Feature Improvements

SummaryDetails
UI - Transaction and Data Call Graph (DCG) scope - Drill mode optionsUser can now drill using "Children only, group by communities" or "Children only" found in context menu or "Drill mode options" in Transactions or Data Call Graph (DCG) scope. Refer: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Data+Call+Graph+scope and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope
UI - Admin Center - App to App Dependencies tileIn the App to App Dependencies tile, following tabs: "Applications," "App to App linkages," and "Rules definition" are now available by default. This allows the user to make changes to the rules even when links are not displayed. Refer: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Application+to+Application+Dependencies+management
UI - Welcome page redesignThe Welcome Page has been completely redesigned in this release. See: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page.
UI - Standardize search boxesThe search boxes used in various different features within CAST Imaging have now been standardized throughout, for example, Global Search, Add Linked Objects, Path Finder, Custom scope, Searching for saved views etc. See, for example, https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Search+for+items#UserGuideSearchforitems-standardAllapplication(global)searchoptions.
UI - Admin Center - Application Management - Version columnA new column has been added to the Application Management panel (https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Application+management+panel) called "Version". This column indicates the name of the version as defined in CAST Console when the application was analyzed. Note that this column will not display the version name unless: 1) the application has been analyzed with the com.castsoftware.applicationinformation extension (https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Application+Information), 2) AND the application has been imported into CAST Imaging using CAST Imaging ≥ 2.12 (i.e. this applies if you have upgraded to ≥ 2.12 but retained applications imported with older releases).
UI - Admin Center - Preferences - Landing page optionA new option has been added to Admin > Preferences called "Landing Page". This option allows you to choose the default application landing page for each Application (either the Welcome Page, or direct to the application itself). In the Admin > Preferences, a new option “Welcome Guide” is added. Enabling the Welcome Guide option allows you to view a detailed description of the selected view. Refer: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences#Configuringdisplaypreferences-Preferredlandingpage and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page.
UI - Call Hierarchy - ImprovementsThe Call Hierarchy feature (displaying caller and callee objects from a starting source object) has been decoupled from the Path Finder feature and now has its own entry in the right click contextual menu at Objects level and with its own dedicated dialog box. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Call+Hierarchy+feature.
UI - Document-It - Display improvementsDocument-It documents are now available in a new tab in the right hand panel (previously they were listed in the view itself) and with a newly introduced search option (documentss can be searched based on title, description and/or tags). See: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Document-It+feature#UserGuideUsingtheDocumentItfeature-Viewingexistingdocuments.
UI - Application to Application Dependencies - multi app badgeA badge has been added to objects at Object level (in any scope) to indicate whether they belong to another application. Clicking the object (with the badge) will display the applications the object belongs to (in the right hand panel) and then selecting the application will load the Application to Application Dependencies view. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Application+to+Application+dependencies+scope#UserGuideApplicationtoApplicationdependenciesscope-Findingobjectsbelongingtomultipleapplications.
UI - Export ObjectWe now allow users to download list of selected objects in the global search panel. The download button is only seen to the user when the "Object Export" option is enabled in the preferences.
UI - Aggregated by Modules - Object document linkingA new option has been added to the Application Management panel in the Admin Center called "Link docs". Enabling it (disabled by default) will ensure that any object Documents that have been added to specific objects will be made available in the right hand panel (Documents tab) when using the Aggregated by > Modules display option. This is to make it easier to see which objects have documents from a Module perspective. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Application+management+panel.
Technical - Bulk importing documents or tags via .CSV fileIt is now possible to bulk import documents and/or tags into CAST Imaging using a .CSV file. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Bulk+importing+documents+or+tags+via+.CSV+file.
UI - Global Search - Download optionAs part of the redesign of the search boxes throughout CAST Imaging, it is now possible to download a list of objects to .CSV file that are the results of a global object search. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Search+for+items#UserGuideSearchforitems-Objectsearch.
UI - Welcome page - popup box redisplayThe popup box displayed when clicking a tab/link in the Welcome page can now be redisplayed by using the "View Information" in the left hand menu. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Investigate+panel#UserGuideGUIInvestigatepanel-layoutLayoutoptions.
Technical - SSO for CAST Imaging and Console (standalone)An SSO (single sign on) mechanism has been implemented to link CAST Imaging (≥ 2.13) installed on Microsoft Windows and Console (≥ 2.5) Standalone edition. This mechanism ensures that when accessing CAST Imaging (from CAST Console), users will be directed to the CAST Console login page - i.e. logins to CAST Imaging will be managed by Console. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/2.x+-+Standalone+mode+-+Installation+of+AIP+Console+front-end+in+standalone+mode#id-2.xStandalonemodeInstallationofAIPConsolefrontendinstandalonemode-ConfigureSSO(singlesign-on)forCASTImaginginstalledonMicrosoftWindows.
