Smart Core

We have made several improvements to Smart Core, adding new features and improving the output of Copilot. Notably:

New tools to integrate Market artifacts, allowing Copilot to search for and install connectors from the Axon Ivy Market.
The Process Editor content automatically updates when Copilot makes changes.

These improvements have been released as part of Smart Core Alpha 3. Check out the official release on GitHub for more details.

Audience

No more manual search for and installation of connectors. Simply ask Copilot to do it.

Improved output of Copilot to cover more use cases and avoid errors.

Version

Improve testing of LLM inference.
Improve UX for Copilot usage in VSCode Designer.

The BPMN2 import feature is now able to handle element decorator icons. Especially all kinds of catching and throwing events.
The BPMN2 import feature is also available in NEO.

Version

We will further extend the BPMN2 importer to support further artefacts: DataObjects, DataStore, Loop/AdHoc/Parallel/Sequential decorators, DefaultFlow marker, etc.
The decorator icons will also be avaliable in the process editor

CMS Editor

The User experience of the Translation Wizard has been improved.

The Translation Wizard is disabled if the Translation Service is not configured.
Opening the Translation Wizard with no Content Objects selected will treat all of them as selected.
The Translation Wizard ignores selected Content Objects that are not translatable and conveys this message to the user via corresponding warning messages.

Audience

Low-coders
Process developers

Value

Improved look and feel of the Translation Wizard.
