Introducing Fluig Forms BETA – a brand new form editing experience

Creating new features on Fluig to help your company go digital is what we’re all about. These small drops of technology can help you create solutions to carry you through your digital journey. 

After listening to our customers and their pressing need for new features that do not require extensive technical know-how, we launched the fluig Forms BETA model.

The new and fully redesigned form editor offers many advantages and user-friendly features that will surprise you. Check it out:

Drag, drop and start editing!

We created new elements that can be dragged and dropped onto the Forms Beta screen to be edited and filled on your forms quickly and easily, just like you always wanted. Need more than one column? No problem! Need to use tabs and sessions? It’s just a click away. Want to add an image to illustrate something?  Drag and drop! Learn more about the new form elements.

This is just the first step of the form update process! 

The word BETA means that this release will be a test run to polish our developments and implement new features, making the new form editor even better and creating a wide range of solutions within the platform. It also means that it will have all of our support and improvement efforts.

Some scenarios are still not covered in this phase, so you still won’t be able to use fluig Forms in your processes. We’ve been working very carefully to make this the ultimate experience to create forms in our platform. We’re counting on your support by sharing your opinions with us, and we’ll make sure we’re on the right track and do our best to meet your expectations. We’ve prepared a survey for those of you that are testing the new version.

But don’t worry: the previous form editor is still available and working as usual, and the integration between the form and the process is still the same, with no impact to the developments you’ve already made on the platform.

Manage form records with just a few clicks! 

We have taken your platform forms to a whole new level. You can now manage them quickly and easily, saving even more time.

With the new Registrations Widget, you can view, create, edit, add and delete form records much more dynamically, so you don’t have to browse through folders when managing them and you can create new interactions with your users.

For example, you can create a list of franchises and their contact information in your community of sales representatives. Simply create your form, edit your community page and add the Registrations Widget to the form.

This puts all of the main actions just a few clicks away. Check out this brand new feature!

Create, edit, and now export too!

We’ve considered the full cycle of information, so in addition to creating, editing and viewing your pages, you can now export data from your form to a spreadsheet and create analyses based on this data.

Easy document sharing!

Need to share a document with someone who doesn’t have a fluig account? Your wish is granted! The External Sharing feature makes the document sharing process much easier.

You can share the document externally, generating a public link to access it from anywhere... Pretty easy, right? But remember, this option must be set in the document’s properties in order to use this feature.

Portal

Use images and videos to make your company portal more engaging!

We all know that a portal must be engaging, up-to-date and easy-to-use in order to be successful in the work environment. That’s why we made it easier to add media files to platform pages.

Simply use the Content Editor Widget to post the images and videos saved on your computer directly to the portal. Check out the video and see how simple it is:

A portal like this makes you want to show it to everybody, right? That is also much easier now!

We created the concept of public documents because we understand the importance of public portals when a company shares information with its customers and partners – without requiring more registrations, logins, and passwords.

After posting an image in the Content Editor widget, you can now set it as a public or private document. Public documents are visible to anyone accessing the page, while only authenticated users can view private documents.

To learn which documents are public, check if the icon has a globe: 

Exporting pages has never been so quick

We always recommend our customers to use a development environment where they can test page creation on the platform, without risking an impact on other users’ workflow. This good practice provides security and predictability to the projects in development.

Sometimes, however, migration of developed components from the acceptance test environment to the production environment can become costly for administrators. To mitigate this situation, we are providing you with a new way of exporting pages between servers.

Register different servers in the development environment and send the new and updated pages to other facilities with just a few clicks and directly via the platform - without having to install anything!

BPM

More security when viewing your process

Different processes require different levels of security. This is why we have made the permissions within processes even more complete, in response to requests from our customers that need to guarantee the total security of their processes. Now it is enough to configure in the process the permission of those who can view it even though they did not participate in the process. This will be very useful for processes where only certain people can view it. For example, in a hiring process, only the HR area needs to track and consult requests that have been opened, thus being inaccessible to other employees. To do this is simple. First, edit your process, where you will need to create a new version of it. After that, configure the public option shutdown of the process configuration, so everyone who did not participate in the process will be prevented from querying the requests. Then, in the process listing, configure the Permissions column by creating an RH group in the list. Finally, release the version of the process. Ready, you will have the security you want in your process!

Attachment rules - Create without code

We already understand! Security is vital to your business, and creating security for attachments in your process activities is also a priority. The new Attachment Rules tab has been specially modeled to allow or restrict the inclusion of attachments by types, names, and / or quantities. Attachment rules are events that will occur in moving from one activity to another, and may occur in normal activities or start-up activities.

For a more fluid block drive!

