Upcoming Enhancements

Ability to Create New Applications

At the moment, you create a new Dynamic Case Management (DCM) application by customizing the (one and only) ServiceDesk application. That mechanism works fine for one application, but it doesn't let you have more than one DCM application at a time. What you need is the ability to create a new DCM application. That functionality is on the way.

Global Email Templates

Previously, email templates were created for each object (for example, the Cases object). That capability still exists but now, global email templates can be created. Those templates can be used when sending a message from any record in the system (for example, from records in the Contacts or Tasks objects.

Add and update records using simple URLs

Using a URL with the right format (and assuming you are logged into the platform), you can add or update a record, just by visiting that URL in your browser. For external applications, it means that adding or updating application data has never been easier.

User-Role Function

A new function can be used to see the current user has a given Role. That function can be used in Form Layout Rules for example, to vary the appearance of the form based on the user's role.
