Say Hello to Aurachain v3.11.0 – Release Notes
Aurachain low-code platform v3.11.0. is ready to go and the platform is waiting for you to build more powerful apps. Include face/ID recognition stages in your processes, take advantage of enhanced connectivity with external systems, and give your end-users an improved and autonomous sign-up experience with the new self-registration.
As always, there are also a number of tweaks and improvements under the hood in this version to make your Aurachain experience better than ever before.
Now let’s take a closer look at exactly what this all means.
What’s new?
- Face/ID recognition stages are now possible thanks to a new component in the Interface Builder.
- Enhanced platform connectivity with two new external systems.
- New and improved autonomous sign-up experience for end-users.
- Streamlined dynamic document creation with an easier configuration of large tables and lists in the Document Builder.
- New additions to improve your overall user experience within the platform.
Capture User Images & Videos for Face/ID Recognition
Our Interface Builder has received a couple of new additions, the most noteworthy being a new user interface component for those business cases that require face/ID recognition. The new component facilitates the capture of images and videos with the user’s available cameras.
Here you can take a picture or capture a short video using your webcam and upload it using the UI’s attachment system.
Enhanced Platform Connectivity with Oracle and MySQL Databases
Two brand-new integrations are available within the Aurachain platform’s Global Data Model that will enable connections between your apps and Oracle and MySQL databases.
The integrations can be easily managed from the “Integrations” page and, once the integrations are created, it allows application builders to retrieve data from these external sources and represent them as Global Data Model entities.
New Autonomous Sign-Up for End Users
Users of your apps can now self-enroll and you can even tailor the enrolment process to your needs. You can fully automate it, tap into other systems or include manual approvals. It’s completely up to you.
In order for an application to be able to enroll users, it must be given access to a privileged Users API by an admin. To do so, we’ve introduced a new tab to the Admin interface called “System APIs”. Here, administrators can enable access to one or more methods related to user creation. In the future, we plan to introduce more such System APIs to support the creation of more powerful applications.
Once the Users API (or other System APIs added in the future) are enabled for an application, the selected methods are automatically imported into the application. They will appear on a new, dedicated “Internal APIs” tab on the application’s APIs page.
The app creator can call these methods using “Call API” tasks or buttons just like regular APIs. Just like regular applications, such enrollment applications can collect data from an “External start” or via interfaces assigned to Human or External tasks.
Admins can also connect one of these enrollment applications to a public “Create new user” button displayed on the login page. This will prompt the user for an e-mail address, and then start the respective application with that e-mail as a system variable.
Configure Large Tables & Lists with the New ‘Repeatable Block’
The new repeatable block means you can now configure a table with a large number of columns or a list with multiple attributes to be displayed in a more readable way in the generated document.
- For each table/list row a sequential content block will be created.
- The repeatable block can contain text, dynamic variables (data model& system), table, dynamic table, characters, images, conditional blocks and other repeatable blocks, and can be formatted using all the existing options.
- The repeatable block can be edited or deleted as per user need.
- Several configurations can be made to sort and filter the displayed data or to display the position for each block in the list.
Under the Hood Updates
As always, the new version comes with a range of under the hood updates and improvements. You might not see them, but you will feel the quality of life improvement while using the Aurachain low-code platform.
- Several performance improvements to the way Global Data are consumed.
- Improvements in how you save data and how that respective data is persisted across the platform.
- Upgrades within the Document Builder module allowing you to have an overall better user experience.
- Improved existing components within the User Interface Builder module.
