Lightning Experience DocGen Package Designer (LEDD)

With this release, you can now manage all of your DocGen Package templates within the Lightning Designer, which does not require the use of Adobe Flash.

• Connecting Salesforce Reports, Excel Templates (aka Excel as Middleware), and Runtime CSV or Excel files to your DocGen Package template is now supported.

• Template management is available for Scheduled DocGen Packages, however to manage timing and activation, and your desired delivery settings you will need to continue using the Classic UI. To make it a little easier for you, Scheduled DocGen Packages now have a button that will open the Classic UI in another tab/window without requiring you to switch to Salesforce Classic or disable the Lightning Designer.

• Invalid Relationships will now be shown in a new section in the Relationship Forest on the Data tab. These relationships will be shown in a grid without displaying Parent-Child or Lookup connections. Invalid relationships are are typically a Lookup off a Lookup, or a child relationship that is four (4) or more levels deep.

  • Note: Invalid relationships are those that are not explicitly supported by Nintex DocGen. These relationships may work for you now, and will continue to work even after upgrading, we are making no immediate changes to cause data from "working" invalid relationships to stop filling data. However, you will want to review these relationships as we may make changes in the future that could cause these invalid relationships to stop working.

  • Previously when you delete a relationship with children, all child relationships were also deleted. As we do not show the parent-child or lookup connections for Invalid relationships, deleting parent relationships will not delete its children. We made this update so you can can continue to review your invalid relationships before making appropriate changes to replace them with supported relationships.

• When removing a template from your DocGen Package, we've updated the messaging where appropriate to warn that your template may be referenced by another template, applies mainly to Excel template used as middleware and connected to a Word or Powerpoint template.

• Relationship filters will now show all the same fields you would find in the Classic UI, such as "Name" fields that were lookups to others Object records.

New features

Lightning Experience DocGen Package Designer (LEDD)

• New Installations for Nintex DocGen for Salesforce have the Lightning Designer enabled for them. DocGen Admins still have the option to disable the Designer on the DocGen Admin Tab > Home page.

Performance improvements and resolved issues

• In Salesforce Classic, DocGen Packages will once again load for orgs that have a large number of applications installed. The root cause was an attempt to check the version of Drawloop DocGen that is currently installed, and then provide a helpful notice to upgrade when a new version exists. Instead, if we can not determine the version installed the notice will no longer appear. DocGen Admins will want to check the Nintex Drawloop DocGen for Salesforce AppExchange listing every so often to see if a newer version is available.

• To address Salesforce permission updates, we've updated the included DocGen Admin and DocGen User permission sets and profiles to provide access to additional packaged Apex classes. If you currently use your own custom Permission Sets for managing access to objects and fields included in Nintex DocGen, you will want to make updates according to the lists found on our knowledge article for Required Apex Classes.

  • An Alias is required when two Relationships refer to the same object

  • Aliases can only contain underscores and alphanumeric characters. Aliases must be unique, begin with a letter, not start or end with an underscore, and not contain consecutive underscores.

  • Aliases can not match Object API Names, which mostly applies to Salesforce Standard Objects. Examples of Salesforce Standard Objects are, but not limited to, the following: Account, ActionPlan, Address, Case, Contact, Contract, Leads, Opportunity, User.

  • Aliases must be unique, you cannot use the same alias for multiple relationships within a DocGen Package.

• Editing a DocGen Package template from Optional to Advanced Optional in Classic will no longer result in that template always showing as optional when generating documents, they will now correctly be evaluated according to the Advanced Optional logic and displayed at the appropriate times.

• Creating DocGen Packages in LEDD with Availability that has Profiles and Roles configured, the Security Type is not correct set to "Match Profile OR Role", previously this was set to an "AND" which meant an End User had to have both the Profile AND Role to view the DocGen Package. Remediation steps in case a customer comes across this: Edit the docgen package in Classic and set to "Match Profile OR Role."
