What's new

Faster cascading

• If you upload cascading metadata or project field hierarchies you'll see a new option to Refresh Cascades/ Hierarchies.
• Click this to run an optimization process for all cascading and hierarchy templates on your project. This helps your cascades/hierarchies load faster while uploading documents.
• We recommend using this option if you have large cascade/hierarchy templates that contain over 20,000 rows.
• All cascade/hierarchy templates uploaded after the September release will automatically refresh, but you can click this option to refresh your existing templates.

Limits for in-line editors

• We've introduced limits while in-line editing large numbers of values in select list fields.
• If you are editing a list of over 15,000 values, we strongly recommend you use the project settings screen to edit your values. You'll also see a message to remind you.
• If your list has over 25,000 values, you won't be able to use in-line editing. You'll be prompted to use the project settings screen to edit your values.
• This applies to editing select list values in both document fields and project fields.
