Decision history directly in the viewer
Starting with this DocuWare version, you can easily track which decisions have been made about a particular document in a workflow, to whom it is currently assigned, and at what point in the workflow the document is currently located.
The new decision history can be found in the sidebar of the viewer. It shows all decisions made during a workflow on a document and can also be retrieved retroactively for documents that have been completed.
You need the "View Document History" right to open the decision history in the viewer.
You can open the decision history via the button in the top bar. The entries are sorted chronologically from youngest to oldest.
Secure oAuth2 Authentication for Third-Party Applications
With DocuWare version 7.11, oAuth2 authentication is required for third-party applications to log in to DocuWare. Cookie authentication is no longer possible for security reasons. If you are using third-party applications that still use cookie authentication, you will need to upgrade them to version 7.11 before upgrading. Your DocuWare Partner will be happy to support you. For more information, see our announcement with FAQ section.
Register applications now
In the course of the changeover, you can also register your third-party applications for oAuth2 authentication with DocuWare. For this purpose, the new "App Registration" component is available in the DocuWare configuration. It is currently optional, but at a later date the registration of applications will be mandatory to further increase security.
