Product Update - December 2011
We've made a few changes

We’ve been listening and have added some of your most requested features and a few more smart bits.

We hope you had a fantastic Christmas and wish you and your families a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Our team has been very busy leading up to the Christmas break to bring you this exciting new release, our last for 2011.  It has been a great year for us and we have even bigger plans for 2012.   We would like to thank you for your continued feedback.  We are always keen to hear about how you are successfully using Yonix in your organisation and the things we can do to make your life easier.  Please don't hesitate to contact us.

We've added a number of new features, enhancements and improvements in this release, including Dictionaries. Dictionaries will help you reduce terminology misunderstandings in your organisations and projects, saving you hours of explanations, confusion and headaches.

Also in this release:

  • Requirement summary icons
  • Invite your team and stakeholders
  • Improved requirements searching
  • Stay engaged with improved discussion visibility
  • Export requirements from a Yonix document

Here’s a summary of what’s new:

  • Save hours of explanations and confusion with Dictionaries
    Confusion often arises when different people use terms to mean different things. With Yonix Dictionaries you can now store and re-use terms and definitions to prevent misunderstandings, saving you hours of explanations and headaches.

    Use dictionaries to store definitions for names, acronyms, and abbreviations (glossaries of terms) or to describe classes/tables on your data/class model, their attributes and data flows (Data Dictionaries).

    Inherited discussions and automatic reply notifications

    View all the discussions related to a organisation, project, document or requirement from the new discussions page.

    Automatic notifications are now sent to everyone involved with the discussion when a reply is posted within the discussion.
