9.19 (2024-01-18)

  • New attribute type: "reference"
    A new attribute type has been implemented. Each attribute of type "reference" is a reflection of a selected BMEcat field from the "General" section. Physically, it is the same field, visible under a different name/identifier, as a user-defined attribute. Changing the value of one of these attributes alters the value of the indicated BMEcat field.
  • Semicolon as new separator in Excel
    In fields containing lists of values (e.g. the list of category identifiers to which a product belongs), the separator has been changed to a semicolon (previously, the separator was a comma; commas are no longer used as separators).
  • Multifields with fixed values separated by a semicolon in an Excel file
    Excel export/import method has been changed for 3 fields: "Hazard class", "GHS labelling code", and "Territory". These fields can contain multiple predefined values.

    The way of setting the order of MIME files has been changed: now files can be moved up or down by 1 position.
  • Possibility to disable the chatbot
    An option to disable the chatbot has been added ("Settings / Account" page).

9.16 (2023-12-05)

  • Product filtering by LCA
    LCA data is now available in the product view (column visibility can be managed in the "Arrangement of columns" option in the hamburger menu). This makes it possible to filter products by LCA data (database and UUID).
  • Group modification by LCA
    The availability of LCA data in the columns of the product view table allows them to be modified in bulk (for multiple products simultaneously) using the "Group modification" option in the hamburger menu).
  • Pimmy | PIM assistant
    No one knows the application as well as Pimmy (PIM assistant - chatbot). If you have a question about the app, just ask the assistant, who is always ready to help.
  • Customisable order of product editing tabs
    The order of the tabs in the product editing view can be set according to the user’s preference.

  • Restriction of the character range of attribute identifiers and their values
    The range of characters that can be used to create attribute identifiers and identifiers of "select" attribute values has been limited to basic alphanumeric characters, underscore, and hyphen: [A-Za-z0-9_-].

9.15 (2023-11-15)

  • Remastered modes of product description import
    The import modes have been remastered and simplified with special attention paid to multiple elements. They are now more intuitive, secure and well-documented (detailed explanations are given for individual product information elements).
  • Replacement of "+" and "-" by "1" and "0" in Excel files
    Due to the special meaning of the "+" and "-" signs in Excel files, their use has been abandoned in favor of the "1" and "0" signs when exporting and importing product information.
  • Removal of separate MIME code "MD22sys" for system product cards in exports and imports
    The special designation for system cards ("MD22sys" code) has been abandoned. From now on, they will be marked in imported and exported files with the usual "MD22" code.

9.14 (2023-10-25)

  • Selective Excel export of attributes, relations by attribute, categories and labels
    When exporting product data on attribute values to an Excel file, it is now possible to selectively indicate which attributes are to be exported. Similar selective choice also applies to relations by attribute, categories and labels.

  • Quick access icons for filtering and group modification
    A simple click on the filtering or group modification icon in the column header will open the filtering or modification form for that column. Due to the icons in the column header, the "show/hide vertical lines" option has been abandoned (tables now always have vertical lines).
  • Change of group modification and LCA icons
    New icons (for group modification and LCA) have been introduced to improve their readability and meaning.

9.11 (2023-10-03)

  • Group modification in the side panel
    Group modification has a new layout and is now available in the form of a right-side panel. Alike the filtering panel, it can be permanently visible (or hidden) when working with product views. If both panels are visible, then the filtering panel is placed above the group modification panel.
  • Possibility to select the number of rows for data tables
    Since the data in the tables are paged, the choice of the number of rows to display on one page has been added for convenience. You can choose to display 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 or 200 rows. The selection is retained separately for each data table.

  • LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
    Additional product description tab for assigning to a product a selected set of LCA data from the Oekobaudat database. Option to place LCA data in a system or local product card. Ability to export/import assignment of LCA statements to/from an Excel file.

