For more information, see Smart Connection full installation.

Content Station. Layouts created in InDesign 2020 can be opened directly from Content Station. This requires Content Station 11.58 or higher.

Elvis. Files can be placed that are stored in Elvis. This requires Elvis 6.40 or higher and the Elvis plug-in for InDesign version 3.7.1 or higher.

Changes

The following change has been made in this release of Smart Connection:

Elvis. The functionality of updating placed files in a workflow in which Smart Connection and Elvis are used has changed in combination with the Elvis plug-in version 3.7.5 or higher (released as part of Elvis 6.44).

When choosing Smart Connection > Update All Content, all outdated files stored in Elvis, Enterprise, or elsewhere are now automatically updated. In previous versions, only outdated Enterprise files were automatically updated.

New features

The following feature has been added in this release of Smart Connection:

Opening files in Smart Connection from a custom Web application. When making use of a Web application (such as a planning tool or a custom application), users may want to directly open layouts or articles directly from that application into InDesign or InCopy with Smart Connection installed.

This can be made possible by letting the application call a URL with specific parameters. Using this method, the following can be done:

Open layouts in InDesign or articles in InCopy
Open multiple layouts or articles with one URL
Open the files checked-out or as read-only
Open a template for editing or instantiate a new document from the template

New features

No features have been introduced in this release of Smart Connection.

Changes

The following change has been made in this release of Smart Connection:

Single sign-on: Preventing Smart Connection from checking if Enterprise Server is SSO-enabled. When Smart Connection with support for single sign-on (SSO) connects to Enterprise Server, a check is done to see if that version of Enterprise Server has SSO enabled.

When Smart Connection with support for single sign-on connects to a version of Enterprise Server which does not contain this service, a fatal PHP error is logged by Enterprise Server. Although harmless in itself, the error unnecessarily triggers alarms in system monitoring tools.

It was already possible to prevent Smart Connection from performing the SSO check by modifying the URLs that are defined in the WWSettings.xml file, but this did not affect URLs that are defined in the configserver.php file.

This has now been made possible by the following option that can be added to the configserver.php file:

new Feature( 'sso', 'false'),

For more information, see Preventing Smart Connection from checking if Enterprise Server is SSO-enabled.

Downloads

New features

The following new features have been introduced in this release of Smart Connection:

When Smart Connection with support for single sign-on (SSO) connects to Enterprise Server, a check is done to see if that version of Enterprise Server has SSO enabled.

This check is done by a service named 'GetNativeAppAuthenticationInfo' which was introduced in Enterprise Server 10.6.0.

When Smart Connection with support for single sign-on connects to a version of Enterprise Server which does not contain this service, a fatal PHP error is logged by Enterprise Server.

Although harmless in itself, the error unnecessarily triggers alarms in system monitoring tools.

When users of Smart Connection containing SSO support have to connect to an instance of Enterprise Server without support for the mentioned service (version 10.5 or older), Smart Connection can be prevented from performing the SSO check. This is done by including an 'sso' attribute in the URL for connecting to those servers.

File: WWSettings.xml file
Area: SCEnt:ServerInfo element (see Adding Servers to the Log In list of Smart Connection)
Name of option: sso
Values: true or false

Example 1: A list with a single URL to Enterprise Server, including the 'sso' attribute.

<SCEnt:Servers> 
<SCEnt:ServerInfo name="Enterprise" url="http://localhost:8888/Enterprise/index.php" sso="false"/> 
</SCEnt:Servers>

Example 2: A list of multiple servers (some with support for the service and some without), in which the attribute is added only to those servers that do not support the service:

<SCEnt:Servers> 
<SCEnt:ServerInfo name="Enterprise" url="http://localhost/Enterprise/index.php"/> 
<SCEnt:ServerInfo name="WoodWing Demo" url="http://localhost:8888/Enterprise/index.php" sso="false"/>
</SCEnt:Servers>

New features

The following new feature has been introduced in this release of Smart Connection:

Support for Single Sign-on (SSO) using Okta. Single sign-on is a process in which users log in once to an authentication provider that manages their user credentials.

