Highlights & new features

The Product Requirements Editor offers a variety of new features designed to assist users in the management of real-time data delivery.

Examples include:

Autocomplete

  • What it does: Provides users with a list of parameters that exist in the parameter database
  • How to use: ctrl+space
  • Example video: Autocomplete copy.mov
  • Future enhancements:
    • search for ALL parameters by parameter ID
    • only display parameters that are valid in dissemination and valid for your current request (this is currently just a dump of all parameters from the parameter database)


Inheritance

  • What it does: Displays the data that is being inherited from the preceding dissemination request
  • How to use: hover over the (info) icon
  • Example video: Inheritance.mov
  • Future enhancements: selectively paste inherited data into the requirements

Snippets

  • What it does: Allows users to insert template requirements into their feed, which they can modify and use to build requests from scratch
  • How to use: hover over the <> icon
  • Example video: Snippet copy.mov
  • Future enhancements: snippets for ALL datasets will be added prior to the first release


Diff

  • What it does: Displays differences between:
    1. the operational version of a feed and the amended version of that same feed
    2. the operational version and a previous operational version
    3. two previous operational versions
  • How to use: select the 'view changes' action
  • Example video: Diff copy.mov
  • Future enhancements: add the option to save any changes that are made to the requirements while using the diff window
