2.7.0-funcrel
New Features
| Summary | Details |
|---|---|
| UI - Preferences - Level Drill Mode | This new option allows you to choose the double-click drill down behaviour for nodes at Level 5. Either Children or Children + Caller/Callees can be selected. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences#Configuringdisplaypreferences-Leveldrillmode. |
| UI - Report generation | A new option is available in the left hand panel called "Imaging Reports" - these allow raw data to be extracted to gain insight about the application or share the extracted information. Reports can be generated in CSV, XLSX or JSON format. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Reports. |
| UI - App to App Dependencies scope - Custom scope implemented | It is now possible to create a "custom scope" in the App to App Dependencies scope. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Application+to+Application+dependencies+scope#UserGuideApplicationtoApplicationdependenciesscope-Customscope. |
| UI - App to App Dependencies - Application search implemented | The Application search is option is now available (with advanced filter) enabling you to search the scope for specific Applications. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Application+to+Application+dependencies+scope#UserGuideApplicationtoApplicationdependenciesscope-Applicationsearchoption. |
| UI - App to App Dependencies - Context menu in Custom scope | When working in the Custom scope within the App to App Dependencies scope, a contextual menu is available on right click of selected node(s) providing options such as Add Caller/Callees, Add linked apps, Add 2 levels of callers, Add 2 levels of callees. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Application+to+Application+dependencies+scope#UserGuideApplicationtoApplicationdependenciesscope-NodeinCustomscope. |
Feature Improvements
| Summary | Details |
|---|---|
| UI - Current view search option | The current view search option now allows the selection of multiple objects and will highlight them in the view. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Search+for+items#UserGuideSearchforitems-currentCurrentviewsearch. |
| UI - Retry option in properties panel | A retry button has been added in the right hand properties panel - this will be displayed when the process of retrieving the properties of an object fails. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI#UserGuideGUI-Toprightcorner. |
| UI - Transactions - Reduced call graph option | A new option has been added in this release called "Reduced call graph". This option is available in the Transactions object view and is designed to simplify the view especially when the selected transaction is very large. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Reducedcallgraph and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI#UserGuideGUI-layoutLayoutoptions. |
| UI - Main objects only option | A new option has been added in this release called "Main objects only". This option is available in the Transactions object view and the Data Call Graph view and is designed to toggle between displaying main objects/sub-objects and main objects only. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI#UserGuideGUI-layoutLayoutoptions. |
| UI - View export improvements | The ability to export to SVG has been added to the existing export options available via "Export all Objects and Links". See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Export+view+options. |
| UI - Restructuring of Transaction and Data Call Graph scope object view for Input/Output nodes | The input and output nodes in hierarchical layout mode for the Transaction and Data Call Graph scopes at Object level have been restructured to show a clear start and end point node. This is particularly helpful when multiple start/end point nodes exist. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-trans_startTransactionstartandendpoints(input/output) and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Data+Call+Graph+scope#UserGuideDataCallGraphscope-trans_startCallgraphstartandendpoints(input/output). |
| UI - Source code on link between objects | It is now possible to view the source code of links between objects by double clicking a link or right clicking and selecting "Show source code". If there is no source code available (for example the link is escalated), the caller object's source code is displayed instead. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Viewing+source+code. |
