ECS Monthly Tips & Tricks

Enabling Auditing on Users and Groups

Laserfiche Audit Trail lets you keep track of what’s going on in the repository. For example, you can see who is deleting documents, modifying metadata, starting business processes, and more. This is how you can enable auditing on specific users and groups.
> On the Management Page, click Users to enable auditing on specific users, or Groups to enable auditing on specific groups.
> Search for the User or Group you want to audit and click it.
> In the Pane on the right, click Auditing. You will see a list of event groups that can be tracked. Actions are grouped into event groups based on the event type (For example, the Export and Print event group includes the Export Briefcase, Export Document, and Print Document actions).
> You can also track if the actions in an event group are performed successfully or if they failed.
> If you want the User or Group to inherit audit settings from the group they belong to, select the Inherit audit settings from group membership option at the top. Otherwise select the check boxes under success and/or failure for the events you want tracked.
> Click Save.

LASERFICHE NEWS & EVENTS

Laserfiche Forms 11 Update 1 and Laserfiche Quick Fields 11 Now Available

Laserfiche Forms 11 Update 1
As part of Laserfiche 11, Forms 11 introduced a new drag-and-drop layout designer experience to more simply put fields side-by-side, adjust fields widths and more. Forms 11 Update 1 brings further enhancements to the latest form designer, as well as security updates, including:

Updates to the new layout designer
> Classic form conversion: Convert forms previously designed with the classic form designer to the more user-friendly form layout designer experience.
> Offline mobile app support: Input data and save form drafts offline via the mobile app to continue working on the go even in areas with limited internet service.
> Expanded lookup capabilities: Fill tables and collections with lookup results as new rows or sets to reduce manual data entry.
> Backend validation: Revalidate form inputs on the backend to make sure they all meet the configured criteria.

Security updates
> Granular access rights for data sources: Manage user access to relevant data sources to maintain information control and enable more flexibility for citizen developers to design and import processes with lookups.
> User lockout for public form drafts: Configure a maximum number of failed sign-in attempts to a public draft before enforcing lockout to prevent unauthorized access.
> High-security mode for running lookups from the DMZ: Perform lookups as part of external forms hosted in the DMZ without directly accessing the internal network by using the routing service as a proxy.

Laserfiche Quick Fields 11
Quick Fields now includes a more streamlined log-in experience with SAML SSO support. Other Laserfiche desktop-based applications, including Scanning, Snapshot and Connector already support SAML with the Laserfiche 11 release.

Coming Soon to Laserfiche Cloud in Q3

> Surveys added to the home screen: Convenient access for citizen developers to design and monitor surveys from the Laserfiche home screen view.
> Use file sets in the new form layout designer: Configure a specific set of relevant files to collect on a form to ease content capture, approvals and compliance. This is useful in processes like new account opening where a specific set of files needs to be uploaded, reviewed or signed by an applicant.
> Classic form conversion: Convert forms previously designed with the classic designer to the latest, more user-friendly form layout designer experience.

Targeted for late Q3/Q4
> Automated task notifications for Microsoft Teams: Speed up process completion times by sending task notifications and approvals directly to Teams chats where they will be more immediately seen and acted upon.
> Project-based Security for Process Automation: More effectively manage access rights based on role or team by defining projects that group related processes, workflows, rules and other process automation resources together.
> JavaScript support for forms: Further customize form appearance and behavior by adding custom JavaScript to forms built using the latest form layout designer.
> Laserfiche API OAuth 2.0 support: OAuth is a SaaS industry-standard protocol that allows secure authorization between applications over the web. OAuth support for the Laserfiche API will enable partners, solution providers and developers to build more secure and robust integrations with Laserfiche Cloud.
> Improved platform performance: On-going backend architecture upgrades will bring an even more powerful, faster and scalable platform that will allow for improved repository search performance and accuracy, even higher uptimes, quicker incident resolution, and more.
