Retention Labeling Handling Improvement
Description:
The Edit Metadata functionality in Document Central has been adjusted when using retention labels:
-
For SharePoint: The View/Edit Metadata action can now be used even when a retention label is applied to a document. The metadata can only not be edited if the document is marked as a Regulatory Record or is locked due to being declared a Record.
-
For Azure Blob Storage: The View/Edit Metadata functionality can be used if the document has a label that soft-labels the document entry.
Additionally, new functions for creating or removing a retention label from a document are now provided in a new Codeunit: "Retention Mgt. Pub" in the Namespace "Simova.DMS.Feature.Compliance.RetentionLabel".
Impact:
Users and developers can now modify document metadata without removing or altering retention labels. This streamlines workflows, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures compliance policies remain enforced while metadata stays accurate and up to date.

Users cannot be opened with Security Group configuration
Description: Resolved an issue where the Users page experienced significant loading delays in environments utilizing Microsoft Azure Security Groups. Previously, opening the page triggered a simultaneous synchronization of all security groups and a validation of every associated Permission Set.

Impact: The User list can now be accessed instantly without any performance degradation within Document Central. Administrators can manage users efficiently, regardless of the size or complexity of their Azure Security Group structure.

Document Dispatch / Document Central Connector – Content Type “Sales Order” is missing in Dispatch Type Setup
Description: Identified an issue where the content type “Sales Order” / “Verkaufsauftrag” is not available in the content type lookup within Document Dispatch – Dispatch Profiles, despite existing in Document Central – Document Library List. The issue is suspected to be caused by an incorrect filter being applied in the content type lookup.
Impact: Users are currently unable to see and select the “Sales Order” / “Verkaufsauftrag” content type in the lookup, which may hinder the correct configuration and use of Document Dispatch profiles. This issue needs to be addressed to ensure all valid content types from Document Central – Document Library List are displayed accurately.

Filling goods receipt fields with the TAB key causes a display error in the fact box
Description: Modified the warehouse receipt process to address an issue where using the TAB key to fill the number series field caused a display error in the FactBox.
