Some interesting new functionality arrives this June, like the SendGrid and HubSpot integrations and a very important new workflow task to call web services, but there is more and the usual maintenance stuff as we keep enhancing the project.

Features/Implementor

  • load default email template per origin module. For some time now we have had the Users_Default_Send_Email_Template global variable to load a default email template per user, now we can load a different template depending also on the module we are in, so we can have a default template for Invoice emails and another one for Accounts emails.
  • merge Email templates with mixed legacy and workflow syntax
  • new Workflow task to execute a REST web service call and update some fields in the application. A VERY powerful task. Thanks Lorida
  • support default values for individual taxes on product/service

Tax defaults

Developer

  • permit executing manual/system workflows even if they are not immediate (so emails are sent directly not queued)
  • migrate uitype 76 (Potential capture on Quotes and Sales Orders) to the generic uitype 10 in order to standardize the code and user experience
  • update Service Worker from the discontinued sw-precache to workbox this fixes some issues using the application on mobile apps
  • set "last start" and "end time" methods to manipulate execution time dynamically
  • add Decision Table map XSD validation
  • add support for .service files in Console validation
  • add 'corebos.popup.footer' event to Popup window which is used by our Colorizer extension to show colored elements now in the popup too

Translations

A long time ago we added the possibility to translate coreBOS from within the application. This month we clean up the project and adapt it to the latest translation recommendations (using the xx_xx.custom.php file).

  • post translations for big language files
  • incorrect filter option
  • use the complete set of translation strings for modules
  • use latest translation functionality to get translations
  • write new translations to custom file

Sendgrid

  • email sending and notification driver

HubSpot

We complete the release of the Hub Spot integration. You can get some information here

GenDoc

  • in the GenDoc Labels extension, you can now copy the label to the clipboard simply clicking on the row
  • the GenDoc extension has the functionality to save the merged document in the Documents module. The folder where the document is saved is defined by the GenDoc_Save_Document_Folder global variable. Now this variable uses the correct module context to obtain variable where to save merged documents so we can have different folders per module.
  • support for cbCompany entity
  • map Organization tags to cbCompany module
  • convert checkbox to LDS toggle in direct compile page
  • apply LDS to GenDoc direct merge pages
