What's new in Visual Paradigm Professional Edition 17.1 Build 20230520

May 22, 2023
  • Visual Paradigm Server Improvements:
  • We are thrilled to introduce significant enhancements to VP Server, our collaborative platform designed to streamline teamwork and enhance productivity.
  • Teamwork Password:
  • Improved security: Define password rules for team members:
  • Password Complexity Rules empowers you to define the criteria for setting secure and robust passwords for team members. With this feature, you can customize the password requirements to suit your specific needs, ensuring stronger protection for the accounts and sensitive information. Here are some rules you can apply:
  • Enforce the inclusion of at least one character from each of the following categories: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numerical digits, and non-alphanumeric characters.
  • Minimum length
  • Specify certain characters or strings that passwords should not start with
  • Establish a time limit for passwords
  • Manage the upgrading of plug-in:
  • You can manage your plugins within your VP Server repository, enabling users to conveniently download them from the server. This centralized approach offers improved management of plugin deployment. In the latest version, we have enhanced this feature by enabling you to upload newer versions of plugins. Users will be promptly notified about the availability of these updates, allowing them to effortlessly update their plugins without any hassle.
  • Enhanced Enterprise Model Finder:
  • Teamwork Enhancements:
  • Centralized configuration:
  • Ensure that your team shares a consistent set of custom Visual Paradigm configurations (e.g., VM options, user-specific options, etc.) by storing the configuration settings in the VP Server. Team members can easily apply the configuration file(s) from the server, ensuring uniformity and alignment across the team's working environment.
  • Showcase your projects online: Hosting your Project Publisher outcome on VP Server:
  • Project Publisher enables you to publish your project as a Web-based project browser. With Version 17.1, sharing this project browser becomes even simpler, as you can now host the published content directly in your VP Server repository. This allows you to conveniently share the URL of the published outcome with others, granting them access to view your project. To ensure that only the intended audience can access the content, you can specify three levels of access rights: "Project Members Only," "All Members + Viewers," or "Everyone."
  • ETL Table enhancements:
  • The ETL Table serves as a powerful tool for displaying project data and selected properties in a tabular format, providing users with a comprehensive overview of their project information. With the new enhancements, we have further expanded the capabilities of ETL Table to offer a more flexible experience.
  • Supported display the owning project of elements in ETL table:
  • ETL Table is a convenient tool that enables you to display specific project data and selected properties in a tabular format. In Version 17.1, we have enhanced ETL Table by introducing the ability to display the owning project of project elements. This enhancement proves particularly useful when you need to create a table that lists elements from multiple project sources, and the source attribution holds significance for your analysis or organization.
  • Plugins management:
  • Supported filtering elements in ETL table according to its containing project:
  • In addition to displaying the project source, we have further enhanced the filter functionality in ETL Table. Now, you can utilize the owning project as a criteria when listing elements, allowing you to narrow down the table to only include elements from specific project(s). This enhancement provides you with greater control and flexibility in customizing your ETL Table to suit your specific project-related requirements.
  • Project template:
  • Modeling REST API parameters' Enum type:
  • Visual Paradigm supports modeling a REST API using Class Diagrams and provides the ability to generate Swagger. In version 17.1, we have introduced support for using enum types for parameters. This means you can now define and utilize enumeration types when specifying parameters for your REST API, enhancing the precision and clarity of your API design.
  • Manage team projects with folders:
  • Supported Temporal Table in ERD:
  • Temporal Tables is a feature in Microsoft SQL Server that allows you to store and manage data history, enabling you to track changes and retrieve previous versions of data. Visual Paradigm 17.1 supports the modeling of temporal tables and the generation of related SQL. Here are some notes about this change:
  • Set a table to be a Temporal table through the Entity specification. Click on the inverted triangle at the top right to open the Temporal Table tab.
  • There are numerous settings:
  • Start time column: The time that a row was created or updated
  • End time column: The time that the row was modified or deleted
  • History table: The previous version of the row each time a row in the temporal table gets updated or deleted
  • Enhanced VP Server report and log:
  • Enhanced BPMN intermediate events to conform to Choreography task specification:
  • The following types of intermediate events can now be attached to the boundary of Choreography activities.
  • Message
  • Timer
  • Cancel
  • Compensation
  • Conditional
  • Signal
  • Multiple
  • SysML enhancements:
  • Supported link web diagram elements to desktop diagrams:
  • As a comprehensive modeling and diagramming software, Visual Paradigm Desktop facilitates the creation of visual models and diagrams. In version 17.1, we have introduced a new feature that enables you to establish linkages between shapes in a diagram and other diagrams within your visual model. This means you can seamlessly navigate and connect relevant information by linking shapes to specific diagrams, enhancing the overall coherence and accessibility of your visual models.

  • Users can connect to the server to install plug-ins.
  • Project template - Get a head start on your work:
  • Lets team members create a project by choosing a project template stored in your Visual Paradigm Server workspace.
  • Unlike starting a project from scratch, a project template gives you the initial data you need to get started. Depending on the nature of your projects, your project templates could include corporate workflows, guidelines, glossary, and more. A project template simply allows you to get a head start on your work. Here are the benefits of start a project with a template:
  • Save time and effort that might otherwise be lost in creating repetitive project content.
  • Establish common project bases for different users or teams to work on with
  • Build consistency between similar projects.
  • Manage team projects with folders:

  • Layer based diagram comparison:
  • The Visual Diff feature helps you compare two diagrams by showing their differences in a visual way. If you have ever created separate layers to organize the content of diagrams, you may find Visual Paradigm 17.0 useful because you can now narrow down the comparison to a specific layer in the diagram. This allows you to focus on specific kinds of data without being tied to changes that are not of interest.
  • New online diagrams: 3 breakdown structure chart:
  • Three new breakdown structure charts are introduced in version 17.0:
  • Resource breakdown structure: a list of resources needed to deliver a project, presented in a structured manner

New in Visual Paradigm Professional Edition 15.1 (Sep 10, 2018)

  • Scrum Process Canvas:
  • A one-page process diagram that helps your team manage scrum project activities and other assets such as scrum team, product backlog, sprint backlog, daily scrum, impediment, burndown, scrum review and retrospective, etc.
  • Browse a work item:
  • The Scrum Process Canvas presents the scrum activities in an organized manner. To start working on a work item, simply click on it to browse for its steps.
  • Perform activity:
  • Perform the activity by following the steps given. Depending on the work item, you may be asked to fill-in a table, draw diagrams or so.
  • Generate document:
  • Effectively communicate ideas the with documents generated from the information gathered under work items.
  • Wireflow Diagram - A Wireframe-based Flowchart:
  • Wireframes is a widely adopted UX tool that allows designer and client to work together in identifying the content and functionality of screens. A wireflow makes UX even more effective by harnessing the power of wireframe and flowchart, creating a step-based UX diagram that illustrates the steps and decision points of particular scenarios and the possible navigation paths throughout these steps.
  • Draw or compose wireframes, at your own choice:
  • A wireflow is formed by a sequence of screens called 'scenes'. Depending on the level of detail required, you can create and embed detailed wireframe as a scene, or to compose a scene by choosing the components from the wireframe symbol library. 400+ ready-to-use wireframe symbols are available.
  • Animating Wireflow Diagram:
  • As long as a user interaction involves alternate and exceptional cases, there are multiple paths of wireflow that can be navigated. To reduce the application complexity, the wireflow editor allows you to specify a particular path (or often called scenario) of wireflow to be animated, so that we can split a user feature to be in sync with the partition of a simple user story or testing scenario.
  • Play the animation as a storyboard slideshow:
  • Besides animating a path in the wireflow diagram, you can also play the wireframes one by one as a storyboard slideshow. You can stay at a slide, navigate around the wireflow back and forth as you like. This facilitates deeper discussions on UX, which is particularly useful when people want to spend a bit more time on one or more scenes, or skip through some of them in the wireflow path.
  • UX Prototyping Tool:
  • Create wireflow to visualize screen flow and screen layout. Run prototype with stakeholder to demonstrate and confirm your work. The UX prototyping tool allows you to perform prototyping in 4 easy steps.
  • Create Brilliant Charts in Minutes:
  • Create charts for your presentations and reports. Easily edit the chart data through the spreadsheet editor - Just replace the values by typing in your own data set. The chart will be updated automatically to reflect every little change you made.
  • Massive chart types supported:
  • All-inclusive diagramming software that is capable for many drawing types including flowcharts, mind maps, electrical schematics... and that is just the beginning!
  • Design Impactful Infographics:
  • Use our Infographic Maker to create attractive visual representations of information and data.
  • SWOT, Value Chain, PEST, and More:
  • Understand changes - Discover opportunities - Generate better options & choices - Take concrete actions - Stay competitive in marketplace!
  • Effective Cloud Services Architecture Designer:

  • Scrum Board for tracking tasks' progresses:
  • Scrum board gives you an overview of all sprint tasks. In a scrum board, tasks are partitioned into multiple columns of statuses.
  • Outputting Tasifier tasks to Report:
  • Output your task list into Microsoft Word, PDF or HTML reports, which helps you discuss and communicate project activities with colleagues easier.
  • STEPS Wizards: Analysis and Design Step-by-Step:
  • Seamless Techniques Expressed in Prescribed Steps (STEPS) is a powerful and groundbreaking feature for software development. Like a recipe that tells you how to cook a meal, STEPS are recipes that lead you through a series of well-defined steps for conducting a particular (reusable) analysis or modeling pattern for certain aspect of your development process. Your team can reuse or choose the appropriate Wizard in your project from the default set provided by Visual Paradigm.
  • List of STEPS Wizards:

  • Besides naming a stage, you can give it a brief description and have it appear below the stage name.
  • Visual API Designer for Swagger and API Blueprint:
  • Design, describe and document RESTful API in a total graphical way. You can design RESTful API easily by creating simple Class Diagram, like the one below. The graphical design approach, along with our award-winning diagramming interface make API design simple, straight-forward and error free.
  • Generate Swagger / API Blueprint formatted API:
  • Generate complete API definition in accordance with the Swagger 2 or API Blueprint specification. The API details all of its resources and operations based totally on your visual API design.
  • Generate interactive API documentation:
  • Generate beautiful, interactive API documentation that allows your development team and end consumers to easily get started with your API resources.
  • Visual Paradigm Online:
  • We are glad to announce the introduction of Visual Paradigm Online ("VP Online"), an online diagramming solution that boost your productivity, enhance collaboration and save your cost. With VP Online you can create diagrams, charts and other visuals from a wide range of diagram types, in the simplest way.
  • Enhanced On-Demand Model ETL:
  • Design your desirable views of model data in a tabular form for bulk-view/edit/prioritize/visualize using Model ETL big data technology.
  • Second Level Detail in One Table:
  • A basic Model ETL can extract data from a particular model or diagram (i.e. Use Case Diagram or a data table). Now, the enhanced model ETL allows you to extract data from multiple models or diagrams and combine those information into an integrated Model ETL Table for data transformation and visualization.
  • Extract Any Model from Anywhere through Glossary:
  • Different diagrams correspond to different views of a system that could be combined to form a full picture of a system. Any particular element of one diagram may be linked or evolved from an element in another diagram. Visual Paradigm provides a gateway to identify new elements from existing ones and establish the linkages in between. To do this, extract glossary term from the name or description of an element. When you do this, you can optionally create model element with the identified term. The created element will be dropped to the Diagram Backlog pane, readily for use in diagram.

  • Visual Paradigm for UML provides a full featured web page designer for system analyst to illustrate and annotate screen designs without limitation. The following movie shows how to use user interface designer to design web application user interface.
  • Support mirror model element from dependent project:
  • Mirror model elements feature are similar to reference model elements feature that allows visualizing model elements from other projects. The referenced model element will not keep a local copy of the model element in the project and not allow adding child to the model elements. Mirror model elements feature keeps copies of the model elements in local project and allows adding child model elements to the mirrored model elements.

New in Visual Paradigm Professional Edition 7.0 Build 20090627 (Jun 30, 2009)

  • Reference other projects' model elements
  • Project referencing is a feature that enable us to reference to an external project, and uses its model element in our own project. With this feature, we can analyze projects' data by visualizing different projects' model elements in a single diagram. Besides, we can organize our model in a more disciplined approach by having one Visual Paradigm project per library project. This also help slim up projects by separating part of it to isolated projects.
  • Compare and show difference between diagrams visually
  • There are times that we want to compare two diagrams. For example, to compare an ERD of conceptual model with an ERD of physical model, to compare a domain class diagram with a class diagram ready for implementation. Visual Paradigm can let you compare changes between diagrams to trace the differences between them.
  • Support Freehand shape
  • Freehand shapes are general shapes that can be added to diagram for annotation purposes. We can use pencil or pen shapes for sketching paths, we also can add solid shapes like stars, rectangles and arrow shapes.
  • Support justify shape name
  • In Visual Paradigm, shape name is aligned center horizontally, and top or middle vertically, depending on the characteristic of shapes. It is possible to realign the shape name, which is useful for language that is written from right to left, like Modern Hebrew.
  • Support Style for shapes and connectors
  • The visual appearance of shapes are mostly depending on their formatting properties such as the background, foreground, font selection and arrow presentations. A style is a named set of formatting properties. With style support, users can define a style with specific formatting properties, and reuse it on other shapes without the need of redefining the formatting again and again. This also facilitate mass updating of formatting properties of all shapes by just updating their style.
  • Support Layer
  • Diagram Layer is a feature to help categorizing shapes into different distinct layers. We can use a separate layer for annotation, we also can place alternative paths of a flow in a separate layer. Since layers can be shown or hide, it provides an ideal solution for controlling the portion of diagram to appear on diagram.
  • Showing line jump in Arc Square, Skip or normal
  • When modeling a complex diagram, we may come across a situation where connectors are intersected with each other. Line Jump is a feature for decorating the intersection, which makes it easier to identify connection paths.
  • Align Connector Caption Base on Connector Orientation
  • Visual Paradigm supports a number of ways of aligning connector caption, which suit different modeling preferences.
  • Support Generalization Set in Class Diagram
  • A generalization set defines a subset of Generalization relationships that describe the way in which a general classifier may be divided using specific subtypes. In Visual Paradigm, you can add and manage subset, and apply them on generalization relationships. The different kinds of notations are also supported.
  • Model and generate DB Sequence
  • The support of database sequence is now ready. User can now model the sequence in an ERD by creating sequence model(s) and filling in the necessary information needed in database generation.
  • Pinable connector end
  • A connector's ends can be stick to certain position by pinning it. The effect of pinning occurs either when you pin it manually, or when you move the end slightly around the border of connected shape.
  • Undo committed changes by reverting revisions
  • Changes committed to server through Visual Paradigm's team-working support are called revisions. Visual Paradigm supports undoing committed changes by reverting revisions. The helps discarding undesired changes and roll back the project to a 'clean' state.
