exMon 22.5 - Release Notes

Release notes for exMon 22.5

We are excited to bring you the exMon 22.5 release with many new features and improvements.

Summary

This release brings Single Sign-On (SSO) Login for all exMon products. This allows you to easily log into various exMon products without having to remember multiple different passwords. We have also added new icons to exMon Process Maps; including commonly used company logos and Azure icons.

As well as adding new features, we have of course also fixed some bugs.

In this article, you will read about improvements to:

exMon Data Governance

SSO Login

exMon Data Governance now supports Single Sign-On using Azure Active Directory (AAD). This makes it easier for users to use login credentials, on their local machine, to log into exMon services. Furthermore, this ensures that users who are no longer enabled on your network immediately lose access to exMon. With this release, all of exMon now supports Single Sign-On.

For more information on how to enable Single Sign-On visit Single Sign-On Azure AD.

New Icons in Process Maps

Users can now choose predefined icons both from a collection of 450 Azure icons, and 19 company logos to insert into their process map backgrounds. 

exMon Data Management

Import text file with fixed width

Users can now import text files with fixed-width columns into existing tables. Read more about this here.

Saved views also save single row edit

Users can now save a view with a single-row edit view. A single-row edit will appear in the same place as it was saved when selecting a view with a single-row edit view.  

exMon Turnkey

Our next generation of exMon, codenamed Turnkey, continues to be in private beta. It is continuously being improved based on user feedback.

Activity for issue detail

Users can now access a new section in the issue details which is the Issue Activity. The section lists the history of actions on the issue details, along with buttons for changing the status of the issue.

Settings

Users can now configure their exMon Data Governance service using the settings within Turnkey. The settings allow users to change general settings, email settings, test settings and advanced settings. In order to get to the settings page – you can find a cog icon in the top navigation bar. 

DM Data Provider

Users can now create data providers specifically designed to get data from an active exMon Data Management service. This feature allows users to more easily set up data providers, without providing all the nitty-gritty details when setting up a regular database connection string.  

Create a ticket in Hubspot when an error occurs in the system

Users can now report errors that occur in exMon DG Desktop and Turnkey. Each time users encounter an error, they will be given an option to report the error – which will result in a ticket being created on the exMon Service Desk. This will hasten the process of solving the issue for the user that is experiencing these errors. 

Autosave for datasets

Users no longer need to worry about saving their datasets when working on them, because they are automatically saved for them. The dataset is saved as a draft, so it will not interfere with the published version of the dataset until it has been published again. Publishing a dataset is still a manual task – because it may have more impact on rules which depend on the dataset.
