Dear customers,

Welcome to the 2020s!

2020 is the year of predictions! Baba Vanga, Mühlhiasl, and Nostradamus all prophecies a predestined future of the whole world. However, we at Comosoft see the future in a much rosier light, even if there are some challenges to overcome. But that is why we are all here for, because “simply anyone can do it”!

A lot has already happened at Comosoft in the first two months of 2020. Not only are we releasing new great functions with LAGO Release 5.7, simplifying your daily work and creating space for creativity and innovation, we were also able to agree on a highly interesting partner model with our partner Oracle, that the use of Oracle JAVA SE is very much simplified and allows you to use LAGO no matter which IT environment you use in connection with LAGO in terms of licensing. We would be pleased to provide you with more detailed information and are awaiting your call. Please contact your account representative for more details on what we can offer.

Of course, we also offer a variety of new functions with LAGO 5.7. Start your update to LAGO 5.7 today.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Greetings from Hamburg,

• Support of 3rd party products
  Starting with LAGO 5.7.1, JAVA 11, and Adobe Creative Cloud 2020 are supported.
• LAGO API
  The LAGO API has been extended by many functions. It is now possible to import assets and retrieve and change asset property details. Project variants can also be created, updated, and deleted. Furthermore, asset components can be created and deleted.
• LAGO Whiteboard
  Our new LAGO web-based application, LAGO Whiteboard, is now completed. LAGO Whiteboard has many new features and improvements in addition to the functions previously available in LAGO Layout. For example, a completely new planning mode based on variant groups is now available. Furthermore, working with manual adjustment of page layouts and grid fields across several variants has been optimized. LAGO now takes over the mental work for you and automatically creates new variants or automatically reunites identical variants.
• LAGO DAM
  The web-based application “LAGO MAM” (Media Asset Management) was renamed to “LAGO DAM” (Digital Asset Management). In the course of renaming the application, entries in the central configuration were also adjusted. The entries from the “MAMSearch” and “MAMUsageSearchFields” sections are now found under “DAMSearch” and “DAMUsageSearchFields”. Existing entries are automatically renamed during the update.
• LAGO PIM
  The web-based application LAGO PIM has been enhanced with new features. It is now possible to manage projects, variants, and variant groups.
• Workspace configuration for LAGO Whiteboard, LAGO Proof and LAGO PIM
  It is now possible to define a workspace configuration for LAGO Whiteboard, LAGO Proof, and LAGO PIM. Within a workspace configuration, it possible to customize the toolbar for the applications by controlling button/icon visibility, in addition to customizing the visibility of bridge groups and fields within each bridge group. The workspace configuration can then be assigned to one or more workgroups.
• LAGO Scripting
  LAGO Scripting now also supports the functions “min()” and “max()” for article properties, as well as the tokens “$(KATVALIDFROM)” and “$(KATVALIDTO)” in LAGO Layout.
• Limiting the Visibility of Asset Types
  It is now possible to assign workgroups to asset types. This assignment is done in LAGO Admin. For the assignment, you can define whether users of a workgroup can view and/or edit the asset types. Assets of types that are not visible are thus hidden from searches. Please note that filtering is currently only implemented in LAGO DAM. The implementation of filtering for LAGO Explorer, LAGO Pict and LAGO Layout is planned for LAGO 5.8.
• Set overdue jobs automatically to completed
  It is now possible to define for a job template within a workflow status that the job is automatically set to “completed” if the job is overdue.
• Export of search folder results
  It is now possible to export articles or items based on previously created search folders. An existing search folder structure is taken into account. This is possible via XML as well as via the standard export.
• Security
  For security reasons, access to the servlet information pages is only possible with user authentication.
