Laces Data Platform v8.0#

Release date: March 2, 2021

Group changes#

The groups overview is now visualised as a tree. This makes it easier and faster to navigate through your groups structure. Repositories are still only shown once a group has been selected. The icons on the right side of the screen indicate the number of repositories within a group.

Groups explanation

The rules for user groups have also been modified. It is now possible to add either public or private repositories to a user group. Please note that adding a public repository to your user group will result in the group being findable by all other users as well.

Changes to approved applications#

When setting the appropriate permissions for an approved applications, all groups and repositories will now be shown in one convenient tree view. This makes it easier to find the right groups and repositories for which the approved applications needs access. On top of that, an application can now be given permissions to an entire group at once. Once the application has access to a group, any new repositories that are created within this group will be directly accessible too.

Global search function#

Next to the specific search option for groups (in the groups overview), it is now possible to search the LDP for groups, repositories and publications at the same time. Of course, the search results will only show items that the user has access to.

Publication improvements#

Several improvements have been made to the publication functionality:

  • Publications can now also be created and downloaded from within the LDP user interface.
  • When creating a publication using an application, users no longer have to make use of a number of pre-defined segments (e.g. adding 'private/live/semmtech/library/context/' to the publication URL). It is now possible to only add the publication name to the URL, or any number of self-defined segments.
  • Several improvements have been made to the querying functionality in the LDP user interface. Queries that return results with a lot of columns will now be visualised more clearly. On top of that, there is no longer a constraint to the maximum length of a query.
