Dear Customers,
In our ongoing dedication to constant enhancement and ensuring optimal performance of our solution, we're thrilled to unveil the latest round of product updates.
Upgrading to the new Desktop experience
The new M-Files Desktop is the primary focus for all future features and is the recommended client moving forward. Transitioning requires the use of the gRPC protocol. While gRPC is enabled by default in our cloud offering, on-premises customers need to take certain steps to enable it. Please read How to transition to the new M-Files Desktop to help assess your environment and to find easiest path to transition.
New Features and Enhancement highlights:
- New M-Files Desktop and Web: Visual Workflows improvements.
- Workflow descriptions: It is now possible to give descriptions to workflow states. This allows a more intuitive way for users to know what is expected of them at any state in the workflow
- Technical states: Certain states are only meant for automatic transitions (e.g. calculations and automation) and don't really have any information for the users. These states can be marked as technical states, so they don't appear on the UI when looking at the workflow history on Visual Workflows.
- Workflow descriptions: It is now possible to give descriptions to workflow states. This allows a more intuitive way for users to know what is expected of them at any state in the workflow
- New M-Files Desktop and Web: Search filtering improvements. The Search filter pane in the Search view has been updated to enhance accessibility. Users can now multi-select from all options in the filter criteria and type to narrow down the options. This improvement makes it easier for users to find and select the desired filters.
