Highlight Features

Labels

Previously, ConfigSeeder® supported the context field as a simple way to classify configurations with a free text field. This could be used, for example, to use values only for a specific cluster.
With the introduction of labels, a new and very powerful instrument is available for assigning and classifying values with different labels.

Assign custom labels to a value

It is also now possible to control permissions using labels. For example, certain values can only be changed by a certain group of people.

Labels can also be grouped by using two colons. This not only helps readability but also enables values not to be entered twice.

Hide non-editable or non-readable values

An important principle in ConfigSeeder® is that it must be visible which values have changed without revealing the actual content. Previously, all values were always displayed, even if the user could not see the current value. The filters now offer the option of displaying only the readable or editable values and hiding the others.

DB Connector (preview)

A new connector is born: ConfigSeeder® DB Connector. It allows any configuration value to be synchronized to a database table or to trigger a stored procedure. This feature is available as a preview and can be licensed for free for one year.
