We are glad to inform you on FossLook version 5.6 release.
The new version has the following new features:
- Administrator and other users in the built-in group "workflow protection settings" now have the ability to protect the workflow and certain route points from modification. Users can specify which attributes of the workflow can be modified and which actions can be performed with the route points. This protection will work as long as the workflow has not been started. Once the workflow is launched - any modification is disabled by default. For more information about the workflows refer to the article "Working with workflows".
- Added a button Copy attachments into the task on the task toolbar, which lets users to copy attached files from the document into the task. This feature can be useful when working with document approval. In this case, the original attachment remains unchanged, and the changes that users make will be stored in the copied file of the task.
- Now, every user can create his own library of documents using FossLook Client.
- Using FossLook Administrator you now have the ability to remove the objects directly from the database, using the context menu commands, called on the selected objects. Also, you can select multiple objects to be deleted. With this feature, for example, the administrator now can easily remove unwanted messages from the common department mailboxes in the database and so on.
- FossLook users now have a specific document type called "Recurring tasks" with which you can configure periodic reminders about some events, jobs and so forth. Recurring tasks are created in the appropriate folder.
Or on a corresponding document tab.
You can select several types of recurrency patterns:
