Authoring and HCEP​

Date/Time Formatter​

• Added a new Date Time without Timezone datatype to parse date-time values without timezone information.
  • The previous Date Time datatype is renamed to Date Time with Timezone.
  • The Date Time with Timezone datatype also supports parsing integer representation of timestamps (i.e., epoch seconds and milliseconds).
• Users can now directly ingest and analyze data with custom timestamp formats by providing string format patterns. The ISO representation of date-time currently supported remains the default representation ingested and published by Authoring, and is called "Cogynt Date Time format" in format definition.
• Published date-time datatypes are now be in the format configured for the output event type date-time field.
• In constraints and computations, two date-time values are compared based on the actual moment in time represented regardless of the timezone or format pattern of the date-time value. Any operation that requires detection of equality or uniqueness between date-time data types follows this equality definition.
• Constraints and computations are valid between date-time fields of the same type (with or without timezone) regardless of format. For example, computations can perform DateDiff between an ISO formatted datetime and epoch milliseconds timestamp. Date Time with Timezone and Date Time without Timezone datatypes are incompatible and cannot be compared with each other in constraints or computations.
• Lookup event types with JDBC data sources (i.e., Pinot, Postgres and Opensearch) support database native date-time field types, which recognize and parse date-time fields native to each respective database.

Schema Path and Field sync behavior and layout​

• Removed Sync Path check box.
• Added data type name in data type drop down field.
• Reversed positions of field name and path names, such that path is be the primary field the user configures.
• Field names now inherit the same value as the path by default.
• The default field name can be overwritten optionally by typing the custom value in the field name text box.

Lexicons​

• The Save button in lexicon edit mode has been removed. Lexicons now auto-save upon edit.
• A lexicon table's expanded rows now list all event type names that references the lexicon. The Referenced column in lexicon tables is now sortable.

Deployment Configurations​

• The read-only view for deployment templates now includes the referenced deployment template name if one is referenced.

Constraints and Computations​

• Added new dropTimezone function in Date Time functions.
• Added new toDateTimeWithoutTimezone function in Datatype Conversion functions.
• Removed "Use Timezone" modifier for the DateDiff function.
• Added X, h, and a to the DatePart modifier dropdown list to support timezone offset in integer format (represented by symbol X), and 12-hour clock representation of hour value (represented by symbol h) with AM/PM (represented by symbol a).
• Added "Unit" modifier to toEpoch to select between ms (default) and s.
• The Join function has been moved to String Functions (previously under Aggregation Functions).
• Negative values are now permitted as offsets in constraints.
• Options for "months" and "years" have been removed from the date-time constraint offset and tolerance time unit dropdown menus.

Other​

• The Referenced column in schema and lexicon tables is now sortable.

Data Management Tool​

• Updated the file upload preview and manual entry form to support the new date-time data types.
• S3 connectors do not support Date Time with Timezone and Date Time without Timezone data validation.
  • The Old implementation of the S3 date-time type validation remains in place (i.e., only validate ISO formatted data-time types).
  • Non-ISO formatted timestamps are recognized as either string or integer types.

Workstation​

General​

• Searching for an icon name has been improved to return better results.

Collections​

• Creating a collection from the Add to Collection modal that is triggered from an event now automatically adds the event immediately after collection creation.

Drilldown​

• Implemented a new visual design of what events and solutions look like.
• Implemented "comboing," which groups similar nodes together to reduce visual clutter.

Event Detail Templates​

• Added a search bar to event fields to locate your fields more easily.
• Fixed issue where vertical lines on the build grid would disappear when scrolling down.

AI Configs​

• The AI Configs UI has been redesigned to accommodate a large text field for the system prompt but also enable future flexibility for additional settings.

Chatbot​

• Added the ability to delete chat sessions:
  • Super admins can delete any chat session.
  • Normal users can only delete chat sessions that they own.

Audit Viewer​

• Added dedicated filtering menu options for AI Configs and Chat Session in the UI.
• Added logs for deleted chat sessions.
