Major Changes in version 2.2.0

License

Whenever the number of licensed seats are exceeded, the Module Suite’s licensing manager starts logging a warning message for every operation performed.

Beautiful WebForms Form Builder

FormBuilder has been deeply revised in order to further simplify WebForm views creation.

CHEH Snippets

The feature that allows a Form designer to inject Content Script snippets into CLEH scripts (OnLoad, PreSubmit, OnSubmit) now depends on the widget's configuration itself. In other words, any change applied to the widget's configuration will trigger an equivalent change into the injected piece of Content Script.

This behavior can be disabled either through the “Auto-inject code” switch, displayed at the very top of any widget’s configuration panel or deleting the synchronization hash injected as part of the header of all the CLEH snippets.

Widget Visibility

A simplified widget-visibility rule builder can now be used to determine when a widget should be displayed in the form.

Buttons’ Icons and Colors

Easy to use icon-color selectors have been introduced for button-widgets.

Inline FormTemplate Manipulation

Add functionality that allows Form Template manipulation (add new fields) directly from within the FormBuilder.

New And Updated Widgets

Currency, Include SmartUI Widget, Chart, DocuSign, Handsontable, DropDown DB Lookup, Set ViewParams Variable, View Template Logo, Smart DropDown DB Lookup, Include Script Result, Redirect to URL, Workflow Comments, Custom Action Button, Submit Button With Param

Field default value

Add functionality that allows setting the default value displayed by the form widgets

OnLoad script returns JSON Data

CLEH script management has been modified in order to allow OnLoad script to return JSON data, thus to be used for implementing Ajax-enabled backend services for BWF-widgets (e.g. Handsontable widget).

New Content Script APIs

New Content Script APIs and API extension packages have been released. Collaboration APIs have been extensively revised and simplified. New extension packages include:

DocBuilder

Allow developers to programmatically produce PDF and Word files. The new APIs are accessed through the new “docbuilder” service endpoint, available upon installation of the extension package.

Callback Scripts

Synchronous Callback Scripts are now executed in isolated context (a separate execution context for each script). To switch back to the previous implementation set the 3rd bit of the “amcs.core.debugEnabled” configuration bitmask to one (e.g. amcs.core.debugEnabled=4).
