Developments in New UI for STEP

Summary

As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver a simplified user experience in our interfaces, Stibo Systems continues to enhance and extend the functionality of our UIs by adding new capabilities to Stibo Systems' new UI for STEP (also referred to as Instrument)—expanding efficiency and applicability.

The 2024.4 update introduces several changes to the new UI, aimed at improving user experience and efficiency, including the optimization of workflows to provide quicker on-screen updates when submitting tasks, ensuring a smoother and more responsive user experience.

Additionally, now, when selecting a reference target, the item picker only presents relevant options. More information about this enhancement follows.

Selecting a reference target

The item picker only presents relevant options when selecting a reference target. Previously, when selecting an item using the item picker, all of the root nodes were displayed which resulted in an overwhelming number of options to select from. Now, the options that are presented to a user are narrowed down to those based on the reference type. This solution allows users to be presented with a smaller, more relevant, selection of items from which to select a reference target.
