September ’24 Updates

AI-generated summaries now have additional text and formatting when the underlying source material is longer. Longer summaries will include paragraph breaks, headers, bullets, and other styling to improve readability.

Administrators can now enable, disable, and delete multiple users at once by importing a CSV file with user emails. After selecting the bulk action from the drop-down menu, a CSV template will be provided for download to help format the data. Additionally, a CSV can also be imported to enable or disable multifactor authentication for a group of users.

The new Lookup Table Command Line Utility lets users interact with the Lookup Table API directly from a local Windows or Linux command line interface. This tool simplifies data management in Lookup Tables in Laserfiche Cloud by providing an efficient way to list tables, retrieve and view data, and export or import data using flat files. The utility is available on the developer center

Laserfiche Cloud April ’24 Updates Now Live

Form Signature Field Enhancement
Signature fields within the new form designer can now be marked as read-only if they were signed in a previous step in a process. This means a single form can be used across multiple steps while displaying previously signed fields, and without having to render the entire form read-only

Form Date Field Update
We have enhanced date field configuration so users can set dates relevant to when they’re filling out the form. You can set minimum and maximum valid date ranges using options like the current date, day after current date (tomorrow), or relative dates. Additionally, you have control over which dates are selectable within the calendar picker, including specific dates, weekdays only, or custom criteria based on JavaScript functions. Explore our documentation for practical examples and creative ideas.

HTML in Field Settings
Designers can add simple html markup in labels, text below/above fields, and tooltips across all form fields. You can add simple break tags to break up labels, or even add button and input elements wherever you want. Leveraging this new HTML markup, along with HTML events, lets you create a highly customized interface within the Form Sandbox — no custom HTML fields required.

You can now attach more than four attachments in the Email Activity in Workflow. You can attach up to 20 files, with a maximum total size of 25MB for all attachments. Visit our changelog for detail on on all release items this month.

Laserfiche Cloud February ’24 Updates Now Live

Capture Profile Zones have been improved for more accurate data handling in your workflows. Capture Profile zones now return a blank value when a zone’s anchor is not found on the page, rather than capturing the text at the zone’s location.

If a field is not part of a document, its value will be blank. It also allows Workflow to respond to blank vs filled fields and process documents accordingly.

Leverage even larger enterprise-level data sets. Use millions of data points real-time across forms and workflows and enable support for tens of thousands of customers.

Take advantage of Laserfiche’s inherent security and records management functionality with a tight integration with SharePoint Online. This integration provides common repository management capabilities for Laserfiche Cloud users right within SharePoint Online.

Streamline securely sharing documents by automatically generating a one-time passcode for content recipients, instead of having to create and share a password manually.
This feature can also be used for multi-factor authentication (or MFA) experience when multiple security levels are needed.

Ongoing Forms work helps eliminate the need to script common scenarios and puts more power in the designers’ hands. Configure field rules to run based on where the form is in a process and have more control over how forms are saved to the repository.

Laserfiche Cloud October ’23 Updates Now Live

Designers can now customize the sub fields within an address field for situations like designing a form for an international user whose address is set up differently.

Easily email teams directly about a task or dynamically email different teams by using a variable in this field that resolves to the name of a team.

Several enhancements make navigating and finding what you need in process automation easier, such as viewing total number of selected list items, navigating to find your rules in a form and monitoring workflows.

Designers can now bind to HTML events within custom HTML fields to run functions in the layout designer JavaScript sandbox. The LFForm object can update more field settings to give you more control over all the labels in your form.

The Repository Cloud API version 2 release brings new API functionalities such as large file upload, standardized long operation APIs, and many developer ergonomics improvements and makes it easier for JavaScript developers to integrate with the Laserfiche repository.
