New Wizard Workflows

With this release, EmpowerID introduces several new Wizard-based workflows for managing Azure applications and onboarding common objects like EmpowerID Persons, groups, and Management Roles. These new workflows reduce the amount of data users see upfront, making the process more intuitive and user-friendly.

New Adaptive Card Designer in Workflow Studio

Workflow Studio supports the design and development of adaptive cards for EmpowerID Chatbot. An adaptive card is a commonly used UI component in bot conversation. Adaptive cards are highly interactive since they support using rich text, graphics, input controls, and buttons to gather user input. One of the major advantages of using adaptive cards is the native rendering of the card; because the interface is inherited directly from the host, adaptive cards' UI/ UX appears to match with the framework it is being displayed in. See Adaptive Cards.
