What's Changed
Admin Features
Navigation aid builder create a simple level 1/ level 2 diagram (using flexbox layout) for any taxonomy or the data type tree. The htm can then be extracted and pasted into the diagrams table (which supports SVG and plain HTML)
Bulk loaders, Waltz now has bulk upload support for taxonomy mappings, involvements (people to entity links) and assessements. The assessment support was expanded to cover entities other than applications.
Assessment Rippler, administrators can now use settings to configure how asssessment ratings can be rippled between entities. The Waltz job will handle then mapping between differing entity types. For example a ripple may be defined which ripples a physical flow assessment to it's associated logical flow and then upwards to the source and target nodes.

1.64
Noteworthy
Merge Data types
Admin support for merging two datatypes, automigrates data as needed (e.g. flows, rules)
Bulk Measurable Ratings
Added a simple UI for bulk registration of measurable ratings (taxonomy alignments)
Bulk Measurable Taxonomy Updates
Added a simple UI for bulk taxonomy changes (adding nodes, removing nodes etc.)

All Changes
1.62
Noteworthy
People pages
When aggregating apps to a person we have restricted which roles are considered (e.g ITAO is included, Artifactory User is excluded)
This should reduce the 'overstatement' of a persons application footprint
Admin / Housekeeping
- Visualise fine grained permission groups
- Admin Settings screen now allows comments
- User roles admin view improvements, allows linking to role owners etc,
Flows
Removed directional filter on aggregate flow details view
1.61.1
Noteworthy
Aliases
Aliases allow users to register alternative names for Applications, making them easier to search.
In 1.61.1 we've extended support for registering and searching for aliases to:
- End User Applications (EUDAs)
- Actors
Data flows
The new and improved Flow Details section, which had only been available for Applications, is now available on all aggregate pages.
1.61
Noteworthy
EUDA Taxonomy Mappings
In 1.60 we added support for linking EUDAs to flows and assessments. In 1.61 EUDAs can now be also be linked against taxonomies (e.g. Capability), providing a way for us to more accurately document our IT landscape. Aggregate views will correctly show the mix of Applications and EUDAs.
Note: We shall be looking (in a future release) to remove the ability to 'promote' apps to EUDAs now that they have feature parity with applications.
Physical Flows
Waltz has often aggregated flow information from various sources. However it can be difficult to refer to flows outside of using their Waltz database id's. This release ensures each physical flow has a simplified external identifier (we won't overwrite any provided id's).
As part of the change external identifiers can be used in URLs which will simplify deep-linking into Waltz.
The new Ids take the form:
| ext id example | desc |
|---|---|
PF_000001 |
Physical flow identifier |
PS_000001 |
Physical spec identifier |
LF_000001 |
Logical flow identifier |
Search
Data types can now be searched for by their external ids (stored as code in the database)
1.60.2
A minor release addressing bugs.
Changes
- FIX: Flow Data Type editor not showing read-only entries correctly
