Timeline

• Changed analysis modules order. The analysis modules in the drop-down list are now sorted alphabetically to ensure a more intuitive navigation.
• Operational board enhancements. The operational board in the Process view analysis module received the same enhancements as the Dashboard feature. It is now possible to add new types of tiles like representations of separate analysis modules or static text notes. At the same time, it retained its compactness and strong binding to the adjacent schema - the data on tiles is responsive to the Primary path view configuration.
• Simulation analysis module updates. Simulation functionality is extended, and its internal mechanisms are improved. Among the changes:
  • New timelines can be now saved in the project after running the simulation. You can add the timelines created after the changes you made in a simulation configuration to your project. As a result, you will get a new process image to analyze, which can be helpful for testing purposes, optimization decisions, or the metrics behavior in the updated process.
  • Simulation schema validation is improved. Now the added milestone schema is subjected to additional checks. That helps to start the simulation only after making sure the schema is configured properly. For example, there are no nodes without transitions, etc.
  • Simulation results display became more user-friendly. The headers of the results table no longer disappear when scrolling, which makes it easier to review the table values.
• RegEx support in manifest file for SFTP upload. Regular expressions support allows providing a naming convention for multiple files to process and load them at one time. Hardcoding a file name in a manifest is no longer the only option for SFTP upload. This also makes adding more new files to upload easier.
• Automatic set recalculations. Sets data update is now initiated automatically after a new data upload. You no longer need to start the calculation manually. The recalculated values are visible in the Sets window right after uploading data.
• Table update time in Repository. A timestamp of the latest upload is now shown on a repository table. It is always visible when a table was updated the last time.
• Metric multiplication by a constant number. It is now possible to provide a number instead of a metric name in the Derived metric editor. In this case, the action defined by the selected operand is applied to the metric and a provided constant number as if it were another metric. This allows multiplying metric values and visualizing some scaling expectations.

Task Mining

• Form and Task editor improvements
  • Search in Definition editor. You can now perform a search in Task and Form editors to find the exact forms, controls, or applications. The task definition becomes easier due to the ability to find the needed entity from a long list by its name.
  • Frequency-based sorting for forms. Form editor now allows switching between alphabetical and Sort by frequency form orders. Sometimes the Timeline mechanism splits one actual form into several ones due to significant changes such as a scroll or a large drop-down list. To help you keep track of such cases, a new sorting method is now available to you. Its purpose is to show forms that often appear next to each other in a list adjacently.
  • Highlights on screenshots. The area related to a user action is now marked on the corresponding screenshot of a form in the properties pane.
  • Zebra striping for controls in Task editor. When you switch to the control-based log display, controls related to one and the same form now appear grouped and zebra-highlighted.
  • Application collapsing in Form editor. You can now use the arrow near a Form header to expand or collapse forms within presented applications.
  • Form selection in Task and Form editors. When you select a certain form in one of the editor tabs, the same form is automatically selected in the other one. With this change, you can easily find the form you want to change or include in tasks.
  • Log selection in Definition editor. Timeline allows switching between logs and selecting a specific one in Definition editor. You can click the button next to the log ID to select a log from the list of uploaded logs or use arrows to switch between logs.
  • Enhanced ignore mechanisms. If all controls within one form are ignored, the whole form will be marked as ignored. The same rule is applied when you ignore all forms in the application - the application becomes ignored too.
  • All logs option in Form editor. In Form editor, you can select All logs to see the whole list of applications and forms across all uploaded logs. This option is not active in Task editor.
• Other improvements
  • Discover task mechanism improvements. The approach of the task suggestion feature is changed. The program analyzes the forms you selected, defines start and end ones, and considers the rest as Added. These forms are considered by the mechanism when defining tasks, but they are no longer required. As a result, Discover task creates all possible task instances using the list of the forms you defined skipping those that are not present in the involved log.
  • Control level entities in ignored items list. The Ignored items list now can display more detailed event types, including control level options. All ignorable entities are now gathered in one place.
  • Form unification. All manual changes in the logs in a project now apply to all new logs after their upload. For example, renamed applications or forms will appear with the updated names in new logs, if there are matching ones.
  • Navigation between form instances and controls. Internal navigation between form instances and controls in the Task editor tab of the Definition editor is much easier now. You can navigate from a form to its previous or next instance in the log using the respective options of the context menu, opened by a right-click on a form. Navigation between controls is implemented in the same way.
  • Form browsing position reflected in Task editor. If you navigate to a form different from the one you opened initially in the Form control level window, the form selection in the Task editor will be changed accordingly and moved to the correct event. This way you no longer need additional actions to select the form that draws your attention after a closer look, your viewing position will be reflected in the Task editor.
  • Hotkeys for switching Forms and Controls. If you often need to switch between Form and Control log representations in Definition editor, you can now do it faster and easier. The levels became responsive to hotkeys in the Task editor tab: "F" - for form level, "C" - for control level.

Recording Service

• Internal mechanism updates. Recording Service features are constantly optimized and improved. In Timeline 6.1, the following changes are introduced:
  • The timing of screenshot captures is improved to make them more illustrative and informative in a context, for example, screenshots for combo boxes. Also, the methods of screenshot capturing are optimized to exert less load on the CPU when processing large amounts of data.
  • Form instance-defining mechanisms are improved to handle periodically occurring and complex content forms better. As a result, form instances definition became smarter and more precise.
• SSL connection to a remote database. Recording Service now supports SSL connection to remote databases to ensure easy and flexible access options, responsive to your infrastructure. This also means support for corporate solutions, for example, EnterpriseDB.

Timeline

• The updated order of events is not considered when building queries.
• Only the current URL of the customer's portal is now visible when embedding Timeline into iframe.
• Standard deviation value is now clearly visible in the Time range analysis module when hovering the mouse over a certain time range.
• Attribute names are no longer fully capitalized after being uploaded to a project. Now they are displayed exactly as they are in the source data.
• Values in columns with the data type "Number" are now sorted correctly in the Breakdown analysis module.
• The Customize button in Chart editor becomes available immediately after a chart preview appears and remains active all the time.
• Favorite dashboards are now sorted alphabetically by default.
• ETL Table Spreadsheet export no longer overflows the memory.
• The name of the sender is now shown along with the email address in the account invitation letters if First name and Last name are provided in the account details.
• Special characters are now supported in email addresses for registration.
• Logo images are now uploading correctly during the registration of a new OAuth client.
