Current patch: 2021.1.25

This patch includes an updated publisher certificate for Axiom signed by Syntellis, to replace the previous certificate signed by Kaufman Hall. Note the following:

  • If your organization has configured Microsoft Excel to require add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher, then you must install the new certificate on client machines in order to run the Axiom Excel Client. Axiom Support can provide this certificate to clients on request.

  • When installing this client update, some users may encounter the Windows SmartScreen prompt due to an unknown publisher. If this occurs, you can click More Info to verify that the publisher is Syntellis, then click Run Anyway to install.

Patch 2021.1.16

This patch contains an enhancement related to the Owners of All Previous Steps recipient type for process management that was added in patch 2021.1.12. When this new recipient type was first delivered, it would only work for steps that were activated after installing the patch. This is because the recipient type depends on new behavior that logs the current step owners in the process history when a plan file becomes active in the step. If a step was already completed or currently active for a plan file when the patch was installed, this event would not be generated for those steps—it would only be generated for future steps as the plan file moved forward in the process.

Patch 2021.1.16 contains upgrade behavior that will "backfill" previous step owners for any steps that were completed or active before the introduction of the new behavior to support the Owners of All Previous Steps recipient type:

  • For steps that are already completed, the user who completed the step will be logged in the process history. If other users were assigned owners when the step was active, these users will not be logged.
  • For steps that are active, the currently assigned step owners will be logged in the process history.

This means that the Owners of All Previous steps recipient type will now work to notify owners of all previous steps, with the limitation that only a single step owner will be notified for steps that were completed before the introduction of the new recipient type.

Additionally, the following issues were fixed in this patch:

  • 93014: OData requests remain open until they time out, instead of automatically closing when complete.

Patch 2021.1.15

The following issues were fixed in this patch:

  • 90199: When use of the Filter Wizard includes a count of rows returned by the filter, the process that detects the count is not optimized.
  • 90380: The Product Staging Table import type can fail with an index out of range error if the affected tables contain a Boolean column.

Patch 2021.1.13

The following issues were fixed in this patch:

  • 88222: In the Report Builder, the Live Updates setting is enabled by default when it should be disabled by default.
  • 88991: The add new option of the import transform Update Alternate Key Lookup Values doesn't work if the key column is string.

The following enhancements were included in this patch:

  • The import type of Internal Database has a new source type of Product Staging Table. This type is intended to be used with installed products, and therefore will be configured and delivered with products as needed.

Additionally, this patch contains updated translations.

Patch 2021.1.12

The following issues were fixed in this patch:

  • 87264: Imports fail with an "incorrect syntax" error if a self-referencing lookup column uses a SQL reserved word such as "Grant".
  • 87521: Users with viewer-only licenses cannot launch the Excel Client or Windows Client, because the new access permissions are ignored.

This patch also contains an enhancement to process management recipient notifications. A new recipient type named Owners of All Previous Steps is now available to send a notification to all of the assigned owners of previous steps. Additionally, the existing recipient type of Previous Step Owners has been renamed to Completer of Previous Step, to clarify that the notification will only be sent to the user who completed the immediately previous step. This is a display text change only; the behavior of this existing recipient type is the same.

Patch 2021.1.11

This patch contains an updated certificate for the Axiom Excel add-in.
