Weekly feature improvement and bugfix summary

The following feature improvements have been implemented, and bugs fixed in the past week:

Inventory

• When filtering fact sheets by relations, you can now combine 'Empty (on purpose)' and 'n/a' criteria in a single filter using any logical operator. This enhancement is helpful across the inventory, reports, and diagrams. For example, you can exclude fact sheets with missing or empty relations by applying the IS NOT operator in a report, effectively hiding irrelevant data.

  

• An issue in the fact sheet creation form, where selecting a subscription role was mandatory even when its parent subscription type was not, has now been fixed. Now, when a subscription type is not mandatory, its underlying subscription roles will not appear in the fact sheet creation form, allowing creators to proceed without assigning a subscriber.

• We’ve also fixed an issue that prevented the fact sheet creation from opening when accessed from a saved search.

• When editing a lifecycle field in the inventory's table view, the date selector widget previously appeared only partially when editing cells at the bottom of the table. This issue is now fixed, and the date selector is displayed correctly.

Discoveries

• Following recent user interface updates to the SBOM explorer, we've also enhanced the sorting of library versions in the table, arranging them from oldest to newest, and improved the display format of licenses and fact sheets in the filter drop-down.

Integrations

• We've extended our public REST API's 'Reference Data' service with the new /catalogs endpoint that provides access to our reference catalog of software and hardware assets. The endpoint allows you to match a search query for application and IT component names to a catalog item, which helps you improve naming consistency across your IT landscape.

• In the GraphQL API schema documentation, we've revised the description of the externalIds argument in the factSheets query, which contained inaccurate details about filtering by fact sheet type. You can use the allFactSheets query to filter fact sheets by external ID and type. It also supports further filtering options.
