Laserfiche News
What is The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Laserfiche
The Artificial Intelligent assist feature in Laserfiche uses AI to help users write and troubleshoot regular expressions in Laserfiche Forms. On the right side of the Regular Expression field in Forms Designer, users can click on the button and enter what they want to happen in plain English and AI will generate what is being asked for in code. An explanation of the code will also be returned explaining the code in plain English. This is just one example of generative AI that Laserfiche is working on, in the coming weeks and months Laserfiche will be adding more AI possibilities to Laserfiche Cloud.
What’s New in Laserfiche Cloud
Expanded Regional Settings Support – New regional settings enhancements have been added, including improved translations for Spanish and French, as well as the ability to control regional settings such as language, time zone, and date formats. These features have been released for the sign-in page, the app picker, the repository, public portal, direct share, the tasks inbox, forms submissions, and process reports, and will be expanded to administrative and process designer portions of Laserfiche Cloud in the future.
Administrators can set a default language and region for their organization in the Settings section of the Account Administration page. In addition, users can configure their own language and region settings in My Account.
Public Portal Update – Public Portal now follows your account-configured repository display name so that the repository name is displayed in a more friendly and understandable way.
Web Client Updates – URLs stored in text metadata fields will now be clickable, allowing users to easily navigate to linked pages directly. The web client will now support streaming MKV files for Chrome & Edge.
In-app Feedback Update – The In App Feedback tool, where Laserfiche users can share product feedback and suggestions, now supports the ability to attach files or images with feedback.
