Dear ASG-RD-Users,
It’s time to write some words about the future of the product
I know that we announced a new major version earlier – but we didn’t expect as much effort to create a newly designed application. We had several requests that make a redesign of the data architecture necessary. This allowed us to integrate some major changes and to implement new features faster than ever into the product and have shorter update cycles in the future, but it cost much time to finish the redesign of the current product.
The main changes in the newly designed app are:
- Private and Public objects for all object types (folders, credentials, connections, applications)
- Inheritance of properties for all objects on every level (from folder to folder and from folder to connections) – and in database mode additional personalization of properties (not all, but all that makes sense)
- Automatic Offline Mode in Database environments – will be enhanced in near future with sync of offline edited data
- Newly designed export and import – users can choose any data to export and import / no difference between file or database mode
- Newly designed navigation tree view with standard drag and drop functionality – sort, ordering of items will be personalized
- New security options to protect your data (not implemented in beta, but will be in RTM)
- New roles concept that allows users only to see, edit and maintain data that is needed (e.g. activate only protocols you use on folder or connection level and reduce the data amount that is saved and maintained by the user)
- API for accessing the data will be added in near future – design is already implemented
In a first step we would like to start a “beta test” for interested users with in the next week – everybody is welcome to give feedback, report bugs and so on. We will provide a closed forum for the beta test with a limited number of users. Everybody who is interested should reply to this thread and will get notification when we start with the Beta version…
After finalizing the current version we will add more new functions that are already requested – new protocols, update existing protocol support, API, …
We have a huge list of requests that we like to add and will add very soon – and we think we will get more requests from our customers We will be able with the new app to integrate features quicker than ever before.
Thanks for your patience and staying with ASG-RD!
