formats.

nect.
- the cable lengths specified in a user attribute of the cables
▪ Searches can now have a 'has a value' constraint to filter out/ include blank or empty prop-
erty or attribute values.
▪ Searches / Data Formats now support the 'cable-element index' field which refers to the in-
dex of a cable-element within a multi-element cable. An example if the fiber strand or pair
index within a trunk cable.

free slots in a device.

output (such as open and close bracket symbols) should be escaped or not when exported.

handle on the Work Order that the objects belongs in. For example, to report on all devices
that are in Work Orders that are not yet executed in the field.

pies in a cabinet.
▪ Cabinet Data Formats now support a field to represent 'Available U Positions' which displays
the range of available U positions in a cabinet.
▪ It is now possible to specify that Searches are periodically run to generate snapshots of data
for future use in trending. For example, a periodic snapshot of the power consumption within
a data center.
▪ Searches / Data Formats now support the underlying database ID of an object as a con-
straint / display field.
▪ Implemented support for Dial type charts (in reports and annotations).

templates) to also incorporate port and slot labels. Also implemented an option that the port
or slot labels should be updated automatically when the equipment is moved (for example
from one slot to another slot).
▪ Implemented an option in the equipment context menu to 'Replace Equipment'. When se-
lected, the user can select an existing equipment to replace the selected equipment, for ex-
ample to model replacing a switch module.
▪ Implemented support for Virtual Hosts, Virtual Machines and Virtual Machine Clusters.
▪ Implemented an option to select a slot on an equipment and show the modules (templates)
that are compatible with that slot type.
▪ Implemented that whether an equipment's rack mounted property from the equipment tem-
plate can now be overridden in the equipment instance.
▪ Implemented an option in equipment templates that equipment instances of that template
should be rendered according to the physical dimensions of the equipment as opposed to as
an icon.

▪ An option to perform 'Port Connection Details' from a selected equipment. This will update
the Connection Details window with a connection trace from every port on the selected
equipment(and any modules within that equipment).
▪ An option in the Connection Details configuration to set the highlighting color, instead of the
previously defaulted yellow.
▪ An option in the Connection Details configuration to select which user attributes should be
displayed in the Connection Details.
▪ An option to 'line-wrap' the Connections Details. This option is useful when exporting a long
end-to-end connection to an easily printable format such as A4.
▪ Implemented a 'Conduits' section in the Connection Details configuration to allow specifica-
tion of whether to show Conduits or not.
▪ An option in the Connection Details configuration to show resource values and to select
which resource values to display.
▪ An option in the Connection Details configuration to display cable lengths where relevant.
▪ Implemented that the Connection Details can now display the label of cables which are con-
nected to two ports on the same equipment.
▪ Implemented that selecting a two-element cable (eg. A duplex patch cord) will now fire the
Connection Details for that cable.
▪ Implemented that when there is a connection between one module and another module on
the same top-level equipment, the connection details now shows the top-level equipment
twice in a single box with the modules inside.
▪ An option in the Connection Details configuration to specify the details to display in the quick
connect toolbar.
▪ Implemented a toggle button for "Connections Mode" to the Connections View toolbar. When
selected, the action of the former Alt + port click is performed.
11.2.10 Deployment Configuration

Extended the 'dir-image-cache' and 'dir-file-cache' server properties to support OS envi-
ronment variables (for example to allow the local image and file cache locations to be
specified using %USERPROFILE%). This option is useful in managed environments to en-
sure that the image and file caches are not stored on remote drives.

11.2.11 User Interface Languages
▪ Italian language pack has been added to the user interface.
▪ Spanish language pack has been added to the user interface.
▪ Chinese language pack has been added to the user interface
11.2.12 Resources
▪ Resource values of objects whose template default value has been overridden in the obje ct
instance are rendered in blue in the property sheet (to make it clear to the user that they
have a non-default value).
▪ Resource default values in templates can now be imported/exported via CSV format.
▪ Default values for resources can now be configured in the template dialogs in addition to the
resources overview.
11.2.13 History Overview

An Option to delete the history log without having to first export it
11.2.14 Templates
▪ There is a new template type 'Conduits' available to model objects through which cables are
routed such as trenches, ducts and pathways.
▪ Cabinet templates now have an option to specify that how equipment in instances of the
cabinet should be sorted (either according to the equipment label or according to the vertical
position of the equipment).
▪ For equipment templates, the 'Overview expression' property now applies to cabinet and
equipment overviews instead of just to location overviews.
▪ Cable templates now support 'Cable-element identifiers' whereby the default label of the ca-
ble-element can be overridden with a user-specified expression.
▪ Implemented support for 'Configurations' templates which are intended for 'compound tem-
plate' modeling, such as built-out equipment chassis and standard rack configurations.

lating to that user.
▪ There is now an option to forcibly log-out a logged-in user.
▪ For the user policies, there is now support for 'Inclusive Permissions' in addition to 'Exclusive
Permissions'.

cluding a 'favorite reports' configuration.

▪ Implemented option in Conduit overviews to view conduit cross section physical views.
11.2.22 General
▪ Implemented a global preference' Delete Confirmation Count' to make accidental deletes
less likely. If the number of objects to be deleted is more than a global preference number
then a second confirmation dialog listing the number and type of objects that will be deleted
is provided.
▪ Implemented that the F2 key can now be used as a shortcut for renaming objects.

ing and deleting of tracked data, as well as an option to create impromptu ch arts.
