NOTE: In versions prior to 2023.1, this product was known as TCS for Windows.

August 2024

Version 5.0

August 2, 2024

New Features
  • Added a Preview bar on the Classification Selector dialog so you can see a summary of your Classification selections. You can enable or disable this bar using Policy Manager or using registry keys if you are using the DCS Administration Console.

  • Added a Classification Information bar at the bottom of email messages and Microsoft documents and files so users can see a summary of selected Classifications and other schema field values (except for date and time). You can enable or disable this bar using Policy Manager or using registry keys if you are using the DCS Administration Console.

  • NOTE: The Classification Information bar is visible in DCS for Outlook and DCS for Office only.
  • Added support for Date fields in the Classification Selector dialog from a Policy Manager configuration

Enhancements
  • Updated the existing Set Document Server Properties action to allow the user to set managed metadata properties to a document saved in Microsoft SharePoint. This allows users to select values from a predefined term set or enter keywords that are not in the term set. This column type can help control how users add metadata to content and implement business taxonomies. To create a managed metadata column, users can either map it to an existing term set at the site level or the list or library level. See the Microsoft documentation for more information. See Fortra's Data Classification Suite for Windows Policy Authoring Guide for more information on the Set Document Server Properties action.

  • Enhanced the Filter control in the Classification Selector dialog to allow a user to easily find a value from a schema field when the field contains hundreds of values. The new Filter control now includes matching against description and tooltip text.

    NOTE: This is available if you generated your configuration using Policy Manager only.
  • Added support for Subject labeling for all Meeting and Meeting response items

  • Added support for Microsoft SQL Server 2022 and Microsoft SQL Server Express 2022 for the DCS Administration Console

  • Added shortcut keys to perform actions in the Favorites dialog

  • The Favorites dialog is now located under the Settings or Options icon in the Classification Selector dialog

Fixes
  • When applying a watermark to a document that contained several sections, the watermark image was duplicated for each section.

  • If the HTML definition for a header or footer contained a table with a border, the border was not updated correctly when the label was changed or removed.

  • Conditions that reference a built-in document property, that are assigned to a documents 'OnOpen' event, will no longer cause a 'Save Changes' prompt when the document is closed and no other changes are made to the document.

  • In Microsoft Word, a Task Pane Alert would fail to display when opening a document. This occurred in Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 MSO environments.

  • Corrected the behavior of meeting and appointments so that the "New Message is started" event is processed as expected. A New item is any item which is in a state of composition.

  • When repeatedly replying to the same message thread, the metadata was not always persisted onto the reply.

  • When responding to meeting requests, the response item was submitted with the wrong classification if the user changed the classification of the response.

  • Duplicate copies of the same attachment are no longer generated when using the Classify Attachment feature from within a meeting request.

  • Portion marking now correctly applies the portion mark when there is no message body. The position of the cursor is important when applying a Portion Mark.

  • TCS for Windows 2022.0 and 2023.0 had sizing issues of One-Click buttons in the Classification Selector dialog. The buttons are now sized to the content in DCS for Windows 5.0.

  • Issue related to DPI scaling across multiple monitors with regards to the Classification Selector dialog. Classification dialog did not work with high DPI scaling when using monitors with different DPI and/or resolution which resulted in the UI being displayed off screen.

  • The Classification Selector dialog is now available on the first Resend action.

    NOTE: This fix applies only to resends of messages sent with the fix; resends of old messages will not have the Classification Selector dialog available on the first resend.
  • When using a Right to Left language, the configured font in a visual marking was not retained when working with Microsoft PowerPoint.

  • While Schema Justification is enabled, when applying metadata to multiple files, DCS for Desktop now writes Event 3001 to Audit and Windows Event loggers.

  • The One-Click button layout now reflects the layout as defined in the configuration for the Schema Field. This occurred in TCS for Windows 2023.1.

  • Corrected layout of One-Click buttons when they are linked to a conditional parent field when displayed in the Classification Selector dialog. This occurred in TCS for Windows 2023.1.

  • DCS for Outlook no longer causes Microsoft Outlook to opaquely sign messages when Outlook is configured to digitally sign using clear text.

  • When DCS for Office was configured to only show the One-Click ribbon group, the DCS for Windows About Box was unavailable.

  • When selecting multiple files that have not yet been classified, the empty fields show a "Conflicting field values" warning. This occurred on DCS for Desktop.

  • If the Schema Field in a View contained more than one value with the same Display Text, conditionality logic failed which resulted in incorrect metadata being written to the document or email.

  • Accessibility issue occurred in the Classification Selector dialog when selecting values on a One-Click button using the keyboard. This resulted in the focus being on the wrong control.

  • Fixed text wrapping issue when adding Header/Footer to PowerPoint and setting the Slides and Pages option to First slide only.
