NovaDB 2.1: New Features for More Efficient Content and Product Data Management

With NovaDB 2.1, we are setting new standards in flexibility and efficiency for content and product data management. Our latest version introduces crucial improvements for editors, product data managers, partners, and consultants—focusing on intuitive operation, powerful automation, and enhanced data processing.

Web UI: More Control and an Improved User Experience

The NovaDB web interface has been enhanced with new features to make daily work even more efficient:

  • More flexibility for numerical values: Attributes of type "Double" or "Decimal" can now be configured with units per value—a great advantage for those dealing with product-related measurements, weights, or technical specifications.
  • Duplicate objects with ease: A new object can now be created as an exact copy of an existing one with just a few clicks—ideal for similar content or product variants.
  • Advanced search and replace functionality: Text content can now be searched and replaced using wildcards or regular expressions—perfect for editorial corrections and data cleansing.
  • Improved navigation in tree structures: Tree children lists now support both List View and Tile View. Additional columns and sorting options facilitate organization.
  • Optimized package import handling: Values are preserved, and multiple values are intelligently merged—ensuring smooth data migration.
  • More precise filtering options: The "Changed Object" search filter now only displays objects in the worklist if actual changes have been made.

New Automation Capabilities with "Razor PDF"

NovaDB 2.1 introduces a new job type: "Razor PDF", which allows the creation of PDFs from any HTML-based Razor View. This enables automated generation of high-quality, personalized documents, reports, or product data sheets.

Extended API Functions for Seamless Integrations

  • Unit management in the API: The Nova API has been extended to support units per value—affecting both Nova's own package formats and external interfaces.
  • Search and replace functions now in the Core API: The API now allows targeted modifications of text content using regular expressions or wildcards.

Excel Add-In with More Capabilities

The NovaDB Excel Add-In now also supports units per value. With the correct cell formatting, values with associated measurement units can be precisely managed.

OpenAPI: More Accuracy When Working with Units

  • Values with units are delivered as strings with unit symbols.
  • Searching for values considers the optional unit symbol—ensuring more accurate results when working with data.

NovaDB 2.1 introduces numerous enhancements that make working with content and product data even easier, faster, and more effective. With extended Web UI functions, API optimizations, and new automation tools, companies benefit from a powerful, flexible, and future-proof solution.
