Embedded Classification Tool (ECT)


What's new in version 1.7

Version 1.7 introduces new features:

New customizable settings

  • hierarchyResizable: for changing the width of the entities hierarchy using the mouse.
  • otherPostcoordination: for enabling the “other postcoordination” area to build postcoordination expression using a wider set of classification entities.

The new settings above are both available for the Embedded Coding Tool and the Embedded Browser:

  • browserAdvancedSearchAvailable: for making available the advanced search function. Advanced search lets you search selected properties of the classification. You could search all properties or a selected subset only.
  • browserHierarchyAvailable: for showing or hiding the entities hierarchy.
  • includeDiagnosticCriteria: for including the Diagnostic Criteria (Diagnostic Requirements) into the browser content.

The new settings above are only for the Embedded Browser:

Improved multilingual support

The language setting is now an overwritable setting. It means the ECT library is able to manage multiple instances of Embedded Coding Tool and/or Embedded Browser in the same page that use different language (more info here)

ICF support

Version 1.7 now supports the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) linearization (more info here)


Upgrade to version 1.7 is safe. There are no breaking changes moving from old versions 1.x to this version.

We highly recommend upgrading your current ECT to version 1.7