Once logged in to that authentication provider, each subsequent log-in to an application that is connected to that provider is automatically handled by that system. This drastically reduces the number of times that users have to manually log in on a daily basis.

Implementing single sign-on is done in Enterprise Server 10.7.0 and higher and is supported in Smart Connection 14.1.0.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Smart Connection:

Scripting Guide: Sample for an idle task added. In some rare occasions conflicts occur between an event and the scripted actions executed at that event.

Example: An afterCreateArticle.jsx script could perform a check-out operation of an article that was just created while Smart Connection might not have finalized all actions related to article creation such as locking all related (article) components. As a result the scripted check-out operation fails as the specified component is not locked or no locked components are found.

These type of issues can be solved by adding an idle task and a listener to the script. An example has been added to the Scripting Guide showing how this can be done. See 'Conflicts' in the Scripting Events chapter of the Scripting Guide.

Scripting Guide: afterRefreshArticle updated. Support for InDesign and InDesign Server has been added to the afterRefreshArticle event.

Known issues

No known issues exist in this release of Smart Connection.

Changes

Known issues

The following known issues exist in this release of Smart Connection:

EN-91756 The About WoodWing dialog does not appear on MacOS.

This issue happens infrequently and in particular on MacOS 10.14 (Mojave). We do not have evidence that it also happens on other MacOS versions, but we cannot rule it out.

The cause of the issue is that occasionally the underlying 'WoodWingUI ZXP' extension is not installed. After analysis, we found that this happens especially after upgrading the InDesign version, for instance from 'InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1' to 'InDesign CC 2019 14.0.2'.

After such an update sometimes the Adobe Extension Manager database gets corrupted after which it is no longer possible to register new extensions.

The Extension Manager is Adobe technology and we therefore depend on Adobe to fix this. We have filed a support issue to Adobe.

In Smart Connection 14.0.1 we made 2 improvements:

Updated the Adobe command line tool 'ExManCmd' to the latest version. This tool is called from the Smart Connection installer to install the ZXP extension. This does however not resolve the problem.

Provided a repair tool 'WWExMan'. This tool is installed in the InDesign Application folder, in the 'WoodWingUI ZXP' sub folder. It can be run from the command line and repairs the registration of Adobe applications within the Adobe Extension Manager. Call './WWExMan -h' for more information. Note that this repair tool is only a workaround.

Fixed issues

The following issue has been fixed in this release of Smart Connection:

EN-91248 InDesign often crashes during launch after installing Smart Connection or replacing Smart Connection plug-ins.

Details: After installing the Smart Connection for CC 2018 plug-ins, InDesign often crashes almost immediately after launching it. When relaunching it several times, the application becomes and remains stable. After running the installer again or replacing plug-ins, the problem typically occurs again.

The issue occurs on both MacOS and Windows, but the frequency of crashing on MacOS is higher than on Windows. The crash only happens with InDesign; InCopy and InDesign Server for CC 2018 do not have this problem.

The cause of the problem was found in the resources of the ElementLabelUI plug-in. It turned out that during packaging and creating the installer, one of the resource files got corrupted. This has now been fixed.

Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in this release of Smart Connection:

EN-91354 Scripting call "ManagedArticle::detachComponent" does not work.

EN-91355 Smart Connection panel: Hierarchical items do not expand on the second page.

EN-91356 InDesign CC 2018 always requests to download Enterprise images when saving and checking in a layout with CreatePagePreview configured only.

EN-91393 Smart Connection panel: Inbox does not show carets for expanding file hierarchy.

Note: Especially the fix for EN-91356 is important for the general use of Smart Connection.

In Smart Connection for CC 2018 13.0.0 - 13.0.2 build 20 all images that are placed on the layout were always retrieved from Enterprise Server during a Save Version or Check In action of a layout.

