Version 3.36
Release Date: 2020-11-07
Possible Breaking Change
This version changes the way Collaboration Portals work. If you are using Collaboration Portals you will need to take some extra steps after the release to ensure your portals continue to work properly. Collaboration is now configured PER RECORD TYPE instead of globally. This means on a Record Type-by-Record Type basis you can turn On and Off the setting. Because of this you will need to be sure to turn ON the Collaboration setting on any Record Type in which you are using Collaboration Portals. If you forget to do this then nobody will be able to log into their Collaboration Portals until you turn the setting on. No data loss will occur if you forget so you can turn on the setting after the fact without issue. Users will just not be able to get into their portals until you do this. For more information on Collaboration Portals please refer to https://docmgt.com/why-docmgt/collaboration-portals/, https://docmgt.com/share-documents-portal-pt2/ and https://docmgt.com/better-security-with-collaboration-portals/.
Possible Breaking Change
This version changes the way the DIFF variable works for dates but ONLY when using the StartHour and EndHour parameters. If StartHour is greater than EndHour we have changed the behavior. Previously we would exchange the values and do a diff as if StartHour was EndHour and EndHour was StartHour. In this release we have changed the routine to include the hours from StartHour until EndHour and never swap. When StartHour > EndHour then we include the hours from StartHour until Midnight as well as from Midnight until EndHour. Looking at the example [DIFF(1/1/2020 7:00AM|1/1/2020 5:00PM|m|12|8)] this would previously evaluate to 300 minutes because it would include any minutes in the 8:00 AM to 12:00 Noon hours (i.e. any time that had an hour of 8AM, 9AM, 10AM, 11AM, or 12 Noon). After this release it will evaluate to 420 minutes because it now includes the hours from 12:00 Noon to 8:00 AM (i.e. any time that had an hour of 12 Noon, 1PM, 2PM, 3PM, 4PM, 5PM, 6PM, 7PM, 8PM, 9PM, 10PM, 11PM, Midnight, 1AM, 2AM, 3AM, 4AM, 5AM, 6AM, 7AM or 8AM).
Highlights
This is a brief summary of the most noteworthy new features
Public Search Portal – Record Types can now be configured for giving public access. You can specify which field to show, which to use for searching, what documents are visible and more.
IP Mapping for Reports – Any report that stores the IP address of the user now has IP Location and Google Mapping capabilities. Click on the location icon and see not only the IP address but the Latitude/Longitude, City State and ZIP code of where the end user was at the time of the logged event. Reports that currently support this are User Login Report, USer PAssword Change Report and Document Sharing Report. This is available in cloud version only.
Workflow Manager Updates – We have updated the Workflow Manager screen to make it more functional. Any Workflow Manager who is also a Reporting user can now re-assign work items from the Workflow Manager screen.
Collaboration Portal Enhancements – The Collaboration Portals have gotten more configurable and have gotten a face lift in the new version. We have moved the Collaboration setting to be Record Type specific. This way you can decide which Record Types can have Collaboration Portals used. We have also added some basic branding ability to be able to better customize the login screen.
