OpenText™ AppWorks™ is a low-code development platform for building smart, engaging and easy-to-deploy process automation and dynamic case management applications. It empowers everyday users to quickly automate critical business processes while offering deep integrations into leading ECM platforms to harness the power of enterprise content for improved process efficiency. Check out the latest OpenText of Cloud Editions (CE) announcement to learn more about the most recent release.  

July 2023: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks CE 23.3 

Recent enhancements provide users with the ability to attach user-generated documents or files when sending an email, i.e., invoices or quotes, as well as the ability to attach documents or files from content management systems such as OpenText™ Extended ECM, OpenText™ Documentum™, OpenText™ AppEnhancer, etc., which was previously supported. This new capability ensures that all attachments are archived along with the email, regardless of the attachments’ origin.  

Additionally, the user experience has been further enhanced by enabling users to more easily manage email templates directly from the AppWorks home screen and refine search criteria when working with a global email address book. 

For OpenText™ Contract Center, recent enhancements allow business users to create and save charts and reports in the application without assistance from an application administrator.

April 2023: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks CE 23.2 

In AppWorks Cloud Edition (CE) 23.2, recent enhancements include integration with OpenText™ Core Signature to provide secure, enterprise-grade, digital signature capabilities for signing quotes, contracts and other documents in a fast, compliant and hassle-free way. This release also includes enhancements for email templates, enabling users to create and modify email templates directly from the AppWorks home screen, as well as enhanced integration with OpenText™ Intelligent Viewing, a cloud-first universal file viewing solution that allows users to view, compare, search, highlight, redact, annotate and publish documents.   

OpenText™ Contract Center now includes support for OpenText™ Documentum™, as well as advanced search capabilities and the ability to customize and configure the user dashboard, including default layouts based on roles. Users can now add, remove, and/or rename tiles, update tiles with a new list, and expand or collapse tiles as desired. 

February 2023: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks CE 23.1 

This release includes enhancements to the ‘Deadline’ and ‘Notification’ building blocks to support the configuration of complex escalation/notification rules on tasks. It also introduces pre-defined list filters which can work alongside end-user defined filters, plus shortcuts that streamline navigation between items. 

This release also features several enhancements to OpenText™ Contract Center, including configurable data-entry forms for each organization and contract type, global contract search, the ability to save and re-use search criteria, and options to preview and export search results and link related workspaces, i.e., vendor, customer, etc. 

October 2022: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks CE 22.4 

Enhancements in AppWorks Cloud Edition (CE) 22.4 include support for Git, GitHub and GitLab, improved audit capabilities, easier navigation from lists, user-enabled dynamic workflows that can reduce the burden on developers, dynamic layouts that use rules to hide information and ensure data privacy, and a low-code EIS Connector that allows consumption of REST APIs without the need to write code. 

August 2022: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks CE 22.3

Recent enhancements give developers more control over UI responsiveness and how users are able to interact with items presented in a grid view. Additionally, the user profile page has been updated to provide an option to select a preferred locale for the user interface, and further enhancements to integration with OpenText™ Documentum™ gives users more control when versioning and renaming documents from AppWorks applications.

June 2022: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks CE 22.2

Recent enhancements include a new interactive report view for lists that allows end users to gain insight into their data, enhanced integrations with OpenText™ Documentum™ and OpenText™ AppEnhancer™ (formerly OpenText™ ApplicationXtender) and a new user profile feature that allows application users to update their profile image and manage up to five email signatures in their user profile, including a default signature.

Enhancements to the contract obligations feature in OpenText™ Contract Center further increase efficiency by allowing users to set timers for contractual commitments and add escalation instructions to provide additional clarity. Also, contract authors now have the option to add custom rules at the clause level of a contract, improving productivity and enhancing the authoring experience. 

Save time and improve the user experience with a new interactive report view for lists.

February 2021: What’s new in OpenText AppWorks Cloud CE 22.1 

In Cloud Edition (CE) 22.1, new REST APIs for integrating AppWorks’ task management and business workspace with other systems provide a modern approach to integration – one that performs well, is highly scalable, simple, and easy to modify and extend. In addition, improved error handling capabilities make it easier for a caseworker to recognize and correct mistakes and exceptions.  

For OpenText™ Contract Center, a new Obligation Management feature allows contractual obligations to be defined, managed and tracked, increasing staff efficiency and ensuring commitments are visible and appropriately managed. Additional personalization options offer users greater control over email notifications, and an enhanced UI provides more space on the screen, making it easier to find relevant contract details. 

Define, manage and track contractual obligations for greater insight and visibility.

Enhancements include the ability for users to save filters for reuse, a streamlined UI for faster performance and a refreshed layout for case histories with business-friendly messages that provide a holistic view of a case. In OpenText™ Contract Center, CE 21.4 enables business analysts to add attributes on their own. 

Additional AppWorks Case Accelerator enhancements help developers get a head start on building applications, and a new JavaScript API for the AppWorks client simplifies customizations. The API allows your custom code to embed seamlessly into the end-user experience.
