DAP-6758 - Enhanced Related Data Control - Ability to create a record and link it
Existing System: Currently, we would only be able to search a record and link.
Purpose: User should be able to add a record and link with smoother navigation.
Enhanced System: The user would be able to:
- Create a record from the parent form without any hassel.
- On save, the record not only gets saved but also is linked to the parent record where it is referenced.
- This feature is configurable. All existing apps would be defaulted to "Search" only option.
- Users can modify the app and select "Both - Search & Add", or only "Add".
Impacts on existing forms: No
Available in Mobile: Yes.

DAP-7051 - Flexibility to download attachments from notification
Existing System: Currently, we don't have an option to download an attachment from notification.
Purpose: To access attachments from notification.
Enhanced System:
- Users would be able to download the attachments from notification.
- If an upload control is configured in a notification, then a hyperlink is made available.
- On clicking the hyperlink of the attachment, it would redirect user to our processmap application and ask for authorization.
- Once authorized, the attachment automatically downloads.
Impacts on existing forms: No impact.
Available in Mobile: NA
DAP-6793 - Physical Demand Analysis(PDA) App Integration with Occ. Health
Existing System: We currently don't have a solution for capturing PDA metrics.
Purpose: To provide the ability to capture and compare the PDA metrics against the employee job requirements.
Enhanced System:
User would be able to enter physical, environmental, and cognitive metrics for every job classification.
- Medical staff would be able to associate the PDA records with the employee restriction summary record.
- Once the association is done, the system would generate the comparison report between the restrictions identified and the PDA.
- This report would help the supervisor to decide whether the employee is fit for the job role.
- Users would also be able to navigate to the associated PDA record from occ. health module with a single click.
Impacts on existing forms: No impact
Available in Mobile: NA
DAP-7007 - Introduced "Users By Role" Datasource
Existing System: Currently, we have only "Users By Group" data source.
Purpose: To be able to select the users with the help of role filter.
Enhanced System: Users would be able to:
- Configure this data source to any single/multi-selection control.
- Add a data source filter on a particular role so that they don't see the full user list.
- While entering the data, only users belonging to a selected role will show up in the details screen.
Impacts on existing forms: No
Available in Mobile: Yes.
DAP-7127 - Usability changes to "Field Settings" option in manage data sources
Existing System: User would be able to change the data type of a column using field settings. Currently, this shows up as a button and on clicking opens up a po-up.
Purpose: To improve the usage of the feature and help users configure the right data type for each column.
Enhanced System: The user would be able to:
- Configure the data type of the column right in the grid without any additional click.
- Users can expand/collapse the settings for usability.
- Data type selection is mandatory and currently, it is defaulted to "String" for any new column.
Impacts on existing forms: No impact
Available in Mobile: NA.
DAP-7008 - Ability to concatenate (or show as a sub-label) another data source field in a dropdown
Existing System: Currently, the system displays data from a single data source column.
Purpose: To improve usability of a dropdown control to display additional information.
Enhanced System: Changes include:
- 'Addtional Display Field' property added to every single/multi-auto complete control.
- User would be able to configure an additional column of the same data source.
- This column would be displayed along with the primary display column with a hyphen (Ex: 'Name' - 'ID').
Impacts on existing forms: This additional property will be blank for all the existing forms.
Available in Mobile: Not available. Feature implemented only on web.
DAP-6822 - Introduce a configuration to Include QR Code in the System Generated Report
Existing System: Currently, we don't have an option to print QR code in the report header.
Purpose: To improve the usability of PDF report.
Enhanced System:
- Users have to switch to “System Defined Header (With QR Code)” for the existing forms.
- PDF's generated going forward will have the QR Code printed on the header portion.
- If any app doesn't need to have this feature, we can let the PDF remain as is with the default option - "System Defined Header".
Impacts to Existing Forms: No Impact.
Available in Mobile: Yes.
DAP-5944 - Andriod - iOS usability gaps
Existing System: Currently, we have few usability gaps.
Purpose: To improve the usability of android app.
Enhanced System: Changes include
- The user would be able to now see the 'Static icons' configured for the fields now in android as well.
- DAP-4893 - Andriod - Segmented Control Changes - Values with long text are getting truncated
- DAP-5786 - Andriod - Tree View Control changes for Inactive parent nodes
Impacts on existing forms: No.
Available in Mobile: Yes, supported now in both iOS and Android.
DAP- 6342 - Ability to add "Empty/Not Empty" conditions on system-generated Id field
Existing System: Currently, user would not be able to configure actions for system-generated Id control.
Purpose: To provide flexibility to configure actions that are "Save-Dependant".
Enhanced System: User would be able to:
- Configure 'Empty' or 'Not Empty' based conditions for a System Generated Id.
- If a user wants to have the application behave differently after record save, then this configuration will be much helpful as a system-generated Id gets generated when users hits save.
- So, any condition like "Id is Empty" is configured means the behavior is applicable for record create scenarios.
- Similarly, any condition like "Id is Non-Empty" is configured means the behavior is applicable to all existing records which are already created and user wants to update it.
Impacts on existing forms: No
Available in Mobile: Yes on both iOS and Andriod.
DAP- 6341 - Introduced a configuration for "Public/ Anonymous Document Link"
Configurable: Yes
- Title 1:EnablePublicLink
- Public/Private: Yes
- Default: No
Title 2:AppBuilderUser
- Public/Private: Yes
- Default: Blank
Existing System: Currently, we have this functionality available without configuration abilities.
Purpose: To provide configuration.
Enhanced System: The user would be able to:
- Show/Hide the public notification link in the notification builder using "EnablePublicLink" custom setting. If value is set to "Yes" then public link would be shown.
- "App Builder User" custom setting will be used to set a particular user as the public user. We need to provide the User Id as the value to the custom setting.
Impacts on existing forms: No
Available in Mobile: NA.
DAP- 5629 - Save only edited fields data (Parallel Users Case)
Existing System: Currently, when two users are updating the same record, data is getting overwritten.
Purpose: To prevent data loss.
Enhanced System: Changes include
- System would save only edited fields data and this will help users to prevent data loss if they edit fields of different sections.
- Apps that have Multi-approval workflow or Multi-Access configuration on different sections can take advantage of this feature.
Impacts on existing forms: No
Available in Mobile: Yes, supported on both iOS and Android.
DAP- 6444 - Ability to record the source (iOS/Andriod) when a record is created/updated from mobile
Existing System: Currently, in the backend we save only whether the record is created/updated from web/mobile.
Purpose: To uniquely identify the source (iOS / Andriod) for analytics or issue investigation.
Enhanced System: Changes include
- Differentiate the record which is created/updated from the android app and iOS app.
- In the backend, the system would capture the source information.
Impacts on existing forms: No
Available in Mobile: Yes, supported on both iOS and Android.
