WorkPath 4.4.0.29 Release Notes

WorkPath Server and WorkPath Desktop

Fixed issue in the PDF conversion code when PDFs are optimized, certain black-and-white images can become inverted when saved to CCITT format internally.

Updated the DocRecord connector code internally to use /auth/credentials URL instead of the just /auth. This is required for connection to DocRecord using single sign-on (whether SSO it is enabled or not. This enhancement is backward-compatible to older versions of DocRecord.

Updated the Work Item Viewer dialog so the dates of the WorkItems can be sorted correctly.

Added the ability to use variables in user assignment in 'Pop-Up'.

NOTE: Any variable names created must use only uppercase letters since it will internally save the names in uppercase format. Otherwise, your new variable names will not match and resolve.

Added the ability to change Window Title on 'Pop-Up Form' and 'Pop-Up Indexer' objects to match 'Pop-Up Message' functionality.

Fixed the Combine Files Object so that the PDF Optimize function now automatically consolidates and compresses resources when copying pages from one PDF to another. They are automatically uncompressed and do no recompress unless the optimization is called on the resultant merged pdf.

Added a new Add PDF Bookmark Object to processes.

Fixed an issue where variables were not being saved in the Bookmark Object Dialog page field.

Fixed an issue where Bookmarks were not getting added to PDF files that that had a null bookmark collection.

Fixed an issue with resize causing control overlap.

Added the ability to set the parent path of a bookmark in a “Document > TopLevel > SubLevel > Etc” format. It will automatically create the parent path structure if it is missing any levels.

Added a Add PDF Bookmark Object to processes.

Database Object Query Editors are now full resizable.

Background color of Process Editor can now be changed.

WorkPath Server

Enhancement allows a “Group License” type to be used for customers with Virtual Desktop Environments where they don’t have a stable MAC address. A new version of the Prism License Manager is available to support it.

• The customer must provide a qualified domain name (such as companyname.local, not just companyname) and a n ActiveDirectory group name that is going to hold the users that will consume licenses.

• The software is licensed by the number of users. Therefore, the number of users in a group must match or be less than number of Licensed users, or else no new users will be able grab a license.

• Prism Software will need to have constant access to that domain and group while running, since it makes periodic checks in the background. If it cannot connect to the AD group, their copy will go unlicensed until it is able to reach the group again.

• If the customer adds new users to a group that exceed the number of licensed users, then no users, except those that were in that group who already grabbed a license will be able to get one. For example, if they license 4 users, and only 3 users have ever grabbed a license when they add a 5th person to the group, then no one can grab that 4th license until the group user count matches or is less than the number of users allowed in the license.

• A user can grab a license key from the “Retrieved License from Web” function in the WorkPath with just the CD-KEY. If it is a Group License type, then it will not be an issue if the stored/generated Product ID does not match the current WPD product ID.

Added the ability to use variables in the Overlay Text in the Auto Redaction Editor.

Add ability for Work Item (Popup) objects to work with Server Processes. Added button that allows the user to see and manage all current Work Items waiting for someone to interact with. Still need to finish a few items and also add the interface parts to WorkPath Desktop. But it is testable just using the WPS Admin.

Added HL7 Object Menu for HL7 related objects – This is only available on the WorkPath Advanced version.

Health Level Seven (HL7) is a set of standards for exchanging, sharing, integrating, and retrieving electronic health information. The following enhancements have added to support HL7 messaging:

• HL7 Message user interface uses a common user control for displaying and interacting with HL7 data. This reduces redundancy and simplifies maintenance. HL7 UI tooltips are provide more information and support Group Segments.

• New HL7 Workflow Objects can accept both HL7 Delimited and XML data. This is dynamically detected. The added HL7 workflow objects are:

  • HL7 Message Creator Object for exchanging and sharing Health Level 7 health records.

  • Set HL7 Value Object sets the value in the HL7 message.

  • Read HL7 Value Object reads the value in the HL7 message.

  • HL7 Data Extractor Object extracts selected items from an HL7 message and turn them into variables.

  • H7 MLLP Sender Object that defines the parameters for the lower layer protocol that is used to exchange HL7 messages. It automatically injects the current Date/Time Stamp into the Message Header if it is not already set in the Message.

• Added H7 MLLP Socket Receiver Input which allows WorkPath Server to receive HL7 messages over MLLP. It will try to parse information from malformed packets to use in the NACK response. It injects two Input variables into the process:

  • HL7MSGControlID - Control ID of the message, if present.

  • HL7MSGData – The entire message data content. No file is sent to the process. Just the variable data above.

  • SendingApp, SendingFacility, and Logging options were added to the MLLP Socket Receiver Input.

• Added CurrentHL7DataTime function to Expression Editor to support the needed format for HL7 messages.

Improved some of the tooltips to show information that was missing on some properties.

Fixed bug on Add Node function in Create Message configuration screen when dealing with nested Segment Groups.

Added the ability to create and send XML via the Rest Connector and also parse XML as a return data type.

Modified CleanUpDirectory code so more known internal directories are added by default that match the new executable name paths. Also added logging that write to the Server log if an error occurred.

Added Get Image Tag Information object that will extract the EXIF and GPS data from an image (TIFF or JPEG) and write those values to variables of the same name. This reads the raw reported Tag values, so format and names between images and cameras may differ.

Modified Crop Image Object so that, if it finds the following variables: ImageCropX, ImageCropY, ImageCropW, and ImageCropH, it will use them in place of any values set in the object’s properties. This now allows for dynamic image cropping.

Fixed GUI issue with mismatched Process Editor icons.

Added minimum size to Corrections Editor UI so it cannot be resized too small.

Enhanced the Corrections Editor to make it resizable.

Fixed an issue where the specified CSV file was not being saved in CSV Reader Object Dialog.

Fixed an issue where the Combine Files Object was not using directory picker.

Fixed an issue where the Fill Dictionary Object was missing from tool bar.

Fixed an issue with FTP Output directory Expression Editor not working.

Added check for null values which may be causing an internal exception when trying to map return data on empty fields.

WorkPath Desktop

Added code to migrate all settings and files from the folder appdata\ScanPathDesktop to the folder appdata\WorkPathDesktop.

Fixed an issue where Server-created shared processes with passwords did not ask for a password when edited, renamed, duplicated, etc. on the WorkPath Desktop.

Fixed issue where Pop-Up objects were not working correctly in local processes because the IsServer flag was not being set or read correctly.

Added Work Items (Popup) button to UI which will show when WPD is connected to a WP Server. The button will remain grayed out until there are work items for a user to interact with.

DR Checkout folder can now be overridden in the settings. Changing the folder when documents are checked out will cause them to be orphaned.

Fixed an issue when Auto Refresh not working on Queues.

New QueueName and QueuePath variables are added to the Job when a process is run from a Queue.

Removed internal caught errors from displaying in Server Errors log.

Fixed issue with Printer Agent trying to shell the old workpath.exe instead of the new WorkPath Desktop.exe executable name, which caused the printer agent not be able to open WorkPath (Desktop) when it is closed.

Made minor change to FileDataOutput Object to allow it to work when Run with No File is enabled in the process root.

Updated name of the WorkPath Desktop.exe path in the DRCL file extension registration in the InstallAware installer.