However, in some scenarios these images are not always needed (for example when they are only required for generating page previews for use in the Publication Overview). Downloading all images at those moment then results in an unnecessary delay for the user.

With the fix for EN-91356, images are only downloaded if it is required to have the native image files available, for instance for the creation of page PDFs or for High Quality display in InDesign.

New features

The following new features have been introduced in this release of Smart Connection:

Controlling if placed Enterprise images should be updated when opening a layout. By default, when a layout is opened all placed content is updated to the latest available version. This behavior can now be changed so that placed Enterprise files of a particular type are not updated to their latest available version. Layout designers can then verify each change themselves, manually update each file and make adjustments when needed.

The following types of files are affected by enabling automatic updating:

Images
Layout Modules
Spreadsheets

Configuring this behavior can be done in the following locations:

In the configserver.php file of Enterprise Server by setting the option 'UpdateImagesOnOpen'.
In the WWSettings.xml file by setting the option 'UpdateImagesOnOpen'.
In the InDesign preferences by enabling the option 'Update Placed Enterprise Files When Opening a Layout'.

The working of each setting can be affected by another setting. For example: when the option is set through the WWSettings.xml file, any configuration done in the configserver.php file is overruled and the InDesign preference is disabled.

For more information, see Configuring how placed Enterprise files should be handled when opening a layout with Smart Connection for InDesign.

Layout icons. When a newer version of a placed Enterprise file is available, an icon in the form of a yellow triangle is now shown in the top left corner of the frame.

Changes

The following change has been made in this release of Smart Connection:

Updating links manually. The option named 'SkipUpdateLinks' which could be configured in the WWSettings.xml file has been made obsolete in Smart Connection 13.0.2 or any higher version of Smart Connection. It has been replaced by the new way of controlling if placed Enterprise images should be updated when opening a layout (see above).

Known issues

No known issues exist in this release of Smart Connection.

Changes

The following change has been made in this release of Smart Connection:

Changes made to Issues in Enterprise Server are now automatically updated in Smart Connection. When Issues are created, modified, deleted, or reordered in Enterprise Server, the user interface in Smart Connection is now dynamically updated. This applies in particular to the Smart Connection panel (the Issues list in Browse mode and the Search Criteria dialog box). In previous versions, the user had to log out and log in again to see these changes.

This improvement requires Enterprise Server 10.4.1 or later. It also requires either broadcasting enabled, or RabbitMQ up and running.

Note: Content Station 11 does not yet support this dynamic update of the mentioned Issue changes. This is planned for an upcoming release. This functionality will not be added to Content Station 9.

Smart Connection panel: performance improvement. When the Smart Connection panel is used in Hierarchical View mode and the panel is refreshed, Smart Connection now requests Enterprise Server for a flat, non-hierarchical query instead of a query for the full hierarchy as is done in previous versions. As a result, much less data is needed to display the results, thereby increasing the refresh time of the panel. When the user expands Dossiers, layouts or articles, additional queries are performed to show objects deeper in the hierarchy. These additional queries are also relatively small and fast to display. Altogether, the changes in Smart Connection 13.0.1 will lead to a much faster display of query results in Smart Connection.

Smart Connection panel: opening Dossiers. A Dossier can now also be opened by right-clicking it and choosing Open from the context menu.

Smart Connection panel: filtering. Filtering the Smart Connection panel can now also be done on the following file types:

Advert
Archive
Article template
Audio
Dossier template
Hyperlink
Layout template
Layout Module template
Library
Presentation
Spreadsheet
Task
Video

(For more information, see the Release Notes for Smart Connection 12.2.0). However, the previous article format 'WCML2' was still used as the default article format.

In Smart Connection 13.0.0, the WCML3 article format has been made the default article format.

