Visual highlighting of requirements from minimum requirements in the Excel file using a star symbol.
The use case for minimum requirements is now also displayed in the export dialogue to indicate that it is always exported. This is greyed out and listed only if present.
On the cover sheet (first worksheet of the Excel file), information on mappings is now only displayed if these have also been selected.
The formatting of the cell of the actor was not always correct (also applies to the documentation export).

Export
Exporting software templates, checking rules or reports (PDF or ODT) is now started in a new window/tab in order to not block the current view.
IFC elements with more than one possible Common Pset (e.g. IFC 2X3: IfcElectricMotorType with Pset_ElectricalDeviceCommon and Pset_ElectricMotorTypeCommon) are now also exported correctly
Version: BIMQ 2.7.1
Date: 2022-12-08
Improvements and bug fixes
General
Improved stability for file downloads
For some users, the mapping dialog for software mappings (both in templates and requirements) no longer displayed all options as choices.
Project configuration
The inconspicuous but powerful function Update all requirements (accessible by right-clicking on a concept in the template tree) is now explained in more detail by a tooltip. In addition, the action is executed only after confirming a dialog to prevent accidental execution. The function is available for all templates that are not of type Type.
Excel export
When exporting as an Excel file, the selection of discipline models (requirements, documentation) or components (templates) is now transferred correctly.
For some older projects with certain software settings the export failed.
Automatic line wraps have been added for better readability.
A forgotten placeholder in the file name has been removed.

New
Import, export and documentation using Excel files
Now, finally, import and export as well as documentation of templates and requirements in projects via Excel have been completely revised:
Design, clarity and performance for import and export of Excel files have been massively improved:
More efficient use of space within Excel worksheets
Automatic filtering and sorting by values in the table header
Optical highlighting of requirements from minimum requirements
Extensive customization options are now available for exporting an Excel file, including:
Switching on and off various columns
Output of values either as simple list or line by line (only documentation as well as requirement export)
Selection of any number of discipline models, mappings, phases and use cases
It is now possible to define requirements by Phase + use case directly in Excel and re-import them
When importing templates, both 'old' and new Excel files are still temporarily importable
The 'old' Excel export and import of the project configuration (assignment of templates to discipline models) can now actually be found in the project configuration in a new tab
Improvements and bug fixes
General
Password reset was no longer possible for some users
Revision of some translations, especially in exports (reports)
Templates
If a user's role does not allow the deletion of actors, phases and use cases, this is now uniformly indicated by a grayed out 'Delete' icon.
Templates and requirements
Using a classification from the bSDD: The mapping dialog for certain catalogs of the bSDD is now displayed correctly again.
Import of requirements from another project did not work for elements with different mappings.
Users with the 'Developer' role could not change mapping assignments for individual components.
Export
Export of software templates for Bimplus: If properties with incompatible Allplan mappings are present in a project, this caused the export to fail. Incompatible mappings are now skipped and the user is warned with a note.
API
The API v1 now also exports the lost field code for Phases
