Bug Fixes and Improvements
More Reliable Document Output and Formatting
We resolved multiple issues affecting how documents are rendered and displayed after approval.
Improvements include:
Template information now remains visible after document approval
Documents using Aptos, Open Sans, and Proxima Soft now retain the same fonts in generated PDFs
Document formatting consistency is improved between working copies and released versions
Date formats now correctly apply to document field codes (e.g., timestamp fields)
Fixed issue preventing documents from being published due to PDF generation errors
These improvements ensure that your documents maintain traceability to templates and source data, remain consistent and audit-ready in PDF format, and accurately reflect configured property and formatting.
Corrected Document Status Behavior
An issue in document status display has been resolved.
Improvements include:
Documents now correctly transition from "Released for Training" to "Effective" based on effective date
This ensures accurate reflection of document lifecycle status and better visibility for audit and compliance purposes.
More Controlled Change Request Configuration
We improved how Quality Process fields behave in Change Requests.
Improvements include:
The Quality Process field is not restricted when only one valid option exists
This reduces risk of incorrect process selection and unintended deviations from defined Change Control workflows.
Improved Template and SimplerQMS Add-In Behavior
We resolved issues affecting template-based workflows and SimplerQMS Add-In functionality.
Improvements include:
Document properties now load correctly in the SimplerQMS Add-In for template document types
Template approval process errors have been resolved
This ensures consistent use of templates across documents and reliable property management through the SimplerQMS Add-In.
Corrected Access Control for Viewer Users
We fixed an issue where users with Viewer licenses could access content beyond intended permissions.
Improvements include:
Viewer users now only see released documents, as configured
Working copies, templates, and non-released records are no longer visible unless permitted
This update strengthens data integrity, access control, and alignment with internal roles. It also strengthens compliance with controlled document access expectations.
Clearer User Interaction Feedback
We improved how confirmation messages appear after completing workflow actions. Confirmation messages (e.g., "Action 'Approved' completed") no longer overlay primary action buttons, making it easier to see available actions right away.
Improvements include:
Confirmation messages no longer block action buttons
Users can clearly see and confirm their actions during workflow transitions
This supports better usability during document lifecycle transitions.
Improved System Performance and Stability
We addressed performance issues impacting document handling and editing.
Improvements include:
Faster document loading and checkout times
Reduced risk of losing unsaved changes during document editing
More stable document interactions within Microsoft Word integration
This helps your team work more efficiently without interruptions, reduce risk of data loss during document updates, and maintain productivity in daily quality operations.
