2026.1 Modernizing Interoperability User Experience

The Interoperability user interface project has continued from 2025.1 and has incorporated many of the items that you – our customers and partners – have suggested and observed.  We are continuing to invest in feedback and updating this important user experience.  In the latest release, 2026.1 for IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect and Health Connect Cloud, the BPL Editor and Message Viewer/Visual Trace applications are now available for opt-in!
NOTE:

• Existing users can switch between the modernized and standard experiences. 
• All other Interoperability screens remain in the Standard user interface. 
• As new workflows are being made available in the new UI, we expect to have both experiences available while that work continues. 

• Improved UI performance of larger productions, such as those with 2000+ hosts
• Production Toolbar features host-specific actions when host(s) is selected
• Settings feature available to enable/disable the connection lines to all hosts or show only primary host connections when a host is selected
• Ability to change a host class as an action in new action tool bar
• When different classes are used in hosts with the same name, the host name in the inspector panel (right-side) appears as a dropdown to toggle between hosts with the same name
  • Additionally, both hosts will show as the same host in the Production Configuration view with the number of same-name hosts visible to the left of the host name
• Global filter for left-side "Collections" Panel to enable bulk filtering across Hosts, Productions, DTLs, etc.
• Collections panel (left-side) ability to collapse/expand production items (e.g. Rule Sets, Data Transformations, Business Processes)
• File Path Directory picker enabled
• Ability to copy host name as text with copy icon button now available next to the host name
• New user interface is localized to the supported languages
• And more!

• NEW DTL AI Explain Feature enables an augmented manual description workflow with an AI-generated description
  • Read documentation here - Using the DTL Explainer
• Visual cues on properties in DTL Editor graphical editor indicating required, optional, and deprecated segments/fields
• Hovering over a property in the DTL Editor graphical editor shows additional information about the property
• And more!

• Activity timeout has increased to 30-minutes from 10-minutes
• Readability enhanced when editing target hosts for Send action editor

• New tree to visualize current context: navigate up or down the tree
• New BPL Editor UI embedded in VS Code

• History of recent previous searches now available for easy access to repeat search
• When a historical search is selected to filter the Message Viewer results, the Search History icon will be highlighted to reflect a filtered view is in place
