DATAGERRY 2.2.0

New Features

Multi Data Sections (MDS)

  • Added a new section type named MultiDataSection

  • The MultiDataSection is filled with fields like a normal Section but it can store multiple value sets of the fields

  • The values are displayed in a table where they can also be modified

  • At the current state of development there are some restrictions to MultiDataSections of which some are intended and some will be implemented in later releases:

  • Objects with MDS can only be exported and imported in JSON format

  • MDS entries can not be used in the DocAPI

  • MDS entries does not interact with exportd

  • MultiDataSections in objects are not displayed in bulk changes

  • MDS fields can not be used as summary fields in the type configuration
