TL;DR:
Automation in Procedures
Workspace Setting for Units
Global Search for Procedures
Update Risk Matrix in Test Management
Part Assemblies in Builds
New! Automation in Procedures
To help you boost productivity and save time, this new no-code automation capability enables your team to orchestrate and execute procedures with minimal manual intervention, while continuing to record and collect data in the same way as before.
Automated procedures can complete steps based on predefined conditions and criteria including telemetry values and commanding blocks. With API access, routine tasks such as commanding, telemetry, and data collection can now easily be automated and streamlined.
Check out the Automation Launch Blog Post to watch the full demo video and learn more about this powerful new feature!
New! Workspace Setting for Units
To drive consistency across all procedures and tests, your team can build a library of defined Units that can be used for field inputs, tables, and conditions.
If the desired Unit has not been added to the global workspace settings, a Custom Unit can still be created.
New! Global Search for Procedures
Now you can search through all your procedural content quickly and easily (i.e. specific words, data, or personnel)
New! Update Risk Matrix in Test Management
Organizations use different terms across their test and risk assessment programs. To reflect this, an admin can now adjust names and color coding for the risk matrix to match your team's workflow.
Updates to the risk matrix must be approved by an editor in order to take effect.
New! Part Assemblies in Builds
Improving your team’s organization and communication is a top priority for Epsilon3. To help keep you organized, parts can now be marked as assemblies, and you’ll have a component tree to visualize the entire assembly.
