18.2.6 Cloud Release Highlights

Paths functionality has been enhanced in a variety of areas.

• Selecting multiple paths highlights each path in a different color (which is listed in the paths list). Note that the Narrative view button is disabled when multiple paths are selected

• Paths are differentiated through shape and line color, as well as line and arrowhead thickness; this functionality is also present when the diagram is checked in

• Set multiple start and end points, and click lines to add them as waypoints

• Diagram elements not included in paths are faded out, and dashed lines to disconnected shapes can now be removed

• Use iGrafx API to collect complex path data

• Path selection will now be displayed when exporting to image; multi-path selection can also be exported

• Enter a URL to navigate to a diagram that already has the desired path highlighted

Enter an Object ID as a search term to quickly navigate to a repository Object.

Increase productivity by navigating directly to objects you interact with frequently.

• Enter an Object ID and press Enter to see your search results

• Filter by Object ID in the Search Results page

• Early Access Feature: Quick Search

  • Option to select Object ID as a filter in Quick Search dropdown

Note: Object ID's may be added to search result column headings or extracted from URLs

Example: https://subdomain.igrafxcloud.com/Process/pe/obj/258  The Object ID for the URL above is 258

Select objects in the Contains area to:

• Manage Cycles

• Move

• Copy

• Delete

Note: Not all objects have all cycles available; the cycle management area will list cycles common to all selected objects.

Adjust the appearance of diagrams by optionally hiding Pool headers.

• Select a Pool and toggle the Hide Header option in the Diagramming Properties panel

Note: When error checking is on, Pools in the top-level process of a BPMN diagram show an error when their header is hidden.
