OpenL Tablets

Release Notes

v5.27.0 on the GitHub

New Features

Support of Access Control Lists

The newly developed Access Control Lists (ACL) feature available in OpenL WebStudio is a more robust and granular way to control user access to assets. This update brings a comprehensive mechanism for controlling the actions of subjects on objects, focusing on enhancing security, authorization, and user identification. Currently, ACL management is available through the built-in API tool or other API tools. We recommend that users read the description available at webstudio/rest/api-docs to fully understand the nuances of using the ACL feature.

Merge Conflicts in Excel Files

When a user initiates a merge between two branches using the Sync functionality and a conflict occurs in Excel files (in particular, when the same Excel file was edited in both branches), the system now executes the following steps:

• Retrieve the revisions from both the current and target branches, as well as base revisions.
• Compare each conflicting Excel file in the current branch revision to the base revision on the sheet-by-sheet basis.
• Similarly, compare the Excel files in the target branch revision to the base revision, on the sheet-by-sheet basis.
• If the comparisons identify no conflicting sheets, the system seamlessly merges the sheets as needed.

Expression Referencing for Decision Tables

A user can now refer to an expression using the following syntax: $Expr.$C1 or $Expr.$C1.param1
