Structure and efficiency. The PDM Studio 2023 Maintenance Pack MP07 is dedicated to these two core topics. New validation rules speed up document validation. Existing functions such as revision selection for combined documents are integrated into additional wizards and GUI windows. Icons in the Where Used panel now allow you to quickly recognize whether a document - even of different revisions - is assigned to a project, an article or both.
In the following, we give you an overview of the most important optimizations and new features of MP07 of PDM Studio 2023. You can find all information in the ReadMe file.
Server Administrator
In addition to the current data storage, other data storages can now also be checked.
Client Administrator
- Integration of the Clever Import functionality in the plugin for plausibility checks on the decision of the document type when importing via multiple paths
- New option “Use already imported documents based on”, which either starts the import wizard or tries to use the highest revision for documents to be imported that match more than one already managed document
- Configuring the panel hierarchy now for the “Static structure” window as the top level
PDM Studio
- Support for revision selection for non-master documents now also in the “Structure” and “Where Used panel” windows
- New icons in the “Where Used panel” window that indicate whether a document – even of different revisions – is assigned to a project, an article or both
- New options in the first selection step of the revision and update wizards:
- Open root document and check out all revised documents
- Replaces the revised documents in parent documents, articles, projects or standard categories
- New option in the Update and Update Where used documents wizards: Replaces the updated documents in the parent articles, projects or standard categories
- Checking rules in the wizards in the Check documents step: This allows to automatically fix or ignore problems without further user intervention in this step in the Copy, Share and Revise document wizards (default setting in Client Administrator)
- Adjustments and expansion of the copy wizard:
- The previous options “Open top document” and “Check out all copied documents” have been combined into the new option “Open root document and check out all copied ‘Check out’.erigen Optionen „Oberstes Dokument öffnen“ und „Auschecken aller kopierten Dokumente" wurden zur neuen Option „Wurzeldokument öffnen und alle kopierten "Auschecken" zusammengefasst.
- A new option “Copy from last revision” has been implemented. If the selection contains outdated documents and these are selected, the latest revisions are copied instead of the existing revisions when the “Copy from last revision” option is activated.
- Extension of the option in the versioning wizard for combined documents: the previous option “Open new version of a combined document” has been replaced by the new option “Open new version of combined document(s) and check out all”.
