New features were released to cloud and self-hosted earlier this month! Check out the details of the April cloud release here.
MuleSoft Partnership
Our new partnership with MuleSoft, a Salesforce company, provides more integration options for Laserfiche customers by exposing hundreds of application connectors within the MuleSoft platform. Easily integrate your Cloud or self-hosted Laserfiche instance with popular enterprise applications using our connector, making it easy to view, save, update and download Laserfiche documents and metadata across your entire organization. Explore the Laserfiche Solution Marketplace today to learn more about the platform connectors available.
Form Layout Designer Updates
The layout designer has been updated to provide validation for all field properties in the Form designer. If a form creator enters an invalid value for a property, for example, a maximum range that is less than the minimum range, they will be alerted.
A new option lets the form designer configure the field size for file upload. This feature is helpful when adding a file upload field to a table so the button fits nicely within the table.
You now have the ability to customize theme elements for pagination options. You can also convert pagination themes from the classic form designer to the new designer.
A new JavaScript API lets you add or remove CSS classes in Forms.
Process Promotion Updates
The email display name option has been added to the process promotion tool. You can create or select new email display names when importing a business process into a target environment along with other unmatched resources such as users, teams, workflows, rules, and more.
API Updates
The Java libraries for interacting with the Laserfiche API from Java applications have been improved with a version 2 release that includes:
- New functions for exporting documents to a stream
- Automatically refreshing expired access tokens
- Improved error handling and retry on transient errors
- Function parameter classes to improve code readability
- Async APIs replaced with blocking APIs
The libraries are open source and the implementations and sample projects are available on GitHub.
Direct Share Updates
Direct share has been updated so that you can increase the time period to share documents from 7 to 30 days for the business tier of Cloud, self-hosted Subscription and Laserfiche Rio.
Based on pricing plan, you may also have the option to increase the maximum file size from 200MB to 1GB or more.
DocuSign and Laser App Accounts
The DocuSign and Laser App integrations now use the “DocuSignUser” and “LaserAppUser” accounts when accessing the repository, allowing you to more finely control what content the integrations have access to.
Capture Profiles Updates
When opening a capture profile that was created using a previous OCR engine, a new dialog will automatically update the existing sample pages to have more accurate text and match the results you see at runtime.
New Solution Templates
New solution templates include an employee annual review process from AIS, which allows managers to schedule staff performance reviews with automated reminders and a flexible contract management system which is designed to meet more flexible needs than our standard Contract Management System template.
Keep an eye out for new regionalization features around language, time zone and date formats coming soon!
