NovaDB 2.0: A Major Leap for Content and Product Data Management

With NovaDB 2.0, a new era of efficient content and product data management begins. The latest version offers an improved user experience, optimized workflows, and innovative features for editors, product data managers, partners, and consultants. NovaDB remains true to its core principle: maximum flexibility and adaptability for a wide range of use cases.

Modernized User Interface for More Efficient Work

The NovaDB 2.0 web interface has been fundamentally redesigned, now featuring intuitive dashboards that provide better visibility into ongoing tasks and projects. The new Unified Object Search makes finding objects easier and faster. Additional filter options such as "Object Type," "Last Changed By," and "Changed" make searches even more precise.

New Capabilities in Workflow Management

NovaDB 2.0 introduces a comprehensive branch-based workflow system, now with attributes like "Assigned To," "Due Date," and "Workflow Status" for better process control. The new "Manage Work" section allows for flexible workflow organization in list, tree, or board views.

A particularly useful feature: Changed or to-be-changed objects are now highlighted in all lists and object details views. A "Changes" panel provides quick access to relevant modifications.

Improved Navigation and Context Menus

NovaDB 2.0 features a new top-level navigation, making it easier to work across multiple areas. The optimized context menu ensures quicker access to key functions.

Additional highlights:

  • Artifacts from failed jobs can be downloaded
  • Live updates of job logs simplify error analysis
  • Password and token management with the new UI Type String.Secret

InDesign Integration for Simplified Publishing

A game-changer for those working with Adobe InDesign: Razor Views can now be defined directly at the object level and published in InDesign. This significantly streamlines the creation and management of complex publications.

Performance Optimization Through New Jobs

Two new job types enhance efficiency:

  • Merge Job: Simplifies merging or updating branches
  • Grooming Job: Deletes unused content, improving overall performance

Enhancements for API Users

With this update, the NovaRazor API gains new capabilities, including improved methods for object linking and hyperlink management. The Core API has been expanded with new attribute types and events, allowing for even better integration and automation.

Conclusion: NovaDB 2.0 Delivers Greater Efficiency and Flexibility

The new features and optimizations make NovaDB 2.0 an even more powerful solution for content and product data management. Editors benefit from a more intuitive UI, product data managers from optimized workflows, and partners from improved integration options.
