The Author and Document Type automatically default based on the member uploading the document.

Dragging and dropping folders is not supported. ZIP files do not expand when you upload them using this method. You must use the Upload button to upload ZIP files.

1. Navigate to the Documents tab.

   If no folder is selected the prompt Select a folder with upload permissions displays in the drop area.

2. Select a folder where you have upload permissions.

3. Drag the files from your computer to the documents area.

   If no files are currently uploaded to the folder, the drop area displays Drop files here to upload.

   A status message displays indicating whether the upload was successful.

   Folders that contain files do not display the Drop files here to upload prompt, however you can still drop files into the drop area of a folder that contains files.

   If you drag a file with the same name as an existing one in that folder, the system uploads it as a new revision of that file. Right-click the file then select View Revision History to display the list of revisions for that file.

Microsoft Azure migration

Lucernex is transitioning from the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Microsoft Azure. Review the Microsoft Azure Migration FAQ.

Inactive Session Timeout

LUC-14629

As a result of the Microsoft Azure Migration, the maximum inactive session timeout is changed from 120 minutes to 100 minutes.

List Layouts

LUC-14611

JavaScript fields you add in list layouts now correctly calculate their value based on dependencies, even when the dependent fields are set to read-only. Calculated fields now update when changes are made to the dependent fields, regardless of their read-only status.

To use JavaScript to set the value of a field when ReadOnly in Edit Form is selected for that field, you must add the entity prefix NameOf EntityEntity_ to the field. For example, if you are setting the Facility ID field in a project add ProjectEntity_.

1. In the System Administrator Dashboard, click Manage Page Layouts > Manage List Layouts.

2. Click build layout in the layout you want to change.

3. Click the three dots in the field you want to change.

4. Select Read Only in Edit Form to make the field read only.

5. Click Value Javascript to enter JavaScript to set the value of the field.

   25.6_list_layout2.pngPNG image will display here

   

6. Add the NameOf EntityEntity_ prefix.

   For example, if the JavaScript was:

   Copy

   Original JavaScript that sets the field value

   var valueToSet = "";
   var facilityID = "${Facility.ClientEntityID}";
   var spaceID = "${Space.ClientNumber}";
   
   
   valueToSet = facilityID + " " + spaceID;

   Change it to:

   Copy

   Updated JavaScript that sets the field value

   var valueToSet = "";
   var facilityID = "${ProjectEntity_Facility.ClientEntityID}";
   var spaceID = "${Space.ClientNumber}";
   
   
   valueToSet = facilityID + " " + spaceID;

7. Click Save > Set Options > Save Layout > Close.

Accrual Info Printable View

LUC-14509

When you change the month and year on the Percentage Rent Accruals page and refresh that page, then click Printable View in the Actions pane, the window that displays now shows the month and year that you selected.

For example:

1. Navigate to Contract > Accrual Info > Percentage Rent Accruals.

2. In Accrual Schedule Details, select a different month or year

3. Click Refresh.

4. Click Printable view in the Actions pane in the rightmost side of the page.

Secure File Transfer Protocols (SFTP)

LUC-13698

As part of our Lucernex security enhancements, we are changing the SFTP protocols that Lucernex uses for file transfers.

In previous releases, we advised that from the end of February 2025, Lucernex only supports the protocols that follow. In this release, the backwards compatibility is removed.

If your organization has not done so already, we recommend that you work with your internal IT department to update your systems and once the updates are complete, contact Accruent Support to enable the protocols in Lucernex.

• SFTP (versions 0-6): SSHD supports all SFTP protocol versions from 0 to 6, providing more features, such as extended file attributes, better error handling, and improved file management operations.

Ciphers in Apache Mina SSHD

• AES (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit): Symmetric encryption.
• Blowfish: Supported, though less commonly used today.
• Triple DES (3DES): Less secure.
• ChaCha20/Poly1305: Modern and secure.
• ECDSA/ECDH: Enables faster key exchange and authentication.
• RSA (up to 4096-bit): Supported for key exchange and authentication.
• Curve25519: Provides a modern and faster elliptic curve algorithm for key exchange.

Message Authentication Codes (MACS)

• HMAC-SHA1
• HMAC-SHA256: More secure than SHA1.
• HMAC-SHA512: Supported for even higher security.
• HMAC-MD5: Supported, but considered insecure and generally avoided in modern deployments.

Compression

• zlib: Supported with more flexible configurations.

• none: If compression is not required, it can be disabled to improve performance.

Improvements and issues fixed

Component	Summary	Reference # / Case
User Interface Labels	Labels containing plural with parentheses such as (s) and (es) are updated with Microsoft's standard for (s), (es).	LUC-13879
Dashboard report	If you click Save As while editing a dashboard report, then select a folder, the error message now correctly indicates that you cannot save a dashboard report with a folder selected and states how to proceed.	LUC-11989 01526565
Page Layouts	When you select Side by Side, separate cell in the Edit Field window of a page layout, the field now displays correctly on the page without duplication.	LUC-15193
Upload Templates	When you import budget line items on a Work Flow using an import template, performance of the upload is improved. For example: Navigate to Capital Project > Work Flow. Click Add Workflow. Select Workflow Kickoff Form then click OK. The available forms and options that display on them depend on the options configured in your system. Click Upload Data in the Workflow kickoff form that opens. Click Choose File, select the file you are importing then click Open. Click Upload. The data import completes in a much improved time.	LUC-14730 01690521 01689180
Import	When you create a new entity by importing a spreadsheet template and that template contains entity types with incorrect case, the import now fails. This ensures the integrity of data in your system by preventing the upload of erroneous data. For example, if you import a file with type opening Project when Opening Project is expected, the import fails.	LUC-14231 01679174 01677136
Contract Key Dates	Contract Key Date fields now calculate correctly when there are multiple date fields on the page layout.	LUC-11015
Reports	When viewing pages of the Saved Reports List, the list now displays the correct number of reports when you search for reports and page through the results.	LUC-13526 01642740 01645396 01636321
Bidding	When a bidder enters values but has not yet submitted them, the values are no longer visible to the Bid Package Manager even if the bid package is closed.	LUC-15552
Prototype	The Copy files from Prototype option is now available when you create a Capital Project from a Facility. For example: Navigate to Prototype > Details > Summary, then click Add Prototype in the Actions menu on the rightmost side of the page. Navigate to and complete the Prototype Setup Wizard. Make a note of the Portfolio you select. Navigate to Facility > Details > Summary then click Add Capital Project in the Actions menu on the rightmost side of the page. In the Capital Project Setup Wizard that opens, select the Portfolio where you created the prototype and the Prototype. Complete the remaining fields and click Next. Select the Capital Project folder template. Select Copy documents from Prototype. Click Next. Select any folders you want skip and then click Next.	LUC-14107 01680883 01678444
