Feature toggles

Sometimes, different features in implementations need to be switched on or off. This could be because a feature is (not) needed, or a feature is currently in development and is switched off by default, enabling the release chain to continue uninhibited.

Below is an overview of available feature toggles for Valtimo, with a short description of their function.

Front-end

In the frontend, feature toggles can be configured under the featureToggles key in the Angular environment file(s) with a boolean value.

• applicationTitleAsSuffix

  By default, the application title is shown in the browser tab as a prefix e.g. 'Valtimo - Processes'. With this featureToggle it is possible to change this to 'Processes - Valtimo'.

• showUserNameInTopBar

  If enabled, the full name of the user currently logged in is shown in the top bar next to the user menu button.

• experimentalDmnEditing

  If enabled, it is possible to edit DMN tables from the ui from the admin page. This feature is experimental, please refer to the release notes for known issues.

• disableCaseCount

  If set to true, showing the number of open cases in the menu is disabled.

• caseListColumn

  If enabled, the column list tab will be shown on the case management page. Enabled by default when not configured.

• showPlantATreeButton

  If enabled, a 'Plant a tree' button will appear in the right sidebar.

• sortFilesByDate

  If enabled, files under the documents tab on a case detail page will be sorted by date in descending order.

• largeLogoMargin

  If enabled, the logo on the left in the top bar will have a large margin around it. This works well for logo's that are bigger horizontally than they are vertically.

• returnToLastUrlAfterTokenExpiration

  If enabled, the user will be returned to the page they were last on before they were automatically logged out after their refresh token expired.

• enableCompactModeToggle If enabled, the user can toggle compact mode in the user settings. When both toggles are enabled, this will free up vertical space by moving the breadcrumbs and page title to the top header next to the logo.

• enableFormFlowBreadCrumbs If enabled, users will see a new breadcrumb trail on top of every form flow. This allows a user to quickly navigate between the different steps of the form flow. See this page for more information.

• enableObjectManagement

  If enabled, a new menu item 'objects' will appear in the left sidebar menu. Enabled by default when not configured. This menu item can have one or more submenu items depending on the configuration. For more information here

• hideValtimoVersionsForNonAdmins

  If enabled, the Valtimo version information in the right sidebar will only be visible for admins and will be hidden for any other users.

• enableTabManagement

  If enabled, tabs will be configured for each case type in the back-end. Enabled by default when not configured. For more information on this option, visit this page . If disabled, the tabs for each case type will be the same, and will be configured from the AppModule. For information on this option, visit this page.

• useStartEventNameAsStartFormTitle

  If enabled, BPMN start event names will be used as title for start forms instead of the standard Start - ${process-name} format.

• allowUserThemeSwitching

  If enabled, a new dropdown will appear in user settings, where the user can switch between themes. This feature toggle is enabled by default.

• enableIntermediateSave If enabled, user will be able to save their progress on a form and continue later. This feature toggle is enabled by default.

• enablePbacDocumentenApiDocuments

  If enabled, access to the list of uploaded documents now requires permissions. Additionally, the backend requires the following property to be set in application.yml: valtimo.authorization.zgwDocuments.enabled

Backend

In backend, feature toggles can be configured in the application.yml file.

• valtimo.includeDocumentContentInResponse

  If enabled, returns the content of the document when this is retrieved via the REST endpoint. This should only be used for debug purposes, normally content is retrieved through tabs and their widgets.
