Released May 2024

This is the first generally available release of Instabase 24.04.

Document-based review, introduced in public preview in 24.01, is now generally available. This release adds service-level agreements (SLAs) that specify how long reviews can take from the start of a flow job. SLAs must be configured from the Solution Dashboard by an Instabase admin or the owner of the deployed solution.

To help review teams meet SLA targets, review time remaining for each document is shown on the Flow Review Documents tab. Queue managers and Instabase admins can modify time remaining for individual documents.

Contents

You can now include multiple apply classifier steps in flows. For example, you can use a first split classifier step to classify documents into general types, like identity documents and tax forms. Then, you can use a second split classifier step to subdivide these general types into more specific types, like passports and driver’s licenses.
You can now visualize the progress of your flows on a file-by-file basis. Click into a file in your flow, and you can see any long-running steps that delay flow completion.
You can now upload .ppt and .pptx files into ML Studio annotation sets so that you can use them for model training.

Contents

In projects with only one class, annotation status changed to in progress when the class was auto-assigned, even if no other annotations were applied. With this release, annotation is considered in progress only after field annotations are applied.
Annotations were not carried over when importing an annotation set via files into Solution Builder, or exporting an ML Studio dataset in the same environment. The most up-to-date annotations are now carried over.

In apply classifier steps, if the option to split multipage PDFs and TIFs was enabled but the flow included other file types, or single-page PDFs or TIFs, the flow failed.
When resuming a flow during human review, it erroneously retried step errors.

In UDF validations, the CLIENT object wasn’t retrieved correctly in some circumstances, causing validations to fail.
Cross-document validations weren’t configurable if any class had a space in its name.

Postgres 11 is deprecated in 24.04, as it is no longer receiving updates or support. Support for Postgres 11 is scheduled for removal in 24.07. Migrate to Postgres 12 or later.

Workload autoscaling was introduced as a public preview feature in release 23.07 and remains in public preview. As a public preview feature, workload autoscaling is disabled by default. Workload autoscaling has several infrastructure requirements. For instructions on enabling workload autoscaling during your upgrade, see the workload autoscaling feature documentation.
