New features and changes in version 10.1
HCL® Marketing Operations 10.1 includes the following new features.
For more information about the new features and changes in Marketing Operations 10.1, see the Marketing Operations documentation set.
Enhanced user interface for Marketing Operations
This release updates the user interface so that it is easy to use, offers a clean, modern design, and delivers improved inline text and error messages. The new look does not change how the product works, and you can get updated documentation from the Help menu.
Dynamic Forms on Attribute Groups
You can configure forms that dynamically display or hide attribute groups based on user selections. Dynamic forms are much simpler to fill in than static forms, especially for occasional users, because users are not required to remember fields that they must fill in and fields that they can ignore. The form dynamically updates to display or hide fields based on the user's selections.
For example, if a user selects United States from the Country attribute drop-down list, the form shows the State attribute and hides other attributes, such as Province. In this case, the user is not required to know that States are associated with the United States and that Provinces are associated with other countries, such as Canada.
For information about Dynamic Forms on Attribute Groups, see Using attributes on forms.
Attribute naming process - Auto-populate internal name
For form, grid, campaign, cell, offer, and shared attribute fields in Marketing Operations, the internal name is automatically populated when users type in the Display Name field. Users can change the internal name but cannot use unauthorized characters in the name.
Performance for lists: Task listing
Performance of task listing pages is now improved.
For example, much less time is required to load a task listing page than in earlier releases.
Enhanced System logs
- User-specific logging (excluding system logging). With user-specific logging you can generate separate log files for users.
- Ability to enable SQL logging without changing root log level to DEBUG.
- Package specific logging.
- Log File naming, size and rotation.
For more information, see Configuring system logs.
Improved error messaging
When Marketing Operations is integrated with Campaign and the campaign name contains non-printable characters, such as vertical tabulation (0x1F), the creation of the Campaign fails with a Remote Exception message. The application now displays a message indicating that the name contains invalid characters.
Integration with Workflow Service
When IBM Marketing Operations and Workflow Services are integrated, you can use the Advanced Workflow capabilities in Marketing Operations to create workflows with rework loops. A rework loop includes the tasks that must be redone when an approver selects the Denied option for an approval task.
For more information see Integration with Workflow Service on Cloud and Advanced Workflows with rework loops
Configurable option to enable or disable Approve with changes at a project Level/Global Level
With the help of two new configuration parameters, approveWithChanges
and
overrideApproveWithChanges
, users can show or hide the Approve with
changes button in Approvals and thus decide if the Approve with
changes option is available to approvers.
REST API enhancements
A new REST API method, executeProcedure
, is added. Use this method for the
execution of preexisting custom procedures through REST
Several defects have been resolved to improve the REST APIs.
