Changing the Entry Template during a document check-in

(IBM FileNet P8 and IBM Content Manager users only.) If a document is added by an Entry Template, when you check in a document, you can change the entry template for that document. The document class is also updated.

For Users: As part of checking in a document, you can select a different Entry Template to assign to your document, which also updates the document class.

For Administrators: Select the desktop where you want to enable this feature. On the General tab, go to Additional Settings and select Allow users to change Entry Template during check in documents.

A new authentication behavior of the Edit Service client

The Edit Service client does not require users to authenticate again if they already authenticated through the IBM Content Navigator web browser.

There are special cases where authentication is still required from the Edit Service client.

A custom Identity Provider (IdP) server is used, which applies a token exchange mechanism during authentication.
When the Edit Service client is started after the user already authenticated IBM Content Navigator from the browser. In this situation, the user needs to refresh the browser page to allow the web to send the authentication token to the Edit client again. If the user does not refresh the browser, the Edit client resorts to the previous method of authentication and opens an authentication window.
A custom certificate is used and the password for the custom certificate is stored in the IBM Content Navigator database. In this case, the Edit client needs to retrieve the custom certificate password from the IBM Content Navigator database upon launch. This retrieval process requires authentication.
A user has unsaved document changes to the local workstation that results from a lost network connection or from other reasons. The network becomes online and tries to upload the unsaved changes.
