Release Highlights

Introducing the foundation of scripting capabilities. Using the TypeScript programming language, users will be able to make available further customization of Viz Pilot Edge fill-in forms by showing, hiding and locking fields when editing forms, which is particularly useful when working with large or complex templates.

Changes and New Features

• Opening a template will update the current URL (for example, http://pds.server/pilotedge/?template=123), you can use this link to quickly open the template on startup.

• Opening a data element will update the current URL (http://pds.server/pilotedge/?dataelement=123), you can use this link to quickly open the data element on startup.

• In the Search Media tab, when there is enough display space, several filters to the right of the search bar will be visible, such as Show (by date), Media status and Tags. When there is not enough display space, the filters are moved into the "Options" drop-down. Before this release, all filters, excluding Tags, were moved into the drop-down. With this release, the Tags filter is also moved to the drop-down.

• The About box now contains information about browser name, browser version and if the browser is capable of decoding H264 videos (VPE-4334).

• Show Edge now uses Microsoft Edge as the browser. Please refer to the documentation on how to install the new Show Edge application (VPE-3908).

• Improved error message if MOS object is invalid when opening up from Newsroom system in Pilot Edge (VPE-875).

System Requirements

Newsroom Systems Used for Testing

• Open Media 4.4.4359

Upgrading

When upgrading from a previous version of Pilot Edge, the previous version may still be presented by the host browser for a short time due to client side caching. To prevent this, clear the host browser cache. If you are using the default Internet Explorer host, open Internet Explorer, press CTRL + SHIFT + DEL, select Temporary Internet files and website files and click DELETE.

Important Notes

• If there are any issues with map fields when running in Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 +, remove include all local sites not listed in other zones and turn off detection of intranet zones in the IE11 policy settings (VPE-2329).
