Dear Users,

TopQuadrant is pleased to announce the official release of TopBraid 6.3!

TopBraid EDG version 6.3 delivers a new user experience for editing and viewing asset collections. We are excited about delivering a significantly enhanced user experience and believe you will find the UI looking sleeker and the experience more enjoyable!

Users will now be able to customize and personalize page layouts and get easier access to different features all within a flexible single page. In particular, this change simplifies and streamlines creation of ontology models. We are attaching to the release notes presentations that will help you familiarize yourself with these changes.

EDG version 6.3 also continues to deliver new functionality. A notable addition in 6.3 is the ability to annotate facts with additional statements. This can, for example, support capturing a provenance of a business term definition or an effective date for any value. Annotations can be made for any property value – relationship or attribute. Further, 6.3 improves support for repeated import and profiling of data sources. It also makes it easier to version a group of collections in one step. Improved APIs now provide GraphQL access to ontology models and to the change history data. These and other new features are described in more detail in the release notes.

Hello Holger et al,

Thank you for 6.3.0. The dark mode now works fine as for the forms text area highlighting with the DevStyles plugin.

Looking good!

Can we component documentation for making widgets to plug into editor, override options and a recipe to create a new tab using the React.js approach.

The asset main menu tab is still not scalable or customisable to handle more asset types - is anybody interested (or willing to share) a better version?

Or

Asset types navigator in the editors

The navigator will show new types of asset collections if you define new types of asset collections. You need a license to create custom asset collection types.

Scalability-wise, the design assumption is that user organization may create a few extra asset collection types, but they will not creating hundreds. It is not clear why would one want so many extra categories. Some people in TQ think that with the predefined collection types we already have too many and may be should do a bit of consolidation.

In any case, the blue navigator is designed with the assumption that there would not be hundreds of asset collection types. If there were, a different UX would be needed.
