Manage your connections between the repository and forms in one, central location so that administrators only have to update passwords or repository location changes one time rather that configuring each individually.

New variables let designers easily reference forms and attachments in future process steps after saving a form to the repository, empowering them with variables to use elsewhere in their process easily, such as entry ID. Designers can also quickly apply consistent field values to all attachments at once.

New utility allows administrators to easily set up and configure the Forms product and the Forms DMZ for sharing Forms externally.

Search for relevant rows based on specific search term to easily and quickly find the information you need in a large data set. Filter tables and collections to just the relevant information you need with condition-based logic.

Designers can now easily preview and test field rules at any stage in a process without having to run the process for easier troubleshooting while building. Actions like changing dropdown values makes rules reevaluate to provide an accurate representation of the form’s appearance and functionality.

Designers can now enforce certain formats on the data to provide greater consistency between different submitters and reduce data entry errors.

Designers now have full control over all labels in their forms, making customizations like translated versions of the form easier to create.

Conveniently approve forms in task emails. Designers now can add multiple action buttons with different action paths for a form process, improving workflow efficiencies. Forms administrators now have more insight and control over process instances and user actions.

Administrators can now correct errors made in a submitted form or otherwise change variable values within a process instance.

Several improvements to help you find and work with documents and the ability to easily batch print.

Rather than relying on the users to extract images at import time, you can now generate automatically image pages from PDFs in the background to standardize settings, ensure consistency and save time for your users. This additionally allows users to use annotations on their PDFs.

Securely share content from the Laserfiche repository with external users through the web client. Direct share offers access limited to only relevant documents for highly sensitive content.