When needed, the WCML2 format can be set as the default format by enabling the Server Feature: 'WcmlVersion2'.

new Feature( 'WcmlVersion2' ),

Known issues

The following known issue exists for this release of Smart Connection:

Accessing menus. When a file that is placed on a layout is selected and one of the below mentioned menus is accessed, it can take longer than usual for that menu to appear. This is because the selected file is first downloaded in the background before the menu can be displayed. This can be especially noticeable for large files such as PDFs, Photoshop files or Illustrator files. This issue will be fixed in a future version of Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2018. It affects the following menus:
The sub menus of Edit > Edit With…
The Links panel menu > Edit With…
The context menu of a selected file
The context menu of a selected link in the Links panel

New features

Changes

The following change has been made in this release of Smart Connection:

Changes made to Issues in Enterprise Server are now automatically updated in Smart Connection. When Issues are created, modified, deleted, or reordered in Enterprise Server, the user interface in Smart Connection is now dynamically updated. This applies in particular to the Smart Connection panel (the Issues list in Browse mode and the Search Criteria dialog box). In previous versions, the user had to log out and log in again to see these changes.

This improvement requires Enterprise Server 10.4.1 or later. It also requires either broadcasting enabled, or RabbitMQ up and running.

Technical details: The Smart Connection client is notified by the server using messaging, either by broadcast/multicast, or by RabbitMQ push notifications. New events were introduced in Enterprise Server 10.4.1 (CreateIssue, ModifyIssue, DeleteIssue, UpdateIssuesOrder, UpdatePubChannel). These have not yet been added to the Web Services guide; this is planned for the next update of the guide which is scheduled for Enterprise Server 10.5.

Known issues

Downloads

The download files for this version of Smart Connection can be found in the Release announcement.

New features

The following new features have been introduced in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2015 (version 12.1.0 build 11):

Changes

The following changes have been made in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2015 (version 12.1.0 build 11):

Configuring columns no longer resets panels. With the fixes for EN-35354 and EN-88961, the behavior of column configuration of the panels in Smart Connection has been improved. Before the fixes, a change in the Query Result Columns in the Dialog Setup maintenance page would result in a reset of the columns in InDesign. For example: if the administrator adds a custom property to the Query Result Columns, all InDesign and InCopy clients would fall back to a default set of columns after the user logs in. With the fixes, the configuration of the visible columns and the ordering of columns the InDesign and InCopy clients will no longer be lost. This applies to the Smart Connection panel, the Dossier panel and other query panels. The changes affect all query modes (Browse, Inbox, Search, Saved queries, and so on).

wwcx (CS4 article format): 'read' support has been removed. The wwcx article format was replaced by the wcml format in InDesign CS 5 and InCopy CS5 (released in 2010). With Smart Connection for CC 2017 version 12.1.0, articles stored in wwcx format cannot be opened any longer.

New features

The following new feature has been introduced in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2015 (version 11.0.5) build 24:

Adding an Elvis image to Enterprise

Images that are stored in Elvis can now be directly added to Enterprise by using Smart Connection (in previous versions an Elvis image first needed to be added to a Dossier in Content Station to make it part of Enterprise).

Adding an Elvis image to Enterprise can now be done in various ways:

By adding an image manually:
Add the image to a Dossier (using Content Station)
Place the image on an InDesign layout and choose Smart Connection > Create Image
Place the image on an InDesign layout and make it part of an article when checking in the article

By adding an image automatically:
Place the image on an InDesign layout
Open an InDesign layout with a placed Elvis image and make it part of an article when checking in the article

Whether an Elvis image is added automatically or should be added manually is controlled through a setting in the WWSettings.xml file or through the Preferences.

Depending on how Enterprise is configured, the Elvis image is used as a shadow object, as a copy, or as a variant.

For more information, see Adding Elvis 5 images to Enterprise 10.

Changes

No changes have been implemented in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2015 (version 11.0.5) build 24.

