Introducing P2 Explorer 4.4! In this release, a new approvals process allows anyone to submit their own displays for publishing to a wider audience within the organisation. What sets this version apart from previous releases is the focus on usability. The new data selector makes data-driven pages easier to design, and a set of predefined styles for selected components significantly improves the ability to customise displays.
P2 Explorer 4.3.2 introduces private workspaces and a publishing workflow, as well as further Studio, Trend, and Ribbon enhancements.
Release 4.3.2 adds the full set of calculations previously available in version 2.6. The Proficy adaptor is also included in this release, as well as an adaptor for retrieving data from P2 Explorer 2.6.
Release 4.3.1 add several new features to P2 Server. The installer now includes the most commonly used adaptors, and several other adaptor improvements have been made. Management Studio has an improved import/export function and a raft of new features for configuring calculations, attributes and templates. And in another first, P2 Server now also supports duplicate entity names in a hierarchy.
P2 Explorer 4.3.1 continues to evolve the user interface to introduce a striking new navigation system which makes use of the now-familiar ribbon paradigm. Trend functionality has been consolidated with the introduction of a dedicated tag selector, and more page objects have been added to Studio (Switch and Multi Select List). P2 Explorer 4.3.1 can also handle duplicate entity names in a hierarchy.
P2 Server has always been a great data retrieval tool, with Data Dictionary based relationship models built right in. Version 4 takes this to a new level, with enhancements to all areas, as well as the addition of entirely new features. P2 Server version 4 reinvents the existing application, with new technologies allowing speeds and features that were never previously available. This is a vital first step towards an exciting and impressive future set of P2 applications, that will be based on this new P2 Server infrastructure. The 4.3 release provides our first release of P2 Server that can replace the functions that are most commonly used in the BabelFish Server installations at new customer sites.
Explorer 4.3 is the first significant release which truly meets our vision for a complete self-service, collaboration, and relationship discovery application. This version introduces the Diagnostic Trend which comes with a range of analysis tools such as hairlines, comments, and auto range. Release 4.3 also provides a Precision Layout to Explorer Studio, as well as improved support for mobile devices and more detailed error messages to assist with diagnosing issues.
