Workflows
PM2-8690 Limit Phase Owner Abilities
A phase-by-phase setting, established within a workflow template, will determine if a Phase Owner can complete a phase before all sequenced participants have completed their turns.
PM2-8070 Admins will be able to configure individual phases within each workflow template so that a Phase Owner cannot complete the phase until all sequenced participants have completed their turns.
In the workflow template editor, a new checkbox, Phase Owner can complete phase before all sequenced participants have completed their turns, will appear under the Phase Manager field if the selected Phase Manager role is Phase Owner.
The box is checked by default.
If you uncheck the box, then you’ll see the following message: The Phase Owner will not be able to complete the phase if any active sequenced participant remains.
This will not apply to Phase Mediators, as Phase Mediators already cannot complete a phase until all participants have completed their turns. If the Phase Mediator is selected as Phase Manager, then the checkbox will be hidden.
This will not apply to Negotiation Phases with Open selected as the Review Type. If Open is selected as the Review Type, then the checkbox will be hidden.
This will not affect the ability of users with Admin permissions for a workflow to complete the phase.
PM2-9030 If a workflow phase has been configured this way, and not all sequenced participants have taken their turns:
The Phase Owner will not see the Complete Phase button.
The Phase Owner will see the following message:
The phase cannot be completed until all sequenced participants have taken action.

Bug & Defect Fixes
Users
PM2-9443 DEFECT FIX Abstraction users were erroneously inserted into non-Abstraction workflows.
Abstraction users were available to be selected as preferred proxies.
Abstraction users with additional permission sets were available for random proxy selection.
This has been fixed; any user with an Abstraction permission set will be excluded from all proxy selection.
PM2-9446 DEFECT FIX Abstraction users with additional permission sets were available to be mentioned (tagged) in comments.
This has been fixed; any user with an Abstraction permission set will be excluded from the list of available users to be mentioned in comments.
Notifications
PM2-9135 BUG FIX Some nightly jobs, such as scheduled emails and auto-renewals, occasionally failed.
Occasionally, when many operations were running for different tenants at the exact same time, the CLM database became temporarily unavailable.
As a result, when the nightly jobs ran, some jobs failed because the database wasn’t yet available to be used (as it was still being loaded into memory).
To mitigate this, we added retry logic so that nightly jobs should run as expected.
We will contact affected customers directly.
Worklist
PM2-9193 DEFECT FIX Users could apply saved filters to the worklist before it fully loaded, causing the results to show incorrectly.
This has been fixed; saved filters can no longer be applied before the worklist before it has finished loading.
Workflows
PM2-9288 DEFECT FIX Reference Docs added to form template failed to appear in Request workflows using that form template.
This has been fixed; Reference Docs will appear in Request workflows as they do in non-request workflows.PM2-9280 DEFECT FIX In some workflows using DocuSign, signatories were able to sign in DocuSign before the Signature Phase had been started.
This has been fixed; signatories will be unable to sign documents in DocuSign until the Signature Phase has been started.PM2-9247 DEFECT FIX When a phase with a user group member as a sequenced participant was retracted, the phase would fail to sequence a user group member after retraction.
The role of the user group was listed under the Participant Sequence, but no group member was listed as a Sequenced Participant.
This happened if the user group was sequenced in the workflow template.
This has been fixed; user groups will function as expected in retracted phases.
Reporting
PM2-8819 DEFECT FIX Attempting to load the Users tab in Reporting returned a Something Went Wrong Loading Users error.
This has been fixed; users will be able to access the Users tab in Reporting as expected.
Contracts
PM2-9143 DEFECT FIX Contract Moderators were unable to comment on contracts.
This has been fixed; Contract Moderators will be able to comment on contracts as expected.
Admin
PM2-9045 DEFECT FIX In the Set Participant Sequence modal on the workflow template, the User dropdown failed to populate with available participants.
This has been fixed; the User dropdown will populate with available participants as expected.
Vendor Pulse Check
PM2-9184 DEFECT FIX In a survey, entering a character in the Additional Information field after selecting “Does not meet” caused the field to deselect, so the Respondent had to select the field again to continue typing.
This has been fixed; the Additional Information field will behave as expected.
