Users can now set bookmarks at various levels \u2013 whether for entire catalogues, specific assemblies or individual BOM items. A star icon marks these favourites, which can be easily managed and accessed via a dedicated section in the catalogue selection.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Optimised display<\/strong><br \/>The graphical view for part replacements has been redesigned to ensure an even clearer visual distinction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy integration of circuit diagrams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the key new features is the ability to import and use circuit diagrams directly within SpareParts365. The system supports \u2018smart\u2019 PDF files from EPLAN or E3, as well as the XML format. <\/p>\n<p>This feature offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Navigation via the page tree and reference codes (equipment tree).<\/li>\n<li>The inclusion of hyperlinks from the PDF data as direct links to elements.<\/li>\n<li>A search function that covers page titles and reference codes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Please note: <\/em>The integration of circuit diagrams requires a separate licence.

Existing role definitions should be checked for these new permissions. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Offline catalogue: <\/strong>The \u2018ACCESS_CATALOG_OFFLINE_APP_DOWNLOAD\u2019 permission now explicitly controls the display of the dialogue box for downloading the CatalogViewer Windows app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Security update for environments<\/strong><br \/>To ensure data integrity, the databases in the \u2018Production\u2019, \u2018Backup\u2019 and \u2018Test\u2019 environments are now read-only. In future, changes and data imports must primarily be carried out via the \u2018Development\u2019 environment, from where the release to the production environment or the copying to other environments is managed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;m-t&#8221; css_params=&#8221;&#8221; custom_css_response=&#8221;@media(max-width:767px){.vc_custom_1773938169142{padding-top:100px!important;}}@media(max-width:575px){.vc_custom_1773938169142{padding-top:100px!important;}}&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Configuration, Import and Interfaces&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; font_family=&#8221;Noto Sans Regular&#8221; css_params=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_params=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-2spalten aufzaehlung-orange&#8221;]<strong>Import files<\/strong><br \/>The import process has been expanded to include two new file types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>drawing_mat_references: <\/strong>Enables drawings to be linked globally to material numbers, independently of individual BOM items.<\/li>\n<li><strong>roles: <\/strong>The import file for roles has been updated to support the new print permissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Catalogue configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Design settings: <\/strong>The language for input fields in the \u2018Texts and Documents\u2019 section can now be changed centrally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Virtual data fields:<\/strong> A new field, \u201cVIRTUAL \u2013 &lt;DRAWINGS&gt;\u201d, displays a preview (thumbnail) of the linked drawing in the bill of materials.
