It's important to be able to order especially large filters the way one thinks they
should be ordered. You still can sort them sort alphabetically by default, but you can now sort
the attributes and classes up/down or drag and drop them in the order you want. When
you run the Document Generator to generate documentation for the project, you'll see that it will document the filters the way you have ordered them.
The usability of the Filter Editor has been enhanced. It now has information widgets
for each of the settings for classes/attributes, which should give you
a much better idea on what they are for - right at your fingertips.
We've also added tooltips for all the fields in the default Attribute Settings dialog.
Added ability to
export the Filter to an XML file and to take a Filter XML file and import it in.
This is handy because class and attribute names can go beyond the default column widths.
Added ability to
export the Schema Map to an XML file and to take a Schema Map XML file and import it in.
The user can add non-class specific mapping at the click of the toolbar button and can
add attributes which do not
belong to any class under this mapping.
There was a significant change to the editor allowing the filter to be automatically updated when adding items
to the schema map editor. The driver filter is updated only in the case of a Schema Mapping policy.
Addition of classes and attribute to the Schema Map editor lead to the addition of classes/attributes
to the filter as well. Classes/attributes which are added to the filter will follow default settings
for all the filter attributes (Publish, Subscribe, Merge Authority, and Optimize Modifications to the Identity Vault).
Hence, this coupling of the Schema Map and Filter eliminates the need
to manually add items to the filter.
