Features​

DocX Theme Support​

Word Documents support different Themes and the Fill Document service task (powered by DocX) now does as well. You can now configure custom theme colours which will be applied to the produced document. This sets the actual Word theme, so any content within can be styled. The theming interface mirrors the Theme configurator in Word itself to make it easy to map your custom themes across.

One word of warning, Word Online has different behaviour around custom themes as compared to Word running locally. We have noticed the first two theme colours (Text Light 1 and Text Dark 1) are respected by Word Online but instead set to black and white locally.

Adaptive Required Field Support​

Marking fields as required in Adaptive documents will now be respected by both Public Forms and the Task Experience. Public forms with empty required fields will prevent submission of the form. Tasks can be altered and saved so that they can be pushed out or slowly filled in over time, but trying to complete a task with missing required fields will now direct the user to fill them in.

This update has no effect on Explorer.

Features​

Mobile Tasks​

The Tasks experience has been upgraded with a mobile friendly style sheet. This styling change comes with improvements for buttons including a disabled state on task side menus when they are empty.

Features​

Notification Lists​

Notifications and Audiences have been upgraded from an internal table to full list support. This enables access to access and control of notifications via the API for the creation of 3rd party notification systems. See the Technical Documentation for requirements to produce and manage notifications.

Environment Headers​

Webhooks and Service tasks sent from RAPID to external systems now will carry environment information in their headers. This allows for the creation of third party endpoints that can react differently if a request is received from Test or Production.

Bugfixs​

• Fixed dates pulled from a Data Store using Lodash in Workflow v3 returning a JS date instead of an ISO date
• Fixed lookups prefilled with just an ID failing to fetch the display field in Tasks
• Enabled JSON fields on base tables to be returned on the All$ view, matching behaviour with sub tables

Improvements​

• Enabled input limits on Adaptive Input components
• Added Adaptive File Component support when placed in the Tasks experience
• When searching for a component to add in the Adaptive Designer, the All view now can regard a list context
• Added multi-select to the component adding panel in Adaptive Designer
• Added improved error messaging when trying to submit a public form that had been removed from a local store

Features​

Data Cans​

It is now possible to add data cans to workflow diagrams. These act as persistent get item or get items service task, where you can reference them and fetch the most upto date state of the item(s)

Error Boundary Event​

There is now support for the error boundary event, if the attached activity gets into an errored state, the boundary path will be taken.

2/3/2023

Features​

DocX PDF Support​

You can now generate a PDF from the DocX service task. When creating a PDF file the original word file will still be produced. When referencing the embedded files configuration of the DocX service task in Workflow with PDF selected, the PDF file will be returned instead.

Additionally there is now a toggle to preserve the {moustache glyphs} within your documents when running the service task. By default these glyphs will now be replaced with a blank character.

Bugfixs​

• Fixed a page crash when navigating between the login page and task list in the Tasks Experience
• Fixed conditions in repeating sections failing to evaluate
• Fixed subtypes of items linked via lookup failing to be fetched in linked scenarios

Improvements​

• Added new custom rich text editor to Adapative, replacing the Multi-Line Text Control

27/02/2023

This release contains a one-two punch of the brand new Tasks experience as well as the shiny new Workflow v3 engine.

Features​

Tasks Experience​

Leveraging the Adaptive Documents design, the new Tasks experience brings the associated document front and centre.

This also comes with a new connection type to configure your Adaptive Documents, the 'Expected Context' connection. Expected Contexts allow you to define which item type (or sub-type) you are expecting to be present when opening the task. With this you can define how items that are created and updated via an Adaptive document relate to the task, if at all!

Workflow v3​

Workflows' engine has been replaced with a brand new version built from scratch. Faster, more powerful and much more extensible; Workflow 3 unlocks finally implementing more of the BPMN 2.0 specification. One of the most drastic changes comes in the form of Call Activities and their child process runs. To be more in accordance with the BPMN 2.0 specification, and to support future Data Cans and Documents, sub-processes are now incorporated in their parent ledger.

While this engine upgrade is mostly future facing, it does come with some spicy new improvements right now

Custom Post Bodies​

You can now configure custom post bodies in Webhook service tasks. Now you can simplify getting the data you want out of your process by using powerful Lodash expressions. Blank configurations will continue to post the entire ledger, so existing diagrams will not be affected.

Non-Interrupting Timers​

Configuring a Timer to be non-interrupting allows the creation of follow-up and checking branches in your process, without disrupting mission critical tasks.

Bug Fixes​

• Fixed Context Missing error when trying to create columns called 'Title' on new tables
• Fixed missing clear value buttons on User and Date fields in Adaptive Documents
• Prevented root level crash when adding Time Picker component to a page
• Fixed custom create pages in Adaptive Documents with lookups rendering behind the creation modal
• Fixed configuration components failing to render on the File component

Improvements​

• Added spinner to RP Forms when loading the framework
• Added multi-lookup field support to Adaptive Documents
• Removed erroneous .toString when processing id values via the SDK
• Implemented sub-process navigation to Explorer and Workflow UI

27/11/2022

This release replaces Adaptive Forms with the more flexible Adaptive Documents. Documents are powerful way to store and track deep data in a single, transmittable form. This change paves the way for Adaptive Apps to develop custom experiences.

As a consequence of this change, Adaptive Designer has been upgraded to support Documents. Additionally this release will include a database upgrade to shift all existing forms into documents.

Features​

Adaptive Designer v3​

Designer has undergone significant changes supporting documents. You can now open multiple documents at the same time to make switching between them easier.

Tab support has also been added to help spread configuration out so you can focus on what you're trying to do.

Bug Fixes​

• Fixed malformed item profile response shape when selecting sys_type_id

Improvements​

• Simplified Universal Link schema to reduce on-disk storage by around 20%
• Added Adaptive Documents system list, replacing Adaptive Forms
• Associated existing public form tasks to Adaptive Documents
• Associated existing process diagrams to Adaptive Documents
• Implemented Adaptive Document configuration support into Workflow

3/11/2022

Improvements​
