Platform Director Overview

Version 2.11 brings a series of strategic improvements aimed at enhancing usability, streamlining workflows, and strengthening the platform’s performance. With this release, we’ve focused on making the user experience more intuitive and efficient while ensuring the system remains robust and scalable for future needs.

A strategic enhancement is the ability to configure the Forms Co-Pilot feature to use your own Azure OpenAI instance. This gives organizations greater control and customization of the AI’s responses, and, most importantly, full control over where data is processed and stored. This is a significant consideration for all of our clients using AI.

We have also made a number of improvements to our forms, including the ability to prevent end dates from being set before start dates in forms. This feature addresses a common challenge, ensuring greater data consistency and reducing the risk of errors in project planning. We’ve also made significant improvements to the translation functionality, ensuring that email notifications and summary reports are displayed in the recipient’s preferred language, offering a more personalized experience.

On the technical side, the upgrade to .NET 8 enhances platform performance and security, while caching OAuth access tokens streamlines integration calls, making the system faster and more efficient. These updates lay the foundation for a more responsive and scalable platform.

We’re excited about these enhancements and look forward to seeing how they improve your experience. As always, we appreciate your feedback and remain committed to continuously evolving the platform to meet your needs.
