Introducing Long Running Workflows
We are excited to introduce Long Running Workflows, a new type of project in Studio that enables you to model and automate complex business processes using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) concepts.
With long running workflows, you can create business processes with complex workflows that integrate automated, human, and decision-based tasks while making use of UI, API, and API-powered capabilities.
Long running workflows feature a new designer and dedicated activities such as tasks, events, and gateways.
For more information on how to create and configure a long running automation, refer to Long Running Workflows in the Studio guide.
For more details about what dedicated activities you can use in your long running workflows, refer to Flowchart Builder Activities in the Workflow Activities guide.
Integration Service connectors in Manage Packages
You can now browse, add, and remove Integration Service connectors directly from the Manage Packages window, making it easier to discover and access third-party applications. To learn more, refer to Managing Connectors.
New show/hide panels
The show/hide panels functionality allows you to customize the layout of your workspace by displaying or hiding specific panels or groups of panels. This feature helps optimize screen space and allows you to bring in focus only the panels relevant to your project.
To show or hide a panel, navigate to the Title Bar and select the setup you would like to have. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts below:
- Ctrl + B - Show/hide left panels.
- Ctrl + ` - Show/hide bottom panels.
- Ctrl + Alt + B - Show/hide right panels.
- Ctrl + Alt + Z - Show/hide all panels.
Word wrap in the Expression Editor
The word wrap functionality in the Expression Editor ensures that long expressions automatically wrap to the next line instead of extending beyond the visible area. This makes it easier to view and edit complex expressions without horizontal scrolling.
The functionality is enabled by default, but you can disable it from the word wrap
button.
Other improvements
- You can view dates and times as either local or relative to UTC in activity fields that use the Date and time selector.
- You can now include your email address in the Send Feedback window, allowing our product team to reach out for more details about your feedback.
- Using special character quotes
"(0x201C) in strings caused a JIT compilation error at runtime in Windows projects. - The Export as Image context menu option did not work as expected in flowchart workflows.
- Renaming arguments in a library added as a dependency and republishing the library prevented the custom activity from being displayed as expected after updating the library version.
- Studio became unresponsive when debugging some projects that contained a large number of test cases.
- The connections between flowchart activities were not visible in some projects.
- The Project Type drop-down menu in the New Template window was not keyboard accessible and was not announced by screen readers when focused.
- Creating or opening a project on a machine that was not connected to the internet was slower than expected.
