Table 3. Enhancements and New Features

The following enhancements and new features have been added.

DescriptionTracking ID
To enhance usability, when you view policy execution results in the design canvas, the node ID is now displayed in the node execution details window. US595444
To ensure that the content protection and revert to baseline features work as expected, you can no longer modify the Family ID or the Trigger field in a baseline Family Policy record.US581682
To enhance usability, the policy model can now be started from a Query node, thus the Query node is now consistent with the other Input nodes.US495730
To enhance usability, the Convert Type node can now be configured to convert a column of values in a collection (for example, a query result), to a different data type.US476079
To enhance usability, a new baseline policy, String Replace Sub-policy and an associated R Script have been delivered. You can use this policy to facilitate replacing a string with a different string in a single text value or a collection of text values.US293831
