We are pleased to announce that Ruleguard version 4.15.0 is now live!
This update contains the following changes:
Issues
-
Added the ability to control whether or not a User may perform a given 'transition' where they have (or have not) performed another transition, to support a variety of suggested use cases.
-
Added the ability to prevent a User carrying out a transition where they created an Issue, to support a suggested use case that a User cannot progress an Issue to another Stage where they were the Issue originator.

-
Recipient Customers with multiple Master accounts can now permission Users with 'View Incoming Shared Events permission' to only see Events supplied by a given Master, to give better control e.g. over which teams can see which Events, depending on need.
Accountability (Senior Manager and Certification Regimes)
-
Added the Person Reference Number and IRN to the Person Grid for all Users whereas previously this was limited to Users with View Restricted Person Fields permissions only.

-
Ensured Certification Functions and Certificate Expiry columns no longer display information for Legal Entities where all Certification Functions have been end dated, and that date is now passed.
-
We now ensure non-Certification Workflows display in descending order first by Due date, then by Creation date (where Due date matches) on each respective tracking tab.
-
It is now possible to (optionally) attach a completed Certificate to the Certification Complete email when setting the associated Workflow Action.

-
Improved the 'All Certification Functions token' to better reflect Certification statuses across multiple legal entities by taking into account each Legal Entities most recent certification date.
-
User (Workflow) 'Step Summary' emails now display dependent step information where a step is conditionally available.

-
It is now possible to download a PDF copy of an Event from the attestation screen (e.g. to pass on Certification Responses for review by another person).
-
Added the ability to add a numeric Field of type Number (Positive Integer) that permits positive only values, to enforce validation data entries in use cases where negative values should not be possible.
-
The list of Integer Fields have also been rearranged for a tidier and more orderly presentation of the different options available.
-
-
Added the ability to restrict all scheduled emails from Workflows e.g. for those customers who wish to manage Certification communications 'in-house'.
-
Overdue email notifications will still be set by the respective setting.

Certification Complete emails will still be sent where set by a Workflow Action irrespective of this setting.
-
A full list of suppressed emails controlled by this setting is provided in the accompanying mouseover message ('tooltip').
