Important: Republish all packages.
Two of the features added in this release define new option settings: Those settings control the contents of the sidebar in application forms, and the location of the Reports tab. Existing applications in the AgileApps Cloud platform cloud are not affected. But since those settings are not part of previously packaged versions, new installations will see an empty sidebar, and will not have a Reports tab.

Process Enhancements

  • Process Model Versioning
The Process page displays the process model's revision history. The process model diagram for an earlier version can be seen, and it is possible to revert to an earlier version.
Learn more: Processes#Revision History
  • Export a process model
An XML representation of a process model can be exported, in BPMN 2.0 format.
Learn more: Processes#Exporting a Process Model

Add a Comment when Assigning Ownership - Action Required

When assigning a Case or Task to a new owner, it is possible to add a comment. The comment becomes part of the case record, and is included in the notification message that is sent to the new owner.
Learn more: Change Record Ownership
To make this feature work in an existing Case Management application, the Email Templates used for Case and Task assignment notifications need to be modified to include a new variable. (New installations of the ServiceDesk application already include it. Existing installations need to add it, to make the comments part of the notification message.)
Modify the Case template:
  1. Go to GearIcon.png > Objects > Cases > Email Templates
  2. Choose Case Assignment Notification
  3. Add the variable to the template on a line after "Has been assigned to you."
    The variable is $__owner_change_comment__.
    (It can also be selected from the list of variables provided for the template.)
Modify the Task template:
  1. Go to GearIcon.png > Objects > Tasks > Email Templates
  2. Choose Task Assignment Notification
  3. Add the variable to the template on a line after "Subject: $tasks.subject".

Turn Off Notifications when Creating a Task

When using a Rule to create a task, it is possible to turn off the notification email that gets sent to the task owner, by default. That feature is useful for tasks that are created every day, for example, because users already know to check their queue.

"Switch Back" Option after Proxy Login

When an admin uses the proxy login feature to temporarily become another user, there is now a Switch Back option that makes it easy to get back to the original login, at the same platform page the admin was in when they left. That option also appears after logging in to a sandbox.

Community Marketplace Enhancements

A new button allows you to determine exactly when a package is submitted. An existing catalog entry remains unchanged until a new version is submitted and approved. Once approved, the new version replaces the old. That arrangement has two significant benefits. First, it allows developers to publish a new package version for testing or backup, and save catalog information for that version, without affecting the existing catalog entry. Second, it means that the package contents and descriptive information provided for it are always exactly what the Service Provider approved.

Use a Rule Set to Make a Process Decision

A Rule Set invoked in a Process can return a value that can be tested in a Process decision switch, allowing the process branch to be determined by the Rules executed in the Rule Set.

Group Report Records by Quarter

Report grouping options include the ability to group records by quarter.
Learn more: Report Group#Date Groupings

Audit Log Enhancement

Lengthy entries in the Audit Log are now truncated, with a Show more link for additional detail, so it is easier to review for significant events.

Web Service Logging

When a Web Service fails, details of the invocation and subsequent results are recorded in the Audit Log, allowing for diagnosis and repair. In addition, a Debug flag can be set for a Web Service. That setting adds a record of invocation details and results for successful executions, allowing for a detailed examination of the call that was made, the data that was sent, and the data that came back.

Interactive Search Option for Web Services (15 Apr ISV Release)

A web service can return multiple records, and users can interactively choose which record to reference.
