  • Introducing tvc.collaboration.exalead.workflow.pagesize property to set the default page size for workflow find API.

3. File Manager

The File Manager in general included major changes in the previous TVC release 2016.3.0, due to the fact that many browsers has removed (or soon will) their support for Java applets, and due to the fact that Oracle is removing the Applet technology from future versions of Java.

3.1. Applet Free Client / Native Client - now supporting Chrome

A new version (1.1.0) of the native File Manager client has been made available for users on Windows and Mac, now extending the support from Firefox version 50 or higher to also support Chrome. This client is installed as a native application on the clients computer, and the browser uses a special plugin for integration between the ENOVIA application and this native version of the File Manager application.

Please go to https://products.technia.com to download the installer packages. You will find it below the tab "TVC" → "File Manager Native".

Future versions of the File Manager will add support for running the File Manager natively also in Microsoft Edge.

In order to support legacy browsers such as IE 9-11, we will still allow these browsers to run the File Manager as an Applet. This support will remain in the File Manager during a transition period.
