2320 | Directly map Machine Learning model output data to records in Agiloft | Agiloft AI Core Machine Learning actions can now be used to directly map outputs from clause and metadata extraction models into one or more records due to new sections that have been added to the Task tab of the Machine Learning action wizard, and the addition of a new Import Action feature.
If "Update a single record" is selected, an option to "Choose the Record Based on ID" appears which always you to choose the record that should be updated.
If "Create/update multiple records" is selected, the output is converted into a JSON field. A new feature of the Import Action allows you to map the JSON output into the table and fields of your choice. This can create multiple new records or be used to update specific fields in existing records.
For information on how to configure a Machine Learning action using the new features, see the Extracting Content section of Extracting Data with AI. |
203466 |
2309 | Retrieve artifacts after model training |
In the Training tab of an AI Model record, data scientists can now download the full set of training
artifacts, or outputs, for more detail on the model training metrics. You can now download the full set of
training artifacts to a zip file.
There are separate zip files for each instance of training that the model has undergone. These zip files
contain text documents with detailed information about the model's training data, such as the model's
confusion matrix, confidence scores per label, total scores, and validation results.
To download these zip files, simply navigate to the Training tab of the relevant AI Model record and
click the artifact file you would like to download. Once you have the file downloaded, unzip it to access
the individual documents.

2328 | Import JSON text to other Agiloft fields |
Pull data directly from a JSON source field into other fields in Agiloft with a new Import action function.
JSON source fields are text fields that are designed to contain JSON objects. This enhancement is
especially useful for processing Machine Learning models where the output is JSON-formatted text into
multiple records, although JSON text can be useful in scripting and other contexts as well. After the JSON
text is added to the JSON source field, you can map relevant values to other fields.
When an Import action runs on a text field that contains data, the system parses the content and
outputs the selected data as text to a new record. This data, seen under the Sample Data column in the
image below, can be mapped to relevant text fields in the new record by configuring the Fields tab of
the Import Action. For example, in the second image below the JSON attributes for the job title of the
contract signee and the name of the contract signee is the Sample Data, and can be mapped to fill fields
such as Job Title and Employee, respectively.
To set up an Import action to parse a JSON Source field:

2317 | Access Amazon SageMaker with an Agiloft-managed AWS account |
If you're interested in using Amazon SageMaker with the Agiloft AI Core, but are unable to provide your
own AWS account, Agiloft can configure and manage a dedicated AWS account to host your machine
learning models. Agiloft AI Core uses Amazon SageMaker to build, train, and deploy machine learning
models. To deploy the AI Credential for Amazon SageMaker in Agiloft, you need to connect to an active
AWS account during setup.
It is recommended to use your own AWS accounts when possible. If you choose to have Agiloft create
and maintain an AWS account for you, the cost of maintaining this account is passed on as part of your
regular invoice. An Enterprise Extended license is not required for integration with Amazon SageMaker.
To discuss how your company can request an AWS account, contact your sales representative or email
sales@agiloft.com.

2306 | Office 365 Retiring Basic Authentication |
If you use a Microsoft Exchange or Office 365 email account as an inbound email address with Agiloft, you must update your configuration by October 2020 to Microsoft's new authentication requirements. Otherwise, when the new requirements are put in effect, these email accounts will stop working.
To update your configuration, you need to configure Agiloft to connect with Azure Active Directory, and then update the affected email accounts with your Azure credentials to perform authentication. Refer to Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 Email Accounts for detailed steps. |

2327 | Easily export HTML and XML content as plain text |
HTML and XML formatting can be difficult to work with in exported data, especially if that data is used for reporting or passed on to another system or process. Now, KB content that is represented in HTML or XML can automatically be exported as plain text instead, stripping out unnecessary code and tags. This option is available in several export workflows:
This option is turned off by default.
|
|
2366 | Use OCR actions to generate plain text output |
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) actions in Agiloft have become more flexible thanks to a new
option that allows users to store the output as a plain text file. Plain text files are much easier to work
with if you need to do additional processing on the OCR output, such as parsing the text or passing it to
an integrated system. Previously, all OCR output was in PDF format.
To use this new option, create or edit an OCR action, navigate to the Options tab, and select Text in the
new Output File Format option. For more information, see OCR Action.
|
206339 |
2333 | New option to ignore errors in OCR actions |
OCR actions now have improved flexibility for handling errors when the action is run by a rule. The
OCR action wizard now offers the option to ignore errors from corrupted PDFs, which allows the rule to
continue running even if a corrupted document causes a problem with the OCR action. For example, if
you use a rule to run OCR on batches of files, ignoring errors allows the rest of the batch to be processed
after encountering one corrupted file. Previously, these errors caused the rule to stop running entirely.
This option has no effect on actions run by action buttons. If a corrupted document causes an error in
this case, all actions from the action button stop running.
For more information about OCR actions, see OCR Action.

