We're advancing PDX functionality in this update through enhanced channel operations, new feature additions, and targeted error corrections. The release also previews future developments and strengthens the platform's underlying architecture for better performance and dependability.
This update includes new features, error corrections, planned channel updates, and future update preview.
New Features
The new functionality is described below:
Display Names for Channel Accounts
Users can now provide display names for their channel accounts. The display name will be shown instead of the account identifier when a user is working in the channel.
Below is a screenshot of the channel with the new display name applied.
While identifiers can not be changed after the account creation process, the display name can be updated as needed.
Filtering by Global Attributes Now Available
Attributes can now be filtered by their level, making it easy to focus directly on global attributes when a user is working at the global or lower level. This helps users quickly identify missing global values, avoids confusion with market‑specific attributes that already have values, and simplifies validation across multiple markets and languages.
Assets Unavailable During Lockdown
Assets previously made available to downstream recipients through PDX-hosted links will now be unavailable when the client lockdown mode is enabled. External parties attempting to access the assets will be presented with the following message:
Error Corrections
The error correction is described below:
| Description |
|---|

An issue causing an image quality reduction of 20% in specific submission scenarios has been fixed. |
