1st September 2022

Bugfixes

  • fixed an issue that caused a document with an applied workflow in a Comala Publishing configured target space to be published to another (un-configured) space when the applied workflow on the document in the target space was transitioned to the final state

23rd August 2022

Bugfixes

  • fixed a problem preventing email notifications from being sent for an approval with assignees if one or more of the assignees were invalid (for example the user account is disabled; the user does not have view permission)

  • resolved an issue when using the Quality Management System Workflow that stopped email notifications from being sent to any valid recipients on transition to the In Approval state if one or more of the added user values for the "Document User Reviewers" or "Document Group Reviewers" parameters were invalid

Update

  •  error handling and logging improvements

Bugfixes

  • security improvement limiting permission scopes (adminspace_admin) requested by the app if not required

Bugfix

  • pages were not expiring on the due date unless the page was viewed by a user.  This release expires the content that is due since the release deployment.

 This release will not affect pages with a historic expiration prior to the release date. This is to avoid unforeseen changes in the workflow history of these pages.

  • fixed an error that stopped a due date on pages with a long contentID from expiring

June 1st 2020

What's New?

To better understand what business case our evaluation customers are seeking to achieve when installing Comala Document Control the workflow picker now has the option to select a business use option from a drop-down menu before choosing a workflow to apply.

The workflow picker will then display all the available workflows including any custom workflows. The first workflow displayed in the picker will be prioritized for the chosen business case use. A user can choose the option to Skip the request.

This business use option will be available in our evaluation version each time a workflow is added to the content. It is aimed to help in the development of additionally available workflows and features within the Comala Document Control app.
