Print File process action supported
As of this release, Indicium supports the 2022.2 Print File process action.
Please note that currently, you can only print files in PDF format on a Windows platform, and the printer must be installed on the web server.
Use Windows command tasks to open URIs
You can now use Windows command tasks to open URIs in the Universal GUI, as follows:
-
In the Task logic type field, specify 'Windows command':
-
In the Object name field, specify the URI to open:
When executing this task in the Universal GUI, the corresponding URI is opened in the browser. You can also use dynamic URIs via task parameters.
Please refer to the Thinkwise documentation for more information about Windows Command tasks, with the following limitations:
- This implementation only supports opening URIs and not executing Windows commands.
- Windows command tasks cannot be used in process flows.
Minor fixes and tasks
- In a database storage configuration, the BLOB data column was not always cleared when clearing the corresponding file column. This has been fixed.
