Enhancement Requests

Summary

Customer satisfaction is top priority for Stibo Systems. When customers make software enhancement requests, Stibo Systems works diligently to meet their business needs. Many of the changes available in 10.0 are implemented as solutions to these requests.

The list below highlights many of the enhancement requests that were completed in 10.0, but this is not a comprehensive list. Additional customer-requested enhancements not listed below were completed as part of previously planned roadmap-driven projects, as well as for specific product lines and/or customers, and are therefore not globally applicable.

Details

Solutions are listed below and include a cross-reference to a detailed release note where feature benefits are outlined.

• Users can now create unique identifiers for data containers based on the values of selected attributes and the IDs of selected reference types and allows multivalued data containers to be imported using Auto-ID. For details, see the Data Container Updates and Enhancements release note here.
• Enhancements were made to table transformations, benefiting users who build complex tables in workbench, including tables for the Automotive solution. Refer to the Publisher Enhancements release note for more information here.
• Users can now retrieve information about missing mandatory attribute values and reference links via the Scripting API and Extension API. For more information, see the API Enhancements and Updates release note here.
