Details
Schema Management
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).
yuuvis® RAD mail-archive-service
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 Services
The logging of security-relevant events will be extended so that administrators can easily analyze attacks or identify persons who have changed system configurations and which.
The search-service will allow users to subscribe for specific searches. Users will receive an e-mail if new or changed objects match the saved search.
Additional languages will be supported for full-text search in the standard delivery (current support: de, en, es, fr, it).
One of the main topics will be the optimization of messaging, especially in case of unexpected environment shutdowns.
The extraction service can be extended using plug-ins. This way, developers are able to write custom code for extracting data from files with a specific format.
New: A signature service supports the signing of PDF-formatted files via DocuSign. This service can be extended using plug-ins.
yuuvis® RAD client and yuuvis® RAD agent
Language Support
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.
Workspaces and Widgets
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.
Content Viewing
Viewer Service
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.
O365 Integration
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.
Subscribtions to Notifications
Users will have the possibility to subscribe to an automatic notification of any changes on documents in a specified folder.
Teams Integration
In the second half of 2023, we will introduce a Microsoft Teams integration to yuuvis® RAD.
