News Features
New Date Format For Keywords
Added to: 3.7.0 development
A new date format has been added, allowing you to print the date component (no time component) of a metadata or attribute date field in RFC2822 format. Append "_rfc2822-dateonly" to date keywords to print a date like "Mon, 16 Jan 2006"
Paint Layouts Used In Asset Listings
Added to: 3.7.0 development
When printing the contents of assets in a listing, the asset contents are now printed using a paint layout if one is applied. A new keyword, , has been added to allow you to print the contents of the asset without the paint layout if required.
Exclude Asset Types In Asset Lineage
Added to: 3.7.0 development
The asset lineage design area now has an option that allows you to specify a list of asset types to exclude from the lineage. For example, if you have a deep folder structure that you want to hide you can exclude the Folder asset type from the lineage. The list of types to exclude can either be specified through a MySource_SET tag in the parse file (comma-separated) or chosen through the backend of a customised lineage design area asset.
An example MySource_SET tag for excluding Folder and User assets is:
<MySource_SET name="unwanted_asset_types" value="folder, user" />
