v5.12 Release Notes

10/13/2021

Important Note

An update in version 5.12.0 will require creating or selecting an initial Account-Wide Admin(s). This new User type will be able to see and access all Groups and Sub-Groups in your account and have the ability to create top-level/parent Groups. This will include a change in who can create top-level/parent Groups. Users with standard permissions to the “Groups” section (i.e. the “Administrator” Permission Set) will no longer have the ability to create top-level/parent Groups. However, they will still have the ability to create Sub-Groups.

New Features

  • PEP-3540 - Added an option on the Users page to download users, in the current page, as an CSV file. Please see the image below for more details.
  • PEP-3422 - Added a new Group setting that will either enable or disable cascading permissions in a Group. Cascading Permissions apply a User’s Permission, in a parent or top-level or Group, to any of the Sub-Groups under the parent or top-level Group. If cascading permissions are disabled, explicit permissions must be applied for the User to access each Group and Sub-Group. Please see the image below for more details.
  • PEP-3411 - Added URL as an option to provide the Document Source in API calls.
  • PEP-3259 - Added SendGrid as an email integration option so that Groups can send outgoing emails using their own email domains.
  • PEP-3256 - Added an option for the installer exe to be silent/unattended.
  • PEP-2907 - Added a new Permission type called "Account-Wide Admin". Account-Wide Admins have implicit permissions to all Groups and Sub-Groups in the account. Removed the ability for non-System-Wide or Account-Wide Admins to create new top-level Groups, meaning only Account-Wide or System-Wide Admins can create new top-level or parent Groups. Users with Administrator permissions will still be able to create Sub-Groups, but not top-level or parent Groups. Added clarity to permissions that are available to each group on the Permission Sets tab. Please reference the images below for more details. Please see the images below for more details.
  • PEP-2477 - Added the ability to copy tasks, fields, and data items while tagging a Document. Please reference the image below for more details.

Improvements

  • PEP-3617 - Added a new Private filter that allows Account-Wide or System-Wide Admins to view, edit, and delete Workflows and Web Forms that are marked as Private by other Users. Please reference the image below for more details.
  • PEP-3474 - Replaced the ProntoNetDemo web application with InstallationTests which now requires you to log in as a system-wide administrator to access it.
  • PEP-3461 - Improved the Document Task Editing screen to allow Users to collapse and expand the Task Placement and Task List side panels. This improves the user experience for tagging and task editing Documents on smaller screens. Please reference the image below for more details.
  • PEP-3388 - Improved performance when launching Workflows by fixing issues with document processing after clicking the Launch Workflow button.
  • PEP-3307 - Removed all v2 and v4 API’s, and the legacy Control Panel website (/ProntoCP).
  • PEP-3204 - Updated the ability for System-Wide admins to link new top-level Groups to Existing top-level Groups. This allows admins to link/tie Groups together. Please see the images below for more details.
  • PEP-2825 - Added a system-config setting that allows customization of document retention days, minimum and maximum. Location of change: ProntoConfig.ini > PRONTO_MODE > MinimumDocumentRetentionDays=7
    MaximumDocumentRetentionDays=20. Note: if set to 0 or unset the minimum = 0, and if set to 0 or unset the maximum = forever. Please see the image below for more details.

Bug Fixes

  • PEP-3678 - Fixed issue where the GetWorkflows API call would return Workflow Documents with missing Document fields.

Users should be able to switch to other top-level non-account Groups they have assigned permissions to.
