iLogic Enhancements (What's New in 2025)

iLogic Support for Before Vault Check-In Event

A new event named Before Vault Check-In has been added to the "Event Triggers" dialog box. This allows you to perform a final check of files before they are submitted to Vault.

You have the ability to write a rule that performs a check and sets a flag to cancel the check-in process. If a group of files, such as parent or child files, is being checked in together and you cancel one of them, no files will be checked in. Here is a sample code for reference:

    Dim checkIn = RuleArguments.VaultCheckIn
        If checkIn.InProgress Then
            If String.IsNullOrEmpty(iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")) Then
                        checkIn.Cancel = True
                        checkIn.ReasonsForCancel.Add("The Stock Number iProperty is empty.")
            End If
        End If
\```

If a rule that runs on an event throws an error, the check-in is cancelled, and you must fix the error before proceeding with the check-in. If there is a failure in a parent file (for example, an assembly), the check-in for the child files (such as parts) is also cancelled, and vice versa. If an external rule is attached to the event and that external rule is not found when the check-in occurs, then the check-in will be cancelled. An error in a single file cancels the entire check-in operation.

A rule executing on this event must treat the file as read-only. Once saved, the file is prepared for check-in. While the rule can verify values, it cannot modify them.

## Ability to Choose Image Files for Ribbon Buttons

In the "Options" tab of the Rule editor (for an external rule), the current icons are displayed. Clicking on the folder button will open a file dialog where you can select another bitmap file from any folder. The file you select will be copied to the same folder as the rule, with the name changed to follow the naming convention. The recommended resolution for the image (in pixels) is 16x16 for small and 32x32 for large. However, other sizes will be automatically scaled.

## Enable iLogic security scanning of rules by default

The "Inspect rules for malicious code" option is now checked by default after the installation. This option can be accessed from either of the following:

- Event Triggers dialog > Options
- Tools tab > iLogic > iLogic Configuration > Security Options
