Forgotten passwords in mobile apps are a thing of the past in Experience Builder. Along with various sign-up and login options, you can now provide your end users with the ability to recover or change their login credentials, whether it’s your typical email address and password, a one-time password, or a mobile phone number.

With this new release for Workflow Builder comes many improvements, including the ability to now cancel a request in the “Request detail page”, until the moment that an operator is ready to start handling the request. What’s more, tasks can now also be assigned to the requester during the process workflow. Other enhancements include improvements on experience debt, including improved email previews.

All static entities created inside the Case Management framework are now multilingual. With this release, English, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and German are supported. Our new Search API Case_GetCasesByActivity now also returns all your cases by default and enables filtering based on associated activities. Case Management framework helps you accelerate the creation of custom-fit business process applications.

Refresh REST services, import a new OpenAPI specification, and override a consumed REST services specification, so new attributes or APIs can be consumed. Besides increasing productivity, you can now get the necessary changes from the specification file instead of implementing them manually. It will also avoid the need to import the consumed REST service all over again if you delete it.

Create, compose, and send emails in Mobile and Reactive Web apps with the new Built-in Emails Technical Preview feature. Building your emails in Service Studio is easy, intuitive, and you can do it in real time.

Customize your Reactive Web app's URLs for search engine results with the new SEO-friendly URLs Technical Preview feature. You can now create rules in Service Center and customize the URL structure and page names directly in Service Studio.

The new process separates the upgrade of the OutSystems platform from upgrades of OutSystems applications. Now you can upgrade to the latest version of OutSystems and benefit from all the new capabilities, stability and security of the newest version, while applications remain untouched. Each development team will upgrade their apps, on the sequence desired, allowing for better time management and risk control. The new upgrade process avoids the time consuming task of republishing all modules, which means shorter environment unavailability for development related tasks. If a “republish all modules” is desired, it can also be done at any time. This capability is available only when upgrading from any OutSystems version 11 to version 11.12 or later.

Staying on top of technical debt is super important, and the first step is to prevent it from going up. Now you'll be able to filter your report area by creation and reopen date. No more guessing work to track your recent findings, simply filter them by past weeks, sprints, or quarters, and waste no more time tackling your technical debt. Check out our documentation for more information on how to find, filter, and understand the causes of technical debt.

Sometimes, to get something accomplished, you need people from different teams to take different actions before you can move on to the next step. Rather than one having to wait for the other in a sequential order when completing a business process, Workflow Builder now allows people to act on these tasks in unison with parallel flows. This update provides the perfect way to design processes with multiple paths executed in parallel but within the same instance.

First impressions can make a huge difference, and the mobile app sign-up process is often the first time you interact with an end user. Creating an effortless onboarding experience is vital in setting the tone for the rest of their interactions. In Experience Builder, you can now make this process painless with alternatives beyond the standard “What’s your email?” login. Try out other options to help people sign in with a phone number, one-time password, or drawing pattern. Familiarity and speed are the best approaches for getting people to dive into your apps!
