Product Enhancements

Add the Ability to Generate Shared Form Work Orders Using the EDM (SB-1257)

Added the ability to send Shared Form Work Orders in addition to Standard Work Orders in the EDM Project Manager. Additionally, the Work Order Details section is automatically changed when swapping between Standard and Shared Form Work Order Types.

Update the Enterprise Dispatch Module to Use the Work Order REST API Endpoint (SB-3370)

Updated all of the web service calls made by new Projects created for the Enterprise Dispatch Module (EDM) to now use the Work Orders and Integration Endpoints in the REST API instead of the legacy SOAP API. Existing EDM Projects will continue to use the legacy SOAP API unless manually changed.

Create New Windows-Based Application Installers using the WiX Toolset (SB-3426)

Created new Application Installers using the WiX Toolset for Forms Designer, the DIM, the DUU, and the EDM. One major change to the installation wizard is that there is now an Options button on the initial screen that allows you to configure the Installation Folder Location. 

Update the EDM to Use Browser Authentication to Support Single Sign-On (SSO) Activation (SB-3469)

Updated the EDM to now use the browser to facilitate Integration Suite App activation using either the Standard Login or the Single Sign-On (SSO) instead of activating within the EDM Admin Utility.

Update the Sync Process to Remove Deleted Users in the User Mapping Tab in the EDM Admin Utility (SB-3680)

Updated the Sync process found in the User Mapping tab in the EDM Admin Utility to automatically remove Users that have been deleted for the activated Company in the EDM installation.

Replace the EDM Project Manager UI to Match the DIM Project Manager (SB-3774)

Updated the EDM Project Manager to use the same type of drag and drop Mapping UI the DIM Project Manager has and removed the flashing when the mouse is over a Region in the Form section of the UI. Additionally, the Work Order Details have been moved to a grid instead of graphical icons.

Update the Mapping Options in the New UI for Both Work Order Types in the EDM Project Manager (SB-3837)

Updated the Work Order Details section with simplified drop-down options or more relevant field types for both Standard and Shared Form Work Order Types in the EDM Project Manager.

Add the Ability to Make Standard Work Orders Folder Specific in the EDM (SB-3911)

Add the ability to set a Folder in the EDM Project Manager for Standard Work Orders and updated the EDM Dispatching Service to now include a Folder Assignment if defined in the EDM Project for Standard Work Orders.

Update the User Authentication Process to Prompt within the App in the EDM (SB-3950)

Updated the User Authentication process for activation and sync'ing User data in the EDM Admin Utility to now stay within an embedded window when using a Company ID, Username, and Password, and to open the User's default Internet browser when using Single Sign-On (SSO). When SSO Authentication completes, the User can click the Continue button on the Portal page to be prompted to return to EDM Admin Utility. The updated User Authentication process will take effect in the Portal 03.25.2025 Release.
