Part Screening, Business Case & Qualification

Create personal and organisation-wide quick filters

To further increase the efficiency and usability of the part list, we extended our quick filter functionality to enable the creation of personal and global quick filters directly on the part list page. Quick filters

Quick filter section in part list settings drawer

For this we created a part list settings drawer, combining the column selection with the new quick filter management. Quick filters can be created by any user by simply clicking “Save Filter As” after applying some filters on the part list. After clicking save, users are required to give the quick filter a name for later identification in the quick filter bar. While general users can only create personal quick filters, organization admins are able to create global quick filters which are present and usable for all users.

Previewable PDF attachments

PDF attachments of parts are now previewable when hovering over them on the part list or part detail page in the AM part identification.

All part properties on the part detail page

We extended the list of part properties shown under part details to now list all properties associated with this part. By default, all part properties present in the used part form will be listed, and empty part properties will be visualized with a dash (“-”) as a placeholder for the property value.

Any part data present, but not part of the original part form, will be listed in the bottom section of the part details “Other”.

Additional standard properties

We created 2 new standard properties that can be used within part creation forms:

  • Expected Downtime

    • Enabling the user to input how much downtime is caused by a missing part. This input data can be used in our default savings estimation, represented as downtime avoidance.

  • Safety Class

    • Enabling users to input a part safety criticality, as low, medium, or high. This offers the development of standard and custom logic and scoring, based on a parts safety class.

Enhanced User Role Management for Procurement Control

In our latest update, we've introduced a more granular user role management system to enhance procurement control. We've divided the existing 'User Panel User' role into two distinct roles: 'UP Viewer' and 'UP Buyer'.

The 'UP Viewer' role allows users to browse the catalog, open the help page, see quick links, and modify their profile. The 'UP Buyer' role, on the other hand, includes all 'UP Viewer' permissions and adds the ability to create baskets, requests, and place orders directly from the basket or catalog.

We've also added a new organization setting that determines the default user panel permission for new users, with 'UP Buyer' as the default.

In addition, we've refined the project-sharing logic to limit sharing to 'UP Buyer' users only. Any attempt to share a project with a 'UP Viewer' user will trigger an error message.

Please note, the 'Add to Basket' button in the catalog item drawer will now be hidden from 'UP Viewer' users.

Lastly, 'UP Viewer' users will now land directly on the Catalog upon login, and will not see Home, 3D Projects, Quotes, Requests, and Orders in the navigation bar.

All the current ‘User Panel User’ users will have the ‘User Panel Buyer’ assigned automatically, as it has the same permission scope.

Simultaneously, we are moving the option to configure User Panel access from the Organization Panel to the Admin Panel. This is in line with our general theme of managing roles and permissions in the admin panel.

This update provides organizations with more control over procurement processes by clearly defining user permissions and roles.

Quality Management & Machine Connection

Produce and Track More Parts Than Ordered (“Overquantity”)

We are excited to introduce an enhanced feature that empowers production planners with greater flexibility in scheduling and printing parts. With this update, you can now schedule and print a higher quantity of parts than initially ordered, enabling you to account for estimated scrap rates and mitigate potential risks.

By allowing the scheduling of additional parts beyond the required quantity, our solution addresses two critical challenges. First, it eliminates the need for reprinting parts at a later stage, saving valuable time and resources. Second, it significantly reduces the risk of missing target dates for orders, ensuring smoother production planning and fulfillment.

Extra quantities can be introduced manually per part or via the automated Magics CSV import.

Other improvements

  • We made a few further improvements to the loading performance of the MES Parts list. Further updates will follow.

  • In the German version of the checkout, we changed the button label for finalizing the order from ”Kostenpflichtig bestellen” to “Kaufen”.

Bug fixes

  • [ERP] Resolved an issue that was preventing the creation of Quote PDFs from the Service Panel, even with complete shipping and billing information, which was previously resulting in a '500 Server Error'; the system now successfully generates PDFs as expected.

  • [ERP] Fixed an issue in the User Panel where the 'Create PDF' button was disabled on the Quote detail page, preventing users from creating Quote PDFs; users can now proceed to the 'Create PDF checkout' page to set shipping and billing info and generate PDFs as intended.

  • [ERP] Addressed an issue where the unit price was not consistently initialized when creating an order or quote in the Service Panel when materials had orientation optimization activated. The system now ensures the unit price is initialized correctly, allowing for the successful creation of orders and quotes.

  • [ERP] Resolved an issue where multiple order download was not functioning properly for large orders and large files, resulting in a file without an extension being downloaded or a network timeout error. The system now correctly downloads a zip file with all 3D models from the selected orders.

  • [MES] It was possible to change the sequences of jobs already finished. This is not allowed anymore.

Administration Actions

New ST Rejection Webhook for Rejected Requests, Quotes, Orders

We have published a new webhook that fires whenever any sales transaction - order, quote or request - is rejected. The ability to reject requests and quotes was introduced in 23.5. Rejecting an order was up until then called “canceling an order”.

Customers who use the Order Status Change Webhook to be informed about rejected (canceled) orders need to start using the new St Rejection Webhook.
