Azure Authentication support​

This is a much-requested feature from Azure Active Directory users - now, you can connect to Dataedo repository and your Azure/SQL Server databases when importing schema with Azure Authentication. There are two options available: Password and Integrated.

We are looking into adding support for Universal with MFA authentication option in the future.

Show/hide schema names​

Till now, Dataedo decided whether to show schema name in the object name or not based on the DBMS. Many users pointed out that they would like to decide

Now, Dataedo has a smarter algorithm to show schema name – based on DBMS and number of schemas in your database, and it provides option to override this manually.

Currently, this option can be changed only directly in the repository database. To change iIf you wan to override default value update show_schema_override column in databases table (0 to hide and 1 to show) for the corresponding database in the repository.

In the future, we will add a switch in the UI.

Removed Lite edition​

From this version free Lite edition is no longer supported. Read about our reasoning. Please feel free to keep using 8.1.2 if you want to enjoy the free documentation tool.

• Dataedo 8.1.2 Windows installer

• Dataedo 8.1.2 Windows zip package

New welcome screen​

Many users mentioned that running Dataedo for the first time can be complicated due to the amount of information on our starting screen. We've decided to rebuild it from scratch to make starting the app more straightforward.

Redesigned ribbon​

Another thing that complicated using Dataedo was the positioning of ribbon buttons. Many users tried the New/Open button (which most users don't really need) to add new documentations due to its prominent position. Now the button for adding new documentation is moved to the start of the ribbon. We've also updated some of the icons so their use is clearer. We believe this will make choosing the right options easier for new users to use Dataedo.

Other improvements​

• Fixed an issue with primary and unique key icons in HTML export

• Removed "(64 bit)" from menu start option, leaving just "Dataedo", to make it more obvious as a default option

• Upgrading file repository checks the user's license before upgrading now

• Updated UI libraries

Bug fix​

Dark theme​

Until now, Dataedo only had one color scheme, with light colors. Since multiple users mentioned being used to working in darker environments, we've decided to add a dark theme to Dataedo.

When first run, Dataedo will ask you to choose a theme:

You can choose the theme you want to use when first opening the app, and later change it in the About window.

Other improvements​

• Fixed an issue with custom fields of dropdown - open type not updating the option list

• Fixed a crash related to choosing DBMS in the Import documentation screen

• Fixed graphical issues when using Dataedo with remote desktop

• Improved performance of the update notification bar

Fixed a critical bug with module editing​

This updated fixes a critical bug where editing a module's description could remove descriptions of tables it includes.

We recommend installing this update immediately.

If you encountered this issue and don't have a backup to restore, you can use this query in your repository to recover most of the descriptions in plaintext:

    UPDATE [dbo].[tables]

       SET [description] = [description_plain]

     WHERE [description] IS NULL;

You can also contact us at [email protected] and we'll guide you step by step.

Fixed issues with ERDs​
