New measurement units and families

Type: Improvement  |  Features: Measurements Data Governance  |  Available in Serenity EE since mid-March

We added four new measurement families: Force, Angle,Capacitance and Volume Flow to better fit your needs in terms of product modeling.

Also, we completed some existing measurement families with new units:

  • in Pressure: bar, pascal, etc.
  • in Binary: kilobit, megabit, etc.
  • in Length: micrometer and nautical mile units
  • in Volume: microliter and hectoliter units
  • in Weight: microgram unit

Of course, these new measurement families and units come with preset conversion operations to help you save some time.

Rules engine extended capabilities

A new action and enhancements made on the copy action: easily and automatically concatenate your attributes, and now copy values from an attribute type to another attribute type.

A NEW RULE ACTION TO CONCATENATE ATTRIBUTES

Type: Improvement  |  Features: Rules engine Productivity Automation  |  Available in Serenity EE since mid-March  |  📖 Read the doc

A new concatenate rule action is now available and will certainly boost your rules engine usage! This new action will enable you to concatenate at least two attribute values together, and to set the resulting value in another attribute.
For instance, you want to make sure your product titles are always formatted the same way. Create a rule to concatenate your product attributes name + color + size and set this new value chain into your product title attribute. Use this rule to enhance your product content!

MORE AUTOMATION WITH THE COPY ACTION

Type: Improvement  |  Features: Rules engine Productivity Automation  |  Available in Serenity EE since mid-March  |  📖 Read the doc

Ease and speed up your product enrichment thanks to the extended capabilities of the copy action from our rules engine! You can now copy the value from an attribute type to another attribute type. For instance, you can create a rule to copy an option from a simple select attribute to a reference entity single link, instead of manually copy/pasting it. By automating the copy of values, you make sure you have the right data in the right place, this will get rid of some manual and error-prone tasks.
