These notes contain both the new features and improvements of WorkPoint 365 version 3.10.0, which was released for the general release on the 22nd of April 2021 at 19:00 CET.
New Features
Entity Presentation Schemas
When an entity is presented, it is typically a question about showing some properties from the entities in some layout. Further, there is often a demand that this presentation can be customized so that specific sets of fields from the entity can be displayed. With Entity Presentation Schemas it is possible to create layouts using a standard setup which shows a selection of columns from WorkPoint entities, and with a bit of knowledge of CSS, HTML and/or JSON programming, it is also possible to essentially create custom webparts for your WorkPoint entities using either CSS and HTML based Handlebar layouts or JSON based Adaptive Cards.

Dynamic Site Creation Job Queue
Dynamic Site Creation jobs can now utilize a separate job queue from other jobs (the "Integration" queue) which makes it possible to run site creation jobs in parallel to other jobs. This is especially useful if running very large migration- or site creation jobs on many entities.
User-triggered site creation jobs are put into the standard Synchronous queue with a low priority weight, meaning that user triggered sites for entities will not be delayed due to a large dynamic site creation job.
Visit this article for more information about Dynamic Site Creation, processing settings, and the Integration queue.
Integration Job Queue and running jobs through APIs
Jobs are essential to the performance of WorkPoint 365 solutions. Jobs relate to a wide range of features and functionalities in WorkPoint, and together with job queues they are responsible for actions being able to be carried out in the WorkPoint system.
Once a job is started, it is put into one of two available queues; the standard job queue or the Integration job queue, depending on which job is started and by which method.
The Integration queue is a separate queue typically used for integration and migration related jobs, such as Site Creation jobs. The Integration queue exists such that integration and migration related jobs can be queued without blocking execution of other important jobs running on the WorkPoint solution.
Visit this article for more information about the different job queues and how to run jobs through the different WorkPoint APIs.
