Review the release video to see a quick overview of VFP 2018-03-01 enhancements, and read more about them in the sections below it.

Key enhancements include:

Site-level naming conventions

Greater flexibility for site or regional administrators to configure and deploy naming conventions at a site level. Previously, naming conventions could only be administered at enterprise level.

Faster view and mark-up

Document pages render in the view as each downloads. No more having to wait for large documents to fully download before they become viewable.

Eliminate pop-up refresh

Attach a document to multiple virtual containers without the popup window refreshing.

Fixes and stability improvements

This release also contains several customer-requested Bug Fixes and enhancements to make the application more usable.

New Dedicated Viewpoint ID Server

With this release, VFP customers will now log in to a dedicated Viewpoint ID server. As our new login service uses a slightly different URL anyone with the login page URL specifically whitelisted in any firewall or proxy settings may need to update their settings to include the new login URL also.
