===== eBiss 2 vs eBiss3  =====
eBiss 3 contains **many** new features compared to its predecessor. These make it much easier to use eBiss, many features you have not seen before in eBiss 2. See the following overview.


===== Manage your users with groups =====

In eBiss 3 you can assign user rights on two levels:

With ** user groups **, you can directly integrate newly created users into a group with self-defined or predefined rights. Thus, manually assigning rights to each new user is no longer required. User groups already offer predefined user rights for different tasks. In addition, you can also create user-defined user groups if the suggested groups do not suit you or match your wishes.

Through ** user rights **, additional permissions can be given to a user for the execution of certain actions. If a user already has a specific right through his group, the manually filed right dominates.


===== Easier editing of messages =====

Dealing with messages has become more comfortable in eBiss 3. On the one hand, messages are now previewed, and extended mechanisms for debugging messages are available.
\\
A message can now be sent, e.g. Can be directly analyzed to determine the type of the message, determine communication partners, or divide the message content into documents without first having to create a corresponding job. To do this, you only need to create the appropriate infrastructure in the type repository (Recognizer, Analyzer, Type Definition and Reader) and, with the message selected, select the menu item ► Debug message ► Analyze message.
\\ \\
An analyzed message can then be used to debug a mapping or report. To do this, select the corresponding action under the menu item ► Debug message. As a result, all those mappings or reports that use the type of the selected message as the source type will appear.

===== Mappings =====

==== Gettype variables ====

Variables can contain not only string strings, but also arbitrary types, among others. Also structures. E.g. Boolean values or the result of a GroupByEx, see: [[en:transformation:mappings:funktionen:allgemein:variablen|]].
==== Mapping-Editor ====

=== No Separation between editor and debugger  ====


The editors in eBiss 2 allow the configuration of the most complex objects of an installation and have been further improved in eBiss 3. \\ \\
Most striking: There is no separation between Mapping Editor and Debugger. If you have now loaded a message into a mapping, you can directly recognize the ** effects of changes to the mapping **. \\ \\ The mapping editor has almost remained the same. What is new is that the mapping of fields to each other can now also take place from the target to the source side ("from right to left"). The menu point for applying the mapping rules to a message is located under the ► Debugging ► Apply Mapping menu item.
=== Display and edit variables ====

The source and target frame varial tables as well as the variables set in the mapping are displayed. The source frame variables can be changed in the mapping debugger.

===== Keep the overview in the editor with the new search ===== 

The [[en:howtos:schnellsuche| search function]] in eBiss 3 makes it easy for you to do your daily tasks in many places. Among other things, there is a [[en:howtos:schnellsuche]] in the job and mapping editors. You can search for textual content by means of ** Ctrl + F **, count the occurrences, and directly replace the found results in the Mapping Editor.

This allows you to keep track of complex jobs and mappings.


===== Jump to what is important =====

In eBiss 3, you can jump directly from many points into other areas of the application via links. For example, you can directly access your system and trading partners within your message verview and display them as required. Of course, this also works with other areas such as message trays or delegated jobs.
This behavior runs through the entire application, and the links will address you at many other points.

===== Bulk editing of multiple elements =====
**Bulk editing is possible in every grid view in eBiss**, even in in the **[[en:hauptmenue:wartung#system_wide_search|System wide Search]]**!
If you click the Edit button after selecting more than one record, you will see an input mask with the editable properties. Similar values appear here as in the normal detail view, different values are annotated as such.


===== Shadowcopy Plugins =====

With the new Shadowcopy feature, it is possible to copy new DLL's to the plugin directory without having to restart the eBiss service or the client. You can now simply update the Shadowcopy plugins on the client via the menu item ► Extended actions, in order to be able to use the new plugins immediately.


===== New database support =====

In addition to MSSQL Server, MySQL and SQLite, eBiss 3 also supports ** PostgreSQL **.


===== Node range uniqueness with GLN or location =====

Under ► Settings ► System Settings, you can now select whether the GLN of a location within the node should be unique or not. You can also decide whether the participant number of a partner should be unique within a node.
