v3.7.0 (December 13, 2017)
BUGFIX: Fixes an issue for DSDs with multiple lookup drop down options for user entries which caused the selected option to clear on subsequent tests of a DSD.
CHANGE: The “Join” option in the Data Group management window is now named “Link” to better describe how two Data Groups can be linked together. There is no change to any functionality.
CHANGE: The “Access Control” section in the Data Group management window is now named “Filtering” and contains Access Control settings in addition to two new options – “Filter Function” and “Distinct Function”. These provide the ability for a user to enter a function which will be evaluated on every row of the resulting dataset. For the filter function, any rows which do not match the requirement of the function (which must evaluate to true or false) will be removed,and in the distinct function, the function will be evaluated and only the first distinct row that matches the function will be returned. Please refer to the function reference pages on the Fibonacci Help Site for further information.
