Decision Modeler

New and Improved Features:

• A FEEL functions group was added to the DMN ribbon to provide a reference of the FEEL language. The functions are broken down in the following categories
• Logical
• Text
• Date and Time
• List
• Math
• Hovering over one of the FEEL function will give you its documentation, alternatively, you can click on them to view the documentation.
• When editing a FEEL expression in a decision logic, clicking on a FEEL functions can be used to directly insert that function at your carret position.
• It is now possible to reorder the data types in the Data Type dialog by dragging and dropping them.

Bug Fixes:

• Now the autocompletion will propose true and false automatically for decision table output columns of type boolean.
• We now serialize the di:text attribute that was accepted for DMN 1.2. This replaces the Trisotech vendor extension triso:displayName.

New and Improved Features:

• When viewing a decision logic, you can now go back to the diagram depicting the decision or BKM by clicking on the new Digram button in the DMN Ribbon.
• While defining data types, it is now possible to expand inline other complex types that are part of the structure. Previously, they opened in a separate dialog.

Bug Fixes:

• When using the XSD import, we have improved the error messages when dealing with incomplete types, imports and includes.
• When using the FEEL autocomplete, long variable names are now easier to pick.
• Improved the autocompletion of decision table output column for values that contain mathematical operators defined as possible output values.
• FEEL parser improvement to recognize the item keywork in a filter applied to an implicit list.
• Removed an unnecessary warning that would incorrectly report an DMN XML import issue when importing a data type referenced another datatype defined later in the file.
• In some cases, test cases expecting null values as decision output would not report properly.

New and Improved Features:

• Data Types can now be imported from an XML Schema file (XSD). When doing that import, elements defined in the XSD file will be imported as a data type.
• Structure inside a data type can now be refactored as a first level data type by clicking on the black arrow in the right of an embedded structure and selecting Refactor as a Type from the dropdown menu.
• For performance consideration, large data type are collapsed (with a show more button to expand) by default when accessing them.

Bug Fixes:

• Visio import improved support for orphean shapes without master stencils.

New and Improved Features:

• The decision Run button was renamed Test as this is really let you test your decision logic.
• Using the decision test and animation features, we now save your input data you entered even if you did not run the test or animation.

• When testing or animating a decision, entering an empty line in a list will now be ignored.

Bug Fixes:

• Corrected an issue that would in some very specific condition present a string result as an array of characters when testing or animating a decision.
• DMN Viewer would sometime generate an error on load for certain models.
• Page tabs with extremely long name would sometime hide the All tab.
• Improved the touch interaction for laptops with touchscreens in chrome for windows.
• List of boolean were sometime incorrectly viewed as NaN in the decision test and animation.
• While testing or animating decisions, if a single value is returned when a list is expected, that value was viewed as a list.
• When exporting a group with a background color in edge, that color would be painted over the content.

New and Improved Features:

• Support for older version of Internet Explorer (version 9 and 10) will end in December 2017. Users still using these versions will get a non-blocking notification when they open a session. Microsoft have already deprecated its support of IE 9/10 since January 2016, you can refer to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/end-of-ie-support for an upgrade. Support for Internet Explorer 11, Edge, Chrome and Firefox will continue after December 2017.
• Decision logic output data type is now depicted in italic under the decision logic name when viewing a decision logic tab.
• Decision logic output data type can now be modified in the decision logic tab by clicking on it (under the decision logic name) or by using the contextual menu (right-click) of the decision logic name.
• Relation (decision logic) now support their import and export using the excel format.
• When animating or running a decision that contain lists, it is now possible to clear a list using the eraser button.
• Previously saved test cases can now be reloaded in the decision run interface using the load button.
• After running a decision, the Run button (to return to the decision input dialog) was renamed Back to remove the usage confusion.

Bug Fixes:

• Test case buttons are not affected anymore by very long test cases names.
• When saving a test case with an existing name, it will now replace it.

New and Improved Features:

• You can now save your execution results as Test Cases.
  • From the Run dialog in the Execution ribbon, once you have executed a decision, you can save the result as a Test Case.
  • You can view the test cases using the Test Cases button in the Execution and DMN ribbon.
  • From the Test Cases dialog, you can run a single test case or all Test Cases defined for a decision.
• When running or animating a decision, you can now also download a template containing the current content of a list to facilitate the data entry in Excel for import.
• When working with Boxed Contexts, a new small black arrow is now visible in the top right corner to facilitate the access to advanced attributes of the row such as toggling the collection attribute or deleting that row.

New and Improved Features:

• When animating or executing Decisions, you can now import an Excel spreadsheets for list inputs. The first line of the spreadsheet should be the column headers containing variable names and then each line corresponds to an element in the list (same as presented in the user interface). In an upcoming release, we will offer file template download.
• Improved the auto completion choices available in the FEEL code editor when using multiple level of structured elements.
• When selecting multiple models (to move or delete them), you can now use standard shortcut keys to select multiple models (CTRL-key) or a range (SHIFT-Key). Also, you can now access the multiple selection operations using the right click mouse button without deselecting other models.

Bug Fixes:

• Corrected an issue in the generation of reports for certain models when the Complete DMN Attribute option was used.

New and Improved Features:

• It is now possible to move models to different sub folders in one of your Trisotech Cloud places.

• In the FEEL editor, typing date/dateTime and duration will be recognized and rendered in italic. Upon saving the expression, it will be converted to the complete FEEL syntax.
• Animating and executing a model that outputs a date/dateTime or duration will now display the results in a more human readable format.

New and Improved Features:

• You can now clone places. To clone a place, go under the File tab under Open/Save/Save As and right click on the place to clone to provide a new name.

Bug Fixes:

• Automatically assign a default type to context entry in boxed functions.
• Corrected an issue with square link routing on some occasion when the source or target shape were resized.

New and Improved Features:

• It is now possible to create an output data type automatically based on a decision, context or relations implicit definition. For instance, if you have created a decision with 3 output columns, you can use the Create Output Data Type button from the DMN ribbon to associate a new type based on the output columns.

Bug Fixes:

• Reduced the white margin of the list input/outputs when executing or animating decisions.
