Configuration improvements

The following improvements have been made to the configuration of Meridian Enterprise:

  • A new setting OutgoingRefType has been added to the application link settings for briefcases. This setting specifies the internal name of a reference type that is used to link briefcase transmittal reports to the briefcase source documents. The references are created from the vault copy of the transmittal report when it is generated.
  • Multiple drawing sheets in the same AutoCAD file are now supported by title block synchronization. A Multiple layout title blocks support option has been added to the Title Blocks page of a document type definition in Configurator. When this option is enabled, a system property page named Title Blocks appears in PowerUser and the Meridian Web Client. This page allows users to edit the title block properties independently for each layout. A new section in the AutoCAD link settings in Configurator allows a system administrator to specify custom names for the columns shown on the Title Blocks page.
  • The DisableTitleBlockUpdate registry value that was previously only available for AutoCAD title block properties now applies to all property types in all AutoCAD links.
  • The AutoUpdate application link setting that was previously only available for the AutoCAD P&ID link is now available for all title blocks.
  • Wildcard characters that were previously only supported by the Aliases setting for AutoCAD P&ID tag properties are now supported for all property types.
  • A new security privilege Convert to Hybrid has been added to documents. This privilege controls the availability of the new Convert to Hybrid command in PowerUser and the Meridian Web Client.
  • A new option Postfix has been added to the Type option of document types. The specified text is appended to the names of files that are converted into hybrid documents by the new Convert to Hybrid command.
  • A new email notification definition named As-built updated has been added to the Notification settings page in Meridian Enterprise Configurator. The new definition sends notifications to the selected recipient groups when a modified project copy is released and a new master revision is created.
  • Folder properties for which the List of existing values for this property option is enabled now show the list properly if the property is only used for folders. Previously, it would only show if the property was shared with documents.
  • The height of the text box of a memo property is now saved correctly the first time in Meridian Enterprise Configurator.
  • A new option Text Tag Search has been added to the Meridian Asset Management Module options. A regular expression can be specified that is used to match asset tag IDs found in the full-text index of documents. The matching asset tags can then be shown in PowerUser to link documents to matching vault objects.
  • A new setting DefaultRenditionExtension has been added to the [Vault] section of the Application Integration settings. This setting specifies the default file extension of documents to import as renditions of existing documents during drag-and-drop operations.
