What's new in Relatics
Relatics 6.7 contains powerful new features and improvements focused on one key theme: quick and easy access to the information you need. Enhanced filters and new search functionalities make finding relevant information faster and more intuitive than ever.
Explore all the benefits of this release below!
Find in table
A new search functionality has been added to overview tables, allowing you to search across all displayed columns.
Click the binocular icon in the ribbon to activate Find in table, or use the shortcut Ctrl + F (Windows) / Command + F (Mac). Matching cells will be highlighted, and you can navigate through the search results using the Previous/Next result button or by pressing Enter / Shift + Enter.
The Find in table feature can also be used when a table is in Compare or Back in time mode.
Search
To help you quickly find elements, even when you only have a rough idea of what you’re looking for, we added an advanced search bar to Relatics. This new feature searches across the entire workspace.
The search results appear in a dropdown list, and you can refine them further using the dynamic filter options in the sidebar. This allows you to filter by specific element types, such as Requirements, and by specific property values or relations —helping you quickly find the exact information you need.
To view all search results, you can click on Press enter or directly use your Enter key. This opens the search results page, where you can see all matching entries and access the details of any element directly.
Filtering tables on specific relations
We improved table filtering on specific relations to make it more intuitive. The quick filter is still accessible by hovering over the display name but now features a new icon: 
Previously, filtering the main property of an element (Display name) was limited to Contains, Is empty, or Is not empty. With this update, you can now select specific elements within these columns to filter the table based on these relations.
This new filtering option is available for both Standard and Collection relations.
Subset of elements
You can now easily display a subset of elements in overview tables using the Subset of elements feature (
) in the ribbon. This is especially useful when you want to focus on specific elements that don’t share common property values or relations on which you could filter, allowing you to temporarily hide other elements.
You can display a subset either by copying and pasting selected elements in the popup, or by typing to find specific elements. Additionally, you can copy and paste a list of elements from sources like Excel. Relatics will preserve the sequence of the pasted data when displaying the subset.
The Subset of elements feature is useful when you need to analyze specific elements that cannot be filtered together. For example, if you’re asked to review Requirements that lack common property values or relations, or if a subcontractor provides a list of actions and later requests an update on their status.
This feature is also invaluable for bulk updates, for example in case where a list of updated requirements is received from the client. Simply paste data from the external source to display this subset, then paste or edit the updated fields.
Relatics instantly validates any pasted data:
- Green fields indicate successfully validated elements.
- Red fields highlight elements that don’t (yet) exist in Relatics.
You can also combine the Subset of elements feature with Compare and Back in time for deeper insights.
Note: To use Subset of elements, all other filters must first be cleared from the table.
Filter in reports
We’ve enhanced the filtering options in reports, allowing for more advanced and flexible filtering.
For example, you can now display all objects with approved requirements per object, including those objects that don’t (yet) have approved requirements. Similarly, you can list all persons while showing only the high-priority actions they are responsible for.
The technical changes to filtering may require updates to your Report script, as filters could now produce different results. To manage this transition, all existing reports will be marked as version 1. In the report details, an icon will alert users that the report needs updating to ensure proper functionality. Any newly created reports will automatically be marked as version 2. Note that support for the report syntax of version 1 reports will end on 2025-07-01.
Enhanced report syntax
New report syntax is available to prevent displaying descriptive text for not existing elements or empty properties.
- To hide empty properties or inserters, use Skip if empty with {?} and {.?}.
- To hide types or iterators, use Skip if not exists with [?] and [.?].
For example, in a reporting containing all Risks along with their Score, you might not want to display the text “Score” when no value is present.
An example report script with its output:
Relatics element URLs for interfaces
It is now possible to include URLs linking to the detail page of an element in external applications. Both the dedicated interfaces with SharePoint, Microsoft Graph and ArGIS, as well as the generic interface, can write a Relatics reference URL.
To enable this, Relatics must have write permissions in the source and a property with a specific name. Once configured, the external application will store and display the Relatics URL of an element’s detail page, allowing users to quickly navigate to the element within Relatics.
What's more
- You can now use both Auto archive and Enable positioning for the same type element.
- Custom positioning for recursive elements is now supported in reports.
- We’ve added several new shortcuts! To view the full list, press Shift + /.
