Helix IPLM Core
What's New in IPLM Core?
IPLM Core 2023.1 / IPLM Core 3.5
IPLM Core 2023.1 includes two updates to enhance traceability and improve workspace usability:
Retained Alias
The Retained Alias update makes alias and workspace management more intuitive and user-friendly. With this update, the system will make more intelligent choices regarding user intent around aliases.
For example, if a user has applied an alias to the top level IP, the workspace will retain or "remember" the alias, even if the user later removes it or moves the alias to a different version of the top level IP. Unique aliases are now supported as well.
Verbose Mode
Verbose Mode expands on the visibility of what is affected when a user makes an update to an IP. Without Verbose Mode, users are only able to see the impact of IP updates on Resources. With Verbose Mode, users can see the impact of IP updates on both Resources and all related files.
Verbose Mode can also be combined with the Dry Run flag to see what Resource and file level changes would result from the update, prior to actually performing the update. This can keep users from making updates that might have unintended or undesirable consequences.

View Permissions
Keep your IP more secure by limiting access levels. You can now give certain users access to IP metadata while preventing them from using the IP in development work in a workspace. This is helpful for users who are not yet licensed to use the IP, or who only need to see metadata for research and auditing and who do not need to be granted further read access.
Planning Module Improvements
We are revamping the Planning Module based on your feedback. And now, you can configure the Planning Module through the API and IPLM Web – this means you can build a hierarchical BoM and version the Planning BoM through both the API and IPLM Web.
Other improvements here give the ability to browse for an IP line name and add notes to planned IPs.
Edit IP Library
Keep track of your IP for better traceability and organization. You can now modify the library that an IP is associated with. For example, if you place your IP in a library and then realize another library is more appropriate, an admin can now modify the IP library – all without creating a new release.
Lineage Tracking Improvements
This feature improves traceability of your IP through branches. Instead of new IP branches only being traced through an IP copy, you can now edit the source field of a new IP directly to point to the original IP it was branched from. This expands the use models supported by IP lineage tracking, and will save teams time as they can better understand what IP they have and where it came from. Additionally, when viewing an IPV, teams can more easily see all the IP lines derived from that IPV.

What's New in Helix IPLM Web?
Helix IPLM Web 2024.1
Helix IPLM Web 2024.1 includes the following key features and enhancements. For a list of all new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, review the release notes.
UX/UI Enhancements
This year, we are continuing to expand upon the user experience improvements we brought to Helix IPLM Web in 2023. This release consolidates IP Details on collapsible cards for better visibility of IPV details and improved navigation, ease of use, and efficiency.
This release also improves IPV Bill of Materials (BoM) navigation by consolidating the Resources and Contents pages into a single page, with Resources (now called “Hierarchy”) and Contents visible on tabs within the page.
Flat Hierarchy View
The Hierarchy page (previously called "Resources") can now be “flattened” from a hierarchical tree view to a single-level list to make it easier to view and parse large lists of resources. The flat view provides a more flexible visualization for sorting, filtering, and understanding resource information.

Graphical Widget Editor
You can now create and edit graphical widgets to display IP metadata in a dashboard using a new visual editor. This new visual editor eliminates the need to use the command line interface, making it possible for non-technical users to easily create, edit, and analyze IPLM Web widgets that reflect the dynamically changing nature of IPs throughout the design cycle. The Graphical Widget Editor allows you to format text styles, colors, and alignment and insert links, code snippets, and images.
New Look and Feel
We’re modernizing the look and feel of the IPLM Web GUI (graphical user interface) for an enhanced user experience, based on your feedback. With this release, you’ll see a fresh new look on the Login page, Homepage, and IP catalog page. We’ve also updated the UX for ease of use and consistency across the solution, including improved navigation from the Homepage.
