Ellie 5.0

This is a big release for us, and it contains all kinds of fixes and quality-of-life changes in the UI as well as lots of rewriting under the hood. The changes are listed per feature below.

  • Conceptual Modeling Canvas

    • Edit/View state: separate Edit/View states have been removed. There is now only one state; if you have edit access, you can edit!

    • Search/create: choosing entities from search or creating new entities now immediately adds them to the canvas instead of the sidebar list. The sidebar list has been removed entirely.

    • Deleting entities from the canvas: deleting entities from the canvas now removes them completely from the model. Previously, this would simply remove them from the canvas and add them to the sidebar list, which no longer exists. If the entity belongs to no other models, the user is prompted if they’d want to completely delete the entity from the Glossary as well.

    • Sidebar information: model information, entity types, and relationship types are all now listed on the sidebar. The model name and description can also be directly edited from here. Previously, the sidebar information would change depending on the Edit/View state, which no longer exists.

    • Model history: The history of changes in the model is displayed in a more compact form in the sidebar.

    • Conceptual models can now be directly exported from the canvas with the Export button (similarly to Logical models). PDF exports are also directly available from here. Previously, exporting conceptual models as files was done via the Reports functionality, which has now been completely removed.

    • Zooming in and out now works with mouse scroll also on the conceptual modeling canvas (previously on logical models only).

    • Area selection is now available on the conceptual modeling canvas with shift-click & drag (previously on logical models only).

    • All relationship notation styles (crow’s feet with or without the maximum cardinality, plus the arrows) are now available to select from the same menu when editing a relationship’s end. Previously, there was a separate user-specific setting to display different styles.

    • Added “Fit to view” option to toolbar (previously on logical models only).

    • “Draw as”/”View as” options removed from the toolbar.

    • Updated the right-click context menu of an entity: e.g. the on-canvas “Edit” menu has been rewritten.

  • Logical Modeling Canvas

    • Recursive relationships (a relationship from an entity back to itself) can now be created on Logical Models as well (previously on conceptual models only).

    • Relationship line ends can now be moved freely along the entity’s edge (previously worked only on conceptual models).

    • The overall behavior of the entities, relationships, and relationship elbows on the logical modeling canvas has been tuned and made more consistent with the conceptual modeling canvas (snapping, resizing, etc.)

    • PDF exports are now also available for logical models from the export button.

  • Glossary List

    • The selections for showing more info about the entities have been simplified. “Show attributes” and “Show models” are now toggles on the side, affecting what you see on the entity cards in the List.

    • Import/Export functionalities are now available directly from the Glossary List (previously this was an admin-only feature).

  • Export/Import Glossary via Excel files

    • The entire Export/Import Glossary functionality has been rewritten from scratch. This used to be an admin-only feature, but now it’s been made available to all write-access users. The UI and the workflow have been rebuilt so that errors are checked more thoroughly and communicated to the user more clearly. See the update guide here.

  • Single entity view

    • The “Relationships” tab now shows all relationships the entity has with other entities - including different kinds of relationships with the same target entity, where either the cardinality or the relationship description is unique.

    • The “Relationships” tab now also shows all description texts from every relationship - meaning that if there are multiple descriptions attached to different elbows along the relationships line, they are all listed.

    • Loading speeds in this view have been greatly improved.

  • Sandbox

    • The old Sandbox feature has been removed. It was not compatible with the new technological solutions in use for the new Conceptual Modeling canvas, and we recognized it was also lacking many features such as “publishing” models from the Sandbox to “real” Ellie, and being able to draft also logical models. Overall, the Sandbox feature had very few users.

    • We will be releasing completely new “drafts” functionality later!

    • If you had something super important in your old sandbox, please contact support@ellie.ai and we’ll get it back to you - no worries!

  • Reports

    • You can now export conceptual & logical models directly from the canvases. The exact same CSV files for entities, relationships, and attributes, as well as PDF versions of the diagrams, are directly available for each model there. Thus, the old Reports functionality has been removed. This makes the manual export a lot more straightforward!

Ellie 4.7

New features

  • You can now convert conceptual models to logical models!

    • Added a “Convert” button in the toolbar on the Conceptual Modeling Canvas

    • This generates a new logical model, with all the entities, relationships, and entity attributes copied to the model

    • The logical model diagram itself is automatically drawn (you can edit this to your liking afterwards, of course)

    • All logical entities in the new model are automatically mapped to their conceptual counterparts

  • Added “updated at” timestamp for conceptual entities in the JSON exports that you get via the Glossary & Model Export API endpoints. This will update every time the entity’s metadata is changed.

    • Note that for currently existing entities, this is by default set equal to “created at”. It will update properly the next time an edit is made.

    • An “update” in this case means the following: the entity name is changed, the description or any other metadata field is updated, or any attributes of the entity or their metadata are updated.

Ellie 4.6.1

Bugfixes

  • Glossary API: fixed an issue with update calls to attribute metadata, where the attribute metadata information was in some situations deleted instead of updated.

Improvements

  • More reliable auto-drawing functionality when importing logical models via the new API endpoint.

Ellie 4.6

New features

  • New Model Import API endpoint!

    • Now you can import logical models into Ellie via the POST /models endpoint!

    • Simply format your tables & columns into our JSON structure and feed that into the endpoint - a new logical model is automatically generated for you.

    • Currently only supports logical models - conceptual model import coming later!

    • See API details here: https://ellie.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ELLIE/pages/783745025/API

Improvements

  • Added a notification text for the upcoming removal of the Reports functionality, with a link to the documentation explaining how model export from the UI will work in the future.
