Version 5¶
Hyperview 5.0 (June 12, 2025)¶
This section covers significant changes and bug fixes in Hyperview 5.0.x since version 4.9.x
Important
This release has changes and improvements to the Data Collector software. We strongly recommend updating your installed Data Collectors to the latest version to maintain an optimal monitoring and discovery experience.
Customers using Hyperview open-source tools such as asset tool must update to the latest version.
New Feature: AI Assistant Beta¶
An opt-in AI Assistant beta is being introduced in this version of Hyperview. Hyperview Administrators are able to enable this functionality. Once enabled, Hyperview users can use it to get information about the application, navigate, search and perform read only actions.
A Settings -> General -> AI Assistant page has been added to allow administrators to enable or disable the AI Assistant. The AI Assistant is disabled by default.
Feedback is welcome as we improve this functionality.
Enhanced Feature: Quick and Advanced Search¶
The search system has been rebuilt in this version of Hyperview. Improvements include an updated interface, keyboard shortcuts, speed, and performance improvements.
Search UX has been improved by including a docking option to allow customers to interact with the search system, recall previous searches or interact with the AI Assistant as needed without leaving the quick search interface.
Important
If you are using the search API in any custom scripts, please make sure to test and update them if needed to maintain compatibility with this version of the API.
Enhanced Feature: Business Entities¶
The Associated Assets list has been improved to include the Lifecycle State.
Enhanced Feature: Connectivity¶
Hyperview Users can now set a port side on network device ports. This is to allow for more precise metadata management while documenting physical network layer infrastructure.

Enhanced Feature: Modbus & BACnet monitoring¶
The definition builder has been enhanced to support the scaling of generic numeric sensors with a multiplier.
