LAGO 5.19 is available now!

Dear customers,

Our third feature release of 2022, LAGO 5.19, is available as of today. Since our last release, we’ve added some very useful new features to LAGO: a new option is now available at the document workflow level that enables automatic creation of Archive PDFs for any given checkpoint. Additionally, we’ve made enhancements to our Automat PDF exports than now enable you to hide placeholders from any level (article/element/document/project) and replace with a blank or predefined value.

This and much more is available with the latest version LAGO 5.19–have a look at our release notes for details.

Should you have any questions about our release LAGO 5.19, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best regards
Peter Jozefiak
Managing Director

• Create Archive-PDF using the Workflow
  It is now possible to create automat jobs for the creation of archive PDF by the LAGO Workflow. A new workflow status action is now available that needs to be added to the corresponding workflow status. If all documents of a project reach a status that has the new workflow action configured, the automat jobs for archive PDF will be created. Please note that this feature requires the module “LAGO Archive”
• Description for Shops
  A new field “Description” has been added to shop folders. This field can contain an unlimited amount of text. The content of the field can be added or changed within LAGO PIM, LAGO Explorer and by using the LAGO Standard Import. The XML Export will export the content of the field together with shops.
• Article data within table headers
  Up until now it was only possible to use placeholders of the entities Project, Project Variant and Project Variant Type into the header cells of an object table. Now it is possible to also use placeholders from the entities Article, Article Property, Price, and Price Property. Placeholders will be added as context placeholders and pull the value of the flash article of the corresponding element.
• Replace placeholders within an exported PDF
  From now on you can configure which placeholders should be replaced within exported PDF files. On field level within LAGO Admin, a new flag “Hide field on export” has been added that allows to configure if a field should be hidden. Moreover, automat job settings for a PDF-Export also contain a setting to enable hiding of placeholders. Upon export, placeholders configured will be replaced with the empty placeholder value, configured in the central configuration.

Dear customers,

By definition, communication is the exchange of information using a variety of methods and channels, with its catalyst being will and ability. Communication has and always will be, at the center of all commerce. And when it comes to connecting with your customers via marketing channels, LAGO is the tool of choice for you and our growing community of users.

If we assume that your business wants to communicate both internally and to its customers, we have to make sure that it can. Inter-departmental teams and their marketing materials are more diverse than ever–gaps in communication can translate into missed marketing and sales opportunities.

For decades, LAGO has been a bridge between all departments and users, handling communication with ease. From the earliest planning stages, through proofing and output, LAGO automates tasks that make up an efficient marketing workflow.

With LAGO 5.18, we have enhanced existing communication functionalities in LAGO Proof, now offering the ability to add comments to user-created proofs markups. This feature adds another layer to our already robust proofing toolkit.

Additionally, LAGO Layout now enables you to curate digital content in the familiar Adobe InDesign environment. Hyperlinks can be added to any LAGO document and are also preserved during PDF export via the Automat (Adobe InDesign Server). Copying, reuse, as well as use in multi-variant productions are all fully supported.

Read about this and much more in the LAGO 5.18 release notes.

• Comments for Correction Marks
  It was not possible to add comments to correction marks in LAGO Proof. A correction mark can now have multiple comments from different users. Comments from the creator of the correction mark are highlighted. Created comments are shown with the name of the creator and the date of creation or edit in a new group below the list of correction marks. Comments are also shown in certified documents, though they can not be created or edited.
  The creation and editing of correction marks is also possible within LAGO Layout. Comments are shown in a new section in the already existing correction mark palette.
• Hyperlinks in InDesign Documents
  LAGO Documents are now supporting the usage of InDesign Hyperlinks. Hyperlinks can be added to LAGO components or component templates. Hyperlinks will also remain in exported PDF documents allowing the creation of interactive PDF documents.
• Variant Group Filtering by Project Validity
  The variant tree within LAGO Whiteboard can now filter variant groups by the variant type to variant group validity dates in conjunction with the validity of a project.
• Preview of Automatic Shop and Catchword Assignment Rules
  When creating or editing shop or catchword assignment rules in LAGO Explorer, a new preview function allows the user to identify how many assignments will be created by the new or edited rules prior to applying the change. In addition the user may also choose to apply the rules at a later stage through LAGO MessageBus.
• Support of new QuickTime Formats
  The asset import is now able to support newer version and codecs of the QuickTime format.

• Synchronize local text components by language
  Keeping the content of local text components for the same language in sync has always been a challenge in case you are maintaining text components for multiple variants. An example would be having a local component for the United States and Canada or for Peru and Chile. If both components should have the same content, it was necessary to change both components.
  With LAGO 5.17 a new way of synchronizing the content of local text components is now available in case they’re both based on the same language. This requires a setup of language in LAGO Admin, an assignment of the languages to the variant types and the activation of the feature in the central configuration. Once a user saves a local component it will then be possible to synchronize the content to all components that are based on the same language.
• Better control over asset priority in LAGO Layout
  New features have been implemented into LAGO Layout to allow better control over the priority of assets. These features require that element asset assignments including an assignment order are created (either in LAGO Explorer or by an upstream system using the LAGO API).
  Element layouts have been enhanced with two additional options, the first one being the possibility to only use element asset assignments when creating asset components. These are then being placed according to their assignment order. If you are using the functionality to stack components on top of each other, you can now control whether the asset with the highest priority should be placed first (lowest) or last (highest).
  In case the assignment order is adjusted, a new document check is available to identify differences between the order of the assigned assets and the order of the placed components within the document (based on their z-order). To verify these differences, it is now also possible to filter inside the “asset assignment” palette to only show element asset assignments.
• Manage article element assignment in LAGO PIM
  LAGO PIM now offers the possibility of managing article element assignments. The creation of assignments is done in two steps. The first step is the selection of articles and a new function to copy them into a clipboard for assignment creation. Afterwards one or multiple elements can be selected to paste the assignments. This new function allows you to assign multiple articles to multiple elements in one step for the first time.
• New functions in LAGO Scripting
  New functions for fields of the data type “date” have been added to LAGO Scripting. It is now possible to extract the year, month, or day of a date field to be used for further purposes. An example is to use the fields “Valid From” and “Valid To” on project level and only show the day and week of them within a placeholder.
