Release Notes – empower® Mails 9.10

The empower^® Directory Sync has been improved and now supports the import of extension attributes from Microsoft Entra ID to be used in user profiles.

The robustness of empower^® against inconsistent behavior of some other add-ins has been improved.

Rich Text Content Controls and Picture Content Controls can now be inserted directly via the Template Assistant, e.g. it is not necessary to use the tab Developer anymore.

Fixed several issues (e.g. profile management could not be opened) caused by a broken connection to the empower^® Backend.

Fixed an issue which caused unintended behavior of the default language selection for locations if the property had been set to read-only in the EAV data scheme.

This issue could occur in the profile, company and signature management.

Fixed an issue where, in some cases, the empower^® Library could appear empty or remain stuck showing an infinite progress spinner.

Fixed a memory exhaustion issue that could occur in the empower^® Sync when synchronizing large volumes of data.

Fixed an issue that caused custom fields with list values that had been configured correctly in the EAV data scheme to appear empty when editing a profile via the profile management, even though the values were stored correctly.

Fixed an issue that caused values linked to default translations in the EAV data scheme to stay empty when a translation was selected while filling in a document template or during the creation of a signature.

Fixed an issue which caused translation values to be applied incorrectly if the default language was selected during the creation of a signature.

Fixed an issue which caused the side pane to become unresponsive if clients were running in a Citrix environment.

Fixed an issue where companies were displayed in the company management window even if the current user only had read-only access to them.

The user could not edit the company, but the missing permissions would lead to an error while saving changes made in the company management.

Fixed an issue which caused some functionality of empower^® for Word and Outlook not to work properly when using it on a terminal server.

The setting Default Signature Update Notification Mode has been introduced under Configuration in the empower^® Admin Center.

This setting allows admins to specify if update notifications for signatures should only be displayed briefly and closed automatically or if a dialog box should open and the user needs to actively close it.

Fixed an issue which, in rare cases, caused the creation of a company to fail, resulting in corrupted data that could only be fixed manually.

The search functionality for locations which is available when filling in a document or when managing the default values has been improved.

In case the search term fits the company name, the locations under that company are now also listed.

The performance and response times of empower^® for Outlook has been improved for admin users who have access to a large number of companies.

Fixed an issue where some values and labels in the Template Assistant could not be resolved.

Fixed an issue which caused the side pane to become unresponsive if clients were running in a Citrix environment.

empower^® has been upgraded to .NET10 Desktop Runtime to ensure continued platform support as .NET8 reaches end of support.

For further information from Microsoft, see .NET and .NET Core Support Policy.

Solved an issue which caused empty arrays from the EAV data scheme to be handled differently in Document Templates than before.

This issue could cause labels to be displayed if they had no corresponding value and should therefore have been hidden in the filled in document.
