LAGO 5.21 is available now!

Dear customers,

We are happy to announce the release of LAGO 5.21 to kickoff 2023.

With LAGO 5.21 you now have the ability to update the Article Types of an Article via import. With a simple configuration of the standard import, you can change an Article’s type across the entire database. This will also adopt the Article Properties for the new type, giving you maximum flexibility in your product data model.

There are also new Document Check Runs available in LAGO Layout and LAGO Layout Server. Your production team can now quickly and easily identify invalid assets based on criteria like whether an asset is locked, logically deleted, not marked as "visible to all", or if its validity period does not include the current date.

Please read the Release Notes for full details about all the new and useful improvements in LAGO 5.21.

As always, we’re happy to help and advise you on how to use new LAGO features. Feel free to reach out to Comosoft‘s support team any time for assistance.

• Changing article types of an article via import
  It is now possible to update the article type of articles via standard import. For this purpose, the corresponding settings for the standard import configurations have been introduced in LAGO Admin. This leads to a global update of the article type including adaptation of existing article characteristics.
• Extended functions for components in the LAGO API
  The LAGO API now has endpoints for handling component-article mappings. These can be created, updated or deleted. In addition, the existing endpoint for creating new components has been enhanced to support local components.
• Administrative tasks for assets in LAGO DAM and LAGO Admin
  Administrative tasks previously only available in LAGO Pict, such as the final deletion of one or all assets, as well as the re-creation of FPO and preview files, are now also available in LAGO DAM. Logically deleted assets can also be restored.
  The assignment of asset types to categories, which is used in the creation of asset components in the element layout, is now also located in LAGO Admin.
• New features in LAGO Whiteboard and LAGO PIM
  The already existing page swap feature in LAGO Whiteboard now allows for use in environments with compressed documents and different page layouts, as well as page layout customization in different variants.
  When copying elements from other projects, the dialog already available from LAGO PIM, can now optionally be displayed with detailed setting options to decide which details of an element should be copied.
  Furthermore, split elements are now additionally indicated by a symbol at the bottom of the grid field.
  Furthermore, LAGO PIM now also offers the option to delete existing article-element assignments, which compliments the management of articles and elements.
• New check runs for invalid assets in LAGO Layout and LAGO Layout Server
  A new set of validation check runs are available in LAGO Layout and LAGO Layout Server. These validation runs detect assets that should not be placed or used for various reasons. This includes a logical deletion, date expiration, or if an asset has not been marked "visible to all". If such a check run in LAGO Layout Server fails, the job is not processed and a corresponding message is written to the queue for the corresponding job.
• Improved use of hyperlinks in LAGO InDesign
  It is now possible to apply hyperlinks in LAGO Layout to component types such as layout, logo and image components. The hyperlinks are preserved during document editing. Also, these hyperlinks are supported by the PDF export process through the Layout Server.

LAGO ENTERPRISE 5.20.1

LAGO ENTERPRISE 5.19.1

LAGO 5.20 is available now!

Dear customers,

The holiday season is upon us and as 2022 comes to an end, we are releasing LAGO version 5.20, our last release for this year. In this version, we have focused on two areas in particular: further improvements in LAGO Whiteboard and the implementation of a new password policy.

Cloud systems are gaining importance worldwide and the benefits of outsourcing data centers are clear. Reduction of IT costs, vertical and horizontal "on demand" scalability, higher IT availability, etc. are all great reasons to rely on cloud solutions like AWS or Microsoft Azure.

However, this also requires a very high level of security awareness on the part of software producers and system provider. In order to meet these security concerns, Comosoft utilizes SSO and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for an added layer of protection. With LAGO 5.20, we have added a new password policy, with the following criteria:

- Minimum 8 characters long
- Maximum 19 characters long
- At least one number
- At least one capital letter
- At least 1 special character
- The password must not be the same as the username and must not contain it

This new password policy is set as default and can only be disabled in the central configuration upon explicit request. For particularly critical areas such as access to the database, an even stricter policy applies that cannot be disabled.

For more information on other interesting improvements in this LAGO 5.20, check out the release notes. If you have any questions about new features in this version, don’t hesitate to contact us, or you can wait for the upcoming webinar planned for mid-January.

We wish you happy holidays and a happy new year!

Peter Jozefiak
Managing Director

• New password policy in LAGO
  As of LAGO 5.20, a strengthened password policy is active by default. The policy requires the following for all passwords:
  - Minimum 8 characters long
  - Maximum 19 characters long
  - At least one number
  - At least one uppercase letter
  - At least 1 special character
  - The password must not be the same as the username and must not contain the username
  If a user has set a password that does not comply with the policy, they will be prompted to set a new password that complies with the policy the next time they log in.
  The password policy can be explicitly disabled in the central configuration if desired.
• Automatic matching of adjacent raster fields in LAGO Whiteboard
  When scaling raster fields in LAGO Whiteboard, it is now possible to scale directly adjacent raster fields as well. For this purpose, two new editing modes have been created, which can be activated via a button. In the first mode, only directly adjacent raster fields are scaled when scaling. In the second mode, all raster fields located on the scaling axis are scaled.
• Highlighting and relinking of resolved placeholders
  In LAGO Layout, placeholders can henceforth not only be completely resolved and converted into normal text, but also be converted into normal text, which can then also be re-linked to the original placeholder. If a placeholder is resolved in this way, these special texts can be highlighted in the document, as well as in correction documents, certificates and PDF exports.
• Standard import with multiple key values in one row
  It is now possible to use multiple key values in one line in the standard import. In this way, import files can be processed which, for example, do not contain an extra line with repeating values for each variant of an article, but instead contain the variants in a list in one column of the file. The method also allows assigning an article to several projects in one line, provided that the project names or import keys are contained in a list in one column. In this way, import files can be greatly reduced in size, especially when working with many variants.
