3SL are offering a number of Cradle public training courses in 2023.
Online Cradle Training
Public courses are ideal for companies:
with a small number of candidates
starting to use Cradle but not needing an industry tailored course
using more advanced features
These courses are an alternative to the tailored, industry/implementation specific consultancy and training offered by 3SL. This makes for a cost effective solution, where you’ll benefit from all the normal learning, with the advantage that a public course will have the chance to network and share with other virtual attendees from other industries.
Following feedback our online courses have been split into smaller part day sections (a two day course will now be delivered over four ½ days). This will allow candidates a longer break from training screens and more of an opportunity to put in practice some of the topics covered. When returning to the following session any questions can then be resolved.
This calendar is subject to change. Courses may be added removed or altered depending on demand. Booking will become available through the website shop for credit/debit card transactions prior to each course. For purchase orders and transfer payments please contact 3SL.
Welcome to the latest newsletter from 3SL that provides a mixture of news and technical information about us, and our requirements management and systems engineering tool “Cradle”. We would especially like to welcome everyone who has purchased Cradle in the past month and those who are currently evaluating Cradle for their projects and processes.
We hope that we, and Cradle, can deliver real and measurable benefits to all of the exciting development projects that we see every day through your regular contacts with our support team. If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact 3SL support here.
Showing Cell Titles in Views
Sometimes when displaying a nested view the cell titles take up a lot of space on the screen.
Displaying Cell Titles
Within the View Details dialog you have the option to choose whether you want to display the cell titles:
Displaying cell titles in views
As you can see you can choose to either:
Show the cell titles
Hide the cell titles
Show the cell titles only when the view is top-level
You can change the visibility of any of the component views that are being used to show linked items. In practice, most people either hide everything or show everything.
For further information on views please see our online help page.

Individuals/communities can take National Radio Day as an opportunity to appreciate/celebrate what radio means to the world today. Some people might think radio has passed its prime. Although it still acts as a strong force, especially for local communities.
The first person to identify radio waves was a German physicist Heinrich Hertz in 1886. But it took about three decades for a practical receiver to be invented, which was due to the work of Italian inventor, Guglielmo Marconi. Though it started with a Morse code message from just a kilometre away, Marconi paved the way for the future of the types of messages that radio waves could carry.
We are pleased to announce the release of Cradle-7.7 which is available now for download from the downloadssection of the 3SL website. This is the latest version of Cradle.
Cradle-7.7 splash screen
3SL customers with active maintenance have been sent an e-mail notification, and details of which of their enhancement requests and bug reports are included in this new release. This is a significant Cradle release that increments the Cradle minor version number from 7.6 to 7.7. This means that the Security Codes for Cradle-7.6 or earlier will NOT work with this new Cradle-7.7 release. Therefore, if you want to upgrade to Cradle-7.7 then you MUST contact 3SL Support and request a Cradle-7.7 Security Code since your existing Cradle-7.6 Security Codes will NOT work with this new release.
New Cradle-7.7 Capabilities
This release contains a range of new capabilities, including:
Snapshots
Metrics added to graphs
New header option in views
New reports
Annular dial type added to Dashboards
Precision option added to Dashboards
Ability to test email setup from User Preferences
These new capabilities are shown below. For further information please refer to the Release Notes.
Snapshots
A snapshot is a read-only copy of all the information in a Cradle database at a specific point in time that can be viewed, in isolation, at any point in the future.
Snapshots can be created and selected from the Project tab in WorkBench:
Snapshot options in WorkBench
Snapshots can also be created via the command line using c_prj.
When a user selects a snapshot, their access to information, cross references and definitions are determined by the contents of the user’s profile in the database, regardless of whether or not the user has a profile in the current snapshot and regardless of the contents of that user profile (if any) in the snapshot.
Cradle-7.7 includes a new type of graph which shows metric coverage or count of items with different categories set or unset. This is called a metric graph. An example is shown below:
Example Metrics Graph in Cradle
Header Option in Views
A new Header option is now available in the dialog. This provides a way of showing grouped and coloured headings when output. Example output is shown below:
Example output from WorkBench showing a coloured header
New Reports
A new Baseline Summary List report has been included in this release. This outputs each baseline on it’s own row in a table.
The Baseline Summary report has been renamed to Baseline Summary Compact.
A Sort by filter has also been added to both the Baseline List report, Baseline Summary List report and the Baseline Summary Compact report. This provides the option to sort by the baseline name, when the baseline was opened or when the baseline was closed.
Report Details Dialog showing Sort by options
Annular Dial Type in Dashboards
A new dial type has been added to dashboards – Annular %.
Annular Option in Dashboards
This is an annular percentage of a single dashboard bandset within which the KPI resides:
Example Annular dashboard
Precision Option in Dashboards
A Precision option has also been added to dashboards. This sets the count of numbers displayed around a dashboard dial:
Precision Option in dashboards
Test Email Setup
The setup of emails can now be tested from User Preferences by selecting the new Test Email button:
User Preferences showing Test Email button
Pressing the Test Mail button produces the Mail Test dialog where you choose an email recipient and whether you want to send the test email in plain text.
Mail Test dialog
Please note the only user names shown in the Recipient drop down are Cradle users in the project who have an email address defined in their User Profile.
Download
You must contact 3SL for new Security Code(s) for Cradle-7.7. Cradle-7.7 will not accept Security Codes from Cradle-7.6 or any previous release.
Cradle clients (WorkBench, Web Access, Document Publisher for instance) and server (Cradle CDS) versions cannot be mixed. Therefore, you must upgrade all Cradle installations to 7.7.
Cradle-7.7 databases do not have the same format as Cradle-7.6 databases. Hence the Cradle-7.7 release includes a database converter for the transition from Cradle-7.6 to Cradle-7.7. Full details are available in the 7.7 release notes, and updated manuals in addition you can always contact support@threesl.com .
Single User Products
Please note that there are no maintenance services for single-user Cradle products. Therefore, if you have purchased any of the single-user Cradle-7.6 products:
Cradle-RM Desktop
Cradle-RM Pro
Cradle-SE Desktop
Cradle-SE Pro
then you will not be able to request a new Cradle-7.7 Security Code. If you want to update your single-user Cradle system to the new Cradle-7.7 release, then you must buy the new Cradle-7.7 release.
Help with Cradle-7.7
