Find out more about new features and improvements in the Fabasoft Private Cloud.

Users

As end user you can expect the following new features.

Change and Asset Management

RFC shelves are used to manage RFCs and to define access rights.

• New role: Change Manager
  Change managers can manage RFCs and release packages and can be selected as change or release managers.
• New setting: Preferred Change Manager
  When creating an RFC, the preferred change manager is initially stored in the Change Manager of the Affected Systems field.

IT asset shelves are used to manage the inventory passed to employees.

• The IT asset folders “Webcams” and “Headsets” are additionally available.
• With the “Create Multiple Assets” action you can create multiple assets of the same type in one step.
• An asset cannot be placed in an IT asset folder more than once, nor can it be cut.

Note: Change and asset management must be licensed separately.

Common Improvements

• The Keep Text Module Placeholders in Document field of text modules can be used to define whether text module placeholders inserted in a Word template are replaced when a document based on the template is created. Text module placeholders that have not been replaced can be replaced afterwards in Microsoft Word using the “Replace Text Module Placeholder” button.
• Text module placeholders can also be inserted in text modules. Thus, a multi-level dynamic text module hierarchy can be defined.
• Time travel can be used to compare the contents of text modules (Word).
• In workflow activities, the “Time Travel” and “Open Origin" actions are available for the affected object.
• The new "Extended via category and workflow" access protection can be assigned to Teamrooms.
  The defined team can access the Teamroom and its contents. Users participating in workflow are granted read access. Access to individual objects can also be granted via the category.
• Contacts can be synchronized from the Fabasoft Private Cloud to Microsoft Outlook and vice versa.

Process and Form Designers

As process or form designer you can expect the following new features.

• In BPMN processes, the join type (AND or OR join) can be defined for a converging parallel gateway.
• If you specify a symbol for a form, it will be displayed instead of the object class symbol for objects that have the form assigned.
• When downloading BPMN process diagrams, the following options are available:
  • Download Diagram With Preview
    Downloads the XML representation and preview images of one or more BPMN process diagrams including any sub-processes that may be contained.
  • Download
    Downloads the XML representation of one or more BPMN process diagrams including any sub-processes that may be contained.
  • Upload
    The downloaded BPMN process diagrams can be uploaded again (also in another installation if applicable). Either a single XML file or an entire ZIP file can be uploaded. If a ZIP file is uploaded, existing diagrams can be updated.

Administrators

As administrator you can expect the following new features.

Holiday Tables

Holiday tables allow the definition of holidays and time intervals. Holidays are used, for example, in the workflow and time intervals are considered for follow-ups.

By default, holiday tables are available for Austria, Germany and Switzerland. If no specific holiday table is selected in the Holiday Table field of app configurations, app rooms or Teamrooms, the default holiday table is used (“Set as Default” context menu command).

Organization Management

In the “Organization Folder” widget you can directly create additional standard Teamrooms for teams, external organizations, organizational units or for the organization using the “New” action.
