Improvements in the Web Interface

The user-friendliness of NovaDB has been further enhanced through various innovations:

  • Faster access to favorites: Favorite stars are now directly clickable and change their status immediately.

Enhancements in Job Management

With NovaDB 1.7, job management has become even more flexible:

  • Targeted resource allocation: The number of simultaneously running jobs and their use of computing power and memory can now be better regulated.
  • Better workload control: The total number of parallel jobs can be limited to ensure efficient use of system resources.
  • More detailed status information: Jobs now receive new status indicators, enabling better tracking and organization.

Core API: More Control and Efficiency

NovaDB's core API has been enhanced with important new features:

  • Extended job information: In addition to restart and kill requests, specific status messages can now be added.
  • Improved job logs: Logs can now be cleared directly from the API.
  • Notifications with contextual links: Notification links can now directly load the appropriate branch view.

Seamless Integration with InDesign

For users of the InDesign service, there is a convenient new feature: When an object is opened via a Nova link, the application automatically switches to the correct branch version.
