Key Enhancements

This release introduces the Configurable Web Services Editor which is a visual interface that enables administrators and business users to define and publish custom REST APIs. Users can select the ItemTypes to include in an API without any coding, AML, or SQL skills.

The Configurable Web Service editor enables administrators or business users to restrict the basic operations allowed for ItemTypes in a custom web service. With this capability, users can limit a web service to a subset of the permissions granted by the ItemType’s access control settings.

The Configurable Web Service editor enables administrators or business users to select Methods for the ItemTypes in a custom web service. With this capability, users can create or reuse Server Methods to extend the Configurable Web Service for a specific ItemType.

The Configurable Web Service editor enables administrators or business users to select Properties for the ItemTypes in a custom web service. With this capability, users can limit the accessible data to applications and integrations that use each configurable Web Service.

The Configurable Web Service editor enables administrators or business users to select Relationships for the ItemTypes in a custom web service. With this capability, users can limit the accessible data to applications and integrations that use each configurable Web Service.

This release of Aras Innovator includes a new API Key capability for authorizing HTTP requests sent to a Configurable Web Service endpoint. This feature provides an alternative to OAuth for authorizing applications and integrations that use a Configurable Web Service.

Configurable Web Services enable users to publish one or more version-stable endpoints for each web service. This capability enables web services to adapt to changing requirements without disrupting service to existing applications or integrations.

The Configurable Web Service editor enables administrators or business users to select Methods and define parameters in a custom web service. With this capability, users can create or reuse Server Methods to extend the Configurable Web Service with custom logic.

Configurable Web Services enable administrators and business users to create REST APIs that support uploading and/or downloading from an Aras Vault Server.

This release provides an enhanced Update Package for switching from Classic Forms to Responsive Forms. Administrators are no longer required to manually modify form packages which could potentially lead to usability issues.

This release provides an enhancement for repeating grid values. This functionality enables users to select multiple rows and columns and copy the data to adjacent rows by selecting the handle in the lower right corner of the grid cell, as done in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

This feature is available in all standard editable grids: relationship grids and main search grids that have been configured to enable editing. Use of this feature follows the same logic, permissions, and restrictions of typical data input such as requiring records to be locked and in an editable state before changes are permitted.

This release introduces functionality that enables dynamic data navigation within Dashboards which enables widgets to seamlessly update the context item based on selections made in other widgets within the same Dashboard.

Users can set up a Dashboard with a Grid Widget and as well as a Tree Grid View Widget with a preselected default context item. With dynamic context selection enabled, highlighting a row in the Grid Widget triggers an automatic update in the Tree Grid View Widget, loading the corresponding content without having to edit the widget configuration. The Grid Widget serves a dual role as both publisher and receiver, unlike standard TGV and Report Widgets, which can only receive the selection.
