The following information as well as the linked information is intended to outline some of our current product developments for our yuuvis® RAD 9.x. Like everything else in life, the best plans can change over time. The following article describes the current state of work, but it is important to understand that the details are for information purposes only and are not to be understood as binding commitments. OPTIMAL SYSTEMS reserves the right to make changes in the planning, development and release of products and their features and functions at its sole discretion. |
This page provides an overview of the new features provided with the major and upcoming minor releases and the expected preliminary results provided in our minor releases during the continuous delivery process. We reserve the right to not release a certain minor version due to important reasons.

The following features are planned to be delivered with the 9.x release.
While developing new features for this upcoming new major version, the following objectives are our guidelines:
Postponed to a later version: Microsoft Teams integration (version 9.16 LTS) Postponed to version 10: Microsoft O365 integration for viewing and collaborative editing of Microsoft Office files (version 9.16 LTS) Postponed to version 10.0: license managementAs with every major release, many parts of the system received updates to keep the system on track regarding support and security:
Step by step, end-user facing components will support partners to deliver yuuvis® RAD with their own labels, logos, and URLs to their custom documentation.
Multiple inheritances: Administrators can model schemata more effectively as object types can now inherit from multiple abstract object types.
Multi-value fields based on sets: Administrators are supported by a more intuitive way to model multi-value fields for object types. The set type can be used that is currently modeled as a single-column table. Thus, the control of field behavior is improved (as it is separated from tables that have their own set of properties) as well as the comprehensibility of the product/modeling of solutions in general.
Digit grouping in BPM forms: The digit grouping of BPM number fields is supported as is it for object types (e.g., 3,345.45 for en, 3.345,45 for de, 3'345.45 for de-CH).
This new edition of yuuvis® RAD mail-archive-service enables both so-called journaling and simple mailbox archiving in conjunction with exchange online. In journaling, all relevant e-mails are initially stored using a specific object type and are available for audits. Information is stored on who received what information and when. This can be compared to the classic incoming and outgoing mail book in paper form. In contrast to the paper form, its digital counterpart not only registers the incoming or outgoing e-mails, but also stores the entire content of those e-mails in the DMS.
In addition, this journal can also be extended to internal mail communication.
Mailbox archiving gives you the option to directly transfer e-mails from mailboxes to yuuvis® RAD. Based on a list of user groups in exchange online, all associated mailboxes are checked and the e-mails contained are transferred to the DMS according to certain rules. The filing takes place in folders that are assigned to the respective users. E-mails in the mailbox that are also available in the DMS are flagged by a specifically set category.
This service is ready for prototyping. If interested, ask for a live demonstration.
yuuvis® RAD client offers basic support for languages that are read from right to left (RTL mode) such as Arabic and Hebrew. These languages have to be prepared on the customer side and can be added per configuration.
Users will be supported by configurable workspaces with widgets that can be placed and sized individually. These widgets will provide a variety of frequently needed features and information, such as saved searches, object lists or statistical diagrams with data on how many invoices came in the day before.
A new service will be in charge of viewing document content. This reduces the code base of yuuvis® RAD client so its loading is shortend.
This viewer service can be extended by further viewing components for specific file formats by plug-ins. Ask for more information if interested.
In the second half of 2023, we will introduce an O365 intgration to yuuvis® RAD. This will eliminate the need to render Microsoft Office documents because they are going to be rendered by Microsoft O365 features. If users possess an O365 account, they can edit Office documents and save them as new versions.
Users will have the possibility to subscribe to an automatic notification of any changes on documents in a specified folder.
In the second half of 2023, we will introduce a Microsoft Teams integration to yuuvis® RAD.
We will concentrate on customer change requests related to usability and productivity. Thus, e.g., we will introduce the following improvements:
Step by step, all features of the current yuuvis® RAD management-studio will be migrated to yuuvis® RAD management-studio ng (ng = next generation). yuuvis® RAD management-studio ng will be based on Angular just as yuuvis® RAD client. This way, it can reuse many features of yuuvis® RAD client such as the languages supported, how to extend the application with new languages, how to change the application name, logo, background image, sidebar image, and the documentation URL (OEM aspect).
As a first feature, the workspaces that are planned for yuuvis® RAD client will also be introduced. The first widget will provide monitoring information as offered in the REST-WS monitoring view.
Postponed to a later 9.x version: Custom clients have to be adapted to accommodate the Angular 15 framework.Please refer to the Release Information 9.0 for detailed information on this major release.
Postponed to version 9.2: Administrators can configure the digit grouping for BPM properties of type number as it is possible for business object properties, so that yuuvis® RAD client shows numbers with a thousands separator, e.g., 3,546,521.56 in Englisch; 3.546.521,56 in German; 3'546'521.56 in Swiss German. (internal: ERA-9170) Postponed to a later 9.x version: The framework Angular is upgraded from version 12 to 15. Also, all 3rd party libraries that needed to be upgraded received an update. (internal: TUK-1502, TUK-1503, TUK-1504) Postponed to a later 9.x version: Users will be supported by configurable workspaces with widgets that can be placed and sized individually. These widgets will provide a variety of frequently needed features and information, such as saved searches, object lists or statistical diagrams with data on how many invoices came in the day before. (internal: TUK-1542) Postponed to version 9.2: Users are informed if they request the deletion of a document that is currently being processed. They are prompted by a dialog to either cancel the deletion or execute it. (internal: TUK-2060, ERA-9203) Postponed to version 9.4: A new signing service is introduced, so programmers can start to use it for requesting the signing of documents files that were prepared to be signed on the DocuSign platform (internal: TUK-1853) Postponed to version 9.4: Administrators can configure the digit grouping for BPM properties of type number as it is possible for business object properties, so that yuuvis® RAD client shows numbers with a thousands separator, e.g., 3,546,521.56 in English; 3.546.521,56 in German; 3'546'521.56 in Swiss German.

Discarded: Administrators can enable and disable the signature capability in yuuvis® RAD management-studio (internal: TUK-1947) Postponed to version 9.14: The integrity check operation checks a given retention time as well and repairs deviations if requested. (internal: TUK-2498) Discarded: Administrators can enable and disable the signature capability in yuuvis® RAD management-studio (internal: TUK-1947) Postponed to version 9.14: The integrity check operation checks a given retention time as well and repairs deviations if requested. (internal: TUK-2498) Postponed to version 9.8: String fields can be included in context search and saved searches by configuration instead of form scripting.

(internal: ERA-9224, TUK-19) Postponed to version 9.8: Users are supported by optimized labels regarding the classification of file formats. (internal: TUK-2516) Postponed to version 9.12: String fields can be included in context search and saved searches by configuration instead of form scripting. The new Autocomplete URL field can be used to configure a URL to a custom microservice that provides the autocomplete functionality. (internal: ERA-9224, TUK-19)Remark: The migration of the client with the component version 10.0.0 from Angular 12 to Angular 15 is entering the final phase. Therefore, we decided to freeze the coding of the current client. So no new client features are planned for yuuvis® RAD 9.8. |
