Knowledge Catalog

Showing 87

In the list of catalog assets, I would like to choose which attributes are shown as headers and their order

I would like to sort the list based on a custom attribute, but now that attribute is not available as header. Basically I'd like to let users find out easily the maximum value for that field. There are also a couple other custom attributes defined...

The batch import of e.g. terms lacks individuality - one can only handle the batch approval/review/publish in bulk. Allow as an option handling of individual artifacts

Three use cases: a) a couple out of the batch should be rejected If there is two terms in a batch of 100 that should be edited before approved, then the full batch needs to be rejected until those two are in better shape. This is not a problem if ...

Capability to add "embedded hyperlinks" to text attributes.

We have some custom text attributes where we are storing hyperlinks to some external content. We offer for example attributes for links to business information model, and for the technical assets stored in another software. It would make things ne...
