Change Log

v3.6

• Fixed an issue with uploading files that contained certain special characters.

• Resolved a permissions issue that occurred when deleting old logs.

• Added an alert to notify users about a credentials reset when changing the authentication provider.

• Introduced a new "Data" tab in the Filenize Config. This page enables Filenize admins to clear Filenize Logs, with more features planned for future updates.

• Reduced overhead in the initial Filenize automated action call, resulting in a slight performance improvement.

v3.5

• Fixed an issue with the ‘Type__c' field on 'Field_Column__c' that lacked the new picklist value 'Choice.'. (the value still needs to be added manually to support Choice columns, but won’t result in an error anymore. You can review the 3.4 note below on how to add the picklist value)

• Fixed an issue wherein the Filenize invocable actions would stop due to a 'Tunnel through proxy' error, specifically identified as error 503. Similar to standard 503 errors, these are now automatically retried after a brief delay.

• Fixed an issue where Filenize configuration would break when an unsupported Auth Provider was selected.

• Fixed an issue with the polling mechanism which would not stop properly on location change.

• Added a new path format that would wrap on path level instead of spaces. In addition, the last level is now bold.

v3.4

• Fixed an issue where the "Skip if no user is found" flag was being ignored when the underlying user exists, but its Active Directory (AD) counterpart changed its internal email.

• Fixed an issue where the “Load More” button was not shown on certain folders.

• Fixed an issue where the Last Modified Date was not shown properly.

• Fixed an issue where some features were not activated without the service user.

• Added an advanced search prompt to help search on indexed columns to prevent the 5000+ items SharePoint error (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-large-lists-and-libraries-b8588dae-9387-48c2-9248-c24122f07c59?redirectsourcepath=%252fen-us%252farticle%252fmanage-large-lists-and-libraries-in-office-365-b4038448-ec0e-49b7-b853-679d3d8fb784).

  • To support indexed columns, we now show a key icon to indicate that the column is indexed.

• Added the functionality to load folders using other values from the record than its Id. This for example allows you to show object-wide folders and folders per lead/opportunity/case status. Options are limitless in combination with formula fields.

• Show a pinning icon to indicate that the current folder is pinned. It also shows the pinning value when hovering over the icon.

• Added support for Choice type column fields.

  • Shows all possible values in the Metadata configuration.

  • Shows a picklist with all options when creating new folders/files (and the column is set as editable).

Open

Have more than 5000 items? Search with indexed columns first!

v3.3

• Minor UI bug fixes.

• Minor performance/caching fixes.

• Added support for coloring folders through a new invocable action

  • This does not currently color the folders in Filenize; it only affects Sharepoint Online. Microsoft has not yet released the updated icons in their styling framework. We will monitor this change and apply the update to Filenize once it is available.

Open

Filenize can color your folders!

v3.2 (AppExchange Ready Patch)

• Additional FLS checks applied and added more asserts to unittests (AppExchange ready!)

• Fixed an issue that shows the parent folder even though the option is disabled.

• Fixed an issue showing an error about nodes when “No folder related to this Salesforce record was found in SharePoint.“.

• Fixed an issue not showing all metadata values during search.

• Fixed an issue that did not show a file icon if the file type was unknown.

• Fixed an issue where some special characters were not being filtered.

  • A run is the execution of the parent action and stores information about the executions lifetime. An action can be retried which results in a new run.

• Fixed an issue with the 400 characters folder/file limit check.

• Fixed an issue uploading files bigger than the Salesforce limitation.

v2.10

• Added a folder check for existence before creating a subfolder, avoiding a 500 server error if a folder is not found (https://bitbucket.org/7dots_eu/bf-filenize/issues/3/creating-a-subfolder-in-a-nonexisting ).

• Added an option to the Lightning Component to enable/disable folder creation.

• Fixed an issue where some actions were failing if the given path was not explicit.

• Fixed an issue that caused too many ConnectAPI calls to query the new Named Credential.

• Some changes to improve performance.

v2.9

• Removed the need for a callout to get domain information for every UI to server interaction

  • Fixes the “Connect API’s hourly request limit“ that is relevant now with the support of External Credentials

  • Improves UI loading performance

• Fixed an issue with the flow diagnose UI polling and the queueable server polling that would cause DML conflicts and the server to wait endlessly. This issue started after 2.8.

v2.8

• Error handling now collects more data and tries to present the correct information and solution. In addition, on permission errors, a separate diagnosis is started to find the root cause of the lacking permission.

• Filenize now supports External Credentials and shows a deprecated warning when using legacy Named Credentials. External Credentials comes with extra end-user functionality:

  • The authentication is directly started when using the Log In button. No more going through personal settings

  • After authentication, the user is redirected back to the configuration/record page instead of the Salesforce home page

  • Named Principle access is supported for the normal authentication (was only Per User Principle before). Allowing you to use Filenize with one specific SharePoint user. Do note that user-specific functions (sharing/unsharing) will always use the SharePoint user that did the authentication, not the running user.

• IMPORTANT: Changed the behavior of the Filenize User permission set. The Filenize User permission set needs to be set to all users, including admins. The Filenize admin permission set is an addition. Recommended is to also use the Filenize User permission set for your External Credential mapping

• Filenize will now sync the user when using the Lightning Component. Before this was only done so in the configuration page. The method call is asynchronous and does not impact loading.

• User Status now shows filters for status Synced and Not Connected

• User Status now shows the user avatars instead of a fixed icon

• User Status now shows the User Principle identifier instead of the Id. As the Id can differ between sites, the User Principle stays static. In addition, the User Principle is useful for detecting if the authentication was done by the same person.

• Flow Diagnose now shows transactions descending

• Flow Diagnose now shows the completed date instead of the last modified date

• Flow Diagnose errors are now only shown if not seen before

• Invocable flows now conform to a new interface called FilenizeProcessable which supports the use of process record manipulation and additional logging. All Filenize invocables implemented this interface. FilenizeActionable is deprecated

  • Additional logging is stored on the Process records within the Log field

  • The Share and Unshare invocable now populated the target user if found, if not then this is stated in the logging field. The field can be used for reporting/notification purposes, which are out of scope of the Managed Package itself

• The ordering of components within the Configuration screen has changed. The three new sections are “Authentication”, “Service User Authentication” (optional), and “Configuration”

• Manage Access now also shows the access applied by inheritance, before only access rules were shown when inheritance was off

• Invocable actions from the Filenize package now comes with custom icons!

• Fixed an issue with showing mulltiple loading overlays

• Fixed an issue where the Filenize component was not refreshed properly on record updates

• Added leading zero's to the references in the Filenize Flow action logs

• Fixed an issue where some batches would exceed the DML or SOQL limitation
