New JobTraQ BPM Software Features
Contact Lookup Fields can be restricted by contact class and type: Administrators can configure contact lookup fields to only allow users to select contacts that match specific contact classes and/or contact types.
External pages can be embedded in JobTraQ forms: External pages can be placed anywhere in a JobTraQ task or contact form, and can also be added to entire tabs in the task type form designer. Data can be passed from JobTraQ fields in the external page URL in the same way that dynamic links pass data.
Automatic Windows Authentication: If JobTraQ users are on the same Active Directory domain as the JobTraQ server, they can choose to login automatically using their Windows credentials, instead of typing their username and password. Note: This feature requires some server-side configuration changes.
Internet Explorer 9 Support: Microsoft released Internet Explorer 9 on March 14th. JobTraQ X5.12.2 is fully compatible with the new version.
