Evolve 3.0 Release Notes (4288611)

Release Notes

Product: Casewise Evolve 3.0

Building upon the success of our Casewise Suite 2015 SR2 release this summer, the latest release of the Evolve platform presents more features, further enhancements and greater control to your enterprise. Evolve 3.0 offers new text editing compatibility with full formatting support to compliment Casewise Modeler 2015 SR2.

We are also proud to announce that the Vector Diagram is no longer in beta status and now supports the vast majority of diagrams used in Corporate Modeler. Diagrams are rendered as vectors to offer a far superior image quality than has ever been available before.

Adding to our wealth of visualization components is the Radar Layout, providing a whole new way to view the data contained within your models. Continuing our enhancements to the Workflow capabilities, users can now delegate tasks, customize deadlines, add review comments to validation requests, and at a glance, view the pending validation status of Objects.

Text Editor

Following on from the new rich text editing experience introduced to you in Casewise Suite 2015 SR2, Evolve 3.0 brings the flexibility of controls more commonly found in word processors to your fingertips with the Text Editor.

Use enhanced formatting options to easily edit text fields and other HTML elements. Text Editor enables a more holistic approach to editing by allowing you to seamlessly transfer rich text edits across the entire Casewise Suite and straight to your Evolve Site.

Vector Diagrams

We're excited to formally release the Vector (HTML5) Diagram support out of beta to increase the user experience and overall usability of the diagram itself. The feature reduces the amount of white space surrounding diagrams (when used in conjunction with the full screen setting) and creates sharper images that retain clarity when viewed online.

Try the new Zoom tool to zero in on specific detail, or the Pan tool to accurately position your work. A high-speed design further enables you to quickly build dynamic diagrams that users can click through to reveal hidden data layers.

The Vector (HTML5) Diagram feature has also been updated to include additional support for extra regions, diagram elements and shapes. Updates include support for Version Control and Free Text, as well as the following Shape Region Types: Property Value, Property Value (Custom), and Property Visualization using Reference Property.

Radar Visualization

Add flare to the way you visualize your data in Evolve using the new Radar Visualization. Use industry standard radar charts to consolidate the multiple values of a single object.

Alternatively, use the Radar Visualization to neatly capture and compare multiple values of many objects against one another. Elegantly overlay multiple dimensions of Object data to present a means of instant analysis for users at a glance.

Workflow

Task Delegation

Revolutionize your growing workload with Workflow Task Delegation to effortlessly distribute tasks to your team. When a user opens a task that is assigned to them as To Do, they are presented with the option to action the task themselves or to delegate it to another user:

Selecting to delegate to another user presents a list of possible users of which one can be selected and allows the user to add a comment or message which is visible to the delegate.

The Task's History will be updated to show the task delegation.

Validator Comments

A new submit control enables users to add or edit comments when submitting a task for actioning.

Object Validation Status

View the status of object validation requests at a glance with the new Object Validation Status display. When an Object has a pending validation request associated with it, a message informing users of its current status displays at the top of the Page Menu on the Object Page.

Custom Due Date

Customize due dates to automatically assign meaningful deadlines and prioritization of tasks. Use the new 'Change Due Date' feature to change the date of a task's deadline.
By default, dates are selected using a pre-configured 'Due Date Interval' which is set in the Server Configuration. This can be overridden by the user by selecting their own date in the Date Picker as they create a task.

Active Directory Support

Evolve 3.0 introduces several improvements to better support Active Directory integration for user authentication. Evolve now supports SSL with Active Directory, Nested Groups and Multiple Active Directory Domains.
