You can add access restriction to some of the WorkZone features: that is, to make these features available only to people with a specific access code. See Feature settings > Access restriction.

New Email attachments section is added for the Outlook configuration (365 page > Outlook configuration). Here you can enable the Save emails without attachments setting to allow users saving emails to WorkZone without any attachments. See Outlook configuration.

Show CPR relations when using CPR Lookup

New CPR Lookup settings page is added under Services.

Disable grant update (license) feature setting (WorkZone, Corporate Edition)

To ensure compliance, the default functionality of WorkZone, Corporate Edition, does not allow users in one legal authority to change the access codes on cases and documents that have been created by users in another legal authority. However, some organizations require that it must be possible to change the access codes across legal authorities. With the new Disable grant update (license) feature setting in WorkZone Configurator, you can disable the default behavior. If the feature setting is enabled, users with read and write access can change the access codes on cases and documents that have been created by users in another legal authority.

See read and write access in Edit information on a case and Edit information on a document.

Obsolete OAuth settings on the Clients tab

The OAuth settings on the Global > Clients tab in WorkZone Configurator can only be used by KMD.

PDF crawler performance parameters

The Crawler configuration page now includes parameters that you can use to optimize the performance of the Crawler service. The parameters are:

• Maximum batch size

See Crawler specific parameters.

Use document creation date as Letter date for added case documents

Enable the Use letter date as document created date setting in WorkZone Configurator > Explorer > Explorer configuration to have the document creation date automatically inserted as the Letter date for your case documents added to a case via drag and drop from Outlook or from the file system.
