1.1328

Released on 3rd December, 2014
  • Data Schemas & Hooks
    • new Invalid Data Hooks are indicated more visibly in the Hooks building screen with yellow or red warning triangles. Hooks may become invalid for a variety of reasons, such as the Schema being changed by the Provider or properties not being set.
    • new A new 'Rebuild All' button forces all Hooks to re-validate and attempt to fix up any errors automatically.
    • new Wildcard value ('*') is now supported as a Constraint value for List Hooks. This allows Constraints to be added to support Filters in Template Controls, without the Constraint affecting Sample Data output evaluation in the Hook builder screen, so that Constraints no longer have to be deleted and recreated.
    • fix Hooks with Lookups not evaluating correctly when within a Grouped List.
  • Template Controls
    • new New User Input control, allows choice of data type, and new type 'Position', and combined now with Image control. a) Position control can show x or y or z, and links to a ControlContainer plugin in viz. b) Image control can now link from data to an image in an Ignition ImageSet - selecting the image by it's Code value.
    • new New versions of Table and List controls, allows more precise control of editing by user: 'Display Filters' allow selecting which row(s) are displayed to the user in the data entry web screen, optionally linked to another selector control - e.g. selecting a single player from a formation list.
    • new Preview Point behaviour binding to User Options control now automatically populates with all Stops or Pauses found on the Default director.
    • new Old versions of controls have been left in the system so as not to break existing Templates, but are now marked as 'Deprecated', and shaded in light-red to indicate this. There is no need to immediately rework Templates with these controls in, but the controls may be removed some time in the future.
  • Viz Scene Parsing
    • new When Ignition parses a Viz Scene (on first setting on a Template, or on 'Refresh Controls' button), it now also checks the number of Stops or Pauses in the Default director. This is used to: a) Make a somewhat more accurate estimate of Clip Length. b) Automatically populate Preview Points when binding Preview Point to a User Options Template Control.
  • Web Client
    • new New versions of Template Controls have new corresponding Edit Controls on the Web client, along with some tidying of styles.
    • new Drop-down selector controls now also have select-up and select-down buttons for easier checking through of options. Useful for example for Preview selectors.
