X4 Produktdokumentation

Release Highlights 7.5.0

With X4 BPMS 7.5.0, we set a new standard for modern, powerful, and intuitive digitization platforms. The release brings strategic advancements that give businesses more freedom, speed, and future security – while elevating the user experience to a new level.

OpenID Connect (OIDC)

Decoupling & maximum flexibility

With release 7.5.0, the X4 BPMS was completely detached from the previous Keycloak instance and connected to the open OIDC standard. With full support for OpenID Connect, you can flexibly connect the platform to your preferred OIDC-compliant identity provider. (E.g. Azure AD/Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, own Keycloainstance). This increases security, maintainability and reduces dependencies.

Your benefits:

  • Flexible choice of an OIDC-compliant identity provider

  • Use multifactor authentication

  • Independent updates

  • Central role management in the identity provider

  • Modernized authorization code flow

Data Objects

Structured, persistent business data

With the new Data Objects, X4 BPMS is evolving from a process-centric platform to a data-oriented platform. Business data can now be structured and permanently stored in the (previously) configured database. This creates a stable, data-focused basis for modern applications.

Your benefits:

  • Clear data structures

  • Persistent filing

  • Granular updates via XPath

  • Easy integration with Web Apps and human tasks

  • New Persistence Adapter for CRUD operations in the process

Forms Editor

Form creation made easy

The new WYSIWYG graphical Forms Editor enables the creation of Web App forms in a purely visual manner for the first time. Business users create forms themselves using drag-and-drop – without XML knowledge or technical hurdles. This results in significantly less coordination effort and shorter implementation times.

Your benefits:

  • Drag-and-drop design

  • Automatic responsive layouts

  • Facilitated collaboration between department and IT

Forms Editor

Integration of Web Apps with human tasks

Configurable instead of programmatic

Web Apps can now be linked directly as Form Components in human tasks – without additional code.

Your benefits:

  • Automatic URL generation with task context

  • Flexible interchangeability of UI components

  • Consistent and modern user interfaces in task workflows


Web App Refactoring

Performance, architecture & API harmonization

The internal architecture of the Web Apps has been extensively modernized. Backend and frontend APIs have been harmonized, inefficient render paths optimized, and strict typing introduced.

Your benefits:

  • Significantly better UI performance (Angular Pipes)

  • More robust component architecture

  • Fewer sources of error

  • Simplified maintenance

  • Future-proof code base
