Published Release Notes

New themes in App Studio

New themes in App Studio determine the default colors for elements in your user interface, such as buttons and links, as well as your typography. By selecting a theme in App Studio, you can quickly apply a consistent style to your application and save development time by not having to edit the application skin in Dev Studio.

For more information, see Changing your theme.

Select or edit a label format at run time

At run time in App Studio, when you edit a control, you can now select a new label format for the control or edit the currently selected label format. This change provides you with the flexibility to update control labels in real time as you process cases.

For more information, see Styling controls at run time.

Manage and visualize application data with the Integration Designer

Use the Integration Designer to manage data at the application level and to access a comprehensive view of all data objects in your application with their associated data. Additionally, from the Integration Designer, you can create data objects and map them to other objects and to systems of record.

For more information, see Managing application data with the Integration Designer.

AJAX container to host work items and harnesses

The new AJAX container can be used to host work objects, harnesses, or documents. The AJAX container provides design flexibility and improves the user experience by accelerating page loading. You can add the AJAX container from the Layout menu when you edit a section in a dynamic layout.

For more information, see AJAX container provides flexible display for work items.

Support for inline helper text for editable form fields

You can now configure inline helper text for editable form fields. The helper text is always visible on the form, and you can style the text to override the helper-text CSS class in the Override CSS file in the skin.

Providing helper text in editable form fields helps users complete forms more quickly and efficiently.

For more information, see Adding a Text Input control.

Unauthenticated sessions transition seamlessly to authenticated

A new authentication service type allows a guest user to use an application without logging in, and to be prompted to authenticate later in the session. This enhancement supports scenarios such as online shopping portals where a user can browse for items and load a shopping cart as a guest but be prompted for credentials at checkout.

For more information, see Configuring an anonymous authentication service.

Visualize application layers for case processes and sections

In App Studio, you can now easily visualize the application layers for case processes and sections, including work areas and views. When you click the Discover gadget for a case process or section, you are shown a visual representation of the application layers. You can open a layer in Dev Studio to see the rulesets and other attributes of an application.

For more information, see Discover gadget.

Reuse when conditions when designing cases in App Studio

Reuse existing conditions to save time when you design a case in App Studio. Now you can use an existing when condition when you create a condition for a stage in your workflow. You can also define custom when conditions and save them for future use.

For more information, see Defining conditions with a condition builder.

Support for the POST method in Integration Designer

From Integration Designer, you can now source data from any REST endpoint that requires a POST method to retrieve information. With the POST method, you can encrypt sensitive information in the body of the request.

For more information about using the POST method, see the POST method section on Service REST form - Completing the Methods tab.

Analyze decision components with simulation tests

Gain a better understanding of how strategy components influence decision outcomes by using decision funnel explanations. By running simulation tests with the new Decision funnel explanation purpose, you can now break down the results of a decision funnel into granular analyses to assess how certain components and expressions influence the overall outcome.

For more information, see Interpret the decision funnel with simulation tests.
