What's New in Web UI 11.1
Upload Experience for Large Files
Web UI provides a safe experience when uploading files, even for large files in the 75gb range and when the upload goes on for hours due to a slow connection.
If a network problem happens, guidance is provided so that you can decide what to do with the situation: e.g. create the document anyway and upload the attachment later.
Advanced Validation Logic for Forms
Form validation offers advanced options:
- Logic can be executed asynchronously to call a third party service
- Server-side logic can also check the input and trigger an error that will be made visible to the user
Easier to Find and Read Audit Entries
The document history tab displays the time for each entry along with the date. Advanced filtering options are also available to filter actions per user, action or category.
Workflow Task Endpoint is Paginated
All requests made to the workflow task endpoint paginate results instead of retrieving all tasks. This leads to better performance for the home dashboard, the tasks list and the tasks dashboard.
Users can still scroll through the list of tasks as usual in order to retrieve more of them.
Polymer 3 Migration
Web UI uses Polymer 3 instead of Polymer 2.
This is a technical change that happens under the hood, and backwards compatibility is ensured for applications built on top of Nuxeo Web UI. For the technical details, refer to the upgrade notes.
Styling Improvements
Layouts generated using Nuxeo Studio include a nuxeo-styles module in order to provide a consistent look and feel to your configuration. A new CSS option (mixin) can be added to your themes to override the default styling of any widget included in a layout, for instance to change the spacing rules.[NXP-27652]