2310 | New sync utility to identify and repair linked field issues |
If you need to run an entity set sync with linked field auto-propagation disabled, you can use a new utility to analyze and repair linked field issues that arose from the sync. The new LF Propagation Check utility checks the KB for records where the value of a linked field is misleading or missing. These records are listed in a report and broken down by table, making it easy to check individual records. You can use the Repair LF or Repair All LFs button to automatically attempt a repair for the linked field value. The repair options generate their own report on what was changed to repair the record.
To run the utility:

2314 | New warning when running sync without linked field auto-propagation |
Running a sync without linked field auto-propagation now triggers a warning. This warning advises the user that potential side effects may occur, and to make sure this option is disabled on purpose. Linked field auto-propagation is important for sync because it makes sure linked fields are populated correctly when they are transferred or changed. Sometimes this feature is disabled on purpose, such as if the KBs involve a large number of records or a lot of linked field columns. This warning helps prevent users from accidentally leaving the option disabled.
Linked field auto-propagation is enabled and disabled using a Setup Assistant command. For more information, see Pushing Changes to Production. |
|
2313 | Entity set dependencies report now includes records |
Syncing an entity set sometimes requires syncing records as well as entities, usually when a record is
used as a default value or search condition. Previously, these records were not visible anywhere before
or during sync, which made it difficult to prepare for or troubleshoot them. Now, when you select an
entity set and click Report Entity Set Dependencies, the report includes a Records tab that lists any
records being synced as dependencies.
In general, sync is not intended to transfer records. This feature was added for visibility and to make it
easier to troubleshoot sync issues and adequately prepare for any necessary cleanup in the target KB
after sync.
For more information about sync, see Pushing Changes to Production.
|
207638, 207624 |
2311 | Final sync reports now include report on transferred records |
After completing an entity set sync, the final sync report now includes a linked report on any records
that may have been transferred. While sync is not generally used to transfer record data, records are
sometimes included as dependencies, usually when a record is used as a default value or search
condition. This report makes it easier to review all the transferred records so they can be checked in the
target KB after sync.
The record includes the type of record, record ID, and summary value in both the source and target
KBs, the sync operation, and the sync progress.
|
207626 |
2296 | Improved sync performance | Running sync from an entity set which includes one or more tables that are new to the target KB have
been optimized to be quicker and more efficient. This improvement is especially noticeable during an
indirect sync when a carrier KB file is created, as carrier KB files are created from scratch and do not
contain any tables by default. |
202976, 202975 |
2299 | Control KB export permission for admins |
Exporting a KB is resource-intensive and can involve a lot of sensitive data. You can now use a global
variable in the Admin Console to control whether administrators have permission to export KBs in Agiloft
format in the Power User Interface. Removing this permission can avoid performance and disk space
problems by preventing multiple or very large exports on servers where several KBs are hosted
together.
By default, this variable is set to Yes, so admins do not lose access unless you change the variable
setting. If you change the variable to No, admins can no longer select the Agiloft option on the Data
Format tab, which prevents exporting complete KBs. Admins are still able to export the data in the KB
using a different data format.
To view or change this global variable, log in to the Admin Console and go to General > Variables
and edit the "Allow KB admins to export their KB" global variable. Set the value to No to restrict access;
set the value to Yes to provide access.

2318 | Python upgraded to version 3.7.4 | The default version of Python has been upgraded to 3.7.4. By default, previous versions of Python are
not supported. If you need to use a different version of Python, go to Setup > System > Manage Global Variables, locate the "Location of external Python directory" global variable, and enter the location of the appropriate Python version in the format "python.dir=/filepath". For example: externalpythonlocation=/user/bin/ |
|
2297 | File size limits now checked before upload |
When a File with Versioning field has a maximum file size defined, the system now checks the size of
the selected files before processing the actual upload. This saves time for the user, who no longer has to
wait for the whole file to upload before learning the file is too large.

