A-DEVELOPER-CONFIGURATION		A-DEVELOPER-CONFIGURATION
.../api/system/themes/default/icons/icon_library+hourglass	icon_library	hourglass

Note

The "+" symbol is required to separate the folder and the icon name. Folder and file names in the global/styles folder may not contain the "+" symbol, it is for API requests only. Folder or file names containing a "+" will display an error message when requests are made.
