• Thumbnails of some uploaded SVG files do not display correctly.

• Previews of PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX files cannot display charts due to a limitation of the library used to generate the preview.

Version 2.2.0

Released: November 2021

New features

This release contains no new features.

Changes in Functionality

This release includes the following changes to functionality:

• When configuring a Drive, you now select from a list of available connectors instead of Drive types. The following connectors are available in this release:

  • Default connector: Allows you to create a default Drive where asset storage and management tasks are handled by the add-on.

  • External manager: Allows you to use the API to connect to an externally managed storage location.

• The Editor is now the Drive view and you can no longer edit asset metadata from this view. All functionality, apart from editing, in this view remains the same. You can now access editing features by:

  • Selecting an asset's information icon when viewing a record.

  • Using the Manage digital assets service (available to administrators).

• Modifications to assets are no longer autocratically global in scope. Changes are now either isolated, or applied globally depending on your access rights, and where you initiate changes. When changes are isolated, they only impact the current dataspace. For example, when you make changes in a child dataspace, they do not propagate to the parent. Global changes are propagated to any location where an asset is used. If you:

  • Are a business user and access edit functionality from a record's details view, any changes you make are isolated to the current dataspace.

  • Have administrative privileges and access edit functionality using the Manage digital assets service, changes apply globally. Note that as an administrator you can still edit from a record's details view if you want to keep your changes local.

  Note

  The above behavior applies to all asset-specific information, except tags. Changes to tags are always applied globally.

Changes to third-party libraries

This release contains no updates to third-party libraries.

Closed Issues

This release contains no closed issues.

Known Issues

This release contains the following known issues:

• Searching for assets in the media-type field using quick search is not supported. However, when previewing some file types, such as PDFs, you can search for text within the file.

• The configuration is not updated for the supported file extensions after users access the Digital Asset Manager widget.

• Document previews cannot display Vietnamese text.

• When accessing assets in an external Drive, error messages may display when selecting all assets. This can be the result of access limitations put in place by the third-party tool.

• Thumbnails of some uploaded SVG files do not display correctly.

• Previews of PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX files cannot display charts due to a limitation of the library used to generate the preview.

Version 2.1.0

• You can now specify that assets must meet minimum height and width requirements for upload.

• A regular expression can now be defined in a D.A.C or Drive configuration to enforce compliance of asset physical file names. If the name doesn't meet the specified pattern, users cannot upload the asset.

• Performance improvements were made when:

  • Importing assets with tags.

  • Importing assets from a zip file.

• The Upload screen now displays additional information about the Drive and D.A.C.

Changes in Functionality

• File size

• File extension

• Image resolution

• Max Drive size on bulk upload

• File name compliance with specified regex patterns

New features and updates

The following sections highlight the new features and updates for this release:

Features and enhancements

• You now have the option of enabling encryption upon Drive creation. This option encrypts all assets in a Drive so they can only be accessed by a user logged in to EBX®.

• When uploading multiple files, asset thumbnails now display immediately after upload of that asset is complete.

• A Drive can now be configured to access an externally managed storage location. For example, assets might be stored in the cloud on Google Drive or AWS. Alternatively, you might already use a third-party tool to manage digital assets but, you want to enable data model access to these assets. Note that API implementation is required for these types of use cases.

• To improve user experience in certain deployment environments, Spring configuration has been moved from hybrid to pure Java.

• It is no longer mandatory for Digital Asset Components to have associated tag clouds.

• A result page now displays after running the Delete all assets in Drive service.

• SVG files are now supported.

API updates

Using the add-on's API you can now access externally managed storage locations. These locations can include assets managed by third-party tools. In addition to linking to and displaying these assets in EBX® data model fields, you can:

• Search for and filter assets.

• Enable upload and deletion of assets.

• Attach and detach externally managed assets to EBX® data model fields.

• Display externally managed tags.

Known limitations

This release contains the following limitations:

• When accessing assets in an external Drive, error messages may display when selecting all assets. This can be the result of access limitations put in place by the third-party tool.

• Usability improvements

• A new Information icon is available on asset thumbnails. Clicking this icon opens the Edit digital asset screen where you can view detailed information about the asset, its versions, and its metadata.

  

• You now have the option of determining whether quick action icons always display on assets, or only when users mouse over the asset.

• When viewing asset versions, you can now download individual versions for comparison.

  

• New REST services are available that allow you to:

  • Retrieve an asset's URL.

  • Get all mediaType fields registered in Digital Asset Manager Add-on.

  • Get information about assets attached to a mediaType field.

Usability improvements

A large portion of the asset management process involves getting your assets into the manager. With this in mind, the latest version of the Digital Asset Manager Add-on provides the following usability improvements focused on helping you during the upload process (see Uploading and attaching assets for more information):

• Instead of bringing in assets individually, you can now upload and attach more than one asset at a time.

• A new quick-upload mode allows users to bypass pop-up dialogs and directly upload and attach assets. This mode integrates well with workflows.

• In addition to browsing to select files, drag-n-drop functionality is now included in the upload screen.

• Duplicate asset management during upload has been improved. The upload screen now indicates which assets are duplicate and you can choose whether to keep, or remove these assets during upload.

• When browsing for files to select during upload, the add-on applies a filter and only displays those extensions supported by the current D.A.C. configuration.

The following image highlights some of the aforementioned features:
