BPM

A new experience in handling requests

Generating novel ways to innovate even the simplest tasks is one of our core principles.

Therefore, we bring you the latest innovations for the process requests page where, from the opening to the interaction with the requests, they became much more intuitive, providing a better arrangement of information and with new tabs, making it easier to use. 

The improvements also extend to the tabs Form, Information, and Attachments, and one of the biggest changes was in the Complements tab, which had its name changed and is now called History.

Want to create pages more conveniently?

The new page builder makes it much easier to create pages in TOTVS Fluig, so that your portals are ready to be viewed on any device, be it a computer, mobile phone, or tablet.

We have developed a fully modernized and cleaner layout, making the creation and management of pages more practical and intuitive than ever. Check out the new features!

Click, drag, and drop

Widgets are now available in the builder's side menu, organized by categories. To select a widget, simply click and drag it to the layout slots in the building area. 

When dragging a widget to a slot, a blue marking is displayed to indicate the position that the widget will occupy, thus making the transfer of widgets between slots much simpler.

In addition, the menu can be collapsed to take advantage of the entire builder area. To add new widgets, simply click an empty slot to open the menu again.

Responsive Layouts

Some layouts have been restructured to meet responsiveness criteria. When creating a page, you will identify the Responsive Layout tag, which when used on the page, ensures that the content will adjust to different screen sizes and mobile devices.

But remember, for the responsive experience to be satisfying, all widgets added to the page also need to be responsive.

Preview

You'll also be able to preview your page before you publish it through the icon. This way you can see how your page will look and if you want to go back to editing just click Go back to edit mode.

Manage your widget: Set permissions, enable on mobile, and delete the widget

When you hover the mouse over the widget, the options will appear in a floating menu so you can configure it. Just choose one of the options to perform the action.

Search result settings in a new place!

In order to consolidate all settings related to themes and pages, the search result configuration of the platform will be located in the Themes section of the Control Panel, starting with this release.

Through a new tab called Settings, you can configure whether you want search results to be displayed in a new window or if you prefer them to be displayed in the current window. 

This setting also moved for the Classic and Snowflake themes, being located within the icon of Actions of the themes. Check out what changed:

Check out our new page listings!

We are constantly striving to make your experience using the TOTVS Fluig Platform more enjoyable, so we have provided a new page listing with more comprehensive information and a completely modernized design. Check out everything that's changed below!

Modern look

The page listing screen has a new, modern, and intuitive look that makes it much easier to find your pages.

Public or private page?

Now you can quickly and easily determine if the page is public or private by locating the icon to the right of the version column. The globe icon represents the public pages while the lock icon represents the private pages.

New informational columns

We created new columns to provide important information about the pages, such as when it was last edited and by whom, as well as the active version of the page.

Page information and settings

In the page listing, you can access the page configuration to change permissions, settings, and general page information, such as the title and description. You can also change the page name directly in the builder by clicking on the page name located on the left side of the page header. 

Gain more freedom to edit and make your portals reflect the identity of your business!

Duplicate page

Save time in managing your pages with just one click. You can duplicate pages by inheriting all the information and settings from the original page such as data, widgets, layouts, and permissions. Simply choose a page from the My pages feature in the Control Panel, click More page options and then select Duplicate Page. A copy will be created according to the defined criteria.

Archive page

You can also archive the pages by making the URL unavailable for access. Just locate the page in My pages in the Control Panel, click the More Options icon and then click Archive Page. 

If there are any pages linked to the page to be archived, all of them will be archived. But rest assured, if you change your mind, you can unarchive it at any time.

Delete page

Only archived pages can be deleted. This is how we ensure greater security.

Updated libraries

In order to ensure greater security for the platform, we have taken the initiative to keep our libraries up to date. In this release, we have updated the following libraries accordingly.

ES6 on the TOTVS Fluig Platform

As of this release, it is possible to develop widgets using ES6, which is a new version of JavaScript, in order to modernize the platform. 

We approved the use of the Closure Compiler Maven Plugin, which optimizes JavaScript files. 

In previous versions, we used the Yui Compressor Maven Plugin, but it is not compatible with ES6+. Nothing was affected in form development. Forms do not undergo the same compilation process as widgets.

Documents

Master list with many more options

The master list has been revamped with more options so that you can view the information in your report with much more assertiveness. And, with this in mind, new selection options were added to your report, such as:

• • Approval status
  • Documents with approval history / Do not show approved documents in the history
  • Author
  • Update date. 

All this information can be defined when creating your master list, allowing for improved visibility and more options, adding value to your report.

To further improve and make things easier, you can now export this report from the master list directly to your computer. Just select all the information you wish to view, click the option Export to Excel, and you're done! Your master list will be automatically generated and exported in spreadsheet format, giving you greater control over the data and the ability to make changes as desired.

If you enjoyed this update, be sure to check out our full Master List documentation to learn all the details of how to create your list with more options and export it quickly and easily.

Architecture

More security and performance in Fluig

In this release, we approved the MySQL 8 version. This action is intended to increase the security, stability, and performance of the TOTVS Fluig Platform. Remember that the current version approved by the platform (MySQL 5.7) will no longer be supported by the system vendor itself in October 2023. Update your platform to ensure all the benefits of this new version.

For further information, please refer to the official MySQL documentation here.

In addition, we certified the Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems at version 8.7.
