Client improvements

The following improvements have been made to the Meridian Enterprise client applications:

• The property values of two documents may now be compared in addition to graphical comparison. Users with the Set Property Value privilege may also update the properties of one document from the values of the other document.
• The Document Import Tool has been changed such that when a file is not found in the location specified in the import database, an error is added to the import log instead of creating an empty document as was done previously. To create an empty document, leave the path field empty.
• When copying a document in Web Access, if wizard pages are shown, the selected document becomes the new document instead of the original document.
• Hybrid documents may now be created in Offline Mode with the application links. However, hybrid relationships cannot be created with documents that exist only in Local Workspace and do not yet exist in the vault. Such documents must be synchronized with the vault first so that they are assigned document types that define the hybrid part relationships.
• Prior revisions of hybrid document parts may now be seen in the Show Revisions dialog. The revisions of the hybrid document parts that are shown are the revisions that were effective when the main document part was released. Prior to this release, hybrid document parts were always associated only with the current revision of the main document. This new feature enables more effective product configuration management.
• The positions of columns in the Show Revisions dialog is now saved between sessions. The positions are saved per vault.
• A new command Add to My Search Results has been added to the document shortcut menu to make it easier to add documents to personal static collections.
• Due to the lack of 64-bit OLE DB drivers from Microsoft, the MS Access format option for reports and open standard briefcase metadata has been removed from the 64-bit client applications. Document metadata created in open standard formats using a Meridian 64-bit version is now stored in XML format by default.
• The URL of documents is now shown at the bottom of the General page in Web Access. The URL can be copied to the Windows Clipboard and pasted into other applications (for example, email) in order to provide a hyperlink to the latest released revision of the document.
• The dialog that displays the workflow diagram of a document or folder when the user clicks the Status hyperlink on the Document or Folder property page now lists the interlock status of outgoing workflow transitions.
• Property value filters may now be defined for the My Search Results, static collection, and dynamic collection views similar to defining filters in MS Excel.
• The Unlock Master Document command has been added to the Managed Change feature set of Meridian. The command can be used to unlock master documents for which the project copy documents have been deleted, for example.
• A Go to command has been added to a shortcut menu that is available for documents in the Show References dialog.
• The references of a master document being copied to a project folder may now be individually selected for copying to the project.
