We’re excited to announce Docentric AX 3.5.0, bringing Printing from Journals, Sending to SFTP, Print Archive Cleanup & more.
🎁Free Edition 👉🏽 Print from Common Journals
You can now print reports directly from common journal forms – individually, in bulk, or in batch.
Printing works with or without Print Management and supports on-the-fly setup of report templates and destinations. Currently supported:
- Customer invoice journals – Sales and Free text invoices
- Project invoice journals – All project invoice reports
✨Full Edition 👉🏽 Send Reports to SFTP
Reports can now be sent to SFTP servers via the Docentric File print destination.
- Configure SFTP server endpoints with user/password or private key authentication (stored in the database or Azure Key Vault), and optionally define proxy settings.
- When running a report, specify the remote folder path, overwrite rules, and whether to create non-existing folders automatically.
🎁Free Edition 👉🏽 Print Archive Cleanup
A new Print archive cleanup job helps manage archived report records and their corresponding archived report documents.
You can choose which entries to delete, run the job interactively or in batch, and control document removal per Document type used for archiving. A soft limit of 10,000 records per job is applied to prevent performance issues.
💫Other Improvements
- Suppress document routing: Prevent accidental printing to network printers – especially useful in UAT or test environments.
- Emailing updates: Send messages with only Cc/Bcc recipients and use a new data entity for Improved Collections process automation emailing.
- Extended SharePoint security: Choose an access mode (interactive, on-behalf-of, or app-only) when testing access to the default SharePoint server or any SharePoint URL.
- Improved utilities: Docentric Query Browser enhancements are now applied to the built-in Advanced filter or sort form (available under Page options on every form in D365FO), along with Docentric Label Browser bulk label copy and smarter registration of reports in the Docentric report setup.