Our customers loved being able to move their processes in block. This brings agility and productivity. Now at Waterdrop, it got even more fluid. Previously the movement of activities was interrupted if one or more activities presented inconsistency. And it was hearing our customers that we brought this news. Now when moving block activities, if one of the requests has some type of error, all other requests that have not been inconsistent will be moved without interruption. At the end, the summary of the movements brings the status of activities that have been successfully moved and which have not been successful so that they can be verified. Pretty cool huh?

Manually executed service activity is a hand on the wheel!

Do you have Jobs from service activities caught in your environment? So pay attention to this news. From now on, process managers will have a second chance to run those jobs and move the request without requiring technical juggling. Simply access the task center in the stopped requests and click Send, the Job will be triggered immediately and a message will be presented, requesting confirmation of the movement of a scheduled activity.

Now it has become much easier to cancel requests!

If you need to cancel requests but were ever lost where to do this? Stay tuned, because now it has become much more intuitive. In the "Tasks to complete" and "Tasks under my management" tabs, it will now be possible to cancel a request by moving. That is, if you are a user who initiated the request or a process manager, when selecting and opening the request, on the arrow next to the Send button, we will have, among the options, the Cancel request option. Simply trigger the option to cancel request, give the reason for the cancellation and ready, your request is canceled immediately.

List tasks brings news to ensure optimization of your process!

When moving a process in the List Jobs feature, it was previously necessary to fill in the Status field on the form to reject or complete the activity before sending. From now on, a new flow is available and consists of much simpler and more intuitive actions. Right after selecting the process in the task center, just push the button Send and a new screen will be displayed. In it, you can view the process graph and select the Rejected or Finished options. Since the selected option is green in the graph, showing exactly the user the option that was chosen. After that, just send it and that's it. Another novelty is the Task List process in Approval, which was previously not configured to be used in the Application, and is now available and allows requests to be approved. Check out these news and let your process move much more smoothly!

LMS

A new evaluation experience to surprise your users!

Answering evaluation questions – in most cases – gets you nervous, doesn’t it? That is why we have improved the evaluation process and made it more comfortable – or less tense ;) – offering you more usability and practicality, as well as a much more pleasant, user-friendly layout.

You can now drag alternatives to sort them, connect the alternatives to relate them, and move the value scales much more accurately, among other actions that are much more dynamic. Felt like taking some evaluations, huh?

It’s up to you: allow or not allow registrations from the history?

Don’t you wish you could request registration in tracks and training courses from the user’s history?

Well, now it’s up to you: via the Allow registration requests in the history of tracks and training courses option – in Tracks and training settings – you can set whether or not to allow users to request a new registration in a completed item from viewing it in the history.

Integration

Integration Wizard - Create Datasets from REST Services

It is innovating that we bring you the ease in integrating the components, which you both need on a daily basis. And with that in mind, we've brought you a new generation of Datasets for you. After creating the possibility of generating Datasets from JDBC and SOAP services, it is now also possible to create from REST services. As a requirement for REST services, it must be exposed by the swagger. Therefore, when creating a new service of type REST in the Services feature, it will be requested to include a valid swagger address so that, when creating Dataset, we have access to the definition of the return data.

Access View and Synonym in your database queries

Our customers loved being able to query the database by launching Snowflake. With that, we received dozens of opinions on how we could improve your queries. Therefore, when creating a new Dataset with JDBC type service, in addition to the existing Table type, we can now also refer to the new View and Synonym types. Novelty that provides lightness and practicality for your integration activities, for the most different types of bank structures.

Architecture

Updated indexing engine brings benefits for your platform

We’ve got great news for you! The indexing engine has been updated and now features improved security and performance, and optimized resources. Revisions were also made to improve the rate, achieving a reduction of over 50% in used disk space compared to previous versions. There’s more, high availability configuration has also evolved and now it allows registration of more addresses, providing redundancy in case of failure in one of the services.

Stay tuned because at first startup, after updating fluig Waterdrop, a full indexing will automatically run so you can enjoy all these improvements. And the cool thing about it is that this procedure will be performed in the background, allowing the use of other platform features.

No more support for the MySQL 5.5 database with fluig

As of this update, the MySQL database 5.5 version is no longer supported by the fluig service team. This means that you must update your MySQL database, because the Waterdrop update (1.6.4) will be interrupted if a non-approved version is identified in the database. 

Still using the auxiliary cache service configured in fluig?

If the answer is Yes, you can now release this feature because it’s no longer needed. The fluig cache is now controlled and synchronized through the database, which is also shared between all nodes (cluster) in cases of load balancing and high availability, in addition to having a direct connection to fluig in cases of simple installations. And best of all, you don’t need to configure any settings to disable it!

Save in your fluig platform infrastructure getting rid of tools such as MemCached or Redis because they’re gone for good!
