At long last, Family Diagram 2.0 is released. It represents a complete overhaul of the app, with the following new features:
- Simplified interface
- Focuses on three main variables: anxiety, functioning, symptom
- Search form overlays diagram making effect of search terms obvious.
- Search by “Emotional Unit”
- All old functions now available in “editor mode,” which is more advanced.
- New “Add Data Point” form
- A green (+) button in the upper right
- The main, simplified way to create a diagram
- Automatically arrange new people on the diagram.
- BT Copilot
- Ask a specialized Bowen Theory AI to evaluate the data in the currently open file.
- The AI is trained on seminal Bowen Theory and Collective Intelligence literature
- This is just the beginning – BT Copilot will be constantly improving!
- Much easier to tell what date is shown in the diagram looking at the bottom and right timeline, diagram, and title bar.
- Draw a box around a cluster/sequence of events to assign a tag.
- Added “hide dates” and “hide variables” on person / marriage since
- Dates can identify the person, but you often want to still show facts of functioning like “heart attack,” “diabetic,” etc.
- Added event colors in timeline
Updates to the user manual and video tutorial will follow.
NOTE: Beta licenses will continue to work for some time. New features will continue to be released in the beta versions before the release versions.
