ATLAS Firma Release Notes 1.3.16

New Features And Enhancements:

• Parallel Signing Workflow

  • Multiple Steps Signing at Once
    Parallel signing now allows multiple signers to sign without a predefined order. A signer can be assigned to multiple steps and different workflows.

  • Signature Block Visibility
    In parallel signature workflow mode, signature blocks not assigned to the current signer are now semi-transparent, making it easier for current signer to identify their required actions. 

    

  • Parallel Workflow Editing Restrictions
    Editing the parallel override switch is disabled during signing mode
  • Dashboard Sign Button
    The "Sign" button now appears whenever any current step is assigned to the user, not just the first step.
  • Reject Button Behavior
    Once all signature steps for a signer are completed, the "Reject" button is no longer visible.
  • Reroute Step in Parallel Forms
    Rerouting a form now behaves appropriately when multiple current steps exist.

  • Combining Sequential and Parallel Workflows
    Form owners can now combine both parallel and sequential workflows within a single form. This allows sections of the form where signers can sign in any order (parallel), as well as sections where signatures must follow a specific sequence (sequential). This enhancement provides greater flexibility in designing approval and signature processes. 

    

• Dashboard and User Preferences Improvements

  • Awaiting Signature Filter
    Added a toggle in the user profile to preset the dashboard filter to "Awaiting my signature."

    

  • Rejected Forms Exclusion
    Rejected forms are no longer displayed when the "Awaiting Signature" filter is active.
  • Reactive Archive and Delete
    Archiving or deleting a form from the dashboard now triggers a balloon notification without reloading the page.

  • Signature Transparency Option
    Users can now enable a transparent background for their signature image via a new profile setting. 

    

• Additional Improvements

  • Display of Rejection Details
    The "View Form" page now displays who rejected a form and the reason for rejection. 

    

  • Magic Wand Feature for Signature Steps
    The new Wand feature enables automatic creation of a signature step after configuring the previous one. This streamlines the setup process, saving time and reducing manual effort. 

    

  • Local Time Display
    Signature timestamps now display the correct local time instead of UTC in both the signature block and the Add Signature modal window.
