Data Management - Version 2.0 release

The build name on FTP: data-management_4.8.0.1.zip

This is the second Data Management release, following V1.0 from last phase. It ships with priint:suite 4.8. The focus this time: easier setup and smoother work with large data sets.

Navigation got a real rework. Before, everything sat in one flat list, which gets painful once you have hundreds of filters or attribute sets. Now the Filter, Group, Attribute Set, and Facet Hierarchy pages have a collection tree on the left side. Click a node, the table shows only items in that collection, and a breadcrumb keeps track of where you are. The same tree picker replaces the old flat dropdown in Create and Edit forms. The Collection field is also editable now, so you can move an item to another collection right from the form instead of recreating it. Content Metadata (CMD) now works at the attribute set level, the same way it already works for single attributes. Add, edit, delete, search, and copy entries in one place. Handy when the same metadata applies to the whole set, no need to repeat it attribute by attribute.

Loading behavior also changed with this release. Since data now follows the nested collection structure, pages load items only when you select a collection or expand a node, instead of loading everything up front. In most cases pages feel lighter, especially on large data sets. This comes from the new concept itself rather than a separate performance effort, so we keep watching how it behaves in real projects and will continue tuning it in the next phases.

A small improvement has also been made to the application installation process. The Data Management Service is now included in the PubServer core package. To use this application, you only need to set up and configure the Spring Boot application.
