Application extensibility

when.field.changes hook for maintain sessions

Until now it was only possible to extend the when.field.changes hook for print sessions and processing sessions.

This hook is now also available for maintain sessions. This applies to standard fields and Customer Defined Fields (CDF). Therefore, warning messages can be programmed for specifying data in maintain sessions.

Report Designer - Enhanced support for conditional formatting

In the Report Designer, the functionality for conditional formatting is enhanced. You can now define rules on report objects of type Label and Special. In the previous releases, it was already possible to define rules for either the whole layout or data fields. Now objects of type Label or Special are also supported.

Report Designer - Support barcodes holding a large dataset (>768 char)

The Report Designer now supports barcodes that hold datasets larger than 768 characters. This feature fulfills the business requirements to print QR codes, that represent large generated URLs, on forms. For example, secure connections to websites of governments make use of that type of URLs.