9.7 (2023-08-11)

  • Filtering by a chain of values
    Filters imposed on text fields have a new option (icon ) to specify a list/chain of values separated by a semicolon (a maximum of 200 can be specified). The filtering results in products that match at least one of the specified values (logical "OR"). The value chain is also available for selecting values when filtering using "select" type fields.
  • Dragging the modal window via the icon
    The way modal windows are moved has been changed. Moving the window is only possible using the icon .
  • Mailing list of new release notifications available in company settings
    Users can manage the mailing list for notifications of new application versions and changes (GUI and API). Previously, the notification list was managed by the application administrator.

9.6 (2023-08-03)

  • New layout of product filtering
    Product filtering is now available in the form of a right-side panel, which can be permanently visible (or hidden) when working with the product views.
  • Adding the "Hazard class" field for filtering in the "All products" view
    The "Hazard Class" column has been added to the "All Products" view, and it is possible to filter products by this column. The "Hazard Class" field can simultaneously take several different values for a single product. Therefore, the filter form for "Hazard class" is similar to the one for filtering by labels. We can select products containing the desired values or not containing the specified values.
  • Possibility to indicate the file extensions imported into the disk space
    Users can now select which file extensions can be imported into an account's disk space (Settings / Account).
  • Reshaping of the top menu
    The top menu has been remodeled. Settings are now available in the main menu on the left. The direct link to public products has been dropped (it is accessible from the menu on the main application page). Documentation and the logout button have been moved to the account info window.
  • Uniform appearance of product description tabs
    The appearance of product description tabs has been simplified and unified (without names and completeness indicators). Names will appear on mouseover, and completeness indicators are displayed in the product header. The designation of editable/visible fields has been dropped ("General" tab). Fields without editing permissions for a given user are marked with an icon .
  • Button for closing modal windows
    The closing of modal windows with the button has been made uniform.

9.5 (2023-06-21)

  • New product filtering
    The previous way of filtering in the product view (directly on the columns) has been replaced by a more flexible and efficient way of filtering, configurable in an independent form. The new filter can still be based on multiple fields/columns, but now even on those not visible in the current view. When filtering is active, the "Filter settings" button is highlighted; each column name used in the filter is also highlighted in the same color. The filtering method now depends on the type of columns (e.g., multiple choice). For text columns, the ability to use wildcards has been retained. In addition, the ability to filter by special symbols (empty value, not empty value, not applicable, unknown) has been provided. Also, the quick filtering by a selected column has been maintained - simply click on any column name to set up a filter on it or complete the current filter with that column.
  • Permanent activation of wildcards
    The previous optional use of wildcards when filtering products has been activated permanently for all users. At the same time, an escape character for matching characters used as wildcards has been introduced.
  • "Show/Hide vertical lines" switch in product view tables
    The ability to show/hide lines separating product view table columns has been made, and can be used according to user preference.
  • Interruption of product import in case of no data to import
    If there are no products to import (usually with an inappropriate file format or incorrect import options), the operation is interrupted and a corresponding message is displayed.
  • Draggable pop-up windows
    All pop-up windows can now be moved, allowing access to the content covered by such windows.

9.4 (2023-04-28)

  • Subsidiaries
    Ability to define subsidiaries assigned to an account. This enables the generation of BMEcat files with the subsidiary data in the header of the BMEcat file as the author/sender of the file.
  • Adding a phone number to company and supplier data
    This field has been added for its usefulness and the completeness of company information.
  • Limiting the number of ETIM classes when generating an Excel template
    For reasons of efficiency and comfort of reading, the number of ETIM classes in an Excel template has been limited to 100.

9.3 (2023-04-24)

  • "Not applicable" values (other than ETIM values)
    The opportunity to mark empty values as "not applicable" (marked with a dash "-"), which means permanently missing values, to clearly indicate values that cannot be provided (it is useless to ask for them in the future). This applies to values other than ETIM values, which already have their designations: "unknown" and "not-applicable".
  • Simplification of the attribute value assignment form
    The form has been simplified by omitting non-editable attribute information.
  • Simplification of the list view of product attribute values
    The view has been simplified by omitting irrelevant attribute information.
  • Deletion of the option to display blank ETIM values on product cards
    The option has been removed, due to its low usability.
  • Deletion of VAT-ID number validation
    The validation has been abandoned due to the variety of VAT-ID formats used in different countries.
  • Option "With 'Not applicable' values" in BMEcat/Excel export forms
    The possibility to export "not applicable" empty values (other than ETIM values) marked as "-" (dash) or to omit them during export.
  • Option "With 'Not applicable' values" in product cards settings
    The possibility to display "not applicable" empty values (other than ETIM values) or to omit them on product cards.

