Thus, in this version the focus has been on improving the user experience when editing objects, reducing the number of clicks needed to make changes, as well as the consumption of more detailed information without the need to move between different screens of the application.

Another new feature incorporated into Anjana Data v4.1 is a new component for the ‘Object Search Bar’, which is located at the top of the user interface in all views of the application and aims to provide more relevant information about the desired objects. In addition, the use of this component is extended to other parts of the application where it is necessary to search for metamodel objects (e.g. to incorporate Datasets into DSAs).

On the other hand, in relation to the graphical representation of the lineage of the data, In this version 4.1, a series of additional capabilities have been included in the advanced 3D graphics library, thereby improving the user experience when working with this type of graph-oriented visualisation.

Regarding audit actions, a complete review of all automatically generated audit messages related to the auditable actions has been performed, resolving some problems detected in relation to the information displayed on the screen. In addition, the Administration and Configuration Portal has improved the capabilities of the ‘Workflows Design Tool’, giving users the ability to include more actions in an easier and faster way following the BPMN2.0 standard.

Finally, some technical improvements have been developed in several of the back-end modules of the architecture, which results in better performance of the entire solution while making some of these modules easier to implement and configure.
