AI Capabilities

AI Action

AI Action is a quick entry point on the record detail page for interacting with AI-powered scenarios.

When a user selects an AI Action, a multi-turn conversation session centered on the current record is initiated. The system automatically injects context such as record fields, discussions, and activity logs, and continuously generates responses based on the configured prompts, models, and tools.

AI Actions are commonly used for:

  • Summarizing record content
  • Analyzing context and identifying key insights
  • Recommending next steps
  • Generating communication content and reports
  • Enabling follow-up questions and discussions around the record

Each AI Action can be independently configured with its own purpose, prompts, model, tools, and scope, enabling tailored AI capabilities for different teams, industries, and business scenarios.

Usage Instructions

Application

Application Migration

For HAP Server, a more reliable import and migration method is now available. Imported applications retain their original ID, which remains globally unique. During upgrades, applications are matched and updated based on their ID.

  • Availability: HAP Server only
  • Permissions: Organization roles → Application management
Mode Use Case How It Works Summary
Standard Mode

(Recommended for daily use)

Create a copy of an application within the same environment for testing
  • Applications from the same source can be upgraded seamlessly
  • Imported applications are treated as new and assigned a new ID
  • Applications remain independent and do not affect each other
Creates a new application copy after import, with a new ID
Migration Mode

(Cross-environment migration or upgrades)

Migrate applications across environments (e.g., test → production) while preserving identity and avoiding duplication
  • Applications are uniquely identified by ID and can only be upgraded when IDs match
  • The original ID is retained after import; if the application exists, it is overwritten; otherwise, a new one is created
Migrates the application as-is with the same ID

Accessing Application Migration: Organization Admin Console > App Management > App > Import App

Row-to-Column Transposition for Table-Type Fields

This update introduces a transposed view for table-type fields, allowing fields to be displayed vertically as rows instead of the traditional horizontal layout with multiple columns per row.

Supported fields:

  • Subform fields (entity tables)
  • Relationship fields (table, tab table)
  • Query records fields (table, tab table)

Display modes:

  • General: fields are displayed as columns
  • Transpose: fields are displayed as rows, with records expanded as columns

Limitations:

  • Bulk editing and imports are not supported in transposed mode.
  • To perform imports or bulk actions, switch back to general mode.

Display limits:

OOP3O4ZGACQHG

Worksheet Filters Support Manual Query Trigger

This update introduces a new filter mode for worksheet filters. In addition to real-time filtering, a “click to query” mode is now available. Users can configure multiple filter conditions and manually trigger the query to apply them.

This capability reduces interruptions and performance overhead caused by frequent refreshes. It is especially beneficial for large datasets, improving the smoothness and control of the filtering experience.

Filter modes:

  • Instant (default): filters are applied immediately when conditions change
  • Apply on query: filters are applied only after clicking the Query button

Filter mode is saved per user and does not affect other users.

Masking Enhancements: Keyword-Based Masking

This update enhances masking for text fields by introducing keyword-based masking in custom masking rules. Administrators can define keywords that are always masked, enabling more granular protection of sensitive information.

This capability overrides existing beginning, end, and middle display rules, preventing unintended exposure caused by overlapping configurations and improving data security and control.

Priority rules:

  • Keyword-based masking takes precedence over beginning, end, and middle display rules
  • Keywords are masked even if they fall within visible beginning or end ranges

Multiple keywords:

  • Supports configuring multiple keywords
  • Keywords must be separated by commas (,)

Matching rules:

  • Exact match only: masking is applied only when the content exactly matches a keyword
  • Fuzzy or partial matching is not supported

EKPS4HRFADQHC

Improved Dropdown Interaction for Relationship Field

This update improves the selection experience for relationship field (single record) when displayed as a dropdown.

Configure user sync scope

After authorization, users from Microsoft Entra can be synced to the platform to create or update member records. Sync scope can also be controlled by specifying Group IDs (security groups).

5BXQOGRFAAQGU

Set Microsoft Entra as the Only Login Method

After completing Microsoft Entra integration, you can enable Set Microsoft Entra as the Only Login Method in SSO Settings.

After enabling:

  • Password login, verification code login, and other SSO methods are disabled.
  • Login security policies (such as password policies, sign-in verification, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)) are centrally managed by Microsoft Entra.

This is suitable for scenarios that require a unified identity provider and enhanced account security and compliance.

LVBAQGRFADQAU

Once enabled, the organization’s login page will display only the Microsoft Entra sign-in option. If users attempt to sign in using other methods on different login pages, the request will be blocked.

Organization Management

Application Access Policies

Application access policies can be configured in the Organization Admin Console. Access can be allowed or denied based on conditions such as IP address and client type. Each policy supports both allowlists and blocklists. Up to 10 policies can be created.

Availability:
  • HAP SaaS: Available in Professional edition only
  • HAP Server: Available in Professional edition only
  • HAP Server (Application Platform Core): Supported and can be allocated as a feature quota (Note: In the Application Platform Core, policy conditions do not support request headers or domain names)

Policy evaluation logic:

To ensure data security, when multiple policies are matched, the most restrictive rule applies, with deny rules taking precedence:

  • If multiple deny policies are matched, the application must be included in the allowlists of all matched policies for access to be granted
  • If both allow and deny policies are matched, the deny policy takes precedence, and any applications in the blocklist are removed from the allowlist
  • When multiple policies are matched, if any policy has advanced settings enabled (Disable public access / Disable cross-application data linking), those restrictions apply
