TVC 2024.2.0 Release Information

26 April 2024

1. Graphic Reporting

1.1. Workflow

1.1.1. AlternateOIDExpression setting support in workflow-chart column

The workflow-chart column is set up to display an icon when a workflow is present for the object. In scenarios where users anticipate seeing the workflow icon for the related object, the introduction of the AlternateOIDExpression setting addresses this need. Configuration for this setting is as follows:

<Table>
    ...
    <Column>
        <Name>workflow-chart</Name>
        <ColumnType>workflow-chart</ColumnType>
        <AlternateOIDExpression>from[Reference Document].to</AlternateOIDExpression>
    </Column>
</Table>

In the aforementioned example, the Workflow icon will be visible for the object associated with the reference document relationship.

Refer Link to Workflow for more information about the workflow-chart column type.

1.1.2. Allow empty field values for workflow task fields

In previous releases, task fields with blank values were not saved during workflow creation, causing them to not be displayed in the task thread.

To address this limitation, a new TVC system property has been introduced. This property allows the saving of fields with blank values, enabling their display in the task thread.

Property Description Default Value

tvc.collaboration.workflow.task.field.allowEmptyValue

Allow to store the fields with blank value

false

Property Description Default Value

tvc.collaboration.dropzone.validFileExtensions

Drop files with specified extensions. The extension values are comma-separated and case-sensitive. For instance: pdf, txt, jpg, gif. Leaving this property blank allows dropping files with any extension.
