What's New

Digital Journey Map

A Digital Journey is a set of steps and decision points which take the users throughout a process, carrying them from one step to another. It has multiple flows, such as a client and operator flow.

In order to see all flows together and rules for transitions between steps, the map makes it available to add flows, access and configure each step, perform actions, delete a step, or make modifications to the journey. The map's utility facilitates the process of building complex digital journeys with multiple form driven flows to be navigated, and to include several automation processors or matrices as well in each step. This overview picture of the flows with their steps is useful for the navigation and orientation between the parts of a digital journey. For details, see the FintechOS PlatformUser Guide.

Custom Processor Step

FintechOS offers a large variety of micro-services with embedded AI, making it possible for the user to build fully automated digital journeys.

A new type of step has been introduced to the form driven flow configuration. Two types are available: default and processor. When creating a new step in a digital journey, a user can choose to call a processor in that step by selecting the type of processor, as well as the configurations made for that particular processor. For example, a user can build a processor-type step by selecting the eSign processor and the processor's settings, followed by the navigation rules. For details, see FintechOS PlatformUser Guide.

Calling the Formula Engine via no-code

This automation processor uses different inputs in order to generate desired outputs. You can implement multi-step calculations using a variety of data types and built-in functions.

After defining the formula input with its arguments and defining its expression, it is possible to call the formula using a no-code approach by executing the formula in form actions within a digital journey. For each step, add the formula executed in the action. This process is effortless for any user. For example, for calculating a complex eligibility formula, you can trigger the calculation of the age formula on the secondary step, and the calculation of the salary in the third step. For details, see the FintechOS PlatformUser Guide.

Data packages deployment

This feature makes it possible to create packages for export based on an entity and its attributes with their constraints.

When you need to transfer data and metadata from one environment to another and include the values for the said attributes, the feature makes it easy to export the chosen data, and to import it into another instance of FintechOS, safely and in record time. The user builds a new package by selecting the information he wishes to have in the package. Large packages are downloaded locally and imported later on into a different FintechOS Studio instance, either in the same database or a different one, depending on your needs. For details, see the FintechOS PlatformUser Guide.

Data Pipes web.config key

This feature allows our consultants to connect with data such as online or on-premise applications, databases, and Web APIs. After connecting, you can replicate it in the FintechOS database. The 150 data sources available ensure a wide variety of sources for all needs. Data pipes make it undemanding to create a connection with the providers of data access solutions.

Starting with this release, in order to have the Data Pipes up and running, this key is added to the web.config file in Studio: <add key="core-setting-cdata-proxy-url" value="http://192.168.30.18:7090" /> (the value should be changed accordingly). For details, see FintechOS PlatformUser Guide.

Payment Processor Service

This new feature makes it possible to add payment methods for a complete Digital Journey. Once a client is in the final stages of a journey, it may require them to make a payment, therefore, a payment service will be configured by inserting the name of the service in the web.config file. Hence, a user can pay for a service online with a seamless integration of a payment method in a journey.
