titleSOAP deprecation information
We declared SOAP as deprecated and therefore SOAP will not be included in versions after 21.76 (already postponed by one year, initially the 20.76 was announced). Latest release including SOAP API for eSAW will be 21.76, released in spring 2022 and with the software maintenance on 21.76 until spring 2024.
Therefore, we recommend REST technology for integration. Please see also the migration guide.


Expand
titleRole Based Access Control
In addition to the predefined roles and permissions you can now define your own roles. So, for example you can define a new role, where the user can manage and send envelopes, but not create the envelopes on their own. Or a role which can configure automatic remote signatures themselves, without being user managers. Moreover, you can also set the permissions for your roles.
For more information please have a look at this page.


Expand
titleLock form fields

You can now find the setting in your organization to lock form fields. If you prevent editing form fields after the envelope is finished the form fields in the PDF are all read only. Therefore, after locking the form fields (after the final workstep), the form fields are not editable any more with other PDF tools.
For more information please have a look at this page.

You can also lock form fields with the API. Therefore, just add the following before the node “steps” in REST:

Code Block
languagejava
themeEclipse
"LockFormFieldsAtEnvelopeFinish": true,

Or in SOAP:

Code Block
languagexml
themeEclipse
<lockFormFieldsAtEnvelopeFinish>true</lockFormFieldsAtEnvelopeFinish>


Expand
titleForcing authentication

In your organization settings you can now select required authentication methods. You can either select any or a specific authentication.

Moreover you can set the following

  • Force input of the phone number when using SMS-OTP authentication
  • Allow skipping forced authentication upon using biometric signatures
  • Allow skipping forced authentication upon using disposable certificate, remote certificate or local certificate

For more information please have a look at this page.


Expand
titleDisable clipboard

You can find this feature in your organization settings in the section “Testing Phase Features”.
There you can allow to copy the viewer link from the envelope details page. If the user signs the envelope via the copy viewer link, then this information is also shown in the audit trail.

For more information about the clipboard please have a look at this page.


Expand
titleBankID
You can now configure a bankID signature field and a bankID authentication via api.
For more information about bankID and the configuration please have a look at this page.

titleImprove advanced Batch signing with additional option

You can now choose between the following five configurations for a Batch signature:

  • Simple Batch
  • Signature List (unselected)
  • Signature List (preselected)
  • Signature List (selected, required mandatory)
  • Signature List (unselected, required mandatory)

We added the last two modes for mandatory fields (selected and unselected). This makes it possible to distinguish between mandatory and voluntary fields.

Therefore, the selected means that the user can select/deselect only signatures which are not required. All signatures are initially selected. The unselected means that the user can select/deselect only signatures which are not required. All non required signatures are initially deselected.
