December release 1

Improvements

Query on content items

We have added functionality for querying content items. This makes it possible to search for items which for example have specific content property values.

Business Central

We have added support for using Content Gate within Business Central.

User content property type

We have added User as a new content property type. This makes it also possible to send the notifications to the value of this property.

November release 1

Improvements

Sessions remains active after long periods of inactivity or after browser close.

There was no mechanism to automatically end a session. This has been implemented by setting a one hour limit.

Bugs

No edit permission in SharePoint results in error when adding document

When a user has no edit permissions in the SharePoint library the upload also went wrong. This has been fixed.

Previewer doesn't show PDF drawing correctly

In some cases the pdf viewer didn't correctly show the pdf. This has been fixed.

October release 1

Bugs

Save button stays enabled when details form changes back to original values

When a user property is changed to a new value and then changed back to the original value the save changes button stays enabled. This has been fixed.

Autocomplete field keeps focus on match

When you search for something in an autocomplete field and an item is a 100% match, it will keep focused on that, not allowing the user to scroll beyond. This has been fixed.

File disappears after successful upload

When the business entity has more than 9 key fields the ordering of the fields went wrong because the index of them was sorted alphabetically. This has been fixed.

Improvements

Template notifications

We have added functionality to receive notifications based on content property changes or when a date property is reaching a specific value. This makes it for example possible to receive a notification when a expiry date is due.

September release 1

Only technical improvements

August release 1

Improvements

Sort list of categories alphabetically

We are now sorting the list of categories (when uploading or updating a content item) in alphabetical order.

We have added a top 25 list of galleries linked to a business entity. This list can be found under the reference tab.

July release 1

Only technical improvements

June release 1

Improvements

Performance improvement for bulk queries

Previously when there were entities in the view with multiple providers configured (so called shared entities), the query was not using the bulk query functionality, which made it slower. We have improved this by checking if all the entities have the same provider configured and if that is the case, we use the bulk query.

May release 1

Bugs

Name validator not working in Firefox

The name validator in the admin forms was not working in Firefox. This has been fixed.

Renaming business entity fails

The renaming of a business entity was not working correctly. This has been fixed.

Issue with mapping when multiple entity relations are defined with the same name

When two relations had the same name, the mapping for these relations where merged into one. This has been solved by making the name unique.

Improvements

Original filename as dynamic content option when constructing title

We have added an option to use the original filename in the title of a template.

Use filters in relationship

We have added the possibility to add filters in a relationship. This makes it possible to for example get all related open invoices instead of all the related invoices.

March release 1

Improvements

Content Request status in emails

We have modified the emails which are sent when a request for content is created or updated to include a status which updates automatically whenever the email is opened. This way the recipient can view the current status of a request directly in his email.

Performance improvements

We have made several small performance improvements, which will mostly impact customers with a large number of business entities and/or content items in Content Gate.

February release 1

New features

Extra security check when accessing content

An extra security check is added for all actions on content (create, read, download, update, delete). This check has been enabled by default, but can be disabled in the General Settings -> Security page in the admin section.

For each content item a user tries to access, Content Gate will check if the user has access to at least one of the linked business entities in the Business Entity Connector (F&O/Dataverse). If not, Content Gate will not allow the user to access the requested content.

Improvements

Prevent deleting a used relation

Deleting an existing relation between two entity types is prevented whenever the relation is used in a view.

Bugs

Slashes in entity ids cause errors in Content Gate

An entity id with a '/' in it caused an error in Content Gate. This has been fixed.

External field configuration missing

In some cases the field configuration of added or updated external entities was not loaded. This has been fixed.

January release 1

New features

Select a template when uploading. (This feature is not standard enabled and is behind a feature flag)

It is now possible to select a template when uploading a file, selecting an URL or creating an Expected Content item.

Template name can be used a filter

A new filter has been added so that both in the gallery as in the query can be filtered on the name of the template linked to the content item.

Cross provider (This feature is not standard enabled and is behind a feature flag)

We have added a new way to query over more than one provider. If you want to use both Dataverse and Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations you can use this feature. I requires you use dual write for entities you want to query in both entity providers.

Improvements

Uploading to SharePoint

We have improved the way files are being uploaded to SharePoint which decreased the upload time.

Performance improvements

We made several small performance improvements.

Bugs

SharePoint webhooks

The resync required was supposed to be handled automatically, but there was still a small bug in it. This has been fixed.

Relations to a business entity type are not visible

The relations from/to were not being shown in the references section. When deleting an entity type which has a relation (is related to/from another entity) the error message was not clear. Both have been fixed.

Missing documents

Because of a bug in some cases a new business entity was created when uploading files and so documents got 'lost'. This has been fixed and data has been repaired.

Partition key can vary for the same entity due to casing differences

Due to casing differences the partition key was different causing documents no to show up. This was only an issue when the partitioned search feature is enabled. it has been fixed.
