The EnterWorks 10.5 release has the following new features and behaviors. Numbers in parentheses indicate Support and Jira tracking tickets.
Localization for the EnterWorks UI
New with version 10.5 is the ability to translate the EnterWorks New UI into another language, which can easily be configured to allow users to select their default language experience. Included in the translation possibilities are the UI and menu controls (buttons, labels, menus), data model and attribute metadata, and the error messages that appear during validation. Admins are now able to export the strings externalized for translation, convert them to a target language, and import them back into the system for a completely localized UI experience.The Classic UI is only available in the English (en-US) language.
Expanded numeric and date formats
In addition to the UI elements that can be translated, version 10.5 also introduces support for a litany of various date and currency formats to support global teams in their data enrichment efforts.Countries/Locales | Date Format | Version 10.5 Support |
---|---|---|
US/CAN | MM/DD/YYYY | |
UK | DD/MM/YYYY | |
AUS/NZ | DD/MM/YYYY | |
INDIA | DD/MM/YYYY | |
EMEA | YYYY/MM/DD | |
LATAM | DD/MM/YYYY |
Supported date format separators are: dash, period, hyphen.
Enhanced multi-language attribute support
Version 10.5 delivers numerous updates to EnterWorks in support of multilingual business operations:
- Data Model elements and metadata: Now user-defined data model object names and descriptions are multi-language.
- Import and Export capabilities have been expanded to include context sensitive processing for multi-language attributes.
- Multi-language attributes have been expanded in data handling functionalities, including record editors, link relationships, record histories, searches, filters, sorting, and snapshot tables.
- Validation rules can be created for specific language variants of a value and the validation level names can be localized.
- In a Repository View the user session's default language's variant of multi-language attributes will be displayed (if no preference is applied to the view).
- The EnterWorks API has been upgraded to make the above functionality available through REST calls. For detailed information, see the API endpoints in the REST APIs Interactive Swagger Page.
- The API also now includes a new datetime format that specifies a timezone parameter.

Changes have been made to the DAM to optimize performance and streamline the licensing and installation process.
