Webcam capture tool, document list view, workflow delete event, module tabs, tooltip, many global variables,... this is unstoppable!!

filter emails by user

Settings clean up

Eliminate Announcements from settings, by creating the Application_Announcement global variable

Eliminate Backup, Customer Portal, and Webform which you can access now as normal modules from the menu or using module manager

Photo2Document extension

A nice little utility tool that permits you to add a webcam capture widget on any module in order to directly capture the image from the webcam into a document that will be automatically belated with the record.

This is ideal and very easy when you need to capture client ID or visit cards, for example.

Have a look at this video for a small tutorial on how to setup and use

A small aggregation of currency fields in list views. The system will detect currency fields that appear in a list and automatically sum the values that are visible.

Documents normal list view

In coreBOS installations with a lot of documents and folders, it gets extremely slow to access the document list view as the folder view first extracts and orders all the folders and then all the documents inside each one.

In these installs, it is better to have documents as a normal list view like all the other modules, so we add the Document_Folder_View global variable for you to be able to activate one view of the other.

Business Maps

Related panes business map permits us to configure new tabs on the detail view of any module. We can put inside the new pane any block or related list thanks to another important enhancement we add to the system which is to permit blocks and related lists everywhere.

We can now mix field blocks and related lists in any order on any tab/pane view.

related panes on accounts

related list in layout editor

invoice related list on accounts

Workflow "On Delete" event

We add a new event to the workflow system that permits configuring some workflow tasks when a record is deleted.

Not all workflow tasks are supported by this event. For example, we cannot launch an update field task because the record doesn't exist anymore but you can send emails and some other tasks.