2338 | Export data in a JSON array |
When exporting record data in JSON format, the output format is now a JSON array that contains all the JSON objects, instead of exporting each line as an independent JSON object. JSON arrays are more efficient for storing groupings of similar items. You can initiate an export from Actions > Export in the action bar of a table, or create and run an Export Action. Ensure that JSON is selected on the Data Format tab. For more information about exporting data, see Exporting Record Data.
Previously, each selected record was exported as an individual JSON line. Now, each selected record is exported as an object within the JSON array. You can essentially store each record in a given table within one JSON array. |
208689 |
2342 | Create unlimited drill-down levels in charts | Deeply analyze your data with unlimited drill-down levels in charts. Previously, charts supported only
four levels of drill-down filters. |
206433 |
2361 | Include History with Export actions | Export actions now support including History field content in the export file as long as the output format
is either XML or JSON. Previously, History field content could not be exported with an Export action using
any output format. |
208318 |
2364 | Show no new values for History entries | The History field setting "Show the new value for these fields" now allows you to deselect all fields. This
configuration option results in the History field showing no field updates in the Modified Fields column.
Updated values will still be visible within each individual History entry. |
206929 |
2346 | Export unlimited multi-value linked field values | Exporting is no longer limited to the first 100 values of linked fields with multiple values enabled (MVE).
Now, all values are exported. |
209690 |
2340 | Corrected available configuration settings for Calculate Risk Score actions |
The options for "After executing actions" now appear in the General tab of the Action Button wizard
during the configuration of a Calculate Risk Score action. Previously, these options were not available for
this type of action.
|
208301 |
2330 | Generate DIFF files from Agiloft with fewer errors |
Generating a DIFF file, or difference file, when comparing Agiloft KBs including inactive tables no
longer causes an error. Previously, file generation in this situation could result in an error.
|
208800 |
2354 | Use hotlinks to direct to desktop version on mobile devices |
SAML SSO login hotlinks now offer a parameter that always directs the user to the Power User
Interface, even on mobile devices. To use this in a hotlink, include $notmobile=true in the SSO login URL.
For example: https://<server>/gui2/samlssologin.jsp?kb=<kbname>?$notmobile=true
For more information about hotlinks and their construction, see Hyperlink Syntax and Examples.
|
208517 |
2348 | Increased security on invalid login warnings | The invalid login warning shown when an account is locked has been made more secure. The warning
now exposes less detail, making the content of the warning safer in the event of an attempted
unauthorized login. These warnings no longer include the lock time or the number of invalid login
attempts remaining. |
207784 |
2347 | Improved error message for History table size issue | When the row size limit is exceeded for the History table, the system now shows an informative error
message stating that the table contains too many columns and might be approaching the database limit. |
208998 |
2341 | Security improvements |
Agiloft has added the following security improvements:
|
205206,205207 |
2344 | Fixed sync of conversion options | Fixed a sync issue where Conversions Mappings did not successfully transfer the option "Do not map null values". This option now syncs correctly. | 205065, 205064 |
2343 | Fixed sync of Relationship Diagram fields | Fixed a sync issue where Relationship Diagram fields did not successfully transfer all configuration
options. Now, all options for this data type sync properly. |
205019, 2050726 |
2337 | Fixed sync error for KBs with inactive tables | You can now sync an entity set without issue even if the entity set contains tables that are inactive in
one of the KBs. Previously, this function could occasionally cause errors. |
208600 |
2355 | MySQL-connector Python module | The native Agiloft installation of Python now includes the MySQL-connector module by default. Python
scripts can use this module directly without manual installation. |
208403 |
2350 | SELinux installation support | The Agiloft installer now supports Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) operating systems. Previously,
Agiloft could not be installed with SELinux. |
207789,207790 |
2329 | Corrected logic for deactivating system tables | To protect system stability and ensure the system functions as expected, system tables are no longer
available for deactivation. Tables that were created by users or as part of the standard system are still
available for deactivation as needed. A list of system tables can be found here. |
209027 |
2339 | Corrected permissions logic for Chart/Report widgets | An issue in Chart/Report widgets, which previously allowed users to view reports without having the appropriate permissions, is now fixed. | 208447 |
2336 | Fixed MySQL connector issue in custom MySQL installations | An installer failure that could occur when a remote MySQL instance is used with a custom MySQL Connector location has been fixed. When working with custom databases, always follow the steps described on the Installation with Custom Databases page. | 209846,209863 |
2352 | General performance improvements |
In general, performance has been improved in multiple areas:
|
204165, 203938 |
2334 | Fixed memory leaks | Fixed memory leaks on linked field structures, running drill-down charts, and working in system wizards. | 208968 |
2362 | Fixed issue with Import for Append-Only fields | Fixed an issue when importing content to an append-only text field where the "Overwrite with new
data" option was ignored in some cases. Now, this option is consistently respected, and the imported
content replaces the existing content instead of being appended. |
204743 |
2360 | Fixed linked field population for related record creation | Fixed an issue with linked fields that occurred when a new record was created from a related table.
The error limited the number of linked values available for selection in a drop-down display to 50. This
limitation was removed. |
204839, 204838 |
2365 | Fixed creation of Linked Fields with long names | Fixed a problem that prevented the creation of a new linked field set if the source table name was
extremely long. |
207519 |
2363 | Fixed email template team visibility | Fixed an issue with email template visibility where a template's allowed teams were compared only to
the user's primary team, rather than all the user's teams. Now, email templates are visible when any of
a user's teams match the template's allowed teams. |
207081 |
2359 | Fixed DocuSign Connect issue | Fixed an issue that prevented DocuSign Connect from integrating when the KB name contains spaces. | 207666 |
2358 | Fixed record creation hotlinks for SAML SSO | Fixed SAML SSO hotlinks that redirect users to pages where they can create new records. Now, SAML SSO hotlinks such as https://server.agiloft.com/gui2/samlssologin.jsp?kb=KB&State=New:Contract correctly direct the user to the record creation page. Previously, these hotlinks brought users to the main page instead. | 204400 |
2357 | Fixed exit handling for SAML SSO hotlinks | Fixed incorrect exit redirections for SAML SSO hotlinks. Now, SAML SSO hotlinks no longer ignore the exitURL and cancelURL parameters. | 202866 |
2353 | Fixed linked field issue in Salesforce integration | Fixed an issue that prevented linked field sets from being updated properly between Agiloft and
Salesforce when the integration includes custom objects within Salesforce. |
