EDELOG 6.13

New Features and Non-Breaking Changes

Updates for EDELOG Forms 7 Beta

This update includes multiple changes for our modern form system:

• Forms and form types now support permissions

• Users can be invited to contribute to an existing form

• Form validation and highlighting rules are now executed isolated from other content, to prevent malicious code accessing user data

• Forms and form types can now be found using EDELOG’s global search

• Form types can now be deleted

New Workflow System

The new workflow system replaces the current automation system, which is now being deprecated. The new workflow system offers a modular approach for configuring and running user-defined processes in a zero to low code approach.

Right now, the new workflow system is integrated in Data Explorer with more apps to follow.

Other Changes

• Data Explorer

  • Activities can now be deleted by their creator besides users with administrative permissions

• Edel UI

  • Dropdowns have been rewritten and now have a seamless look with other Edel UI components

• Identity and Access Management

Developer Notes

• i18n

  • With the new i18nTranslationSource directive, translation files can be supplied for parts of a component

• Edel UI

  • The edelOpenOverlay directive has been replaced by the <edel-overlay> component. With this change, also the existing OverlayService has been removed.

• Proxy Service

  • The proxy service can be used to download/access resources over HTTP that are restricted behind CORS rules.
