What’s New in Laserfiche Cloud
Form Signature Field Enhancement – Signature fields within the new form designer can now be marked as read-only if they were signed in a previous step in a process. This means a single form can be used across multiple steps while displaying previously signed fields, and without having to render the entire form read-only
Form Date Field Update – We have enhanced date field configuration so users can set dates relevant to when they’re filling out the form. You can set minimum and maximum valid date ranges using options like the current date, day after current date (tomorrow), or relative dates. Additionally, you have control over which dates are selectable within the calendar picker, including specific dates, weekdays only, or custom criteria based on JavaScript functions. Explore our documentation for practical examples and creative ideas.
HTML in Field Settings – Designers can add simple html markup in labels, text below/above fields, and tooltips across all form fields. You can add simple break tags to break up labels, or even add button and input elements wherever you want. Leveraging this new HTML markup, along with HTML events, lets you create a highly customized interface within the Form Sandbox — no custom HTML fields required.
Expanded Workflow Email Attachment Limits – You can now attach more than four attachments in the Email Activity in Workflow. You can attach up to 20 files, with a maximum total size of 25MB for all attachments. Visit our changelog for detail on on all release items this month.
What’s New in Laserfiche Self-Hosted
