Admin Console

• The Model Explorer has access levels that are set in the Admin Console under Components->Model Editor->Model Editor. A View access level has been added which can be configured restrict who can view content in the Model. The default setting is Registered, which means all Registered users - all users - can view all content in the Model.
• There is now an ability to Clear Non-Used Script Files and Clear All Log And Output Files from the Admin Console. These capabilities can be found under Components->Model Editor->Clear Scripts and Logs.

Importing a Library with a "/" in the name is not supported by the system. Trying to import an improper file name will now generate an error.

• Previously, the process failed, but did not generate an error message.

Using the Export All button on the toolbar, it is now possible to export all Libraries at once.

Type System

• Attributes added to a Parent type were not propagating to child types unless the Parent base type was Equipment. Now, attributes added to Parent types that are Objects, or other base types, will propagate to child types..

Instances

Attributes

• Attempting to add an attribute where the data type does not match the value now generates an appropriate front end error message. Previously, the message instructed the user to contact ThinkIQ Support.
• When editing attributes, the dialog remembers the previous Show More setting.

Tags

• The Historized column on the Tags page had a pagination issue and was reporting incorrect values until the page was scrolled. This has been fixed.

Model Editor -> Model Explorer

• The Model Editor has been rebranded to Model Explorer. This component is where users manage many aspects of their system including Type and Instance management, model creation and editing, Materials modeling, and more.
• The Material Model menu has been superseded by the Model Explorer. Materials will now be created, tracked and managed from within the Model Explorer.
• The interface for the new Model Explorer has been updated!
  • Like the Types tab, introduced a few months ago, the Instance Tab presents items in the Model in a tree format in the left pane, with details and configuration options in the right pane.
  • Tree Structure
    • The tree structure can be searched using the Search box
    • The tree can be rooted on any item in the Model by clicking the Set Root icon next to the item in the tree.
    • Editing a Model item, or adding a new instance of an item can be triggered by clicking the Add Instance or Edit icon next to the item in the tree.
  • Details Pane
    • Attributes, Relationships, scripts and more are all configured in the right pane of the Explorer.
    • The Overview tab editor allows for adding rich text and images to provide details about the item with focus in the tree.
    • The Attributes tab shows existing attributes and their current values - if wired. Attributes are added and edited here. The order of the display of the attributes can be changed by editing an attribute - use the Show More option in the Edit Attribute dialog.
    • The Relationships tab displays existing relationships in a graphical form and allows adding and deleting relationships.
    • The Scripts tab provides a way to create and edit scripts for an item.
    • From the Details Pane you can browse directly to Trend, the item Details Page, view the Audit log, and more.

Type System - 'Object' has been renamed to 'Generic Object' to better support new object types in the system. 'Generic Object' is the base type for all types in the system.

• Type System - OPC UA Core Library has been moved under the Generic Object type and is hidden (filtered) by default.

More

• The More tab has dropdowns to pages for managing Enumerations, Libraries, Scripts, and other relatively static system data, like Measurement Units and Relationship Types. All interfaces for these pages have been updated, replacing the previous grid structure.

Type System

• Contents in the type system can now be filtered by Library using the funnel icon on the Types tree.
