To give Upchain customers access to new functionality faster and improve the quality of service, Autodesk has changed its Upchain product release cycle from a quarterly update to a progressive rollout. This means that Upchain customers will see new features and enhancements in a progressive and ongoing basis, eliminating the impact of releasing many features and fixes all at once and allowing customers to enjoy the stability of more incremental releases on a more frequent basis.
This post summarizes new functionality and fixes that were rolled out over the course of several weeks in March. Watch the video to see some of the features in action and read on to learn more about what’s new in Upchain 23.1.
Upchain 23.1 Highlights
Administrative Enhancements
Custom reports
Tenant admins are now able to create and modify custom reports without having to reach out to Upchain support for assistance. This includes BOM, project and item detail, and change notice or request reports.
eBOM attribute creation
Similarly, admins can now create new eBOM attributes without Upchain support, allowing you to better tailor your experience for your unique business needs.
New user roles
Upchain 23.1 introduces the addition of new user roles to align more closely to your users’ functions. New roles include industrial, process, and software engineer, as well as software lead, and supplier quality manager.
Author Enhancements
Clone action enhancements
When cloning items, all custom attributes and their values are now copied with the clone function giving users better data accuracy and cutting down on the amount of data you have to input manually.
Custom property prioritization
In Upchain 23.1 we have also enabled users to prioritize whether the system should read or write property values to file or custom properties in Inventor files.
Participant Enhancements
Where used enhancements
In Upchain 23.1 we have added the ability to open links in a new tab when using the where used function in order to not interrupt your workflow by having to navigate away from an item.
Advanced search for supplier
Advanced search now supports finding suppliers associated with specific items and projects. This helps you quickly find supplier relationships and improve your traceability within the system.
