Managing users across multiple repositories has often required duplicate effort. In earlier versions, administrators had to recreate the same user groups, permissions, and access settings in each repository, a process that was both time-consuming and prone to errors.

With the new centralized User and Group Management, administrators can now set up and control access from a single location at the application level. This streamlined approach reduces overhead, simplifies onboarding, and ensures that policies remain consistent across repositories.

Key Benefits:

• Create user groups once and apply them across multiple repositories.
• Assign repository access and manage feature-level permissions centrally.
• Maintain consistent user roles while reducing the risk of misconfiguration.

In earlier versions, accessing audit logs in Prolaborate often required backend access or manual file retrieval. This slowed investigations, made compliance checks more difficult, and limited visibility for administrators.

With Prolaborate 5.6, a built-in audit log viewer is now available directly in the user interface. Administrators can track user activity and system events without leaving the application, making it faster and easier to monitor security and compliance.

Key Benefits:

• Instantly see who performed which action and when, directly in the UI.
• Detect unauthorized access, unusual behavior, or configuration changes.
• Keep logs accessible for ISO, GDPR, HIPAA, and other compliance needs.
• Export logs as Excel files for review, reporting, or long-term archiving.

Locating specific artifacts in Prolaborate could be time-consuming, especially when working across large models. Searches often required multiple steps to refine results, slowing down everyday work.

Finding specific artifacts in Prolaborate could previously take multiple steps, especially when working with large models.

With Prolaborate 5.6, the search function has been redesigned to deliver results more quickly and accurately. The refreshed interface makes easier to apply filters, and the optimized engine ensures faster responses, even when searching across complex models.

Key Benefits:

• Search by attributes, operations, and custom properties in a refined interface.
• Apply multiple conditions to narrow results with higher accuracy.
• Limit searches to specific packages for focused, relevant outcomes.

Previously, downloading large reports or datasets in Prolaborate meant keeping the download window open until the file was ready, forcing users to wait and sometimes even risking application crashes.

With Prolaborate 5.6, downloads are now processed in the background. This means you can continue working on other tasks while the system manages the file generation. Once the report is ready, you’ll receive a notification and can download it instantly.

Key Benefits:

• Large Excel reports are generated in the backend, freeing you to continue your work without interruption.
• Automatic notifications keep you informed when your file is ready.

In earlier versions, Prolaborate supported only limited depth when setting up nested charts. For teams dealing with large or complex models, this restricted the ability to drill down into deeper insights.

With Prolaborate 5.6, you can now configure Nested Pie and Heatmap charts with up to 7 hierarchical levels. This added depth makes it easier to explore complex structures, understand relationships, and uncover richer insights.

Key Benefits:

• Visualize complex model structures in greater detail for stronger analysis.
• Quickly identify relationships and dependencies between artifacts.
• Gain layered insights that support better decision-making.
