Release date: 19th of September 2024 at approx. 19:00 CET.
The release of WorkPoint 365 Version 4.19 focuses primarily on stability and resolving several key issues to improve overall system reliability. Numerous bug fixes have been applied across the platform, addressing areas such as search functionality, document conversion, and metadata handling, resulting in a smoother and more consistent user experience.
In addition to these fixes, there have been enhancements to the user interface and form handling, particularly around lookup fields and document conversion processes. These updates contribute to a more seamless interaction with the platform, helping users work more efficiently without being disrupted by performance or functionality issues.
With this release, WorkPoint 365 continues to improve its stability and usability, ensuring a more robust experience for all users.
Improvements
- The Options menu of a disabled process now displays an "Enable" button, which can be used to re-enable the process, as shown in the following image:
- The "Converts selected documents to PDFs" step output now includes the item IDs of the newly created PDF documents, as shown in the following image:
- Options available in choice fields are now responsive to conditions related to other fields. For example, you can now specify which options should be available in a Choice field depending on a boolean value from the same form. In the following example, we have two choice fields; a "SelectionType" field in which users can select between "Animals" and "Fruits", and a "Selection" field, which has dynamic options based on the selection type:
- Using adaptive expressions for lookup fields, it is now possible to control lookup choices depending on the choice in another lookup field. In the following example, our Customers module is parent for both a Projects- and a Contacts module. The Projects module has a lookup field connected to the Contacts module. Using the following adaptive expression, we can ensure that when we create a new project and select a parent company, only the contacts related to the selected company are available in the "Contacts Lookup" field for the project: "first(Element.wpParent).lookupId == EntityForm.wpParent.LookupId". Here is a demonstration of the functionality:
Note that this functionality works only with WorkPoint provisioned parent-child specific lookup fields, like "wpParent".
- Improved performance when converting a Word document to PDF.
