November 2025 Release Hotfix 2
With Hotfix 2 for the November 2025 release, we are providing you with a revised update that replaces the previously released Hotfix 1.
Hotfix 1 was removed from the Customer Center several weeks ago as a precautionary measure to avoid any potential impact on you. In addition to the revised adjustments from Hotfix 1, the now-available Hotfix 2 includes further bug fixes and minor improvements that we have implemented based on our internal testing and feedback received.
To further improve the quality of the release, the testing procedure for releases has been enhanced and expanded with the goal of providing you with a reliable update.
For the sake of transparency, we have continued to document all changes from the original Hotfix 1 in this change log. These entries are marked with the note “(Hotfix 1)” and can thus be clearly distinguished from the new adjustments.
Hotfix 2 is particularly relevant for you if you:
use eTASK.Payment Transactions and require current adjustments regarding distributed signatures
use eTASK.SmartReservation and have recently encountered restrictions when making reservations via Outlook
use the substitute function in eTASK.Desk-Sharing

If this is also not available, no different room or outdoor area can be selected. In order for an outdoor area to be selected, it must have the “belongs to building” field populated.
eTASK.Room Reservation
Bug fix: Display of location data in room overview corrected
(Customer reference: INC000007074526)

Bug Fix: Resubmission After Contract Extension (Hotfix 1)
An unintended change occurred with the modification to the date calculation for contracts. When a contract was extended, a follow-up date was automatically set 14 days before the end of the notice period. This overrode existing entries for the follow-up. The function now no longer sets a follow-up date, as intended. Are you familiar with contract events? These offer a follow-up function with history and documentation.

An error has been fixed that prevented forms with a Checkbox Connect, e.g., the personnel form, from opening.

(Customer reference: )

Improvement: Work carried out to improve loading times
(Customer reference: )
Various improvements have been made to speed up the loading of forms and filtering in lists.
Improvement: Workflow deployment (Hotfix 1)

Thank you very much for this simple and effective suggestion!
eTASK.Inventory
Improvement: eTASK.Inventory app improved
(Customer reference: )
