WPM Changelog

Smart Request and the WPM cart #

Request a part that we do not list, and our tool tries to find it and add it for you. The new WPM cart adds many projects to your shop cart together.

WPM

• Smart Request is new. If you cannot find a connector or contact, give us its part number or a link. Our tool then tries to find the part and add it for you. If the tool cannot add the part, our team examines the request. We send you an email when your part is ready or approved, or when we have a question.
• To request a part in the editor, select "Part requests" in the toolbar. Each contact list also has a "Can't find it? Request a part" link, and the housing list has a "Can't find a housing? Request it" link. The "Part Requests" link in the top bar replaces "Request Product". It opens a page with the request form and all your requests. The "My part requests" item in the account menu opens the same page.
• When a requested part is ready, you can use it in your projects immediately. The part shows "Pending approval" and has no price until we approve it. You can publish and order the project after the approval.
• If we have a question about your request, you can answer it in the "Part requests" panel or on the Part Requests page. In the editor, a badge on the "Part requests" button shows the number of questions.
• The new WPM cart adds many projects to your shop cart together. Select "Add to WPM cart" on the project page, or on a published project in My Projects. In the WPM cart in the top bar, set the quantity of each project, then select "Add all to cart". The WPM then opens your shop cart in a new tab. A project that you cannot order stays in the WPM cart.
• When you create a YourSpec account, you can now select the "Email me YourSpec Updates" box. We subscribe you after you verify your email address.
• We added Aptiv Weather-Pack, Metri-Pack 280, and Metri-Pack 150 connectors with their terminals. We also added four contacts: TE 1355950-2, TE 929972-1, Molex ring terminal 19193-0116, and Aptiv 12129493 without a seal.
• Bug fixes:
  • At medium window widths, the top bar now stays inside the window. Before, the account menu could move out of view.
  • The project page now fits in the browser window. Before, you could scroll the page sideways into an empty area.

Public API

• A draft can use a contact that you requested with Smart Request before we approve it. Until the approval, the draft has the issue pending_approval, and you cannot publish it. GET /v1/catalog does not list these contacts.
