Automatic Document Watermarking - New 17.1

Customers can enhance their Quality Management Systems (QMS) by enabling automatic document control watermarks that appear every time a document is viewed or printed providing customizable process/document information and instructions.

Managed Options - New 17.1

A new interface has been provided for FileHold administrators to manage options that were previously only available by editing configuration files directly in Windows Server. This opens a number of configuration options for FileHold Cloud customers and provides an easy-to-use interface for all customers.

Modern Authentication (External Identity Provider) - New 17.0

Authenticate users in FileHold against your OAuth/OIDC server such as Entra, Okta, SecureAuth, Auth0, etc. With Entra authentication, share a single sign on between your Microsoft 365 and other Entra-enabled applications. Automatically take advantage of the multifactor authentication you have configured in your external identity provider to secure FileHold.

External Signature Integration With DocuSign - New 17.0

DocuSign has more signature users than any other provider and FileHold has partnered with them to integrate their service directly into your FileHold workflows. Now you can choose between Adobe Acrobat Sign and DocuSign without being locked into a single provider.

Configurable Log In Experience - Enhanced 17.0

There are now plenty of options to customize the look and feel of your web client log in page with your organization's branding and most used options. There is also an optional post log in information page to present users with terms and conditions for using your site with an available opt-out button. Most configuration can be performed directly in the system administration menu.
