Server Side Conflict Resolution

Conflicts arise when there are multiple versions of an IP included within an IPV Hierarchy. Previously, conflicts could only be resolved in the CLI client. This release adds a conflict resolution capability to IPLM Core, and lays the groundwork for the ability to preview the resolved hierarchy in IPLM Web without building the workspace.

What's New in IPLM Web

IPLM Web 2026.6

Shopping Cart Improvements

IPLM Web 2026.6 includes a set of Shopping cart improvements that help prevent over-capacity adds and make cart management more efficient. As the cart approaches its configured limit, a warning message appears. Once the limit is reached, add actions across the product are disabled until you remove one or more items from the cart. Users can also remove multiple IPVs in a single bulk action from the Shopping cart grid.

AI Instant Dashboards and Widgets

Generate complete dashboards or individual widgets from natural-language prompts. Generated configurations are validated and repaired automatically when possible. You can refine a dashboard with follow-up prompts, edit its layout, lock or unlock it, save it as a PDF, or regenerate individual widgets without regenerating the entire dashboard. You can also refresh, reset, and cancel widget requests. Instant dashboards and widgets persist during page reloads and in-app navigation in the same browser tab, but are not saved to the IPLM Server.

Home History Widget

The Home page now includes a history widget that lets you filter recent visits by IP version, library, or query. The widget updates the displayed list in place and groups items by date.

Improved Favorites Management

Favorites now use dedicated collection objects instead of the legacy custom object model. Administrators can migrate existing favorites, and new configurations no longer require the IPLM Web configurator be run. Favorites are organized by IP version, library, and query, with a maximum of 100 items per type.

Create & Edit Property Sets

This release streamlines the process of creating and editing Property Sets for a more efficient user experience.

What's New in IPLM Web

IPLM Web 2025.7

Hierarchy tab enhancements

The IP page's Hierarchy tab now offers the following improvements to the user experience:

• Users can now scroll through all hierarchy data on one continuous page, removing the need to click through the hierarchy one page at a time. This allows users to maintain focus on the IPs they are currently interested in.
• The “Levels” drop-down now clearly indicates (in blue) when one of its filters has been applied to the set of IPs. User interaction with the hierarchy tree (or list) will remove the currently applied filter.
• The “Expand tree” and “Collapse tree” action buttons have been removed, since the same functionality is available from the “Levels” drop-down and the IP tree, respectively.

Conflict-resolved view of IPV hierarchy

Conflicts occur when multiple versions of the same IP appear in the same IPV hierarchy. The IP page’s Hierarchy tab now offers a view of the IPV hierarchy that has conflicts resolved. This new “Conflict-resolved tree” view has the following benefits:

• Offers a preview of what users will see in their workspace when they build it from the standard IPV tree, i.e., the default “Standard release tree” view on the Hierarchy tab.
• Allows users to see how their conflicts will be resolved when the workspace is built, since IPLM Server uses the same algorithm to generate the workspace.

Specify IPLM Help system login in Web configuration

Administrators can now specify the organization’s user id and password for the IPLM Help system in their Web configuration file, removing the need for users to enter login credentials when viewing Help topics.

What's New in VersIC

VersIC ADS 2026.2

Perforce Streams and Mixed Workspace Support

This release introduces full verification and QA sign-off for VersIC interoperability with Perforce Streams workspace clients, as well as robust support for mixed workspaces containing both P4 Streams and Classic P4 depot clients, including multi-P4D server environments.

All user stories under Epic VERSIC-1037 have been verified across Cadence Virtuoso Library Manager, VersIC data forms, and MergeIC integration.

Rollback Options and Checkout Behavior

When initiating a rollback from either the Manage VersIC Data form or the CellView History form, you are now presented with an updated confirmation dialog that lets you choose how to handle the checkout state.

Rollback (With Commit): Restores the cellview to the selected historical version and immediately commits the change into the DM system.

Rollback Without Commit / Remain Checked Out: Overwrites the workspace copy with the contents of the selected historical revision while retaining the active checkout state. This allows you to inspect, modify, or test the older revision locally before deciding whether to check in your changes.

When executing a rollback action on a selected library, cell, or view revision, the new confirmation dialog appears and prompts you to choose whether to commit immediately or keep the cellview checked out. The same behavior is available from the CellView History form.

Improved Multi-Library Hierarchy Support

Cellview Hierarchy now includes library origins for nested cell instances outside the top level, and Hierarchy Actions now correctly process cell hierarchy instances that reside in external libraries across multi-library CDS cell hierarchies, including mixed P4 Streams and P4 classic environments.

Improved Import+ and Checkout Visibility

VersIC / Virtuoso Manage Checkouts now includes CellViews opened from libraries referenced using import+, even when they are already checked out in Perforce and shown as checked out in the Library Manager.

More Reliable Status and Workspace Checks

Fixed false "modified" status reports and client viewmap warnings in multi-client workspaces. The release resolves an environment context race condition where asynchronous background checks could corrupt active client settings during status queries.

For additional details on updates and bug fixes, see full release notes. 

What's New in VersIC

VersIC CDS 2026.1

With this release, VersIC CDS now supports multiple P4 servers, providing improved visibility for large, complex organizations with enterprise P4 environments. Organizations with multiple P4 servers can now see all data, history, etc. across all P4 servers in one place.

This update also allows companies of any size to easily view P4 log information, such as checkins and versions, in refer mode across multiple P4 clients.

What's New in VersIC

VersIC ADS 2025.2

This release further expands on the Keysight ADS integration. Users can now Sync and Retrieve file versions from the History.

What's New in VersIC

VersIC ADS 2024.1

This release provides the initial integration between VersIC and Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS), which allows users to use VersIC within ADS. This integration delivers the unlimited scalability, rapid file access, and enterprise security of P4 (formerly Helix Core) data management to ADS users without requiring designers to learn a new data management system or methodology.
