Q2 2022

Realtime ADM: Changed Behaviour

The following will be changed in realtime ADM.

When a multi record is dirty, no realtime notifications will be processed. The user will only see a notification that there were changes. The multi record view will be considered as dirty when the user:

  • filters the data;
  • sorts the data;
  • makes a selection of rows;
  • executes list item functions.

In this notification, the user has the possibility to retrieve the changes. The user will visually see what has been changed when processing the changes.

When a new record has been added, the user will always see a notification. It is no longer possible to get this new change real time.

BAM Service

All log files will be processed by a new Windows Service instead of the current Process BAM Logging method job. The service will take the CPU consumption into account when processing all files.

The BAM Service will offer support for SQL partitioning. This ensures a much faster cleanup of logging. This is only supported on SQL Standard 2016 or higher or the Enterprise editions of 2012 and 2014.

Multi Threading of Interface Processes

Just like BCM processes, also interface processes will be multi threaded. This will reduce the memory consumption on the server and gives a performance boost.

Data Extensions

The data extensions functionality can use some love from our developers. It has been untouched for a while and needs to be updated to support upcoming scenarios. We will improve the configuration screens and furthermore allow you to configure parallel running data extensions. The screenshot below gives you insights in what you can expect from this revamp.

Improved Data Extensions UI

Ometa Smart Tiles

The Ometa Smart Tiles will be introduced to make web based portals more attractive and provide key information to end users. The Smart Tiles can be used to create navigation, visualise KPIs or the combination of both. When navigation is incorporated in the view, the user can click the tile to navigate.

Example of the Ometa Smart Tiles

In future updates, this new component will be extended:

  • Overwrite cultures instead of using the OOTB .NET cultures.
  • Configure the Show Date / Show Time options.
  • Configure decimals to be displayed.
  • Configure security to hide tiles conditionality or don't show data conditionally.

Timeline Chart

A new timeline chart will be introduced to visualise events on a time based axis.

Q3 - Q4 2022

Performance

Performance is very important, and the Ometa Framework will be continously updated to speed up the general performance.

Documents ADM

Add better support for configuring a document ADM. A new view type will be introduced to facilitate this.

Technology Updates

We always want to stay up to date with the technologies used in the Ometa Framework. Therefore, an upgrade of Angular and .NET Core will be planned.

Database Model

Move XML storage to database storage. This will have a signaficant performance boost.

Ometa Tasks

Improvements on the Ometa Tasks module:

  • Improved mails
  • Better UX for task history view
  • Multi language support

2023

Templates

Build dashboards and collaboration portals outside SharePoint with Ometa Templates. Ometa Templates will give you full flexbility to build responsive apps with support for all devices.
