1. New
1.1. Start DCM Dashboard projects from Encore in the Material Theme in development mode
It is now possible to directly start a dcm dashboard from Encore in Material Theme. With the introduction of the loading dashboard projects from encore we have added a new API to DCM Dashboard service, which deprecates the old API. To take full advantage of this new feature it is mandatory to use the DCM Dashboard Service v1.2.1 and update your Material Theme version to 1.4.1 or update you @blueriq packages to 0.18.7 in you custom frontend project.
It is not only possible to start dcm dashboard from Encore, but we now also support multiple version of the same dashboard projects when running from exports. More information on how to connect the DCM Dashboard Service to Encore can be found here: Blueriq DCM Dashboard Service.
Please visit the upgrade instructions on how to connect the new DCM Dashboard Service API in your own custom theme.
1.2. Configurable null value allowance in REST connectivity
As a Business Engineer, you can now control if the value of an item in the interface for REST connectivity (a domain schema) can be null or not. This feature enhances data validation by letting the Business Engineer specify which fields must contain data, ensuring better data integrity. This setting has affects both incoming and outgoing messages and can simply be toggled for each item (attribute or relation) and is included in the OpenAPI feed and import as well.
2. Enhancements
| Enhancement | Details |
|---|---|
|
DCM Dashboard Service behind a context path |
By the default the DCM Dashboard Service now runs behind the /dcm-dashboard context path, meaning that every request to the DCM Dashboard Service should start with /dcm-dashboard. Please visit the upgrade instructions to determine the impact. |
