What's New

Allow alternate users to complete work items

You can now offer a work item to a different set of people if the work item is not completed within a defined time period. This could be useful, for example, to escalate an important task to a different part of your organization.

You can choose to offer the task to the original recipients or just the new set.

The period of time can be defined in minutes, hours, days or weeks.

Temporary fields in where clause of get a reference calculations

You can now use temporary fields in the where clause of lookup and get reference list calculations.

You can now use temporary fields in the where clause of add to list and remove from list calculations.

You can now add custom type fields to a list.

Application Content View

We've updated the icons in the application designer to better reflect each action and align to the way creators and actions are shown in the app flow viewer.

The application flow now has a cleaner view for applications with actions that are connected to lots of states.

You can now consume data from services that are provided via TIBCO Cloud Mesh using company data service tasks.

TIBCO Cloud Mesh provides the following features:

• Simple - Visual discovery and selection of available services, including search and sort capabilities.
• Seamless - Access to all services within your organization, regardless of who implemented the service, or how they implemented it.
• Secure - Run time service invocations performed with built-in authorization, inherently private to your TIBCO Cloud.
• Shared - Access to services in your related organizations.

You can now consume services via TIBCO Cloud Mesh which contain Boolean and date-time types.

Date-time service data properties are presented with separate date and time mapping pickers. This is supported on input and output.

Boolean service properties can be mapped from and to "true" and "false" text values. This is supported on input and output and you can use 'A specific value' as well as 'text fields'.

Temporary fields in conditional assignment

You can now use temporary fields in conditional assignment calculation conditions.

For example, in an Order app with a list of Orderlines you can find and assign a reference to the first Orderline matching a given condition. You can make conditional assignments to fields within the matching Orderline via the temporary field.

You can now update data in complex list items from either process data or other expressions.

For example, in an Order app with a list of Orderlines you can find and assign a reference to the first Orderline matching a given condition. This allows you to access and update that Orderline's data via the temporary field.

You can now use the Component Explorer to use components to help you build custom apps.

Live Apps Components compliment the API to allow you to easily build custom apps. You can use components to create cases, run case actions and open work items.

Add annotations to process diagrams

You can now add text annotations to process diagrams. You can add up to 1000 characters of text and drag and resize each annotation as needed, which will allow designers to make notes on their designs.

In calculations, you can select specific groups as parameters for conditional assignment, copy, add to list and remove from list functions. You can unset field values using the conditional assignment and copy functions. We’ve added a new “Company Review” template to demonstrate how you might use this feature.

You can now lookup users by their email address so they can be used to dynamically populate participant fields. This will allow your application to have dynamic access control and user task behavior, dependent on case or other input data.

You can now assign data using the following conditions in the where clause of lookup from a list:

• contains any of
• contains at least
• contains only
• contains none of

You can now add individual or multiple items to a list. You can also remove individual or multiple items from a list.

You can now see a graphical view of your application which shows the flow between states and the actions that progress the application between the states.

This provides an overview of the state flow that is configured in the application actions’ state availability and task exit-state configurations within the action editor. You can use the hyperlinks on the actions to open the editor for the action.

You can now specify conditions based on a user's selections from a picklist.

Create a text list in your application data and in the Restrictions properties provide a set of predefined values. In a conditional flow or a calculation task conditional assignment expression, name this list and select one of the following operations. Then select the relevant predefined values to check against.

4 new conditional expressions can be used:

• contains any of
• contains at least
• contains only
• contains none of

This will allow designers to simplify their process design by using these expressions directly in conditional flows or assignments.

You can now use participant User, Group and Weblink fields in copy, conditional assignment and lookup functions.

You can now use copy and conditional assignment to populate lists.
