Viz Pilot Edge 1.6.0

Release Date: 2020-05-28

These are the release notes for Viz Pilot Edge version 1.6.0. This document describes the user-visible changes that have been made to the software since release 1.5.1.

This release includes a major update of Template Builder.

Changes and New Features

  • Added the ability to sort Templates by modification date. (VPE-3120 )

  • Added support for automated opt-in collection of anonymized usage metrics, if used with Pilot Data Server 8.5 or above. (VPE-2810)

  • Auto-generated data element titles will now ignore " <unspecified>" values. ( VPE-3003)

  • Added support for native spellchecking in normalized text fields. (VPE-3287)

Fixed Issues

  • MOS fields <description> and <mosAbstract> are no longer truncated to 128 characters. (VPE-3245)

    Note: The auto generated title on save is capped at 200 characters. If a title generation string is specified, the 200 character limit does not apply. Director may still show truncated descriptions in the MOS playlist, as the Media Sequencer uses the <objSlug> field to populate the "description" attribute.

  • Opening Viz One MOS objects without media now gives a dialog instead of an error message. (VPE-2486)

  • Refreshing the data element list after clicking "Show more" now works properly. (VPE-3208)
