Some of the highlights are:

  • SMTP support – Cradle alerts on both Windows and Linux can be sent with a new  SMTP client.
  • Email Alert Templates – More comprehensive and tailor-able SMTP emails for alerts produced by Cradle.
  • Lifecycle Workflows – An extension to the Configuration Management System. This allows items to advance through a number of user defined stages.
  • Attribute Sets – Allows users to define a ‘unique’ identity based on more than one item attribute
  • Web Access Views – Now even closer to those you are familiar with in WorkBench
  • Forms – Collapsible panels, linked item filtering, an run a command button are all new here.
  • Views – Additional commands, linked item filtering get you the actions and items you need more easily.
  • Queries – More fields now support Regex formats for more flexibility
  • Hierarchy Diagrams – More colouring options to highlight the parts of the data you want to draw attention to.

It is available from our website here:  https://www.threesl.com/downloads/software.php

You need a new Security Code for Cradle-7.4, other Security Codes cannot be used. There is a database conversion from 7.3 to 7.4. The converter will run automatically if you install Cradle-7.4 over the top of, in the same directory as, the earlier version of Cradle from which you are upgrading.

You must upgrade all Cradle installations to 7.4. Cradle-7.3 clients cannot connect to a Cradle-7.4 server, and a Cradle-7.4 server cannot serve Cradle-7.3 clients.

We hope that you will welcome the new capabilities in Cradle-7.4!
