Analytics dashboards embedded for all AM Expert users

The default analytics dashboard is now embedded directly in the PLM Analytics tab, making it available to all Expert users by default, not forcing users to enter the organization panel. Further, the Reports section was removed and the scatterplot was included in the analytics dashboard.

Update part information completeness

We updated the part information completeness logic, to include all properties existing on the used form. The displayed percentage is now referencing the total number of properties in the form as 100%.

Digital Inventory Management

Enhanced Catalog Management with Private and Public Part Options

We're excited to announce a new feature that enhances the control that Catalog admins have over customer access to the Catalog. With this update, Catalog admins can now differentiate between private and public options when adding parts to the Catalog. When creating a new part, Catalog admins can choose whether to make it available to all users on the platform or limited to a specific customer group. Private parts are only visible to users belonging to the customer group, while public parts can be seen and ordered by any user. This enhancement helps Catalog admins to ensure that customers only see the relevant parts, streamlining the Catalog management process.

Improved Filtering for Technology and Service Attributes in the Basket

We're excited to introduce a new feature that allows end users to filter offers based on specific technology and service attributes. As a user, you can now easily find Services that meet your specific requirements, such as ITAR compliance or being a veteran-owned company. This enhancement streamlines your search process and ensures that you get the most relevant results.

Functionality is available for the New Basket. See the documentation on how to enable it

Improved User Efficiency with Pre-Filled Prices on Create/Edit Quote/Order

This update adds pre-calculated prices that are automatically filled in on Create/Edit Quote/Order to streamline the order creation process. Material, PP, and shipping prices will be pre-filled with suggested or default prices to help users create orders with as few clicks as possible. To ensure accuracy and avoid overwriting preset prices, the system will not automatically overwrite any preset prices in Edit Quote/Order.

Notifications for Unavailable Part Configurations

This update provides a new feature for UP users that notifies them when a part configuration in their open basket is no longer offered. This notification helps users to avoid issues during the ordering/ requesting/ quoting process and ensures that their parts are correctly configured.

Stay Informed with Comment Edit Notifications

With this update, you will receive an email notification when a comment is edited, helping you to stay informed of any changes that may impact how you produce a part. This feature ensures that you never miss important information and can make any necessary adjustments in a timely manner.

Production Quality Management

Improved Part List Display with Truncated Part Names

With this update, long part names that break the Part List display and move important columns out of view on the right will be truncated, ensuring that you have more valuable information onscreen without the need to scroll. This enhancement streamlines the Part List display, making it easier to access and view all necessary information.

Streamlined Workflow with Preselected Sequence Groups

When moving to the next step after selecting sequences, all sequence groups will be preselected, eliminating the need for users to manually select them again. This enhancement simplifies the process for MES users, helping them to complete their tasks more easily and quickly.

More Improvements

  • Labels and checkboxes/switches are now arranged next to each other instead of below, improving readability in several areas of the platform.

  • Chinese Yuan (CNY) is now an available currency on the platform.

  • Workstations of type “Other” can now only be assigned to workflow steps of type “Other”. Before they were allowed to be assigned to any kind of workflow step, which could lead to inconsistencies.

Bug fixes

  • In the new Basket design, the Preferred Due Date was shown as a mandatory input even if in the admin panel the field was set to be hidden. This is now fixed.

  • Long material or post-processing names were truncated in the new Basket design. We now show them in full, so that customers always see the entire name.

  • The breadcrumbs in the wizard of the new basket were not highlighted correctly when the Service selection was hidden. This is now fixed.

  • We have fixed an issue where ID strings on Service Panel tables (Order/Request/Quote) were not displaying as links, and on right-mouse-button click the context menu was not appearing. This has now been fixed, and the ID string will appear as a link, and the right-click menu will be available.

  • We have fixed a bug in the Org-Admin Panel where User Profile Pages were not rendering correctly. This issue has now been resolved and all User Profile Pages can now be viewed correctly.

  • A bug prevented Catalog admins from adding parts to the Catalog when no customer group was defined. This works as expected again.

  • We have fixed an issue where the material order was not preserved in the new basket, ensuring that customers have materials in the order they want.