9.2 (2023-03-28)

  • Simplification of MIME
    Due to low practical utility, some optional MIME fields have been dropped, allowing significant simplification of the MIME description. The fields removed are "Filename", "Alternative text", "Start Date", and "End Date".

9.1 (2023-03-15)

  • Exports of products "as a supplier"
    Possibility to export product information "as a supplier". This mode allows the user to retrieve production information as if it was generated from a supplier account (the main product identifier is "Product ID by supplier").
  • Information on renamed files after uploading to disk space
    Additional information when uploading files: the cleaned file names are counted and the corresponding information is displayed.
  • The additional distinction of new ETIM values with a special symbol ("ETIM migration" view)
    New ETIM values were highlighted in the "migration assistant" in green (as values of select fields). Because in some combinations of browser/OS, the styles in the drop-down list are neglected, all new ETIM values are additionally distinguished by a special sign: ✔.
  • Accepting ETIM DYNAMIC in BMEcat files
    When importing BMEcat files, ETIM descriptions in the DYNAMIC version are accepted (in addition to the fixed versions of ETIM).
  • New language: Slovak
    Slovak has been added to the application, as an interface language, and as a product description language.

9.0 (2023-02-07)

  • ETIM version 9
    The latest version 9 of ETIM classification has been made available in the application. Reference images and class synonyms have been updated. ETIMv9 has become the default version for BMEcat files and the working version for Excel files.
  • Automatic products migration to ETIM version 9
    The technical description of the products has been migrated to ETIM version 9 (see the section "Products / Migration ETIMv8/ETIMv9" in the user guide). Migrating products does not change the settings of BMEcat export links. Existing export links using ETIMv8 will continue to provide technical information in ETIMv8. To make technical information available in the new ETIM version, a new export link must be generated and made available. The latest version of ETIM (currently: 9) is always used to export/import Excel files.

8.37 (2023-01-25)

  • Last modification date of related products
    The recording of the modification date of related products has been introduced. The name of the user who made this change is also recorded. This allows you to filter products by the date of the last modification of related products and by the user who made the change. Modification of the list of products related to a given product will result in a change in the modification date of that product. Note: deletion of a product that appears as a related product in other products will cause modification of the list of related products in those products, and consequently will also change the date of the last modification of those products.

8.36 (2023-01-13)

  • BMEcat file validation
    The application has been enhanced with the ability to validate an imported BMEcat file. The structural XML correctness is checked (well formed and valid), as well as the compliance with the XSD schema and with the "ETIM International Guidelines for suppliers to provide product data".
  • Excel file validation
    The ability to validate imported Excel files has been developed. In the validation process, the indicated file is checked for recognizable fields to be imported and for their corresponding values.
  • Option to define a list of MIME codes to be displayed
    A new option has been added in the user settings to specify which types of MIME files (which MIME codes) are to be displayed in the application (local and system product cards, product catalog).

8.35 (2022-11-04)

  • No more keys with empty values in GET responses in the API / API Gateway
    The rule that elements with empty values are not returned in API responses has been generalized (exceptions to this rule have been removed).
  • Progress bar during template generation
    Due to the duration of template generation, which, for example, in the case of a very large number of ETIM classes can exceed several seconds, a progress bar for this operation has been introduced, while blocking the possibility of restarting template generation.
  • Information on the number of products transferred to the export link data form
    Listing of export links (Files / Export links) in the case of a large number of links was slowed down by counting the number of products for each link, so the information on the number of products was moved to the form of individual export links.

