News
3.4.0 Stable Release
The second stable release of MySource Matrix was released on Monday. The upgrade procedure from 3.2.2 is more complicated than previous upgrades, but is detailed in the release notes. We have had reports of non-client users upgrading systems successfully from 3.2.2 to 3.4.0 using this procedure.
New Features
Delete Key In Asset Map
Added to: 3.5.0 development
A new feature had been added the the asset map to make moving assets to the trash an easier process. Previously, you needed to select one or more assets from the tree and then drag or click/move them to the trash asset. Now, you can select one or more assets and press the delete key to move the assets to the trash.
When the delete key is pressed, a confirmation box will appear to confirm you do want to move the assets to the trash. The HIPO job that normally runs will then popup asking you to confirm the delete again and to select an asset for remapping URLs, as normal.
Personalised Calendars
Added to: 3.5.0 development
The calendar page now has a new attribute 'personalised', which will further restrict the displayed events to those which are linked somewhere under the current user as well as one of the specified root nodes. Style and columnisation will stay the same. IE they will relate to the event's links under the specified root nodes.
My Space Inbox Improvements
Added to: 3.5.0 development
Due to recent functionality that allows users to send internal messages to other users, the My Space tab of the asset map has been changed to allow quick access to these additional screens. Users now have the ability to go straight to their inbox, send a new message, or view their sent messages without having to find their Inbox asset in the asset map.
