Our July 2022 Folio Release includes features such as Date based automations, improved set up of dependent fields and more. Here is the full list of features in this release:
Scheduling Automations
Until now you could only trigger automations when an event occurs and conditions are met.
You can now schedule automations to happen after an event has happened and conditions are met. You can set up your Automation to be triggered a certain number of days or weeks after a record is Created or Closed or Moved to a stage, if conditions are met at that point in time.
For e.g. this feature could be used to check 5 days after an incident record is created and if the record is still in the incident investigation stage. If it is, the automation could trigger an email notification to the Senior Management Team that the incident has not been resolved yet.
Automations Based On Dates
Automations can now also be triggered based on any Date field on the Folio record, you can have the automation triggered On a Date, Before the Date or After the Date

Automation to send Notifications to All Users in a Business Unit or a Location
Automation Notifications can now be sent to all users in a Business Unit or in a Location. This feature will save you having to add or remove users from the automation every time users in the business unit or location are changed.

Improvements to the setup of Folio Templates, Checklists and other Layouts
We have made some changes to the editing of fields on Folio Templates, Questions on Checklists and on other Layouts.
- All fields/ Questions now include a field type label, so that you can easily tell what type of field it is.
- Sections and Tables will no longer collapse after you have edited a field and you return to view all fields.
- Previous and Next buttons allow you to easily move through the fields in any layout.
- On Checklists you will also now find the additional options (Mandatory, Evidence/Comments, Actions, Deliverable) under the ellipsis at the end of the questions
Easier setup of Dependent Fields
- The Dependent button that enables you to set up dependencies is on the field itself making it easily accessible. It also tells you if there are dependencies on answers in that field or not.
- Clicking on the Dependent button will now show you all dependencies on answers in that field.
- We have made it easy to identify fields that are dependent on answers in other fields by adding the dependent icon. Hover on the dependent icon to view both the fields and answers that are the source of the dependency.

- You can now Create new Contacts from a Single or Multi select set to Lookup Contacts
- You can also now restrict the Contacts a user will see in a Contact Lookup to only be from the Entities selected in another field
DocuSign Witness Signatures
We have added the ability to have witnesses to witness DocuSign Signatures. Each signer will have the ability to nominate a witness.
