Laserfiche Cloud

Summary

This article documents new features and changes in the current Laserfiche Cloud 2020.2, released on April 23, 2020.

Process Automation

Capture Profiles

The smart invoice capture profile, previously available for Solution Providers, is now available as an additional purchase to all Laserfiche Cloud customers. The smart invoice capture profile is a pre-configured profile that uses machine learning to automatically capture an invoice date, invoice number, purchase order number, and total amount due. Similar to custom capture profiles, the Run Capture Profile Workflow activity runs this smart profile and outputs tokens for the captured data to be used later in the workflow.

Updates and fixes

  • When using pattern matching to find a text anchor, the regular expression menu's submenus no longer close when you hover over them. (215326)
  • A tooltip has now been added to indicate that only the first page of a multi-page tiff will be used as a sample page when creating a capture profile or test document. (211913)
  • The Edit, Delete, and Download buttons are no longer visible when viewing deleted profiles. (215315)
  • You can no longer use checkboxes select multiple deleted capture profiles (because there are no actions available for them). (230175)
  • The Edit, Delete, and Export buttons are no longer visible when no profiles are selected. (230100)
  • The removal of duplicate and extraneous API calls has improved performance. (221812)

Surveys Layout Designer

Discover insights and new ideas to drive your organization forward. With an all new drag-and-drop designer, creating completely custom forms is easier than ever. Surveys powers your organization to create surveys, quizzes, and polls faster, and has easy-to-use analytics built-in to measure and understand the feedback.

Ellucian Banner (Solution Provider Preview)

Laserfiche is now an Ellucian Ethos Connected partner. Push and pull data between Laserfiche and Banner systems through Ellucian Ethos for more streamlined student forms processing in higher education institutions. Create a connection profile and configure the mapping between Laserfiche fields and Ellucian fields. Use the connection profile within a business process as part of a lookup rule to pre-populate form fields. You can also create a workflow to both query for information and update student information.
