What's New in Esko 22.11 Releases

What's New in WebCenter 22.11

User Interface and the User Experience

Update to Latest Version

Old feature, new home. The “Update to the latest version” button available in forms is now available in the new UI framework.

Duplicate

Save time by duplicating another document in a single click. A duplicate button can be configured in a document row to quickly create another document. The file and all attributes are copied during this operation. This is useful for creating multi-SKU specifications or working with content statements in PCM.

WebCenter Cloud

Deep Zoom Mode now Available for all SaaS Customers

The Cloud Viewer with infinite zoom and Quality Control tools is available to all SaaS customers running 22.11+ by selecting “Deep Zoom Mode” on top of the viewer.

Granular access control: Administrators can control Cloud Viewer access for individual roles and/or users.

Config Simplification

Call External API from within the workflow canvas

Integrations just got easier to configure! The JavaScript node in the workflow canvas can now call external API’s! This greatly increases integration capabilities and removes other, more difficult methods for calling integrations.

Restrict Value of attributes via another attribute

Simplify the user experience by limiting the number of dropdown options users see by specifically showing only relevant values. Accomplished by a new configuration allowing values to be filtered/restricted to only those values selected in another attribute (i.e., restrict task options by allowing only selected project values).

This also works on Reference properties.

Bearer token authentication added to external API connections

More authentication options mean more compatibility with your current way of working with and authenticating to other systems.

Scalability & Performance

Improved Page Loading Experience

Better User Experience when loading pages. In the moment when a page is actively loading, users now see a template grid of results before the results are populated. The result is a smoother page load and a better visual feedback of load progress.

Increased Performance on bulk content copy

With some under-the-hood improvements, we’ve increased the performance when making a bulk copy of content documents. In addition, template rows are shown when the documents are actively loading.

Value for Maintenance

Improved List Look-up Feature

List lookup just got more powerful! The list lookup feature from Workflow, rule engine, JavaScript API and Workflow parameter is now able to return results from multiple column lists.

Chili Integration Improvements

WebCenter customers using Chili Cloud version can now integrate with WebCenter. Previously, only on-prem Chili versions were able to integrate.

Improved Options for Approving Documents Outside the Viewer

Additional security options for allowing approval of documents while not in the viewer. Rather than a binary option, the choices now include “All Documents” “Non-viewable Documents only” and “Do not allow”.

What's New in Content 22.11

Packaging Content Management

Enhanced Dashboards make a great User Experience

PCM users can now work completely within a single dashboard, eliminating extra clicks that navigate away and distract from their current focus. Dashboards also support language contexts; the interface is simplified by focusing on only the languages relevant to the project.

PCM Dashboard
Improved performance for large content sheets

Large content sheets now load 4x faster than in the previous version.

Chili Cloud support

WebCenter now supports the Chili Cloud service to automatically populate artwork templates with approved PCM content.

Structured Content Management

Allow copying of artwork tags between maps

The relationship between how content is prepared for submission and placed on the artwork can now be reused across similar maps and templates.

Include changes from the previous version when preparing submissions

Health Authority submissions can now contain track changes, such as markups, to better meet regulatory agency needs.

SCM Track Changes Combo2_OPT
Continuing to improve and simplify the user experience

We’ve made significant updates to improve the Editor and Reviewer experience, including simplifying the interface and extending document history visibility to reviewers.

SCM Search UI
Improved user experience to create and manage Translations

Translators can see the source content for statements while editing a translation. And when the source content changes, translators now see a visual indicator in the translated text, reducing the chance that a mistranslation will make it onto artwork or into regulatory output.

Support for more Microsoft Word output formats

Expanding submission file formats that are supported out of the box.
