Release Notes

Version 3.29

Release Date: 2019-08-10

 

Highlights

This is a brief summary of the biggest and/or most interesting new features

Out of Office Support – We have added a new Out Of Office feature that controls the assignment of new work items. If a user is out of office all new items can be assigned to a different user. This can be controlled within the user’s settings and also in the Admin / User properties.

Record Change Alerts– Users can decide to be alerted by email any time one of their “favorite” records change. Changes include data value changes, notes, document add/edit/delete and more.

Area Administrators– You can now specify Administrators who only have access to certain areas. This is useful if you need a user who can work in E-Forms but nothing else or someone who can manage users but not system settings.

Security Enhancements– We have added a custom password security policy setting and a password change requirement option.

Workflow Features– We now have a new Document Extraction action that extracts data values from Word Forms, PDF Forms and Spreadsheets.

Auto-Purge Documents– There is now an option in the Record Type to automatically purge any document that is deleted within that Record Type. Using this feature should be a security / policy decision and should be used with care. Remember, any documents purged are NOT recoverable.

Indexing Screen Changes– New indexing screen features include splitting line item entries, entering dates using MMDDYY or MMDDYYYY (DDMMYY and DDMMYYYY for European date formats), improved number rounding and currency formatting.
