Whats New in v14

New Features

 

Add New Static List Values on The Fly

New functionality to add new items for a static list index field list on the fly while filling out the profile. Only authorized users with “Edit Profile” system level right will be able to add new values. This greatly improves the consistency of data input by end users and thereby consistency in folder and file names when used in conjunction with automatic filing and naming rules.

Theme
 

Customized Column Inheritance  

New folders created will now inherit the customized column settings of their parent folder. This will allow folders created automatically through folder templates or Profile rules to be consistent with the desired columns throughout the subfolder structures.  

 

 

API Add-on

Extended API functionality by adding new API calls for:  
 

Searching for files with Profile and Index field values.    
 

Enhanced 'Newfile' API call, which introduces a different approach. This updated API allows file uploading with a file stream in addition to the regular query string. All field values, excluding the file stream, should be passed as a query string, while the file stream itself is passed as HttpContent.

 

 
Enhancements

Improved Barcode Recognition Functionality:

oGreatly improved the quality of barcode detections for 2D barcodes like QR Code, Datamatrix and PDF417.  

oPreviously, selecting more than two types of barcodes for recognition could result in errors.  Specifically, when both Datamatrix and QR code were selected together. With the latest update, this issue has been resolved.

Enhanced the UI resolution of both the Docsvault client and server applications when scaling is enabled.

PDF viewer and editor will retain selected page layout mode (Single Page vs Continuous) between sessions. 

 

Implemented horizontal scroll bar functionality in both the web and desktop clients for the Recycle Bin.

Workflow list is now sorted alphabetically in the context menu.

Advanced Import now supports negative values represented by "-" in CSV files for amounts.  

Increased file size limit for importing files from Advanced Import and Watch Folder.

Reorganized the list of Document Status (flags) alphabetically in the right click (context) menus.

Implemented the feature to retain the position of the desktop client application in dual monitor settings.

Increased the recipient email input length to 250 characters in the 'Alert' section of the 'Property' form.

Enhanced the dynamic file and folder naming conversion using the index values. New folders created will not have a period in the end even when the source index value has one.

Users can now manually input the backup/restore location in the "Location" box within the backup/restore option of the Server Manager.

It is now possible to manually input the export path in Server Manager > Export.

Desktop Client application will now remember the bottom panel size in the 'My Workflow' section.

 

Changes

Change in Drag and Drop Behavior:

oThe behavior for drag and drop has been updated to maintain focus on the source location, rather than shifting focus to the destination location after completion of the drop operation.
 

MS SQL Server:

oNew Docsvault installations will now install SQL 2022 Express edition by default. Users can still choose to use their own SQL Database 2014 and above servers.  
 

PDF iFilter for Full Text Search
Docsvault won’t install Adobe PDF iFilter by default during initial configuration. All modern Windows OSes now come with a PDF iFilter built in and is a recommended choice.  

 

Change in automatic scheduler for Backup, Email Reminder and Export Jobs:

oDocsvault will execute backup operations without impersonation, meaning they will run as the SYSTEM user. This helps in situations where user’s password change breaking the backup tasks execution.  

oDocsvault default timing for scheduler can be directly changed from Windows Task Scheduler.

oScheduled Export tasks will run as SYSTEM user as well and its schedule can be edited directly from Windows Task Scheduler.

Resolved freezes experienced in expanding folders in the Web Client when a lot of folders were expanded too quickly.
