Laserfiche Cloud November 2025 Updates

The Laserfiche Cloud November 2025 update includes the following updates.

Watch an overview of the updates here:

Smart Fields with Classification

Smart Fields with Classification is an enhancement to Smart Fields that automatically selects the best-fit template for your document as part of AI-assisted metadata population. Now, when you use Smart Fields to automatically extract metadata, you no longer need to first know the right template to apply. Laserfiche AI can choose it for you, whether you’re triggering Smart Fields manually or via automation. Smart Fields with Classification simplifies and speeds up metadata extraction helping classify your documents and apply metadata with fewer clicks and less guesswork.

To set up Smart Fields with Classification, repository administrators can mark new or existing templates eligible for automatic selection in template properties or the template designer. Check the box labeled "Eligible for automatic selection with Smart Fields" and provide a natural language description of your template. It will be added to the set of templates considered during future automatic selection actions. If you want to view all templates eligible for automatic selection, you can filter the template list to only show eligible templates. Once set up, automatic selection can take place manually or through automation. Users will see a new button when viewing templates in the Repository Web Client details pane. Clicking this button triggers Laserfiche AI to automatically select the best-fit template for your document from among the set of eligible templates. If a fit is found, it will be assigned to the document, and any smart fields will be automatically extracted. To apply the template and extracted fields, click Save.

To automatically select templates for multiple documents or to access automatic selection via automation applications like Workflow or Import Agent, choose the < Automatically select template > option in the template list. When this option is saved, the best-fit template will be selected for each document, and, if present, smart fields will be extracted automatically.

Smart Chat Enhancements

Smart Chat is an AI chatbot that answers questions from both Laserfiche Cloud education resources and your own repository documents, allowing you to discover information and insights faster and more easily than ever before. In this release we’ve added important enhancements to Smart Chat’s capabilities.

Smart Chat can now answer educational resources questions anywhere Smart Chat is available, including the Repository browser, document viewer, and search results pages. In the past, using Smart Chat in these locations was limited to questions about repository documents only. This enhancement allows users to ask a wider range of questions, including those that combine information from educational resources and your repository documents.

Smart Chat is also now available in more locations in Process Automation. In the past, Smart Chat was available only in that module’s Workflow Designer and Business Process Designer pages. Smart Chat can now be found in all Process Automation list and landing pages, including Rules, Data Management, Integrations, Teams, and more.
