Release notes

Release date: September 19, 2023.

Release version: 3.0.8649.21584

 
This is a major release containing several new features - two of them (Alerts and Reports) are big modules containing lots of sub-features. Also, there are lots of bug-fixes in this release.

Everything is described in the sections below.

New features

• Alerts module

  • Comprehensive module that makes it possible to set up alert notifications to warn you when important distributions are not active. Alerts can be scheduled on a detailed level and it’s possible to notify Stakeholders, document senders and/or receivers. Please consult the https://bizbrains.atlassian.net/l/cp/j6qj2itj chapter in the user guide for further information.

• Reports module

  • It’s now possible to have custom reports in Link 3. Reports can be scheduled and e-mailed as CSV-files. In later versions of this module, there will be a number of reports out of the box, and it will be possible to display the reports as graphs. Please consult Bizbrains support or your TAM to assist with creation of reports to fit your needs.
    You can read more in the Reports in Link chapter of the user guide.

• Test tool

  • The regressions test tool has been reworked and now contains even more features to help you carry out comprehensive testing before putting major changes to your solution in production.

• Audit log

  • The Link Audit log functionality has been enhanced to create log entries upon user authentication and when a document is deleted.

• Asynchronous responses

  • The Link REST service and itinerary steps can now be configured to support asynchronous responses.
