What's New in OnBase 24.1: Enhancing User Experience, Efficiency, and Integration

The latest release of OnBase, Foundation 24.1, brings several exciting improvements designed to enhance usability, increase accessibility, and streamline processes for both users and administrators. Whether you're a regular user navigating daily tasks or an admin managing complex configurations, this update delivers features that boost efficiency and simplify workflows across the board.

Key Highlights of OnBase Foundation 24.1

1. Improved User Experience in OnBase Apps and Low-Code Solutions

One of the most significant updates in this release is the enhanced user experience, particularly for low-code WorkView case management solutions through the OnBase App Builder. The App Builder offers a seamless, customizable interface that allows non-developers to create and modify case management solutions with ease. This low-code functionality empowers teams to build and iterate on solutions faster, reducing reliance on IT departments and enabling rapid problem-solving for business needs.

The overall user interface of OnBase Apps has been refined to ensure a smoother, more intuitive experience, improving productivity and satisfaction for users of all technical levels.

2. Enhanced Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA Support

Accessibility continues to be a priority in the OnBase platform, and Foundation 24.1 makes significant strides with over 300 improvements to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. These updates ensure that all users, including those with disabilities, have improved access to OnBase solutions, aligning with global standards for web content accessibility.

This commitment to accessibility not only ensures legal compliance but also broadens the usability of OnBase for a more diverse set of users, making it an ideal platform for organizations that prioritize inclusivity.

3. Streamlined Configuration Change Management

Managing configurations in OnBase has become even easier for administrators with the addition of configuration change tracking within the OnBase Administration Portal. This new feature allows admins to monitor changes made to system configurations, ensuring greater transparency and control over system management.

Whether it's tracking who made changes to a workflow or monitoring updates to security settings, this feature provides a more robust way to manage OnBase environments, improve security, and quickly troubleshoot issues when they arise.

4. Enhanced Integration with Adobe Sign and eSignature Workflows

The rise of digital transformation and remote work has increased the need for robust, integrated eSignature solutions. OnBase 24.1 delivers on this need by enhancing its Adobe Sign integration, allowing users to seamlessly leverage Workflows and Templates to automate document signing processes. This integration reduces manual steps, eliminates bottlenecks, and ensures that documents are signed and processed faster, improving overall operational efficiency.

For businesses that rely heavily on eSignature processes, this integration creates a more unified workflow, allowing users to manage eSignature documents directly within OnBase and stay within the platform they are already comfortable using.

Workflow Messaging: A No-Code Integration Tool for Enhanced Efficiency

One of the standout features of OnBase Foundation 24.1 is the new Workflow Messaging tool. This no-code solution allows organizations to enhance their integration capabilities by adding XML message handling directly within OnBase Workflow.

Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

• No Custom Programming Required: Workflow Messaging enables integration scenarios to be configured without relying on BizTalk or other custom programming, reducing the technical barriers that can delay implementation.

• Increased Flexibility: This tool opens up new integration possibilities, allowing organizations to handle complex messaging scenarios directly within the OnBase environment.

• Improved Integration Support: With a rich integration environment, OnBase integrators can now build more efficient and powerful workflows that connect with other systems more easily, streamlining operations and reducing the need for external tools or manual processes.

This no-code approach to integration will save time and resources while enhancing the flexibility and capability of OnBase Workflow, particularly for businesses that need to integrate with various external systems.
