<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dear all,<br>
</span><br>
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">according to the feature
requests and bug reports provided by the BEXIS 2 community this
new version of BEXIS 2 contains the following changes and new
features:</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">In the Primary data view
filtering, sorting, and selecting is no available again
allowing users to download custom subsets of a dataset (i.e.
selected rows/columns).<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/25"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #25</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">There is now a dataset
owner concept implemented which integrates the metadata entry
form with the party package. If the mapping is provided (by
data manager) users are able to assign ownership to other
system users resulting in data permissions being determined
automatically following predefined profiles.<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/29"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">Issue #29</a>,<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/40"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #40</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">In order to ease the
upload and improve performance of the data ingest appending
rows to an existing tabular dataset is now available as an
alternative path to the “update” approach.<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/30"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #30</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Users are now able to
request access to a dataset with the click of a button. Owners
of the dataset will be notified by email and can make a
decision within the system. Both, parties involved can see and
manage the requests from the Dashboard.<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/31"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">Issue #31</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Datasets may have
attachments that can be of any file type. This is meant for
any additional information (e.g. images, protocols,
descriptions) that does not fit into tabular primary data nor
metadata,<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/32"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #32</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">In addition to the
regular Search there is now also a Public Search that shows
only datasets marked as public to anonymous users. The regular
Search contains a separate filter now for public datasets.<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/33"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #33</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Uploading and updating
datasets is now also possible with XLSX, CSV, TSV files
(previously XLSM and TXT only),<span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/34"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #34</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">As requested, there is
also an extended Zip download available incl. separate files
for metadata, primary data, data structure, etc. <span> </span><a
href="https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/issues/36"
style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent;">issue #36</a></span></li>
<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Data managers are now

policies) through BEXIS.<span> </span><a

style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:

<li><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">There is a first version
of a visualization module which provides graphs for data
managers and administrators (e.g. timeline of system
activities, datasets created/deleted)<span> </span><a

style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color:
