What's New in 25.1 - 25.4

This section describes the enhancements implemented in Connect 25.1-25.4.

What's new in 25.1

The following usability enhancements were introduced in version 25.1.

Feature Description
Disable caching

You can now disable caching of items between iterations to increase scalability at the cost of performance.

By default, items discovered during each synchronization run are cached between iterations. This enables iterations to run faster, but requires a varying amount of memory. If you find that Connect is taking an excessive amount of RAM, you can disable caching of items between iterations.

For details, see Disable caching between iterations.
Execution order of calculated values

You can now set the execution order of calculated values to ensure that they run in a specific sequence.

For details, see Set execution order.
Multi-value mapping

When mapping a multi-value field to a single-value field, you can use CSV conversion to merge multiple values into a single value, and to split a single value to multiple values.

For details, see Map multi-value to single-value fields.
Improved navigation and search

You can now navigate and search the Users grid and User Maps grid to locate specific items more efficiently.

For details, see Navigate and search the Users grid and Navigate and search the User Maps grid.
