NovaDB 3.4: More Efficiency and Convenience for Content and Data Management

With NovaDB 3.4, Noxum continues its innovation strategy, introducing a range of exciting new features designed to make work easier for editors, product data managers, partners, and consultants. The new version focuses on improved user-friendliness, enhanced management functions, and optimized workflows.

Enhancements in the Web UI

Structured and Secure Data Entry

One of the key innovations is the ability to configure attribute definitions to allow only unique values. This validation takes place in several areas:

  • When creating new objects
  • When editing object details
  • In the "Search and Replace" function
  • When restoring deleted objects
  • In multi-edit processing, where such attributes can no longer be modified

This ensures consistent and error-free data management, which is particularly crucial for structured product data and content management.

New Preview for External Binary Files

Images, videos, PDFs, and other binary files can now be displayed directly in a dialog instead of opening in a new tab. Users can cycle through multiple object previews, download files, or open the original file in a new tab.

This improvement enhances usability and allows for faster content review.

Extended Job Definitions

Another highlight is the ability to define parameters in job definitions. This gives users greater flexibility in deciding which arguments should be provided as parameters when creating a new job. These parameters appear both in the "Create Job" dialog and in a new tab within the job details.

Optimized Object Management

  • Objects can now be restored directly from the detail view, minimizing administrative effort.
  • Duplicates can be created more easily – whether from tree nodes, object details, favorites, or recently used objects.
  • Better overview in work package management: The number of worklist items within a work package is now displayed in several places, including the dashboard.

Navigation Enhancements

A helpful new feature: Inline object references within TinyMCE can now be found via the "Usage Information" tab.

Improvements in Job Processing

Grooming jobs now support the automatic deletion of orphaned external binary files. This ensures more efficient storage management and reduces unnecessary files in the system.

Conclusion: More Convenience, More Control, More Efficiency

NovaDB 3.4 puts user needs at the center, providing more control and security in data management. The improved preview functions, more flexible job definitions, and optimized object management make this version a significant step forward in the evolution of the platform.

Whether as an editor, product data manager, or consultant – NovaDB 3.4 ensures a more efficient and pleasant work experience. Now is the perfect time to explore these new features in practice!
