DATAshaper Release 1.6.3

The long-awaited arrival of Major Release 1.6.3 is here at last!

This release incorporates numerous core features requested by our active projects. As always, we strive to address all major feature requests as outlined in our roadmap commitments. The latest version has been deployed to the demo environment for your review. Feel free to send us your much-appreciated feedback

β€œIt’s incredible how quickly my custom request was developed and included in the upcoming version!”

Project owner meetings

Did you know?

Whenever a customer submits a feature request, we address it during our Project Owners meeting, where we invite all end-users to contribute their individual requirements. This approach ensures alignment between our roadmap and the diverse needs across all projects.

Brand new DATAshaper excel add-in

New Excel add-in with much improved performance, simpler update process (can be managed by Office365 admin instead of individual users), improved user experience (Issues/Enrichment history are directly visible on the enrichment table), and easier configuration.

Batch Processing Scheduling options

Batch Processes now feature two additional occurrence options allowing you to schedule the process once in the future or to define a recurring pattern which can process your work before you get to the office saving you lead time.

Extraction from File Repositories (local on server or sharepoint) & MS SQL Servers

Both sources can now be defined in the Project Setup menu after which you can refer to these in the Extraction operation. In addition, the wizard will now ask to execute the extraction right away or schedule it in the Batch Processing screen.

Batch Processing Indicators

Ever wondered if your colleague is still running a similar process? Keep an eye on the new process indicator which will notify you of any processes that are currently still running which may prevent redundant runs.
