Release Date: 2020-04-25
Possible Breaking Change
We removed the “DAYSUNTIL_X” and “DAYSSINCE_X” built in self-computed fields. If you still need those computed fields you can make them now using our standard computed fields technology. Set the field to READ ONLY and set the field’s default value to “[DIFF([fieldName]|[DATE]|d)]” for Days Since and “[DIFF([DATE]|[fieldName]|d)]” for Days Until.
Possible Breaking Change
The PROP variable was updated in this release to conform better to JavaScript/JSON standards. Previously an object was processed as an array of 1 item. In order to read its values you needed to specify element 0 of the array. In this release an object is now treated as a single object and not as if it were in an array. This means you no longer can specify the element number for a simple object. Arrays are not impacted this this change.
BEFORE: [PROP([OBJ]|0|Name)], AFTER: [PROP([OBJ]|Name)]
Highlights
This is a brief summary of the most noteworthy new features
Change to UTC Time – All Workflow, OCR, and Retention functions are now being logged in UTC time. This will make it easier to see the true timeline of multiple processes that happen between time zones. All times are converted to your local time zone for display so most users will see no difference.
E-form Field Repeater – We have added new functionality to the Panel field that allows it to query records and for each record found will duplicate the fields contained in the panel. This is especially useful for order forms where the form is built from an inventory-like record list. Users can maintain the Inventory records which in turn automatically updates the order form.
Updated Storage Report – The new Storage Report not only breaks down the items per Record Type but also gives you the ability to purge by given Record Type. This gives you more control over what items you are purging when trying to save space.
Email Messages Report – We added a new report for finding emails that were sent during a time period and by whom. Emails were always logged in the audit trail but going forward they will be logged separately in their own report space for ease of use and review.
Record Purge Change – We have updated the Record Purge logic to also delete all audit trail information for purged Records. We still keep an audit entry for the purge action but no meta data about the Record other than its unique ID are stored. This will help ensure full data purge compliance for sensitive applications.
