Collabora Online 24.04.5.3
Released on 29 July 2024
Features
- Form Filling API: This new automated feature for admins makes form filling hassle-free. Admins can easily fill and store data from forms without having to manually process the files. The API offers two main functionalities:
- 1. Extract data from a Form
- Reads and extracts user input from a form so that admins can use it as necessary.
- 2. Fill data in a Form
- Fills in the form with stored data.
- This feature provides an interface between the integrating environment and Collabora Online, it is up to the integration to implement a use case relying on the form filling API. For better understanding please check the SDK.
