What’s New in SBM 11.2

File / URL fields Fields that can contain files or URLs enable workflow to be written against such a field, enabling decision based (for example) on the existence of an attachment prior to transitioning. In addition, multiple fields (with multiple attachments) can be placed on a form to enable grouping of concepts e.g. requirements, QA test plans, contracts, etc. Fields can be controlled via permissions, form actions and other access technology to ensure visibility only to the correct users at the correct time. (Subject to change without notice.)

File / URL fields
