With the third Viewpoint Field View™ release of 2023, we bring you development work that will help make Field View smoother and more secure. We've also added several enhancements to Field View to bolster already existing features, and we're continuing to shift our customer support focus to iOS 14 and Android 7.1 or higher.
Installation Updates
In order to continue getting new versions of Field View, users must have iOS 14 or Android 7.1 or higher. Though updates have previously been available for mobile users on older versions of iOS and Android, this will no longer be allowed starting with Field View R6 in June 2023.
We strongly suggest that you explore your upgrade options as soon as possible to ensure a smooth and timely transition.
Allow Non-User Signatures
We added a new permission for non-users in Field View web to help keep each project more secure. The default for this permission is enabled, which matches the current way forms and workflow statuses are signed.
This option will be used for signing tasks, forms, and assets, in addition to in-form signature questions.
If this permission is enabled by the system administrator, non-Field View users will be visible in the list of eligible signers and can be selected to sign without the need of a Field View password.
If this permission is disabled, only Field View users will display in the list of eligible signers. The signer must have a Field View account in order to sign.
Autocomplete Search
Both old and new fields added to tasks now have the autocomplete search feature in Field View mobile. This will make it faster and easier to find what you’re looking for.
When you start to enter search criteria, Field View will anticipate what you’re searching for and display it in the search field. You can keep entering the criteria or search on what Field View displays.
Process Task Filter Options
You can now filter the process task list on the web by displaying tasks with images, comments, or documents. This will limit the tasks displayed and help you quickly find the ones you want to work with.
