Benefit: This feature makes it easy to associate beneficiaries with Accounts created using the eTrade Registration Type.
Description: A flow for sending the beneficiary data is the following:
Docupace sends data to eTrade.
The eTrade account opens automatically through API.

New
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Create SSO-Only Users

Change: Added a new user attribute (SSO-only user) to the Security Realm.
Benefit: This attribute allows users to automatically create SSO-only users in Docupace.
Description: Added the new attribute in the Security Realm for a user: SSO only user. If the “SSO Only user” attribute is set to Yes, that user is forbidden from logging in via a username/password. The system displays error messages if trying to change or reset the password for "SSO only user”.

Security Realm
Forgot Password Settings

Benefit: This application preference prevents users from changing their passwords without administrator approval.
Description: Set the application preference "security.authentication.changePasswordAllowed" to “No” if you want to disable the ability to change the password. Use domain user settings to define this property for some roles or some users. The following error message is displayed if an unauthorized user attempts to change their password.

SSO
Change Password option is not displayed for SSO only users
Reference #: Winter_2020_DA5
Change: Change Password option is not displayed for SSO only users.
Benefit: This feature prevents SSO only users from changing their passwords without administrator approval.
Description: Technically SSO users have an account in Docupace for which they don't know the password. However, if they are able to reset the password, then they can log in directly to Docupace. This means that even if their account is disabled in that 3rd party Identity Provider, they will still be able to login directly in Docupace. To prevent this, the password option is not displayed for them.

Change: Added a button that allows users to reset AnnuityNet transactions.
Benefit: This allows users to make changes to a submitted transaction without having to create a whole new work item.
Description: Once AnnuityNet sends the documents to Docupace, the documents move into the waiting for eSignature step and are locked. Clicking the Reset button voids the completed AnnuityNet forms and the Transaction detail report. The Reset button then becomes the Launch AnnuityNet button. Previous selections will still be available, so users can update the desired information without having to start from the beginning.

Description: After an eligible work item is created in Starting Point, the system opens the Work Item Details screen. This button is visible if the work item is AnnuityNet eligible and has a specific AnnuityNet status. When users save and return to the Wizard later, the button text changes to “Relaunch AnnuityNet.”

SignIX
Sending Emails to eSign Recipients
Reference #: Winter_2020_INT6
Change: Fixed a bug that caused SIGNiX to send all eSign emails to a single recipient instead of each individual recipient.

Help for Developers
Reference #: Winter_2020_WID2
Change: Added ability to get key attributes of the work item (ID, a node opened from, etc.) and corresponding tasks for all components of DSP.
Benefit: With this feature implemented, a developer can get data that allows them to implement different DSP features such as transitions of the work items from DSP.
Description: When DSP creates a new Work Item or loads an existing Work Item, it populates the Work Item ID in $scope.wizardState.$workItem.id, and Work Item Tasks in $scope.wizardState.$workItem.tasks[]. As a result, there are now new options for creating a new work item or updating an existing one. It is also now possible to load all tasks of the current work item.

Change: Users can now specify enable the conditions for repeatable field-group buttons.
Benefit: This feature allows users to specify different conditions for Add/Remove buttons that are displayed for repeatable groups.
