New Enhancements & Fixes

It is Spring again here in the north hemisphere and there is a new version of AgileXRM. This is a list of the more important enhancements and fixes included in it:

Dataverse Integration

Enhancements

• New AgileXRM App in the Solution
  There is now a new App in the AgileXRM Solution which allows to Manage and Administer AgileXRM
• Support for the latest FetchXML Schema
  The Query Editor now support many more operators and Advanced Mode now supports the full power of FetchXML
• Support downloading the XPDL and Readable XML files for a Process Template
• Correctly Handle Dataverse API Limits Errors
  AgileXRM now adapts to the API Limit Errors received and adjusts Retry times, accordingly.
• Change of behavior when deleting a Parent Process 
  Now you can only delete a Process Instance if all its descendant processes are either Cancelled or Completed, otherwise it notifies the user with an error. More importantly, now when a Parent Process is deleted, all its descendant process instances are also deleted. This is to avoid orphaned process instances in the system.
• Change all code that used Microsoft-deprecated Xrm.Page 
• License types ‘Process Participant’ and ‘Employee Self Service’ are DEPRECATED
  These license types are no longer useable
• Improve visual effect of embedding AgileXRM content in Dataverse Forms

• If user was not an AgileXRM Administrator, the Dataverse Cancel Activity action was failing
• Enabling/Updating tables/entities was not adding Process Viewer tab to some Main-type forms
• Disabling a Dataverse Activity that had all its Forms imported from a Managed-Solution, was failing
• Disabling a Dataverse Activity that had corresponding Running AgileXRM Activities for it, was throwing an exception rather that Cancelling those activities first then disabling the Dataverse Activity

• Major improvements in Responsive layout especially in Mobiles 
• Support for Multi-OptionSet and Two-Option fields in Radio-button and Checkbox controls

• Support Label Horizontal Mode at Page Level 
  This puts labels next to controls rather than just above them. Also allows setting ControlWidth of Radio-button, Checkbox and YesNo controls in Horizontal Mode
