Public APIs
Documentation of the Activity API is now available.
Designer
- Toolbar and icon changes.
- The toolbar has changed to display less buttons initially and an option to display all.
- The order of icons has changed.
The icons for the following functions changed:
- Pipeline Properties
- Copy
- Versions
- Zoom to Fit
Functionality change: Validation separated from Save.
- New Validate pipeline icon in the toolbar. Clicking the Validate pipeline icon validates the pipeline. If the pipeline has unsaved changes, it will be saved first. Clicking the icon while a validation is in process cancels that validation.
- The Auto-validate option in User Settings was modified to now toggle between save and save plus validate when saving a Snap info box. Within the Mapper Snap, you will need to click Validate at the pipeline level to trigger a validation.
- Note: When copying, moving or importing a pipeline, opening pipeline in the canvas, or logging in, auto-validation will not be triggered. It will be triggered only when saving the pipeline, a Snap inside the pipeline, or pipeline properties.
Manager
- Asset search added to Manager. Once found, each asset entry label has a context menu that includes the actions available for that asset type and a view asset in project entry.
- When creating a user, you can now disable sending the Welcome email notifications.
- Setting CORS domain whitelist

- The value entered by the org admin will appear in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header for slsched requests
