Aurachain v3.7.2 – Release Notes
RELEASE DATE: 21 – July – 2020
In our endeavor to bring you all the best possible updates and functionalities, we are delighted to announce our mid-season release that proves working from home has only fueled our engines more than ever.
We have spent the beginning of the summer hunting a few bugs and we are proud to say that we got them all tamed.
Also, on a more serious note, we have improved the stability and overall performance of the platform.

Language preferences
The language preferences can now be changed from the “My Account” section.
We improved the catalog section:
- Catalog column names will start with capital letters from now on;
- Values added within a column will be validated against the already set-up column data type;
Reusable bundles of elements
The User Interface builder received a much-awaited functionality in the form of reusable bundles of elements that we are calling “Fragments”
- Fragments are collections of elements that you can maintain in a central location and reuse throughout the User Interface Builder when creating interfaces.
- Changes made to a fragment are automatically pushed out to every individual instance of that fragment in the application;
Notification editor replaced by a more powerful text editor
The old notification editor was replaced by the more powerful text editor that was also implemented in Document Builder:
The external task can be set up to generate a dynamic no of tasks
The External task got a very nice update. From now on it can be set up to generate a dynamic number of tasks.
- Meaning that the system will generate different tasks for different users in contrast to the previous implementation that was based on a “first come first served” type of approach. Now anyone assigned to a certain task can and should resolve it.
- Tip: ask our support wizards about this feature before using it, to fully understand how it works.
The application list is now available on mobile devices
The new interface is fully responsive in order to offer users the best navigation experience possible.
Deadline and Expiration behavior have been redesigned & their functionalities enhanced to better answer your business requirements
- Deadline and Expiration behavior will be configured together in the same UI – side-modal, for each “Diagrams” building block, if applicable.
- It is much easier to understand, at a glance, that the expiration behavior is configured to control what happens to a task when the assignee has not completed it within a set amount of time.
- The new and improved Deadline and Expiration behavior is also applied for Task rules, Outcomes & assignees and Approval Matrix Level settings.
- Only Expiration behavior will be configured to control what happens to the Exposed API if it is not completed in a set amount of time.
The Data Model audit from Process Inspector got a smart feature implemented since the last release note
- Newly added, edited and/or deleted lines in the Data Model will be visible and highlighted in the data model Audit.
- New added classes & fileds in the data model will be highlighted in Process Inspector’s data model audit UI.
- New deleted classes & fileds in the data model will be highlighted in Process Inspector’s data model audit UI.
A new variable named “Process Definition ID” was added in the data model variable selector
A new variable named “Process Definition ID” was added in the data model variable selector in order to call Aurachain APIs, which require this exact “Process Definition ID”.
Users can be created just by the tenant admin uploading a list of users
After receiving the new account confirmation email the listed users will proceed to onboard themselves in the platform.
The system will cover all necessary validations at user list upload in the platform, for example:
- Email addresses are mandatory.
- Invalid email addresses are skipped during invite.
- Email addresses already present on Aurachain are considered invalid and skipped during invite.
- Lists with invalid data can still be used for invites by skipping incorrect emails.
SAML – Identity provider has the ability to logout users from the platform
When the users log out of the identity provider (for example, they log out of Azure Active Directory), the identity provider will automatically log them out of Aurachain too.
Tasks can now be exported in an excel file from the Reports module of any application
More extensive reports can be built from now on based on the app instances that can be exported.
Interesting fact: this functionality takes into account any filters applied to the report’s module;
File hash generation upon document upload
The system will generate for uploaded files or/and generated documents the respective document/file hash.
- The document hash is essentially a process that translates information about the file into code. This could be used to compare two files/documents against each other to see if they are the same or not.
