Laserfiche 10.2.1 is a maintenance release that includes numerous fixes, as well as performance and stability enhancements.
The Laserfiche Server allows you to add fields to document either as part of a template, or on their own. In prior versions, fields added to a document as part of a template could be blank, but fields added independent of a template had to contain a value or they would not be saved. This release introduces the ability to save blank fields in both cases.
The Laserfiche web client adds the ability to expand the import dialog to full screen, making it easier to preview images or PDFs for data entry purposes. In addition, when exporting a folder, you can now specify an image format for the exported image files, and automatically include a metadata report for the folder. The metadata display has also been enhanced, providing users with the option to condense the field display if they want to see more fields on their screen at once. Uploading has also been enhanced, allowing users to sign every page of a multi-page PDF during upload, or preserve an image’s original file type.
The following minor changes and fixes were also added to Laserfiche 10.2.1.
Note: Laserfiche 10.2.1 is a cumulative update and also includes all changes included in previous versions.
