Our goal with this blogpost is to show you the most important enhancement, new capabilities as well as benefits regarding the user interface.
Enhancement: Updated AutoUDF User Interface
| Functionality | New buttons make it easier to create, reuse, modify and delete AutoUDF definitions in Advanced Framework Extension. A new dialog allows users to view and manage existing AutoUDFs. |
