Administration UX

Frameless Design

Experience a streamlined interface, free of legacy frames, for a more seamless and faster user experience.

Modern URLs

Navigation has been enhanced with clean, human-readable URLs, simplifying access to different pages and UI elements while adhering to modern web standards. URL parameters have been standardized to lowercase for consistency (#4219).

Notes

  • This version extensively uses URL Rewrite in IIS to properly reroute URLs. URL Rewrite rules must be configured in the inetpub\wwwroot\web.config file using the provided configuration file in the installation package.

  • Legacy URLs using the show.aspx endpoint and QUERY query string parameter are deprecated but remain supported without behavior changes.

New Features

  • SAML v2 Authentication: Enhanced authentication options with SAML v2 support for enterprise single sign-on integration (#4286, #4288).
  • Dropbox Sign Integration: New workflow applications for electronic signature management (DROPBOXSIGNSEND and DROPBOXSIGNCHECK) (#4139, #4124).
  • XMLTOJSON: New workflow application for seamless data format conversion between XML and JSON (#4215).

  • Validation: enforced action/parameter name limits and process reserved name checks (#4176, #4262, #4317, #4318).
  • Form Designer: tools correctly update the TEMPLATE dropdown; improved Save As behavior (#4332, #4330).
  • Portal: fixed error when filtering on process data in search; fixed analytics error handling for numeric values exceeding Int32 limits; corrected dashboard button display in different contexts; improved report data rendering for nullable double values (#4321, #4349, #4196, #4355).
  • User Settings: improved dashboard view loading performance with dynamic loading and lazy initialization; limited view list width for better UI consistency; enhanced select menu styling for custom dashboard views (#4362, #4354, #4353, #4357).
