2024.1
A new milestone,
new possibilities!
Discover the technical updates to the Author and Manager modules for 2024.
Part 2 – ADAM Author
In 2024, the Author and Manager platforms introduce significant technical updates aimed at enhancing productivity, flexibility, and the user experience for documentation management and development teams. In this article, we explore the main innovations brought by these new versions in Release 2024.1.
New Features in Author
In addition to the technical update, Author introduces new features designed to enhance the user experience and improve efficiency.
New editing features

Insertion at the Point of Use
Users can insert CIR, RAW DATA, DMRef, PMRef, ICN fragments (illustration, symbol, multimedia) at the exact cursor position in the document.

Highlighting Non-Breaking Spaces
Users can select a style sheet to clearly identify non-breaking spaces.
Support for Larson SVG Files
Support for Larson SVG files generated from CGM extraction, ensuring better compatibility with this graphic format.


Publication Filtering by Applicability
Users can now configure the publication of a Data Module (DM) directly within the interface, in the same way as in Manager. This feature includes the ability to filter publications by applicability.





Reduction of Applicability Expression Format
A simplified format for visualising applicability is now available to facilitate reading and management.
Managing Multiple Values for Applicability Conditions
When editing applicability expressions, it is now possible to select multiple conditions of the same type at the second level of the expression.

Alerts on Applicability Modifications
When changes are made to applicability assertions, an alert message now highlights the modifications made to the display text (displayText), thereby improving transparency and change traceability.

Applicability Assertions Counter
The system now displays the total number of available assertions directly on the selection button, making it easier to manage complex applicability rules.

Performance and Ergonomics Improvements

Display of Workflow Status
An additional column has been added to the DM and PM widgets to show the workflow status of documents. The colour codes used in Manager are now also applied in Author.

Warning About Loss of Undo Capability
When a user switches to XML view, a message is now displayed to alert them of the loss of undo history (UNDO).
Modification of the Button Allowing Project Switching from the Home Page

We wish you a pleasant discovery of this Release 2024.1 and hope it enhances your experience with the ADAM Suite.
Kind regards,
The ADAM Team
