KnowledgeLake Release Announcements for Summer, 2020

We’re excited to announce the Summer update for KnowledgeLake.  This update will be deployed to customers over the next couple of weeks.  Please be on the lookout for communication around your update. 

SharePoint On-Premise Search

Search for SharePoint On-Premise allows clients to securely search their on-premises content from the KnowledgeLake Cloud.   This enhancement will allow you to move your business processes to the cloud without having to migrate your content.  

Annotations

Users may view and annotate a document stored in SharePoint, SharePoint Online, or Azure Content Repository.  This will allow users to mark-up a document as part of their business process.   

Azure Functions 

The new Azure Function activity enables KnowledgeLake, our partners, and our clients to solve more business problems than ever.  It allows for easy, reusable, extensibility as a part of a process.

1. Convert currency amount from Dollar to Euro. 
2. Add a cover page to each document in a batch. 
3. Release documents to a home-grown repository.
