New minor release

PhenixID Signing Workflow 2.5.0 improves the stability, compatibility and security of your solution, and is recommended for all installations.

Highlights

The highlight for the 2.5.0 release includes the ability edit already created errand.

Edit errand

Prior to this release, the only thing that was possible to update on an errand was the expiration time. If the wrong person was invited as a signer, or someone was missing, a solicitor had to delete the old errand and create a new one. Signers who had already signed the document had to sign again. This release adds the possibility for the solicitor (via GUI or API) to edit an already existing errand.

• Signers that hasn't yet signed can be removed
• New signers can be added
• The description of the errand can be updated
• The priority order for signers who hasn't yet been invited (in queue) can be changed

Reminding signers

In the configuration its possible that a email reminder is sent prior to the errand expires. Now a solicitor can also trigger a reminder email to a signer that hasn't yet signed by clicking a button in the GUI.

Improved functions

• SWF graphical issues (mobile responsiveness) has been resolved

Bug fixes

• IGA-467 Do not log out when changing language’
