Auto Frame Creation for Workday (Limited Release)

Apty’s Auto Frame Creation takes the complexity out of content management by automatically detecting and creating frames for key page elements in your Workday application. While traditional methods like label comparison, custom scripts, and URI hashes are still available for those who prefer more customization, Auto Frame Creation offers an easy, automated alternative that reduces the need for manual anchor selection.

  • Availability: Auto Frame Feature is currently available for Workday only as part of a limited release.  As we continue to collect feedback following this limited release, we will begin planning for Auto Frames to be rolled out on additional applications toward mid-2025.

  • Content creators need to be on version 4.25 of the Studio and Client to use the AutoFrame feature, as it is not supported on previous versions.

Key Benefits:

    • Eliminates the need for manual frame creation.

    • Ensures better handling of UI changes in host applications.

    • Provides more stable frame connectivity and content delivery.

Workflow Enhancements: Custom Wait Time & Jump Step Timer

Configurable Workflow Failure Wait Time: Users can now adjust the workflow error wait time based on application performance. The default of 15 seconds can be modified in the Application Settings under the Advanced Panel to prevent premature error pop-ups for slower applications.
