Cogynt v2.17 Release Notes

Cogility is delighted to announce that Cogynt version 2.17 is generally available for AWS customers as of April 2025. Please see what’s new below.

For more information, or to have your Cogynt instance updated, please contact us.

Authoring

Escape Characters in Lexicons

• Some special characters are reserved for invoking special operations within the Lexicon keyword matching feature, e.g. wildcards or delimiters.
• These can now be escaped by using the conventional escape (\) character, which effectively prevents the activation of the operation and treats the special characters as literal parts of the keyword, improving flexibility of the lexicon feature

General UI Improvements

Extended the use of subscriptions to allow updates from other users to appear on all users' screens without refreshing the page, allowing for a more seamless UI experience.

Insert-Only Update

• When an input is configured as insert-only, Cogynt strictly treats all messages ingested as stateless events.
• When an outcome is configured as insert-only, the pattern ignores all UPDATE and DELETE instances of input streams, and will simply publish the first instance of COG_id.

Workstation

General

Relabeled the term "Additional Tags" to "Tags" in various areas of the Workstation UI.

Open Events and Collections in New Tabs

• A brand-new mode to view events and collections has been added. Users may now open an event or a collection in its own browser tab.
• When working with an event in its own tab, it is possible to work on linked collections simultaneously via a slide-out drawer.
• When working with a collection in its own tab, it is possible to work on linked events simultaneously via a slide-out drawer.
• Events and collections can now be shared via hyperlinks. A Copy Link button for events and collections has been added throughout various widgets in Workstation

Data Ingestion

The ingestion of Event History has been split apart from the ingestion of events for performance optimizations:

• Users may now ingest Event History for an event on the Data Ingestion screen in the actions menu of each event row.
• The History Ingestion pipeline status (e.g., Running vs. Stopped) is displayed in the Data Ingestion table.
• Events that are not eligible (streamType = Insert-Only) to have history are not be toggle-able to ingest history.

Event Details

• The Collections tab of an event has been redesigned with the added ability to add an event to the collection using a new Add Collection popup window.
• Fixed a visual bug where highlights on text fields were causing unnecessary line breaks.
• Added a Copy icon on applicable event fields for easy copy and pasting of values.

Collection Details

• The Items tab of a collection has been redesigned with the added ability to add an event to the collection using a new Add Event popup window.
• You can now add a collection as related to another collection in the actions menu of the Object Detail Viewer when viewing a collection.
• A new Add a Collection button has been added to the Related Collections accordion.
• Added a new Edit button to custom field templates to the Custom Fields tab for users with permission to manage custom field templates.

Collection Short ID

Collections can now have a Short ID automatically generated for easier reference, as compared to the default UUID. This is managed and set via the Misc Settings screen within Workstation settings.

Collections Widget Redesign

• The Collections widget has been redesigned to be presented as a table-based view instead of a card list.
• The filtering experience on collections has been redesigned:
  • Users can now filter collections by Status (formerly labeled as Collection Tag) and Additional Tags separately from each other, allowing more powerful combinations of filters.
  • Collections can now be filtered by priority level.
  • The Search capability for collections has expanded to also look through the new Collection Short ID field as well as the original ID field.
  • A Refresh icon has been added to the Collections widget to re-execute any filters without needing to reload the view.

Custom Fields UX​

Editing a text custom field on a collection no longer opens up a form. Instead, the text field transitions between a view and edit state for a more pleasant editing experience.

Events Explorer User Experience Improvements​

• Events Explorer now highlights any event rows that are currently loaded onto an Object Details Viewer widget on the current Workspace, making it easier to keep track of which items are being viewed.
• You can now add an event to a collection in the actions menu of any event row on the Events Explorer widget.
• The icon/color associated with an event can now be displayed on Events Explorer via the Icon/Title column in the Columns menu.
• A Refresh icon has been added to Events Explorer to re-execute any filters without needing to reload the view.

Event History Redesign​

The Event History widget has been redesigned to use a table layout for consistency with the Events Explorer and Collections widgets.

Workspace Templates​

Workspace templates now persist the filters that are applied on the Events Explorer and Collections widgets.

 System Notifications​

Clicking a system notification now opens the relevant collection or event associated to the notification in a new browser tab.

Audit Viewer

A Refresh icon has been added to the Audit table to re-execute any filters without needing to reload the view.

User Management

Added a new permission for Workstation: Misc Settings. Users with the Misc Settings permission have the ability to access miscellaneous Workstation settings, such as configuring the Collection Short ID prefix.
