New Features in Bizagi Studio - Part 1

New features available in Bizagi Studio:

• Expression Editor Improvements

  The Data Model Viewer in the Expression Editor interface was improved and is much more user-friendly, helping users create expressions faster and more intuitively. It now features a visual interface to review the selected XPath, perform filters or change the XPath syntax (Traditional, Quotes or None).

• Use Business Keys instead of Surrogate Keys

  In the Scripting Expression editor, we have added a “Select Parameter Value” option. This Value Picker helps you to avoid the use of surrogate key values when you need to retrieve information from parameter entities. Now you can search the existing entity values with your required filters and Bizagi will retrieve the primary key of the selected record.

• Package Visualizer

  When you finish automating a process and it is ready for deployment, Bizagi now provides a Package Visualizer that allows you to visualize and check the package content to be deployed.

Automatic testing

Resource kit designed to test Bizagi processes automatically in Development and Testing environments.

The Automatic (Auto) Testing tool executes without human intervention any previously recorded scenarios. It validates that the outcome of those scenarios and the process flow/path followed are correct.

This greatly reduces the time and resources required to validate that processes are performing well after changes/enhancements have been introduced. This otherwise manual activity is very time consuming in BPM projects.

Search List control

The Search List control enables you to select multiple items from a list and relate them together.

Want to assign job roles or tasks to multiple locations? Simply tap in the name of the record and Bizagi displays a list of matches.

For example, choose several European countries to visit for your next trip, without using a table.

The Search list control displays ALL records for European countries, enabling you to select one or more and associate them to the Countries to visit attribute.

Actions involving collection elements and controls outside the collection

You can now create Actions and Validations that include elements (columns) of a table and elements outside of the collection.

This was not possible before.

Previously, if an Action involved an element of a collection, only elements within the table were available.

Advanced parameters for Web Service invocations

It is now possible to configure specific parameters that are useful when sending large volumes of information via Web Services.

By default and according to best practices (both for security and performance), Bizagi limits the size of information that can be sent to external Web Services.

However, in sophisticated scenarios where it is strictly needed to surpass the limit, you may configure the following advanced parameters: : Max Buffer Size, Max Buffer Pool Size, Max String Content Length, Max Array Length, Max Bytes Per Read, Max Name Table Char count.

You may configure these directly in Bizagi Studio or manage their values in other environments through the Management Console.

Does not apply for JEE platforms because these parameters are specific to the Windows Communication Foundation specification files (WCF).

Now it is possible to send and receive JSON-structured files when invoking a RESTful service.

Federated authentication

Bizagi now supports integration with Identity provider systems that comply with the WS-Federation standard, such as Active Directory Federation Services.

Available only for .NET.

Translate your Work Portal in the Production environment

Now you can manage the language settings from the Work Portal, easily and directly from development and production environments. You will find a new option under the Admin section of the Work Portal called Language settings. From there, you can activate additional languages and update the localization of different elements following a simple massive approach.

Customize the Yellow task at risk signal

Process now have a new property called Risk signal. This property defines the time frame in which an activity of the process becomes "at risk" (marked with the yellow icon/semaphore in the Work Portal). The time set will define when a task turns yellow before expiring.

This property applies for all activities of the process and does not consider the Working time schema.

For further information, click here.

Release / reallocate an activity

Activities have a new property called Allow to release. When enabled, the end user allocated to an activity will be able to waive this allocation. Bizagi will re-execute the allocation of the task excluding this user, but maintaining the allocation policies defined.
