Dynamicweb 9.13

Dynamicweb 9.13 is a transitional release focused on improving and stabilizing existing features while preparing the codebase for Dynamicweb 10. The main focus has been on PIM. 

Several important PIM features have been improved and streamlined: 

• Translation
  The translation service now supports countries with multiple languages (e.g., Canada, Belgium, Switzerland).    
   
• Digital Assets
  As part of the Auto-Checkin feature we have implemented a tool to remove missing links from the database when a file/image is removed from the file area. You can also define a Primary Image without a pre- or postfix value, and the scheduled task now has the option to not detach assets from products. Asset categories can now be used in query-expressions, so you can check if a product has a value in any given asset category. Finally, the ICECAT add-in now supports the download of mediatype: PDF.  
   
• Product enrichment
  The tools for product enrichment have been improved in several areas. For example, when creating new language versions of a product, data from the default language is only copied to the new language version if the Field-settings don’t allow changes between language versions.  Several quality-of-life improvements to the variant panel have also been added; New variant combinations can be saved as extended variants immediately, and you can now search & set up paging for an improved selection & filtering experience.  
   
• Product fields
  Much like the variant panel, search and paging functions have been implemented in the Product field settings area. The FieldTypeProvider (Concat) has been extended to also include SystemFields. Minor UX enhancements to Completeness and Field Display Groups.  

The focus has been on OData, increasing the experience when working with OData and the number of systems that we support in the Dynamics 365 stack. 

• OData  
  • OData integration for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM and Finance and Operations 
    • Unleash the power of OData by integrating directly to Dynamics 365 CRM and Finance and Operations

      ​

      ​
  • Auto generate ID based on GUID 
    • Generate IDs based in GUID, where a meaningful value for primary key is missing.

• ViewModels
  Quantity prices for products have been added to the ProductViewModel. This means you can render e.g. a table showing different prices depending on how many products the customer buys. Various properties, such as impersonation information and sales tax information, have been added to the OrderViewModel.  
   
• Other
  Additional methods for exporting product data have been added to the WebAPI.  

• Item types restrictions are now sorted alphabetically, making it easier to locate the item needed. ParagraphId and PageId have been added to the dropdown in the ItemType field options.
