Maintenance Report

This section briefly describes the new features, enhancements, and fixes in Autoform DM 10.5.

New Features

Performance Improvements: Autoform DM 10.5 includes a range of performance and robustness improvements in core application functionality. In addition to generally improving performance, these changes enable Autoform DM to reliably scale to meet the demands of larger customers with more complex configurations.

Customers using this new version should see a significant throughput increase for searches and document imports. Performance testing of a Cloud deployment that holds 50 million documents and has 60 key definitions showed a 130% increase in search throughput and a 30% increase in document upload throughput.

In general, these performance increases have been achieved by introducing further efficiencies in how the application operates and by updating document upload to use a faster compression algorithm.

Fixes and Enhancements

Internal Ref.	Area	Details	Status
408765	Performance	Performance improvements. See New Features above.	Enhancement
401693	Import applications	If an import application is associated with more than one document definition and the user is uploading only one file, the import application will not ask the user to specify whether all import files are of the same type.	Enhancement
421781	Search applications	Users can now drag-select text in search result tables. This enhancement enables users to copy data from the data.	Enhancement
424062	Import applications	The administrator can now select `Filename (no extension)` for the Default value property of String key bindings to import applications. This setting removes the file extension from the import document’s filename to generate the key's value.	Enhancement
421781	Search applications	If a document’s row in a search result table contained one or more empty columns, the header area (displayed after the user selected a document and then clicked View) merged some key data instead of displaying a \| (pipe) character between each key value.	Fixed
400339	Search applications	The file that Autoform DM downloads (when the user clicks the Download button that is provided alongside the preview of a document in a search application) does not have the correct filename if the relevant document definition has a custom Filename format.	Fixed
401570		Resolved an information disclosure vulnerability in Autoform DM.	Fixed
401693	Import applications	If an import document matches an archived document on Customer Unique Key (CUK), the archived document’s key values override the default key values (that the import application is configured to apply to import documents). However, if the import document’s CUK value is cleared, String keys whose default value is configured as `Filename` display `fn:filename()` instead of the import file’s filename.	Fixed
424831	Installer	Updated http to HTTP in the Autoform DM installer.	Fixed

Upcoming Feature and Product Retirements

Formpipe will retire the following features and products in Autoform DM 11 (currently scheduled for Q1 2025):

Autoform DM Client
Webservices v1
Webservices v2
Batch Service (Batch Definition Manager)

As a result, they will be unavailable for use from Autoform DM 11 onwards. This forward notice of retirement enables customers to plan an orderly migration from the features and products listed above to alternative Formpipe software capabilities.

If a customer requires information about these alternatives, or is unsure how these feature and product retirements will affect their current workflows, they can contact Formpipe Support (see How to Get Support).
