Release Highlights

Workflow

With SOTI Snap 4.0, we’ve added a drag-and-drop workflow process builder that gives anyone the power to easily automate and map approval-based business processes across departments in a Snap. No coding skills are required! Workflow apps with complete audit trails help any company to streamline approval processes, identify inefficiencies, increase transparency, and improve compliance.

Schedule Reports

SOTI Snap now brings you a more efficient way to track reports on periodic basis. App developers can schedule a report for specific console users at the desired frequency, such as daily, weekly, or monthly. Developers can even customize the report email template with your own wording and appearance. The specified users receive an email on periodic basis with CSV report as attached.

Granular App Permissions

SOTI Snap opens newer possibilities for building video-related apps such as training apps or lightweight digital signage. The Video Player widget allows building a playlist of multiple videos which can be streamed online or played offline in the SOTI Snap app.

Advanced Table Widget

Customers can quickly create a front-end application to view and manipulate records in a private data repository. The Table widget now allows app developers to build SOTI Snap apps that can determine which end users can create, update, or delete a record and read from a connected private database.

General Improvements

The following improvements have been made with this release:

  • A toggle switch to enable asset downloads such as images or signatures along with CSV records has been provided for every tenant. The asset links are embedded in the CSV itself that can be opened on local machine.
  • The Video Player Widget is now available on all devices. YouTube and Vimeo video links can be configured to a playlist in the video player widget. Note that is Vimeo not supported on iOS devices. Video files with .MP4 and .MOV formats (max 50MB limit) can be uploaded to the SOTI Snap server for streaming on the device.
  • Textbox now supports regular expressions (regex) to check that the entry matches the expected input. For example, you could enforce the format of (xxx)123-4567 for telephone numbers, or restrict the entry to numbers between 1 and 5, making an entry of 6 invalid.
  • SOTI Snap data access controller now supports stored procedures
