In short
Among other things in this version:

Added an extra filter option for the number of rows in review components.
Various bugs fixed, such as decimals in conditions and filters on the Start page.
Read below for details on all the changes.
New
-
Notification for new entry in log component
It is now possible to set a notification when a new entry is added to a log component.
Via the notification settings, you can select a log component and choose the filter type “A new entry has been added.” Once the notification is saved, you will receive an alert and/or email (depending on your settings) every time a new entry is added to the log component.
Improved
Optional Page field in Question & Answer
For the Question & Answer component type, the Page field has now been made optional.
Previously, this field was always displayed. Now you can decide whether to use it, just like the Reference field.-
Filter on number of rows in Reviews
At Management > Process transitions > Conditions a new filter option has been added for the Review component type.
From now on, you can check conditions based on the number of rows added in a review component, just like was already possible with the Document component.The available conditions are:
Equal to
Not equal to
Greater than
Less than
Greater than or equal to
Less than or equal to
The value you compare against is numeric. This allows you to configure process transitions even more precisely.
Bug fixes:
Conditions on numeric components with decimals were sometimes not evaluated correctly because the comparison used a comma while the component value used a dot. This has been fixed by formatting both values consistently.
On the Start page, a component filter with multi-select was not cleared after deselecting the field in the column view. As a result, other filters stopped working until you manually clicked Clear filter. This has been fixed: the filter is now automatically cleared.
The eSign button was not displayed if the flow was only set on subprocess statuses, because until now only the main process was checked. As a result, eSign flows could only be set on main process statuses and not on subprocesses. This has been fixed: eSign flows now also work with subprocesses.
In the Library, filtering by Document did not work: entering text had no effect. Other columns, such as Category, also filtered incorrectly or with delay when there was text in the Document filter. This has been fixed: filtering now works directly and correctly.
