We are happy to inform you that SOTI Snap 4.1 is all set for release this month. 

Here is a quick list of key features that will be available in the new version:

• Custom PDF Templates: Our new custom PDF template function can map data captured in a Snap app to fill out a PDF document.  This is especially useful when your organization has existing PDF forms as it eliminates the errors and inefficiencies of forms filled in with a pen or pencil. After submitting the form data, the perfectly formatted PDF can be emailed out to specified addresses or archived to an online repository like SharePoint, Google Drive, or even an FTP. 
• Carousel Widget: The Carousel widget lets you display pages of images or information that can be hosted in a rotating set of panes. Users can swipe left or right to the next pane, or have it automatically jump to the next pane after a set time interval. The carousel can be very helpful for displaying a defined template with different information like displaying a select inventory of parts to choose from, or introducing a set of event speakers. 
• Set Focus Action and On Enter Event: We’ve introduced the Set Focus action and On Enter event to help improve app ease of use. With the On Enter event, clicking enter on the keyboard will move the user to the next field, making filling in longer forms that much easier. The Set Focus action can be coupled with events like On Enter to move focus to another field or even a different page, helping the user visually move from one step to the next. 
• Workflow Approval Management: Changes to the Workflow Approval feature now mean administrators can assign any pending approvals to new approvers. If an approver is no longer available for any reason, this handy feature allows administrator to transfer all those pending approvals under the old approver to a new approver without requiring a new workflow. 
• Search Workflow Records on Agent: Users with the device agent can now search for any workflow items from their device using either the workflow ID or submitter name. Please note that the agent must be updated before this feature is available. 
• Show/Hide Workflow Widget Label: You can now manage the available space in the workflow listing screen with the ability to show or hide a label’s value in the Inbox and My Request pages.
