ProcessMaker Platform Release Notes

ProcessMaker Platform Release Notes.

Overview

Release Date: April 3, 2023.

Introducing ProcessMaker Platform

ProcessMaker Platform, our latest enterprise product release, is a state-of-the-art, cloud-based SaaS solution that seamlessly integrates all of our previous releases into a unified platform. Create BPMN 2.0-compliant business processes using the ProcessMaker 4 platform's low-code approach. Design and deploy automated workflows that deliver true digital agility to your organization.

Release notes are cumulative with all previous ProcessMaker 4.x releases, and document new features, improvements, bug fixes, and/or known issues associated with this release unless otherwise noted.

Who Can Use ProcessMaker Platform?

All existing ProcessMaker 4 users automatically upgrade to ProcessMaker Platform seamlessly and continue to leverage best-in-class technology. The transition will not disrupt their ongoing business operations and they do not need to take any additional actions to benefit from this release.

For users on ProcessMaker 3, the minimum version required for an upgrade to ProcessMaker Platform is 3.8.0. Once upgraded, ProcessMaker 3 customers can access/edit all their current ProcessMaker 3 processes using the PM Classic feature. However, any new processes must be created in ProcessMaker Platform.

What's New?

With the introduction of ProcessMaker Platform comes the following core improvements available to all ProcessMaker Platform designers, including those using the Open-Source edition:

• Using a more well designed interface, import and export Processes and their related assets into your ProcessMaker Platform instance, thereby allowing organizations to share complete business solutions or only selected assets thereof. The business solution may include but not limited to Screens, Scripts, as well as all configured Enterprise package assets designed in that solution. With these improvements, Process designers and business analysts can more quickly deploy a complete business solution to production.

• Assign Tasks more easily and with greater flexibility. As part of this improvement, dynamically assign a Task from the value of a Request variable.

The new IDP package integrates ProcessMaker's intelligent document processing (IDP) solution, called ProcessMaker IDP, into the ProcessMaker Platform. After ProcessMaker IDP has been trained to process a particular type of document, automatically add new documents via ProcessMaker Platform, process them, and then store them in ProcessMaker IDP folders.

With these powerful new features and improvements, ProcessMaker provides businesses best-in-class with the flexibility and efficiency they need to succeed in today's fast-paced marketplace.
