Improvements

User Management

The User Management functionality has seen a major improvement. Now, it ismore user-friendly and simple to use. The Granted Authorizations tab information is now under the Role (1) and Groups (2) section.

Note

In previous versions of PoolParty, User Management was more complex. Sometimes a user had to have more than one role assigned to get all the required permissions. User Management was changed to be more intuitive. A user only needs one role to get the required permissions.

TheUser Information table (3) had been reworked and improved. To access the main user information, click on theUsers in theUser Management Tree table. On the one hand, more information is being shown which is more convenient. On the other hand, it is more interactive because you can just click on each user and access the information. The interface elements are linked in such a way that it is possible to select many resources such as username and role or groups.

Project Linking

Project linking was extended. Before, a custom relation of a custom scheme was available if one of the following was true:

  • 'Concept' as domain and range was specified or,

  • neither the domain nor the range were specified.

Now, it is possible to link concepts in different projects using a custom relation which requires a custom class. The custom relation 'consists of' is shown (1) with the domain 'Cocktail' and the range 'Ingredient'.

To see the link to the other project, simply click on the concept. You can find the link in the 'consists of' relation.

Configure Display Text and Sort in Hierarchy Tree

How to Configure the Display Text in the Hierarchy Tree

The hierarchy tree has been enhanced. Now, the user can configure the text which is displayed in the Hierarchy Tree. The displayed text can include the prefLabel, custom attributes, and user defined text. To configure the displayed text, open theLabeldialog (1). There are various options. Either select an attribute from the drop-down list, or press the Enter key inside the input field and start typing free text. To finish the configuration, click ApplyLabel.

How to Sort Concepts in The Hierarchy Tree

The ability to sort concepts is another great new feature. By default, the tree is sorted by prefLabel in the default language. The user can use the custom attributes. The sort order can be either alphabetical or numerical depending on the data type of the attribute. To customize the sort order, right click on the project and select Sorting (3). Choose prefLabel or an attribute from a custom scheme (4). Decide on the sorting direction. Click Apply Sorting.

Note

Use custom attributes for both configuring the displayed text in the Hierarchy Tree and for sorting the concepts. The custom attributes cannot be of URI or Boolean value. They have to be unique or unique per language.

New Key in poolparty.properties File

As of this version, the following key is mandatory in the poolparty.properties file:

# base url for graph namespaces (as of version 7.2.0)
url.base.context=url.base.scheme

This key and value determine the wayURIs are derived in the database and the new key added to the previous ones ensures data consistency and performance across system restarts.

Bug Fixes

  • Integration of suggested concepts was not working as expected, in Workflow Management. This issue has been fixed.

  • Narrower concepts could not be added in the PoolParty interface, and merging in certain situations presented issues. This is working again as expected.

  • The interface reverted to German language display, in spite of correct settings in the language settings of project and user settings. This has been fixed.

  • Concept labels in the Hierarchy Tree would display cut off at top and bottom when using more than one line to display. This also is working again as expected.

API Changes and Improvements

User Management API

  • /PoolParty/api/user: return attribute changed to 'role'

  • /PoolParty/api/user/addUser: request parameter changed to 'role'

  • /PoolParty/api/user/updateUser: request parameter changed to 'role'

These three calls have changed to make usage more appropriate to the new user role model:

  • the return and the request parameter 'roles' has changed to 'role'.

  • instead of an array you will now use the role parameter as a string.

  • the returns for the 'role' attribute also are no longer arrays but a string or strings.
