An updated Gallery
We’ve improved the presentation of the Gallery and added some new content under Learning LINQ. The new sketches work with the new video content, so you can watch the videos and follow along using the sketches provided.
A fresh new look
We’ve updated the look of the Explorer View. It still provides the same level of capability, but now looks the part too! We hope you like the brighter look and feel.
Many Actions to One Information Asset
We’ve extended the LINQ language to allow you to connect many actions to one information asset. When the action that is being undertaken is the same, but is performed by different people at different times, creating the same information, this relationship helps to show shared actions through your business. We’ve described more scenarios here. There […]
Many People to One Action
We’ve extended the LINQ language to allow you to connect many people to one action. When the action is a meeting which is attended by many different people, it is valuable to be able to describe the people involved accurately and fully determine the cost of holding that meeting. We’ve described more scenarios for you […]
Custom Node Properties
Against any node type, you can now create your own properties to document more knowledge about your information flow. These can either be text or numeric and can be associated with any of the node types. You might want to record Risk against Information, or Team against People. Now you can. Custom Properties travel with […]
Multi-node Property Editing
When you select several nodes in your sketch, either on the canvas, or via the Find Panel, you will be able to update properties for those selected nodes in one go. Even if you select nodes of different types, common properties across your selection can be edited at once. This is really useful for correcting spellings, […]
Enter any action time & duration
We’ve removed the 24 hour validation on the Action Calculator. You can now take a more transactional approach to describing the actions that take place in your business. Perhaps you know that your team performs 5000 transactions per day. Previously you would have had to reconcile that down to what one person in the team […]
Copy & Paste across Sketches
It’s now super fast to make use of content you’ve already captured. You can select your existing content from one Sketch and paste that into an existing sketch you own, have had shared with you (as an editor) or create the start of a new sketch using that content. All your valuable information, including custom properties […]
Supercharged URLs
We’ve updated our URL property so you can now connect to any type of content that you already have in your business from the LINQ nodes. You may want to record a web address using a URL, a document stored in your Document Management System using an Intranet link or to a file on your own […]
Record your conversations
We’ve created a new Information Node subtype for Verbal Information. You can use this to show that information doesn’t make it into a system but forms part of your information flow. This node helps to highlight risk and bottlenecks. Learn more here
