Introduction to the Unqork Development Life Cycle Toolkit

Module Revisions Dashboard Tool

The Module Revisions Dashboard tool helps to keep track of all your module changes. You'll find many similarities between the Module History and Module Revisions Dashboard tool. Both show revision history, which includes new or deleted components.

One of the most powerful features of the Module Revisions Dashboard tool is the ability to compare any two modules side-by-side. You can also view all previous component edit and setting changes, star priorities, and create notes.

Module History is great if you want a big-picture view of a single module's history. The Module Revisions Dashboard tool is where you to go for detailed analysis.

Open the Unqork Development Life Cycle Toolkit or click the Unqork Life Cycle Toolkit icon in your toolbar to open this tool. To use the Module Revisions tool, click Use This Tool.

Transform Revisions Dashboard Tool

As you work in Unqork, you might need to convert data from one format or structure to another. You can use transforms to change one data type into another. On the surface, a transform is like a set of how-to instructions you give your module to reformat your data. You'll create the transform to either input or output data to or from your Unqork applications.

You'll use the Transform Revisions Dashboard tool to view and manage transforms. It lets you filter for a specific transform and displays its information. The tool also lets you restore a transform to a previous version. You can also use the tool to test your transform with specific data or your transform's module submissions.

Or, it could be the Canvas Label Text of a Decisions component. More specifically, the tool lets you search JSON JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is an open standard file and data interchange format. Unqork uses JSON for submission (record) data. values.

Let's say you need to update a value shared by multiple applications and modules. You can use the tool to request a list of all module components where that value exists. Then, you'll receive a report displaying components with your searched value. You can use this report as a checklist to make updates to your values, so you're not spending time searching through all your modules for that value.
