1.2 Significant Changes
- Designer Menu Enhancements
- In the Designer menu, the Data & Presentation category has been split into two categories: Data and Presentation. Additional items have been added to those categories, and to other categories in the Designer menu.
- Data Policies can now specify Date Criteria and/or Advanced Field Criteria
- Sometimes, it's easier to specify a few fields and values to compare them to. The Data Criteria and Advanced Field Criteria options make that possible. (The Formula Builder is still available as well, for when more complex expressions are needed.)

- Data Policies can execute Java code directly
- When defining a data policy, it is now possible to add Java code directly into the policy. That code can then carry out operations using the Java API. This feature is intended for users who aren't comfortable creating classes and defining methods, but it is also useful for developers who need to make a quick patch. The resulting code can't be modified with the Eclipse Plugin, and it can't be unit-tested, but it is quicker and easier to created.

- Lookups can now be sorted
- It is now possible to specify the order in which lookup-records are presented to the user for choosing, both for single-value lookups and multi-value lookups.
