GT eForms 3.70.00 Release Notes
The 3.70.00 release includes 7 enhancements and 24 stability improvements. The enhancements include the highly anticipated eForms Assistant and Configurable CI. Fixes include improvements to the sort algorithm in the form build process, and a number of other fixes. We hope these improvements and enhancements empower you by making your form building more efficient and pleasant.
Release Highlights
Meet your new smart sidekick: eForms Assistant, powered by Ida! eForms Assistant brings real-time, AI-powered help to both end users and form builders -- right when and where they need it.
For end users, eForms Assistant helps find the right form. Then, it walks them through submitting it with smart, form-contextual guidance along the way. Check out a real-life example in this video!
For form builders, eForms Assistant provides instant help configuring your form! Forgot how to configure a validation? Ask the eForms Assistant. It's your first time building a visual if? The eForms Assistant is ready to walk you through it. Watch it in action right here!
Configurable CI
In GT eForms building, Component Interfaces (CIs) have long been one of the last strongholds of developer-only work -- typically demanding custom PeopleCode and full technical builds from the ground up. But with the 3.70.00 release, that barrier is coming down. Functional users can now take the reins and configure many CI transactions entirely on their own, no custom coding required. And for the more complex cases that still need custom technical work, developers can jump in and extend what's already been configured -- no need to start a technical CI from scratch.
Planning to apply the upgrade
This release encompasses GT eForms product work completed since the release of 3.58.00. It must be applied on top of 3.58.00. If you are on a release prior to 3.58.00, you will need to upgrade to 3.58.00 first. Please plan to apply this upgrade and test your forms in a development and test environment prior to moving to production. You do not need to apply 3.58.01, 3.58.02, 3.58.03, or 3.58.04 before applying 3.70.00, as it is cumulative and includes all the fixes and enhancements from those service packs. For information about any previous releases, please see the historical release notes.
