This convenient feature just debuted and ensures that the tab updates with your current location when scrolling with the Compilation, Document or Test Suite scrollbar. This is particularly helpful when navigating deep into these views!

If users are unsure what happened to their UAF views on Cloud after the 4.9.1.0 update on 4/19, please contact Support so we can assist with the proper mapping.

  • 4.9 Enterprise is expected to be out this month! Be on the lookout around Mid-April for the formal annoucnement!

March 2024

  • With the new database view we are being frequently asked what the difference is between what 'is:top' vs. what 'is:root'. Note, 'is:top' will always have children
    whereas 'is:root' is the highest level.
  • When sending Support an issue with a project on the Cloud, please provide the URL so we can look into the project.

February 2024

  • When copying and pasting text into descriptions fields in Innoslate, be sure to paste the data into Innoslate without formatting (PC: CTRL+SHFT+V or MAC: SHFT+CMD+V) and use the tools provided in Innoslate to format it. This should ensure no issues with exporting reports later.  
  • Version 4.9 of Innoslate is loaded with exciting new features. If you're curious about what's in store, you can get a sneak peek by checking out the articles on the Help Center (https://help.specinnovations.com/). The articles cover topics like UAF, the new Computable Attribute, and the New Database View. Simply use the search bar on the Help Center website to find information on any of these features.

January 2024

  • Data Cleanup from 12/22/2023 is now done. Unless you were an Admin on a paid or active academic organization, you will need to recreate your Innoslate account and sign up again.
  • Find yourself querying the same thing in Innoslate? Note the left sidebar in Innoslate gives users the ability to save their queries for quicker reference. 

December 2023

  • Want to make sure your models and project database are in good shape? Be sure to utilize Innoslate's Intelligence View! This tool will compare your Innoslate project to 62 heuristics and provide users the option to fix the issues found in their project.
  •  Innoslate's Traceability Matrix has AI, known as the Traceability Assist under the Settings dropdown, to suggest to users what entities on the X&Y axis that it thinks should be related to each other. On the contrary, users can use the Suspect Assist, also located under the Settings dropdown, to indicate where on the matrix it thinks it should not have a relationship.

November 2023

  • Need to upload a file into Innoslate Cloud? Note, the file size limit for Cloud is 100MB.
  • Want to understand the basic schema already built into Innoslate? Export a XML of an empty project using the the Schema only option from the Manage Project Dashboard.

October 2023

  • Baseline a Diagram with Compilations View! To do this, start a new compilation and bring in the root entity of the diagram. This will bring in all the entities from the diagram and you'll be able to baseline the diagram from this view.
  • Want to trace a lot of entities to each other in one view? Utilize the Traceability Matrix to be able to do this quickly.

September 2023

  • 4.8.1.1 is now available for Enterprise and can be downloaded. Reach out to Support for the updater file.
  • When a relationship appears as locked on the left sidebar, it indicates that the relationship is not editable within this view. This is because the specific relationship is utilized in generating the current view. Should you encounter this situation, you must access the entity's entity view to modify the relationship. Once you've made the necessary changes in the Entity View and saved them, you will be directed back to the initial view you were working in.
