Release Notes

2 Key Enhancements
The Aras Innovator 14 Key Enhancements are outlined below.

2.1 .NET Framework to .NET Core Transition

The primary focus of Aras Innovator 14 is transitioning the Aras server components from .NET
Framework to .NET Core. .NET Core has some significant advantages over .NET Framework, such as
cross-platform support and better scalability.
Some customer developed Methods may require modification. Subscribers should consider the need for
modification of method when evaluating the upgrade to Release 14 with Aras.

2.2 Server Logging Updates

To make development, testing and troubleshooting easier, the following server logging enhancements
have been implemented:
• Aras Innovator Server, Aras Innovator Web Client, OAuth server, Vault Server, Conversion Service
and Agent Service have unified logs configuration in server's appsettings.json file. Default
configuration is also unified and is the same for all servers and services after installation. Only fatal
errors are logged by default.
• ASP.NET Core native logging mechanism (ILogger and ILoggerFactory) is available in CallContext
public object. This mechanism uses server's log configuration and writes server methods logs along
with other server's logs. Developers of server methods should use this mechanism for new
development. Old public log API in CallContext is depracated with appropriate messages and will be
removed in the future.

2.3 Styling and Controls

2.3.1 Web Client and Controls

Styling and controls for many elements of the Aras web client have been updated for improved usability
and consistency. This includes primary navigation, such as the login screen, the header and the
navigation panel, item forms, the simple search data entry row, and grid rows.
With form styling, previously if you defined a custom style on a required field, the styling of required fields
(blue) would override this. Now if you define a custom style on a required field, it overrides the required
fields styling (which is now yellow).

2.3.2 Tree Grid View

The toolbar and context menu for Tree Grid Views have been updated to standard styling for consistency
throughout Aras Innovator.

 Aras Innovator 14
Release Notes

2.4 New Table of Contents (TOC) Editor

A new graphical editor has been introduced to enable administrators to configure the Table of Contents
(TOC) in one place. New functionality includes the ability to define TOC buttons and categories, configure
custom labels and icons for TOC buttons, and customize the sort order of TOC entries. Additionally,
administrators can preview the TOC for specific identities within the TOC Editor. Refer to the Aras
Innovator 14 - Configurable User Interface Administrator Guide for step-by-step instructions for using the
editor and configuring common use cases.
The TOC Editor creates Configurable User Interface (CUI) objects to define and render the TOC in the
Aras Innovator web client. This approach replaces the old TOC Access and TOC View relationships on
ItemTypes. Customers taking advantage of the Aras Upgrade subscription service will no longer need to
update any packages that are included in the scope of an upgrade project. The process to update existing
packages that are not in the scope of an upgrade services project requires three simple steps.
• Import the old package into 14
• Use the TOC Editor to define any TOC buttons or categories required for the package
• Export the package using the package export utility.
Refer to the Aras Innovator 14 - Configurable User Interface Administrator Guide for more details.
