Analytics and Timeline
The Home page of the Digital Thread Project Dashboard presents analytics and relation timelines for the project, as shown in the figure above. The analytics show the total number of digital thread relations and the total number and distribution (as pie charts) of artifacts, containers, and repositories participating in those relations. As an example, the figure above shows the Digital Thread Project Dashboard for the Unmanned Ground Vehicle 02 (key = UGV02) project. It has 142 digital thread relations between 224 artifacts owned by 8 containers from 8 different repositories. The two relation timelines show the growth of digital threads in the specific Digital Thread Project, incremental and cumulative over time.

Relations Management
Syndeia 3.6 introduces a new Relations table that shows all the digital thread relations for a given project. This is accessible from the Explore > Relations tab of the Digital Thread Project Dashboard. Source and target artifacts are hyperlinked and can be opened in native web applications. Users can search and create new digital thread relations if they have appropriate privileges.

Baselines
With Syndeia 3.6, users can create Baselines for Digital Thread Projects. A Baseline represents the state of a Digital Thread Project and its contents at a specific point in time (timestamp). Users can create new baselines and compare baselines to review digital thread relations created, updated, and deleted between the baselines. Users can also compare a baseline with the current timestamp to learn about changes in the Digital Thread Project since the last baseline, or any given baseline. The Baseline feature is accessible from the Baselines tab of the Digital Thread Project Dashboard.

Reports
Syndeia 3.6 introduces web-based reports that provide a live status of artifacts connected in Digital Thread Projects. Users can view the latest state of connected Jira issues or Jama requirements in their Digital Thread Projects. The Jira report includes pie charts and table of issues, organized by status, type, priority, and assignee. The Jama report includes pie charts and tables of items, such as requirements, organized by status and priority. This capability is accessible from the Reports tab of the Digital Thread Project Dashboard. Digital Thread Project reports can provide a quick overview of the project completion status and bottlenecks.

User Privileges
Syndeia 3.6 brings Privilege management to Digital Thread Projects. Syndeia admins can add, modify, or remove user privileges on Digital Thread Projects. Syndeia users can only view and work with Digital Thread Projects that are accessible to them. An extensive set of Global and Digital Thread Project permissions are available to assign to users based on their digital engineering needs. Bulk assignment of user privileges on a Digital Thread Project, and vice versa, are available for efficient management of users and projects. User privileges for a Digital Thread Project can be viewed and managed by admins from the Settings tab of the Digital Thread Project Dashboard, as shown in the figure below..

Syndeia Web Dashboard - Other Features & Improvements
...
Graph visualization controls have been added in a floating toolbar (LHS in the figure below) enabling users to easily pan, zoom, lock, refresh, and navigate large graphs. Keyboard and mouse controls continue to work as before.
Bird’s eye view has been added to easily pan across sub-graphs of a large graph. This is great for design review sessions when running a playlist of queries for Digital Thread Projects.
Rectangular node shapes are now the default based on popular demand from our users.
Graph responsiveness has been improved.
Right click on nodes and open in native web application (Jira, Jama, Teamcenter, Windchill, etc.) continues to work as before.

User Management
Syndeia 3.6 brings improvements to User management for local users and external users from LDAP and SSO/SAML2 identity providers. Syndeia admins can manage Global and Digital Thread Project privileges from the User Details page, as shown below. Bulk assignment of privileges, including adding, removing, or modify user privileges on multiple Digital Thread Projects makes it easier for Syndeia admins to manage user privileges. In addition to detailed documentation on Global and Digital Thread Project privileges, we are also providing a General Recommendation guide for Syndeia admins with guidance on privilege management for most Syndeia end-users.

New Integrations
GENESYS (Vitech / Zuken)
Syndeia 3.6 brings integration to GENESYS (Vitech/Zuken) MBSE tool. Users can add and navigate GENESYS repositories directly from the Syndeia Web Dashboard or local clients. System component and requirement structure and relations can be navigated from the Tree View and Graph View as shown in the figures below. Users can create digital thread relations between GENESYS artifacts and artifacts in any integrated repository, such as Jira, Teamcenter, Windchill, Jama, TestRail, and others.
...
DS-E3 (Zuken)
DS-E3 is Zuken’s next-generation data management system for electrical design data. Syndeia 3.6 introduces an integration to Zuken DS-E3. Users can add and navigate DS-E3 repositories, view projects, electrical devices and components, layout sheets, and physical parts in the Syndeia Web Dashboard, as shown below. Users can create digital thread relations between DS-E3 artifacts and artifacts in any integrated repository, such as Jira, SysML, Teamcenter, Windchill, Jama, TestRail, and others.

DS-CR (Zuken)
Zuken DS-CR is a leading ECAD platform for PCB design and data management. Syndeia 3.6 introduces an integration to Zuken DS-CR. Users can add and navigate DS-CR repositories, view projects, design boxes, parts, circuits, boards, and other design items in the Syndeia Web Dashboard, as shown below. Users can create digital thread relations between DS-CR artifacts and artifacts in any integrated repository, such as Jira, SysML, Teamcenter, Windchill, Jama, TestRail, and others.

Improvements to Existing Integrations
...
Teamcenter has been one of the earliest integrations available with Syndeia. Starting with Syndeia 3.6, the Teamcenter integration is live on Syndeia Cloud. Users can connect to multiple Teamcenter repositories from the Web Dashboard, browse Teamcenter content, such as parts, requirements, requirement specifications, and other items, view item revisions and multi-level BOM structures (Precise and Imprecise), and cross-cutting trace links between Teamcenter items. This capability is available in both the Tree View and the Graph View as shown below. Model transformation capabilities between SysML and Teamcenter is already available via Syndeia clients. Users can also build digital thread relations with Teamcenter artifacts on the Web Dashboard and connect them to artifacts in any repository. Digital Thread Explorer will show both intra-model (within) and inter-model (across) relations from/to Teamcenter artifacts, as shown in the Graph View below.
Aras Innovator
Authentication Improvements
...
Syndeia 3.6 enables Aras Innovator users to add repositories that are configured with a non-default web aliases. The general format for Aras Innovator server URLs is: https://{server-host}/{web alias}. Syndeia 3.5 uses the default web-alias (InnovatorServer). With Syndeia 3.6, users can provide the full Aras Innovator server URL with a custom web alias, e.g. https://myInnovator.myOrg.com/custom_web_alias. If a web alias is not provided, Syndeia will use the default web alias.
Windchill - Support for OAuth2
Syndeia 3.6 adds support for OAuth2 authentication with Windchill repositories using Ping Federate as the identity provider (IdP). When Ping Federate is configured as a SSO/SAML2 IdP with Windchill, admins can also configure Windchill to use OAuth2 with Ping Federate for a pure API-based authentication flow. Syndeia 3.6 users will able to connect to Windchill via OAuth2 authentication protocol. Users can initiate OAuth2 connection to Windchill in the Syndeia Web Dashboard. Syndeia will redirect them to the Ping Federate IdP for sign-in, and once approved, users will be able to browse Windchill repositories in the Web Dashboard, both in the Tree View and Graph View, as shown in the figure below.
