Features

Notification Lists

Notifications and Audiences have been upgraded from an internal table to full list support. This enables access to access and control of notifications via the API for the creation of 3rd party notification systems. See the Technical Documentation for requirements to produce and manage notifications.

Environment Headers

Webhooks and Service tasks sent from RAPID to external systems now will carry environment information in their headers. This allows for the creation of third party endpoints that can react differently if a request is received from Test or Production.

1.27.28 - Tasks & Workflow v3

This release contains a one-two punch of the brand new Tasks experience as well as the shiny new Workflow v3 engine.

Features

Tasks Experience

Leveraging the Adaptive Documents design, the new Tasks experience brings the associated document front and centre.

This also comes with a new connection type to configure your Adaptive Documents, the 'Expected Context' connection. Expected Contexts allow you to define which item type (or sub-type) you are expecting to be present when opening the task. With this you can define how items that are created and updated via an Adaptive document relate to the task, if at all!

Workflow v3

Workflows' engine has been replaced with a brand new version built from scratch. Faster, more powerful and much more extensible; Workflow 3 unlocks finally implementing more of the BPMN 2.0 specification. One of the most drastic changes comes in the form of Call Activities and their child process runs. To be more in accordance with the BPMN 2.0 specification, and to support future Data Cans and Documents, sub-processes are now incorporated in their parent ledger.

While this engine upgrade is mostly future facing, it does come with some spicy new improvements right now

Custom Post Bodies

You can now configure custom post bodies in Webhook service tasks. Now you can simplify getting the data you want out of your process by using powerful Lodash expressions. Blank configurations will continue to post the entire ledger, so existing diagrams will not be affected.

Custom post body configuration

Non-Interrupting Timers

Configuring a Timer to be non-interrupting allows the creation of follow-up and checking branches in your process, without disrupting mission critical tasks.

Non Interrupting Timer example

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Context Missing error when trying to create columns called 'Title' on new tables
  • Fixed missing clear value buttons on User and Date fields in Adaptive Documents
  • Prevented root level crash when adding Time Picker component to a page
  • Fixed custom create pages in Adaptive Documents with lookups rendering behind the creation modal
  • Fixed configuration components failing to render on the File component

Improvements

  • Added spinner to RP Forms when loading the framework
  • Added multi-lookup field support to Adaptive Documents
  • Removed erroneous .toString when processing id values via the SDK
  • Implemented sub-process navigation to Explorer and Workflow UI

This release replaces Adaptive Forms with the more flexible Adaptive Documents. Documents are powerful way to store and track deep data in a single, transmittable form. This change paves the way for Adaptive Apps to develop custom experiences.

As a consequence of this change, Adaptive Designer has been upgraded to support Documents. Additionally this release will include a database upgrade to shift all existing forms into documents.

Features

Adaptive Designer v3

Designer has undergone significant changes supporting documents. You can now open multiple documents at the same time to make switching between them easier.

AD Designer Mutliple documents

Tab support has also been added to help spread configuration out so you can focus on what you're trying to do.

Multiple tabs in Ad Designer

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed malformed item profile response shape when selecting sys_type_id

Improvements

  • Simplified Universal Link schema to reduce on-disk storage by around 20%
  • Added Adaptive Documents system list, replacing Adaptive Forms
  • Associated existing public form tasks to Adaptive Documents
  • Associated existing process diagrams to Adaptive Documents
  • Implemented Adaptive Document configuration support into Workflow

Features

Default configuration for Date columns on lists

You can now configure a date column in Designer to have a default value. This value is configured as a combination of a relative date plus an offset. For example, Task Start Dates now default to Today, while their Due Date now default to Today +1 (aka: Tommorrow).

The list of relative dates to use mirror the configuration for Views and are

  • today
  • tomorrow
  • startOfWeek
  • endOfWeek
  • startOfMonth
  • endOfMonth
  • startOfQuarter
  • endOfQuarter

As always at RAPID we are looking for feedback on which relative dates you would find useful.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed itemFilter configuration failing to be regarded in public forms for child repeating sections
  • Fixed Prefill data for root level single item contexts being nested under _data._data
  • Removed dead Workflow v2 API routes
  • Removed dead Workflow v2 test plan routes and UI

  • Added $top and $skip independent query parameter support to Omnichannel when fetching a calendarView, previously both keys were required to be processed
  • Added scroll to connections panel in Adaptive Designer for tables with more than 30 columns
  • The Get Items service task now regards the selected view, instead of defaulting to the All$ view
