A Subjob activity allows you to create an instance of a process from a parent process. Data can be passed from the parent into the subjob, and because the parent process waits until the subjob activity completes, data can also be passed back.

You can now flag specific variables as output variables in a process and this reduced list is displayed when you configure the Subjob activity. This reduces ambiguity in the variable that are the return variables. The variables used internal to the process can be hidden; you can toggle to see all variables.

Click here for more information.

An Overview option is available on the Process designer toolbar that helps you view a scaled down version of your process in a separate panel in the designer canvas. An Overview icon is available on the Job Viewer toolbar in TotalAgility Workspace that helps you view a scaled down version of the job at runtime. You can also navigate (pan or zoom) to a particular activity using the mouse.

By default, the standard TotalAgility icon is displayed on the browser tab of TotalAgility Designer and TotalAgility Workspace.

From the General tab of System settings, you can upload a custom icon to replace the default icon. This helps you to visually differentiate one environment from another, if you need to switch from one to another. You may need to clear your browser's cache and restart your browser for the changes to take effect.

Create variables

A quick link to create variables is available when configuring the properties for processes and activities (business rule activity, Subjob and Create new job). The newly created variable is automatically assigned to the value field, thereby increasing the usability. Click here for more information on how to create variables using the quick links.

The following enhancements are available for TotalAgility forms.

Skip actions when debugging a form

You can now skip the actions when debugging a form. This makes debugging easier without the need to make the action inactive and then save/release the form to bypass it unnecessarily increasing the version number of the form. Click here for more information on skipping an action.

Display settings

The Cell alignment and Label alignment settings are available in the system settings that can be applied to create a blank form or generate and regenerate a generic take activity form.

Create new job form

The File upload controls appear on the Create new job form that has folder Initialization variables so that you can upload documents to the repository without having to edit the form design. At runtime, the File upload control is created on the form for each folder initialization variable and multiple files of any file type can be uploaded. Once the upload is completed, the ID of the folder created will be passed into the job.

Activity Forms: Folder output variables

Activity forms provide a file upload control for an output folder variable. Activity forms with input variables display a list of documents and a corresponding viewer.

A Create new job form automatically provides a file upload control for a folder initialization variable.

The following enhancements are available for TotalAgility form controls.

Chart control

For increased usability and interaction at runtime, the charts have an improved look and smoother interaction.

• The color palette of the charts is a lot softer.

• The inset padding value is updated from pixels to percentage.

Refer to the following table for the improved charts:

In TotalAgility 7.8.0	In TotalAgility 7.9.0

Exposed properties

The properties are now exposed on the Chart control to allow you to get and set values. For example, you can set the queryID and Groupbyfield to be used on the chart dynamically in an action to allow the chart to display different information or get the queryID and use it to update another control, such as a list or a tile. By exposing these properties, it is possible to create interactive dashboards and drilldowns.

Tile control

The Tile control uses a query to determine the number of displays. Any query can be used; however, the query total is displayed on the tile control at runtime regardless of whether "Return query total" for the query is selected. Previously, the query total displayed only if you selected Return query total.

Table control

A new property, Background color, is added to the design properties for a Table control. Use the new property to set the background color using the Theme, Inline and class options for a table on a form.

Empty numeric Text boxes and Table columns

A new property, Value when empty, allows you to set a default value to be used at runtime if the table column of control type text remains empty. If the text field value is empty at runtime, the system checks which property is selected at design time. The value of a table column can be Null or Number. If Null is selected, the value of the text field when empty is null. If Number is selected, you can enter a numeric value (default: Number, 0) which is displayed at runtime. This applies to Desktop, Tablet and Mobile forms. The Value when empty property is only available for Int16, Int32 and Decimal data types when the control type is set to Text.

Dropdown list control

The Option display mode property on the Dropdown list control allows you to define whether to display Text, or both Text and value when you expand the drop-down list at runtime. If you choose to display both text and value, they are displayed in separate columns. You can set the width as a percentage for the Text and Value columns.

If you choose Text and value as the Option display mode, the Selection display mode option is available. This option lets you define whether to display Text, or both Text and value upon selecting an item from the drop-down list at runtime.

Resource tree control

Use the Style tab on the Properties tab of the Resource tree control to set an inline style or use a class directly so that you have more control over the styling.

Button control

When you add a Button control to a percentage width form (desktop/tablet/phone) and view the properties, a new option for Width mode called Auto is available that will resize to fit the text contents.

Allow controls to load with no query configured at design time

When queries are to be set dynamically, it is no longer necessary to select a query at design time on the Workqueue, Job list, Workload and Tile controls. This makes the configuration easier and the form more efficient at runtime.

You can now set a breakpoint on automatic activities, giving you more control when debugging document, folder and Data Object variables.

In the previous releases, if the TotalAgility server was offline, or subscription was lost between Exchange Server and TotalAgility server, then all notifications that occurred in Exchange during that period were lost. Now the new system task, MS Exchange Events periodically polls the configured Exchange servers to get outstanding events to be processed by TotalAgility. The periodic polling maintains an Exchange state property for each server so it only gets new events since the last time it checked.

Additionally, the new Exchange server type, Online, is available to specifically support OAuth 2.0 authorization. While configuring the OAuth server, you need to use scope permissions for EWS APIs. Refer to the Microsoft documentation on setting OAuth scope for EWS applications.

If the claims or user claim rules in Federated Security are modified, TotalAgility automatically updates the working group and group membership for the affected resource.

In a list page search and also when selecting the controls, you can set the resource working Category to All. The All option is not displayed on the Category list when creating or modifying an artifact.

When designing a form, you can now set the property to allow Query editing whether or not it is initialized with a query, or you can select a query.

The data type for fields and properties is displayed, making them easier to use.

A basic JavaScript SDK is available for use in JavaScript actions in TotalAgility forms. Using this SDK, you can get and set form variables, form control values and global variables.

You can add annotations in Web Capture controls, and later view them in Capture Client activities or vice versa; choose to show/hide the annotations (created in Web Capture controls) in the Capture Client.

The Web Capture control has annotation control for sticky notes, including the ability to add, remove, or modify sticky notes that is added through the Capture Client or Web Capture control. Click here for more information.