8.34 (2022-10-28)

  • Supplier users (API)
    In addition to the possibility for distributors to create GUI supplier users, an analogous possibility for creating API supplier users has been introduced. API supplier users have access only to the products of a given supplier within the scope of permissions specified by the distributor.

8.33 (2022-10-17)

  • Additional column in the "Products by ETIM" and "Migration ETIM" views
    In both the "Products by ETIM" and "Migration ETIM" views, it is possible to add column that allows you to filter/group products according to your criteria.
  • Search for columns in "Arrangement of columns"
    Since the list of "Arrangement of columns" options is long, the ability to search for columns by name has been added.
  • Possibility to move a column to the beginning/end in the "Arrangement of columns"
    In the "Arrangement of columns" form, the ability to set individual elements of the column list to the first or last position using the arrows (up and down) has been added.
  • Ability to select/unselect all options in the multiselect fields
    For long lists with multiple-choice fields in forms (e.g., import options), the ability to select/unselect all options with one click has been added (applies to lists containing more than 7 items).
  • Extension of the information header with field names in the selected field description language (Excel)
    The first line of the header in language versions of Excel files (other than English) has been supplemented with the names of each column in the respective language.
  • Procedure for removing exact duplicates for: MIME, packings, and prices
    The procedure removes exact duplicates (where all fields of two items of the same type are identical) for MIME, packing, and price elements. Deletion of duplicates is done within the rights of a given user.

8.32 (2022-10-04)

  • Ability to define MIME types imported into the disk space
    Importing files into the disk space can be selectively customized: you can choose what types of files are to be imported (Settings / Account).
  • Export of selected products without losing the context of the product view
    Now the export of selected products is done without losing the context of the product view: after the export, the user can return to the initial context of the current filters and product selection.
  • Adding the "Expiration date" field for filtering in the "All products" view
    Another field "Expiration date" has been added to the columns in the "All Products" view, which gives the possibility of filtering or bulk modification of products by this field.
  • Modification of field names: "Validity starting date of the product" -> "Valid from", "Validity expiration date of the product" -> "Expiration date"
    Field names have been changed (shortened). Note: The names of the corresponding columns in the Excel template used to import products have also been changed.
  • Modification of the default sorting order of labels (permanent labels at the end)
    In the current sorting of labels, the user-defined labels have priority. Permanent labels are displayed at the end.
  • The procedure of deleting prices with no price amount
    The complex element "Price" has no reason without a price amount value, which is its basic component (even "prices on demand" should have a zero amount value entered). The procedure is useful for deleting prices without a specified amount.

8.31 (2022-09-09)

  • Fixed error of incomplete ETIM description on product cards
    Correction of an error that occurred in the ETIM description in classes containing multiple occurrences of features with the same name (such cases may occur depending on the description/translation in a given language).

8.30 (2022-09-08)

  • An extended list of acceptable MIME files in the disk space
    The list of file types that can be uploaded to the disk space has been expanded accordingly to MIME codes.
  • Bulk deletion of files in disk space
    Bulk file deletion from disk space has been enabled (without deleting the MIME paths relating to the deleted files).
  • Disabling deletion of MIME paths when deleting files in disk space
    MIME path removal when deleting files from disk space has been disabled. By disabling this time-consuming operation, bulk deletion of files from disk space has become possible.
  • Administrative procedures
    The ability to add predefined administrative procedures to the application has been introduced. They can be executed on all products or selected by a filter.
  • The procedure of deleting MIME paths to non-existent files in disk space
    Dedicated procedure to remove MIME paths pointing to non-existent files in the account’s disk space. If the path being removed is the only one in the MIME element, the entire MIME element is removed.
  • Change of file size limits
    The size limit for a single file uploaded to the application is 64 MB (both: files uploaded to disk space and product data import files: Excel and BMEcat). The size limit for images shown on product cards (web and pdf) is 20 MB. Files of larger size are skipped when generating product cards.

