Dynamic Fields Now Support External Lookup

Dynamic fields help keep repository metadata consistent and easier to manage. This month's updates make them even more powerful. Previously, dynamic fields could only use data from static lookup tables. Now, you can configure them with data queries and web request rules to pull live values from external applications in real time. This enables dynamic fields to display field value options that reflect live business data, wherever it's stored. You can also now configure dynamic fields directly in the repository template designer, making it easier to create and manage these connections.

Smart Fields Extraction with Dynamic Fields

Smart Fields can now use list options supplied by dynamic fields to guide metadata extraction. By checking extracted values against the currently available options, Smart Fields can produce more consistent metadata that aligns with an organization's approved data. Organizations can continue managing these options in their existing source without duplicating this information in each Smart Fields prompt.

Expanded Audit Trail Events

Audit Trail now provides broader visibility into security-sensitive and administrative activity across your cloud environment. Administrators can now better review privileged actions, identity-related changes, and account administration activity from a centralized place. This expansion includes teams and project activities, along with account-level security and user events. This enables organizations to extend audit visibility beyond the repository into process automation and account-level operations. With a clearer record of what happened and when, it's now easier to monitor critical account activity and troubleshoot issues for faster investigation and clearer oversight.

Laserfiche Forms App Updates

You can now sign in to the Laserfiche Forms app on your iOS or Android device using fingerprint or facial recognition. Biometric authentication now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) for Laserfiche Cloud, including SAML and AD FS authentication. This update also supports a deep linking feature that lets you open the app directly to a specific form, making it easier to access the right form faster.

Repository API

The Repository API now supports new capabilities for interacting with documents and metadata, including the ability to manage access rights, document annotations, records management, and users' recent documents, starred documents, and personal collections. See the full changelog for more details.

Idle Session Termination

Administrators can now enable idle session timeout to automatically sign users out after a selected period of inactivity. This gives organizations greater control over session security and helps protect information when a signed-in device is left unattended.

New Developer Toolkit for Scripting in Layout Forms

Explore the new LF Form Builder, which includes a toolkit of resources and examples to help you modernize how you build, test, and maintain Laserfiche Forms customizations. Learn more.
