Guiana.1 Release notes (April 24, 2023)

The brand new release of BlueDolphin, Guiana.1, is now available!

Feature highlight:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure comes to BlueDolphin! The free shape library has been extended to include icons from the AWS and Azure product family. The icon set can be downloaded from the template library. For more information on icons and free shapes, please refer to Adding free shapes to views – BlueDolphin (zendesk.com)

Roles and permissions:

• When you add a new role(s), the default permissions for the object definitions are now set to read only. The new defaults are:

1. 'Can create objects' = unchecked
2. 'Can delete objects' = unchecked
3. 'Objectproperties' = Read only
4. 'Relations & Diagram' = Read only
5. 'Views' = Read only
6. All questionnaires linked to an object definition = Read only

• When you add a new object definition(s), the default permissions on all roles except for the default ‘Administrators’ and 'Process administrators' roles are now set to read only. The new defaults are:

1. 'Can create objects' = unchecked
2. 'Can delete objects' = unchecked
3. 'Objectproperties' = Read only
4. 'Relations & Diagram' = Read only
5. 'Views' = Read only

• When you add a new object questionnaire(s) and link to an object definition(s), all roles except for the default ‘Administrators’ and 'Process administrators' roles are set to read only for the object definition-questionnaire combination

• To learn more about roles and permissions, please refer to Manage roles and permissions – BlueDolphin (zendesk.com)

Usability improvements:

• On Architecture and Data views, when you want to add multiple objects using the 'Add existing objects' menu or double clicking on the canvas, you can opt in/out for displaying any relationships that already exist between the objects. Displaying/not displaying relationships applies to not only the set of objects about to be added to the view but also to that set and any existing objects on the view. The default setting is to display the relationships

• On Architecture and Data views, when you add multiple objects using the 'Add existing objects' menu or double clicking on the canvas, the objects stay selected so that you can move whole set to your desired location on the canvas

• You can now link views to images. The functionality works the same way as linking views to other elements on a view. As images are only supported for Architecture and Data views, this functionality is available only for those views. For further information, please refer to Linking views to free shapes and images – BlueDolphin (zendesk.com)

• A free shape can be flipped (mirrored) horizontally and vertically using either the keyboard shortcuts or the right-click contextual menu.
  
  Keyboard shortcuts for Windows and MacOS:
  
  Shift+h: Flip horizontal
  Shift+v: Flip vertical
  
  This functionality is only available when an Architecture and/or Data view is in edit mode. A single and/or multiple selection of a free shape(s) can be flipped

• Free shapes and images are now rotated from the center

• More font sizes are now available for various text elements on a view:
  
  36px
  40px
  48px
  64px
  72px
  96px
  128px
  
  This is applicable for:
  
  Text boxes
  Text for free shapes
  Text for icons
  Text for objects (including view objects)
  Text for bpmn elements:
  > task
  > data object
  > data store
  > call activity
  > sub process
  Text for data objects on data views

• On data views, data objects can be resized width-wise. It is not possible to make the width smaller than the default width

• In view mode, hyperlinks can now be opened by a single click. The link opens in a new tab. Ctrl+click is also available as an alternative
