Now we prevent content creators from generating page conflicts and errors by automatically locking pages when they are opened in Edit Mode, not allowing other users edit it at the same time. Beside that, a recurrent process reviews all locked pages to unblock them automatically if no activity is registered. Administrators can also unlock them manually if it’s needed.
Release Notes
The old import modal for Fragments and Page Templates is substituted by a new special import page, a new page with the import outcomes is added with the results of the process and last, but not least, the user is provided more import options for a better management of the already existing files: Overwrite Existing Entries, Overwrite Existing Items, Keep Both. A WARNINGS label is added as well to the fragments that were imported with warnings and that could cause malfunctions.
Apart from exposing information in tables, with the Data Set Manager now admins will be able to define actions linked to each of the elements of the data set. For each action:
- Admins can provide a localized label
- Choose the icon to be used
- Provide the URL to redirect the user to. In case you need to parametrize it so each row has a different URL, you can do it by adding it between brackets as part of the URL, for example myURL/{id}/editPage will look for “id” in the Headless response and substitute for the corresponding value in the URL.
- With “Headless Action Key” admins can associate an action to a headless endpoint, which takes permissions into account, so the action will only be shown to the user if the corresponding headless action is present in the response. For example, you can link an “edit” action to the “update” Headless Key.
- Provide an optional Confirmation Message if needed.
- In order to use this feature enable “Data Set Manager” in the BETA section of the Feature Flags menu.
Admins can define filters to make them available for end users visiting pages with the dataset fragment. There are 3 types of filters available:
- Date filters: compatible with fields of type date. Admins can provide a name to the filter as well as provide a “From” and “To” dates to be pre-applied if needed.
- Selection filters: This filter allows admins to configure a picklist as the source of the options for the filter.
- Client extension: This new client extension enables admins and developers to fully customize the filter experience and add new types of filters depending on their needs.
- In order to use this feature enable “Data Set Manager” in the BETA section of the Feature Flags menu.
With the Data Migration Center, users can export and import, in a very easy way, Objects entries and Objects definitions from one instance to another using JSON files. The actions executed can be consulted later in a list when you can download the files generated every time is needed.
In the portal, Site Administrators are able to create different User Experiences for Pages. Publications can publish these Experiences. However it can be confusing for Publication Reviewers that they can not review changes introduced in all the Experiences, which are going to be published. Here we added the ability to Publication Reviewers to view changes added in all the Experiences which are going to be published.
Blueprints are referenced by their ERCs under-the-hood in the Blueprints Options widget and the Low-Level Search Options widget also supports a new attribute called search.experiences.blueprint.external.reference.code
as the recommended way to configure a blueprint (preferred over the old attribute search.experiences.blueprint.id). In addition to that, when moving blueprints or elements between different environments using for example the Batch Client Extensions, entries will preserve their ERCs making portability easier. This way, when for example a search page is imported from a LAR, the Blueprints Options and Low-Level Search Options widget configurations can continue working thanks to the association being achieved via the ERC of the blueprint and not via its ID or other identifier that may be different on the new environment.
Lastly, users can now access and edit the ERC of blueprints and elements directly from the editors.
When users access a site in a language different from their user profile language, the following Information message is shown:
Now administrators can configure if this message will show up or not from System or Instance. Go to Instance Settings > Pages > Friendly URL Redirection and check/uncheck the “Show Alternative Layout Friendly URL Message” option for the appropriate value.
