Introduction of the Pages Concept
##To be added by ChristophWe have added the Pages concept to the Smartfacts platform. This means that you can add rich text pages to the project tree that can be hierarchized. Any page may have child pages. You can manually edit pages or copy and paste content from MS Word or a website. The Pages are a Confluence like feature which is especially designed to document model based content.
Model references in a page: You can drag & drop nodes of a model tree into a page from the project tree. This will create a reference in the page. A user consuming the page can examine the delegated UI of the model node just as you know it from other features like comments, chats, reviews.
You add a page by using the local menu of a folder or a page and selecting the add page command.
Master pages: You can make a page a master page by checking the master page checkbox in the local menu of the page. Master pages automatically get loaded to the left side when a user enters a project. So, a master page could e.g. provide an overview of the project and current focus.
Stereotype Filter for the Model Tree
##To be added by Christoph
Preset global visibility for newly published models
Feature:
Access to new models added to Smartfacts is basically only given to the user who imported the model. Other users must be added interactively.
To Every root node of a model can now carry a filter definition of stereotypes. If you want to filter the model tree down to nodes that only carry use case and sequence diagrams of a model, you use the local menu of the model root node and check the diagram types to define the filter. By checking the apply filter checkbox, the filter is activated.
Preset Global Visibility for Newly Published Models
Models that are newly published to Smartfacts are by default only visible to the user who has published the model. This user is the one and only model owner and the only user who can see the model in the Smartfacts model tree. So far, other users had to be provided visibility manually.
In order to simplify this, you can specify user groups under "Modelwarehouse Profile/Smartfacts/in the Model Warehouse Profile in the Smartfacts tab under Global visibility for new newly published models".
to specify user groups whose members should have read access to the models. Multiple user groups can be specified separated by commasSimply add group names separated by a comma min order to automatically provide visibility for all these groups to the newly published model.

Indexed Models
In this release, we reorganized the Indexed Models page (formerly known as Indexed Models Link Index). To In order to migrate existing Git connections to the recent version, please do the following:
Ensure that the existing Git servers have been correctly transferred / added to the External Servers section of the Model Warehouse Profile. Use the function Ping external server Text Connection button to ensure that connection and authentication are set up correctly:
In the updated Indexed Models page, the branches to be synchronized must be defined from scratch. To add a branch, hit click the Add Config button, select the Git server(s) and the desired branch. Repeat this for every branch of every Git repository supposed to be synchronized via the index:
New UI for the Smartfacts Global Configurations
##To be added by Christoph
Version Exclusive Links have been removed
##To be added by ChristophSmartfacts provides its own Global Configuration Management concept which is vendor and platform independent and is based on the OSLC configuration management standard published by OASIS. Therefor, the Smartfacts project tree has a standard folder Global Components. This folder cannot be deleted and has a specific local menu that allows to add global components.