Known issues

This release improves the Page Style/Prefix functionality. In a Brand that contains Editions, each Edition may have its own unique Page Style and Prefix. We already supported different Page Styles and Prefixes within an Edition (after a so-called page section), but still some limitations exist:

Only a limited number of page styles are supported: "1,2,3,...", "I,II,III,...", "i,ii,iii,...", "A,B,C,...", "a,b,c,...".
Leading zeros in the page number are not supported (not as a prefix, nor as a style).
Regarding compatibility with older minor versions (such as version 11.0.4): when clients running version 11.0.5 opens documents from a previous minor version or when a client running an older minor version opens a document created with version 11.0.5, only the page order is guaranteed to be preserved; the page style or prefix may be lost.

New features

The following new feature has been introduced in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014 (version 10.2.6) build 146:

Adding an Elvis image to Enterprise

Adding an Elvis image to Enterprise can now be done in various ways:

By adding an image manually:
Add the image to a Dossier (using Content Station)
Place the image on an InDesign layout and choose Smart Connection > Create Image
Place the image on an InDesign layout and make it part of an article when checking in the article

For more information, see Adding Elvis 5 images to Enterprise 10.

Documentation

Adding Elvis 5 images to Enterprise 10 - updated
Scripting for Smart Connection - updated

Known issues

EN-88648 Incorrect Copyfit information in Content Station for stand-alone articles created from an article template.

With Enterprise Server 10.0.4 in combination with Smart Connection 10.2.6 for Adobe CC 2014 installed on InDesign Server, the calculation of copyfit information for articles opened in Content Station is moved from the scripting (IDPreview.js) to the plug-ins. During testing of Smart Connection 10.2.6 we found that for stand-alone articles that are created from an article template, InDesign Server always reports 'copyfit', regardless of the article content. This issue is planned to be resolved in Enterprise Server 10.1.2 and 10.0.5.

Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014 (version 10.2.6) build 146:

EN-87515 Improve type ahead functionality for Route To, Dossier and custom list properties in workflow dialogs.

Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014 (version 10.2.5 build 136) Quick Patch

Release date: 20 January 2017

Fixed issues

The following issue has been fixed in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014 (version 10.2.5 build 136):

EN-88595 'If Editions are used, page number section prefixes disappear when saving a layout'

This issue was introduced in Smart Connection 10.2.5 and released with 10.2.5 build 131. It is a side effect of code changes for issue EN-87996 'Support new page numbering options in planning interface of Smart Connection' that were made in Smart Connection 10.2.5. To fix the regression ticket, we had to revert changes for EN-87996. As a result, the new page numbering options are not available in Smart Connection 10.2.5 build 136.

The next patch release of Smart Connection, version 10.2.6, will fix both issues and thereby re-introduce the new page numbering options.

Release date: 3 August 2015

New features

The following new feature has been introduced in Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014 (version 10.0.3 build 37).

Publishing to Adobe DPS (2015) using Smart Connection for InDesign

Content for the Adobe Digital Publishing Solution (Adobe DPS 2015) can now be created and published using Smart Connection for InDesign.

A typical workflow is the following:

A layout is created in InDesign.
The layout is uploaded to Adobe as an article by checking in the layout.
The article is added to a Collection; when a Collection already exists, the article is automatically added to that Collection; else the Collection is automatically created.
The article and the publication that it is part of is further managed on the Adobe Web site.
The article and/or the publication is published from the Adobe Web site.

Note: Content Station is not used for managing or publishing Adobe DPS (2015) content: all steps are performed in either InDesign or on the Adobe DPS Web site.

¹ This issue is caused by the Fullscreen mode not working in the Adobe App.

² The functionality to display the article name on the right side in the Story and Galley view in InCopy is disabled in Smart Connection for CC 2014 (10.0.3). This is done so that the following issues could be fixed:

EN-85499 Wrong cursor in Adobe InCopy CC 2014.

Issue EN-85632 is planned to be resolved with the release of Smart Connection 10.0.4. It will be fixed by re-implementing the functionality to display the article name in the story bar. The position of the article name will likely move to the left and is to be combined with the article component name.
