Release notes version 3.7.0

Loading speed “My forms” and “My actions”

The loading speed of “My Forms” and “My Actions” has been greatly improved. These overviews are now easily usable even in large environments.

Improvements

We have done many small improvements to make using LeanForms even smoother.

• A multi-line text box automatically grows to the height required for the number of lines used.
• Validation of required fields in LeanForms management has been clarified.
• Images can now be added directly to the question text using the Image Browser.
• When adding recipients to a mail in the route, a ; is automatically inserted if necessary.
• For the Y-axis of graphs, it is now possible to set the start value and end value yourself.
• When changing the own user’s language, the page is immediately reloaded with the new language.
• On survey emails, you can now also use the “System Values” button to insert the relevant tags.
• While a help information popup is open, it is not possible to scroll or open other popups. You have to close the popup first.
• The numbering of the form number after activating the first version now starts at 1, instead of continuing at the last number of the test forms.
• If no results are found when filtering in a dataset, a clear message is displayed.
• After modifying the design of a matrix, when it is closed, the view in the parent design is immediately refreshed.
• The validation on the number of characters is directly displayed while typing. If the number is invalid, the current number is displayed in addition to the limit.
• If the reminder fields on a survey are not mapped, the reminder is sent to the original recipient.
• It is now possible to change the order of permissions. This does not affect functionality, but can provide more overview.
• The column widths set at “My Actions” and “My Forms” are saved per user.
• When switching between route and form design, the scroll position is remembered as long as no changes are made.
• The various views at “My Forms” and “My Actions” are now displayed in tabs.
• In a Word export, a matrix can now display multiple questions and other text in a single cell.
• When activating a form type, the properties are now also saved automatically.
• When choosing a different tab from the Properties tab in form management, you get a warning if there are customizations that have not been saved.
• System values to a mail in route can now also be added directly to the subject.
• For groups, the property “Administrative group” is dropped.
• Profile photos in users and groups have been removed due to limited use and usefulness.
• The table of “Show History” has been improved. It now shows from which step and to which step was forwarded.
• When adding an option to a list, the focus goes back to the description, so you can type right back in.
• The order of attachments when uploading multiple attachments at once is now more consistent.
• The input field for help information of a component has been made larger.

Bug fixes

• After copying a matrix into the form design, reports with questions from the matrix did not work properly.
• When reopening a message in a form where that message had already been shown before saving, you could not close the message.
• Graphs handle it better if a question that was used in the graph is removed.
• The labels at a fixed date filter at a chart are now visible.
• Report dataset did not work with attachments from a matrix.

• The “Type” column when mapping the survey was not always correct. This has been removed.
• If two fields are mapped to the same question when mapping a survey, the survey is now just sent. Only the first mapping is used.
• If a message as “Target” has a question in form, the table of confirmations is no longer shown. It always remained empty. These confirmations can be registered by using the “Copy to question” option.
• Under certain circumstances, it could happen that you could add two new Components to the form design at the same time. This has been fixed.
• Under certain circumstances, the form design could keep scrolling due to the position of the cursor. This has been fixed.

• Saving a form gave an error if there was a very large number of new attachments.
