Release Notes

This release addresses a couple of things:

1. It improves the speed at start-up in high latency environments by reducing the number of server calls – both for M-Files Web as well as M-Files Client.
2. Accessing and interacting with the tree of views has been completely overhauled – both in the ‘Save and Configure’ and the central ‘Command’ dialog.
   • Now supporting access to virtual folders much more broadly
   • Grouped views (by boolean, by number, properties, object type, time stamp, year, year and month)
   • Aggregate functions are supported
     Limits: The aggregate function ‘DayFrom/DayTo’ and ‘views in virtual folders’ are not supported.
3. ‘Navigate to’ command: You now can select ROOT in the view tree and create a ‘navigate’ command for it. This was not possible before.
4. M-Files Web: New optional behavior for more speed and more flexible use in M-Files Web, in the configuration: ’WebAccessDefaultSVGPreview = True/False’ Default is false.
   
   Allows to show the SVG version of a map (which is much faster and less demanding). SVG preview of maps now shows a “Make Interactive” button which then allows to switch from to full interactive map preview and then provides the preview toolbar.
   This option helps to further reduce the server load at start up. Furthermore, the full number of map tabs is supported with SVG preview. In this mode there is no more restriction to only one map tab.
   Note: The SVG is shown “as is”. It does not zoom to an initial viewport and it scales only by page width as defined in the map.
5. M-Files Client: SVG preview now offers a “Make Interactive” Button. This can help to further reduce the loading time – especially for often accessed home tabs.
6. New configuration flag to disable the Printer Icon: ‘DisablePreviewPrint’
7. Rendered SVG will now include a set background in color.

Other FIXES

• Fixes the inability for placeholders to be used with labels.
• Fixes an error, where workflow maps were not updated in M-Files Web, when selecting another object in the view.
• Fixes an error in the ‘Create New Object from Template’ command.
• Fixes an error, where the ‘Jump to Outside Anchor’ command did not allow to adress a viewport in another map.
• Fixes an error, where pasted images were replaced, when they carried a command which pointed to a map.

Notes

• This version includes VAF 2.108
• This vault application is not configured for use in Multi-Sever-Mode.
• Even though the default for the configuration flag ‘WebAccessDefaultSVGPreview’ is false, we highly recommend to enable it with larger user communities.
