The update guide for the on-site applications is available in a separate article.
Freedom UI Designer
Freedom UI elements
Action dashboard
- The actions you add to the Action dashboard now appear on the canvas in real time.
Tabs
-
It is now possible to select the tab style, including the color of the tab panel and tab titles.
-
Tab titles now support icons. You can use both text and an icon or replace text with an icon.
Set up a tab title -
A setup area, where you can manage tab parameters as well as copy tabs together with their content, was added.
Inputs
- Input fields now support placeholders that contain text and links. If the input has validation set up, the validation message takes priority to the placeholder.
Buttons
-
It is now possible to set up menus for action buttons. Menus support multiple levels. A menu item title can contain text, an icon, or both. You can copy existing menu items to accelerate the setup process. You can also copy existing buttons together with their settings.
Set up a button that has a menu -
If you set up a button that adds records and different record types use different pages, Freedom UI Designer generates the button menu automatically.
-
New “Refresh data” button action was added. Use the action to refresh data without refreshing the entire page. The Expanded list component and list page template come with this button pre-configured out-of-the-box.
-
The icon library for button titles was expanded.
-
You can now set different button sizes quickly: S, M, L, XL. For example, this lets you increase the size of icon buttons or reduce the size of text buttons to unify the visual design of the page.
-
When you set up a button action that runs business processes, you can select only the latest business process versions.
-
If you create a business process when setting up the button, Freedom UI Designer populates the process selection field in the button setup area with the process automatically upon saving.
-
Buttons that open pages now let you create and edit the relevant page as part of the button setup. This lets you accelerate the app setup process substantially.
Label
- The number of Label element styles was increased.
Freedom UI management
List management
- Row numbering was added. This streamlines navigation and data management.
- It is now possible to select individual list cells and move between them using keyboard arrows.
- You can now copy the content of a selected cell using the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.
- When you add a record and return to the list, Creatio highlights the new row.
- You can apply list settings to every app user immediately.
Data management
- Creatio saves data of the folder tree and selected folder settings to the user profile and applies it every time you open the section.
- It is now possible to manage folder access permissions while working in the app. To do this, select the “Set up access rights” action in the folder menu.

You can now drill down the chart data. You can drill down individual chart points and columns or each chart series. When you drill down the chart data, you can customize the data list similarly to a section list.
Drilling down the chart data -
When you work in the app, you can change the chart type to analyze data more efficiently.
-
The appearance of the Gauge component was improved:
- Sections are now split visually.
- Captions are shifted so that they do not overlap with the gauge.
- It is now possible to customize section colors.
Performance
- Performance of Freedom UI was improved.
No-code platform
Application Hub
App export
-
It is now possible to download an app as an archive to transfer it to different environments. To do this, click “Download” in the app actions menu. This action is available for all apps except base Creatio products.
-
When you download an app, Creatio also saves the app properties:
- icon
- color
- name
- description
Creatio applies the data when you install the app into a different environment.

Business processes
Process setup recommendations
- The accuracy of process setup prediction was improved.
- The recommendation mechanism predicts both the most probable elements and their settings, which lets you accelerate the business process setup substantially.
- Process Designer displays the process step recommendations after you set up an existing element to ensure that prediction corresponds to the element settings.
Approvals
- Creatio now sends approval notifications to a large group of approvers faster.
Case setup
- Creatio saves cases set up for Freedom UI sections to the same package as the corresponding app. This streamlines the transfer of functionality between environments.
Integrations
Data repository integration
- Integration with an external Azure Blow Storage file repository was implemented. After you connect the repository, the files uploaded to the Attachments detail or attached to emails are saved to Azure Blob Storage automatically. This lets you reduce the Creatio database size without introducing file restrictions and reduce the time spent on database maintenance.
Email Listener setup
- It is now possible to open the Email Listener diagnostics page quickly from either the menu in the communication panel or page of configured email services. This requires permission to the “Email providers list setup” (“CanManageMail” servers code) system operation.
- The Email Listener microservice diagnostics page now checks whether the microservice can connect to the Creatio website.
Email management
Mailbox setup
-
If a user who exceeded the daily sent message limit in Gmail tries to send an email from Creatio, they receive a corresponding notification.
-
Creatio now handles external issues that block email synchronization. If such a situation occurs, Creatio displays the message that contains the issue description. This lets you resolve the issue without the need to contact support. Creatio handles the following situations:
- Office365 or Exchange email account does not have a Microsoft license.
- The account has two-factor authentication enabled in the email service.
- The account has IMAP support disabled.
-
If an authentication error occurs during the email synchronization, Creatio pauses the process and resumes it later without user input.
Administration
Containerized components
- It is now possible to deploy global search and bulk duplicate search components using Kubernetes orchestrator and Helm package manager. Learn more in separate articles: Global search, Bulk duplicate search.
Oracle
- Creatio moved to Managed OCAD 12 library, which lets you use newer Oracle versions.
