NovaDB 3.1: More Efficiency, More Control, More Possibilities

With NovaDB 3.1, Noxum sets another milestone in the development of a flexible and powerful content and data management system. The latest version offers numerous improvements that give editors, product data managers, and partners more control, clarity, and efficiency in their daily work.

Improved Web UI – More Transparency and Control

The user interface in NovaDB 3.1 has been significantly optimized to make workflows more intuitive and efficient. These include:

  • Better traceability of work packages: New columns now show who created a work package and when.
  • Extended control of display options: The default and allowed views for attributes with multiple object references can now be configured directly in the attribute definition.
  • Sortable object lists: The sorting in the object detail lists can now be adjusted based on defined attributes.
  • More transparency in search results: The color of the counter indicates whether the search results are based on an up-to-date index.
  • Extended search functions: In addition to the well-known object search, GUIDs can now also be searched.
  • WebP support: Icons and thumbnails benefit from transparency and clipping path support.
  • Improved error diagnosis: Misconfigured attributes and faulty job definitions now provide clearer error messages.

Jobs – More Automation Options

Automated processes are the heart of efficient data management. NovaDB 3.1 expands these possibilities:

  • New image derivation job: Images can now be automatically converted into different derivatives and linked to the original data.
  • Extended support for thumbnails: In addition to classic formats, CMYK with color profiles, transparency, and clipping paths are now supported.

Excel Add-In – More Flexible Data Entry

For users of the Excel add-in, there is a significant new feature: When saving data, key columns can now be defined, making data management easier and preventing ambiguities.

Delivery API Now a Regular Component

A particularly important update for partners and developers: The Delivery API is now a permanent part of the NovaDB release cycle. This ensures consistent development and better planning reliability for all who work with NovaDB.

Conclusion: A Release with Tangible Benefits

With NovaDB 3.1, users benefit from a more intuitive operation, better control options, and new automation features. Editors and product data managers gain more control over workflows and data processes, while partners benefit from improved API integration and more flexible jobs. NovaDB 3.1 makes working with complex data models more efficient – and opens up new possibilities for the future.
