Highlights of this release
3.1 Options to Export curve without dependents and with curve
dependencies.
Now user has options to export curve definition with or without dependents/dependencies while
exporting curve definitions.
Below screenshot illustrates the position where the 'Parameters' option is places in Export wizard of
GDM 4.4.7

3.1.1 Exporting curve definition without dependents.
By Default, exporting curve definition will export dependent curve definitions as well. To skip dependent
curves user has to set value False for Curve Dependents parameter in <parameters> window in STEP3 of
export wizard.
Below screenshot illustrates user exporting curve definition without curve dependents and curve
dependencies.
3.1.2 Exporting curve definition with dependencies
By default, exporting curve definition will not export curve dependencies. To export curve dependencies
user has to set value True for Curve Dependencies parameter in <parameters> window in STEP3 of
export wizard.
Below screenshot illustrates user exporting curve definition without curve dependents and with curve
dependencies set to true.

3.2 Option required to export a curve model without process log from
GDM client.
By Default, Exporting the curve will export the Process Log as well. If user does not want the Process Log
to be exported along with the Curve then we need to set value as "False" for parameter "Process Log".
Below screenshot illustrates user exporting curve model without process log.
3.3 Tool tip to show allowed Special characters for password.
Now if user tries to provide special characters in password a tool tip will be displayed saying invalid input
option along with list of allowed characters.
Below screen screenshot illustrates tool tip being displayed when user types invalid character in
password field

3.5 Security Improvement
In GDM 4.4.7, Improvement has been done for Genic Curve Builder, User, Workflow and workflow jobs
Security .
Below is how new security implementation is working in GDM 4.4.7 Curve Definitions 1. only those curve definitions which has permission READ or higher than READ will be displayed.
2. Curve definitions which has NONE permission will not be displayed.
3. Only those curves which are mentioned in the policy group will only be displayed.
Example:- if we specify policy curvedefinitons://ice/* only those curve which satisfies this policy will be
displayed.
workflow and workflow jobs 1. only those workflow and jobs which has permission READ and higher than READ will be displayed.
2. Workflow and jobs which has NONE permission will not be displayed.
3. Only those workflow and jobs which are mentioned in the policy group will only be displayed.
Genic DataManager v4.4.7 Release Notes
Page 8
Example:- if we specify policy workflow://test and job://test only those workflow and jobs which
satisfies this policy will be displayed.
users 1. Now users will be displayed on the new policy added called COMPANY.
2. we can add 'company://' policy in the policy group and associate it to user, by doing this, when user
who has company policy associated logs in - he can see only users of the company which is mentioned in
the policy.
Example:- if we specify policy 'company://datagenic' in policy groups then only user of Datagenic will be
displayed when user logs into the server.
3.6 Ability to add On-date along with URI when we select data from Select
data window in Excel add-in
In GDM 4.4.7, Improvement has been made in Excel add-in so that data selected from select data
window will always display on-date in the URI.
3.6.1 Current Behaviour in GDM 4.4.7



From now on selecting data from select data window will always display on-date in cell.
Refresh data will retains the URI provided.
If we want to fetch data always for latest on-date then we need to remove the on-date from the URI and
click on refresh.
3.7 Ability to refresh sheet with formulae
In GDM 4.4.7, Ability to refresh sheet with Formulae has been added. Now we can place multiple
formulae in the excel sheet and perform refresh sheet and also Auto refresh functionality can be used
on this.
Below screenshot illustrate the fix in GDM 4.4.7 -
