Some of the latest feature, included in TimeArc Version 4.18


UI Improvements to the Merge Dialog

The 4.18 release introduces enhancements to the user experience of Editorial Projects. We have enhanced the ‘Update Amendment from Source dialog’ within Editorial Projects to make the merge process clearer and more efficient for editors.

What’s new?

  1. Decision indicator icons added: Editors can now easily see which source updates have been accepted, rejected, or remain undecided directly within the source updates list.
    1. Accepted updates display a green checkmark
    2. Rejected updates display a grey “x”
    3. Undecided updates display no icon

  2. Improved navigation: While reviewing a source update, editors can now move directly to the next component update without returning to the source updates list.


Benefits of these Improvements

The improvements introduced as part of the 4.18 release provide the following benefits to editors within the CCMS:

  1. Faster and more intuitive merge workflow
  2. Clear visibility into decision progress across all components
  3. Reduced manual navigation when reviewing large numbers of updates

Automatic Deletion of Amendments of a Deleted Source Document

Improvements have been made to maintain a cleaner and more predictable editorial workspace within the CCMS when source documents are removed.

What’s new?

  1. Automatic amendment deletion: When a source document is deleted, all associated amendments are now automatically deleted.
  2. Clear deletion messaging: A confirmation message is displayed when deleting a source document, informing users that related amendments will also be removed.
  3. Complete cleanup: All related metadata, references, and system links tied to deleted amendments are fully removed as part of the deletion process.
  4. TOC updates: When all amendments within a collection are deleted, the related Editorial Projects entry is removed from the table of contents.

 

Benefits of these improvement

The automatic deletion of amendments when the source document has been deleted provides the following benefits:

  1. Prevents orphaned amendments with no valid source document
  2. Reduces clutter and confusion in the editorial workspace
  3. Eliminates the need for manual cleanup by support or engineering
  4. Maintains a clean and consistent CCMS table of content