8.29 (2022-08-16)

  • Choice of application behavior when importing a file with the same name (disk space)
    When another different file with the same name is imported into the disk space, the user has a choice: whether the file is to be overwritten, whether a new file is to be created (with a name with the suffix _1, _2, ...) or whether the file is to be skipped.
  • The "Supplier" column with the name of the supplier
    The "Supplier" column (in the product views) contains, starting from this version, the supplier name (instead of the identifier, displayed until now). At the same time, the way of filtering in this column has been changed, which is done by selecting values from the list of defined suppliers.

8.28 (2022-08-01)

  • "Read-only" mode
    Option to block product modifications (for GUI and API users). The "read-only" mode can be used in exceptional situations, such as urgent maintenance work or hardware failure of the main server and temporarily switching the application to the backup server.

8.27 (2022-07-21)

  • New date filtering type "in the last"
    A new type of filtering by date has been implemented. In addition to the previous "range" method (where a range of filtered dates "from-to" was given), it is now possible to filter by relative: "in the last n hours/days/months" etc.
  • Clearing a single column-filter (activated with button)
    Possibility to clear the filtering criteria ("Clear" button) on the selected column, without changing filters of the other columns (this concerns only the columns having button-activated filters: completeness indicators, modification/creation dates and labels).
  • Possibility to choose URL directly from the disk space
    When indicating the path to a file (when defining the MIME or when selecting a logo file), it is possible to choose the relevant file directly from the disk space. The possibility of uploading a file from the local disk to the disk space is retained (in this case, the file is first downloaded into the disk space and can then be used in the file path).
  • Ability to define the type of completeness mask for export links

8.21 (2022-02-17)

  • API Gateway
    An option to allow commercial access to their own products via APIs for third parties.

The API Gateway option also provides access to a web page that describes the available access levels and the API Gateway documentation.
  • System attributes
    System attributes are created by the system administrator. They are global (each product can have the value of such an attribute assigned to it) and permanent (a system attribute cannot be edited or deleted by users).

8.17 (2021-11-30)

  • Product filtering by values of global attributes
    The global attributes created by the user are available in the product view (the visibility of the columns can be managed in the option "Arrangement of columns" in the hamburger menu). This allows you to filter products by attribute values. Filters set on alphanumeric attributes, are language dependent (they apply to the language in which they are set).
  • Group modification of global attribute values
    Availability of global attributes in product view columns enables their bulk modification for multiple products simultaneously (using the "Modify in groups" option in the hamburger menu).

8.16 (2021-11-16)

  • Buyers
    Possibility to define buyers - product information recipients. This allows to generate product information BMEcat-files dedicated for specific buyers. Additionally, export settings can be associated with each buyer, allowing quick generation of dedicated BMEcat files for a given buyer.
  • BMEcat catalogs
    Defining BMEcat catalogs, together with their names and version numbering system, makes it possible to assign them to particular recipients (buyers) and facilitates their personalised sequential numbering.
  • Change of label selection view (filters, group modification)
    The new look of selecting labels allows them to be more easily identified and facilitates quick choice of the correct subset of labels (especially if there are many of them), which was a weak point in the previous interface.
  • Export sub-menu
    Due to the increasing number of export options, they have been separated by the type of exported files and placed in sub-menus ("BMEcat", "Excel", "System product cards", "Local product cards").
  • First column of product description locked when scrolling the columns to the right (all product views)
    Locking the first column in the product view makes it easier to identify products when scrolling the columns to the right. Instead of the main product identifier, you can place another identifier (e.g. GTIN) in the first column - to do this, use the column reordering option in the hamburger menu.
  • Possibility to add an additional column with a selected product identifier (Excel export)
    This option allows to include a column containing an additional product identifier (next to the main product identifier) in the exported Excel file. It is intended to facilitate the identification of products in communication between companies that usually refer to different product identifiers. This additional column is omitted during import, which is always based on the main product ID.
  • Clone users by regional managers
    With this option, regional managers can clone existing users (a useful option when creating multiple users with similar authorizations).
