LAGO 5.12 is available now!

Dear customers,

In the meantime 3 months have passed and Comosoft is pleased to release LAGO version 5.12 with many improvements and new functionalities/features.

With LAGO 5.12, the Flash-based applications have been completely removed and can no longer be activated via the central configuration. We have also implemented many new features in our LAGO Whiteboard module, which enables product and category managers to plan even more effectively and efficiently while having access to review the layout anytime.
These are just a few examples of a number of new enhancements, and we continue to focus on adding additional features in our PIM, DAM, Admin and Proof modules.

Please review our release notes to see what LAGO 5.12 has to offer and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

This is new in North America, but a really good idea…

We are starting a new global release webinar series that will include a preview of all new features. These webinars will be scheduled following the distribution of each newsletter going forward. Please be on the lookout for invitations to join our new release webinars in the coming days.

Best regards from Hamburg and stay healthy

Peter Jozefiak
Managing Director

• General
  As of LAGO 5.12, all Flash-based applications are no longer available
  and have been completely removed. It is also no longer possible to
  activate them via workspaces or via central configuration.
• LAGO Whiteboard
  The "Apply Page Layout" function has been intelligently optimized
  and is now even more accurate in determining whether an element
  layout should be applied or not. In the past, only a check for the
  presence of components was performed. This has been extended to
  include additional checks that determine whether an element has
  been moved to a new raster field of a different size or page layout,
  and whether the raster field has been resized by a user.
  Additionally, it is now possible to automatically apply the page
  layout when closing a page (if necessary) due to user changes.
  The function for automatically selecting suitable element layouts
  based on raster field sizes has been extended to also allow for the
  use of element layout categories. This allows for a working method
  where multiple element layouts of different types are available for a
  given raster field size. When resizing the raster field, the system
  now compares which category the current element layout has and
  then assigns a matching element layout of the same category and
  size.
  Element layouts settings have been enhanced by allowing existing
  and placed assets to be used when reapplying an element layout via
  template setting. This setting prevents having user selections and
  additional assets from being placed when decisions have already
  been made regarding which asset to use from the previous selection
  process.
• PIM
  LAGO PIM has been enhanced with a variety of features:
  • Changes to the sorting of article asset assignments
  • Zoom function for the preview list of documents
  • Display of assigned elements of a document
  • Easier maintenance of proxy equivalence variants
  • Update logos of a project
• Proof
  It is now possible to change the names of correction mark
  types and to define default values for the "Title" and
  "Description" fields for each type.
• DAM
  In DAM, it is now possible to add all assets of the light table to
  the shopping cart without selecting the assets beforehand.
• Admin
  A function has been added to LAGO Scripting to check for the
  presence of a value in a menu.
  Additional functions are now available in LAGO Admin:
  • Configuration of transfer tasks
  • Configuration of translation imports
  • Configuration of structure definition imports
  • Configuration of offline document imports
  • Configuration of asset purchase order imports
  •Sorting the property type assignments for article
  properties
  •Configuration of uniqueness for articles

LAGO ENTERPRISE 5.9.1

LAGO ENTERPRISE 5.8.1

by Tim Witte

LAGO 5.9 is available now!

Dear customers,

Who would have ever thought the entire world could have so many dramatic changes in the way our businesses have had to adjust in five short months. Changes in the way we communicate with internal and external partners continue to move at warp speed and with higher and higher expectations on results.

While tools for video conferencing have been a common practice for years, it never replaced the importance of seeing people face-to-face in person. This unprecedented pandemic has forced us to adapt ways to collaborate keep our businesses moving forward.

Of course, the topic of our working from any location in the world has presented new challenges for remote workforces to connect to organizations networks, and systems like LAGO must be rock solid protected against any security breach.

At Comosoft, we have addressed critical security improvements in our latest LAGO 5.9 release to ensure your teams can work safely and confidently in any environment. For this reason, LAGO 5.9, which was released today, contains several new security improvements for your IT departments to ensure protection. In addition, our new LAGO API can be deactivated by configuration and SQL statements can also be blocked via the LAGO RemoteDB.

Read more in the LAGO 5.9 Release Notes, and if you have any further questions, we will of course be happy to help you.

Let LAGO 5.9 surprise you and stay healthy.

Greetings from the Comosoft Team

Peter Jozefiak
Managing Director

• Expansion of the "Element Information" Palette in LAGO Layout
  The LAGO Layout palette "Element information" has been enhanced to support all element user fields and element properties via configuration. Up until now, this palette was hardcoded to only display the element fields "Info" and "Description".
• Security Improvements
  LAGO 5.9, offers a variety of new security improvements:
  • The LAGO API can be configured to block unauthorized access to LAGO data.
  • LAGO RemoteDB now allows you to block SQL statements that were not issued by LAGO Layout. Please note that activating this option is likely to have a negative impact on performance, since each statement must be hashed accordingly.
  • A rate limiting option is available to limit the maximum number of parallel logins for a user.
  Please note that some of these improvements require configuration changes in Central Configuration and within configuration files on the LAGO Application Server. Please contact your Comosoft account representative for more details.
• Document Compression Enhancement
  Document compression has been enhanced with the option of defining which fields lead to the creation of head variants in the cases of data differences. Until now, it was only possible to define whether compression data differences resulted in the creation of head variants or content variants at a global document compression level. LAGO Admin, now provides an additional checkbox at the data field definition level, so in cases where specific price fields are never just black text, you have a more granular way to control what should generate head variants versus what should generate a content variant.
• Performance improvement for copying document templates
  The process copying of document templates in LAGO Layout no longer takes place locally on the user's workstation. The copy process has been moved to LAGO WebServices. This results in better performance in scenarios where higher latencies is a variable (for example, when working over a VPN connection).
• Enhancements in LAGO PIM
  The range of functions in LAGO PIM have been expanded. It is now possible to create shop structures, including the definition of shop rules and the ability to link shops to shops for data synchronization purposes. Furthermore, documents can be paginated and the article list (including properties) can be exported.
