Release notes

What's new in Oplinqa

Oplinqa updates often, and each time it does the app on your computer tells you what changed. This is the whole list, from the beginning.

What Oplinqa can do today

Purchase requisitions

Raise a request in Thai or English with items, quantities, prices, the job it belongs to and how urgent it is. Attach quotations and photos.

Approval routes

Set the order of approvers yourself, with amount conditions — anything over ฿10,000 goes to the manager, for instance.

Send back for changes

An approver returns a request to its author with a note saying what to fix, instead of rejecting it outright.

Purchase orders

Import the PO your accounting software produced, place the signature box anywhere on the page, across several pages, and more than one order per job.

E-signatures

Sign in order. The signature is drawn into the real PDF, with the date in B.E. or A.D.

Your own document library

The actual files live in your company's own folder, organised by job and year. Nothing is locked inside somebody's system.

Alerts

A sound and a desktop notification when it is your turn, and a bell to remind whoever is holding a request up.

Copy tree

Record which department receives which paper. When the job is complete, one button tells all of them.

Two languages

Every screen is Thai and English, switchable at any time.

Works on the web too

Open it on a phone or in a browser to check status and approve. The work that touches real files happens in the desktop app.

Release history

Beta 48 Latest

  • Settings › Start with Windows. Switch it on and Oplinqa comes up quietly in the tray every time you sign in — no remembering to open it
  • One job can have several purchase orders now — two suppliers, or a second order raised later. The PO tile in the folder lists them: open one, sign one, or add another
  • That tile also says how many orders there are and how many are signed. It used to read as complete while a second order sat unsigned
  • The website has a What’s New page: every release since the beginning, and what the app can do today — oplinqa.com/en/whats-new

Beta 47

  • An approver can attach their own files from the approval screen — press Attach, or drag a file straight onto the page. No walking over to the document library first
  • Links can be attached too — a supplier’s page, a file on a drive — and open from inside the app like any other attachment
  • New “Send back for changes”. Not a rejection: it returns the request to its author as an editable draft with a note saying what to fix, and tells them straight away
  • Settings › Job No. and project name pairs them up in advance, so raising a request is picking from a list instead of remembering a code and re-typing a name
  • Project names can be corrected in Settings — click the name, type over it, press Enter

Beta 46

  • The request list names whoever is holding a request up, not just the word “pending”, with a bell beside it that reminds them without opening the request
  • A purchase order with more than one page: the signature box can now be moved to the page you are looking at, either from the button on the page or by picking the page in the signature settings
  • Fixed dragging your own signature box on page 1 quietly dragging everybody else’s box off page 2
  • The copy tree finally reaches people. Once the paperwork is complete, one button tells everyone on the tree their copy is ready — add somebody later and press it again and only the new person hears about it
  • The copy list names the person, not just the department

Beta 45

  • Oplinqa lives in the system tray. Closing the window leaves it running, so the sound and the alert when it is your turn still arrive; click the tray icon to bring it back, and quit from its right-click menu
  • Files can be dragged and dropped — onto a request's attachments, onto the purchase order import, and onto the document library
  • The supplier field offers the suppliers you have already bought from, so one supplier stops becoming four spellings
  • If the same job was created twice under different Job Nos, editing one and typing the other's number offers to merge them — requests and documents move across

Beta 44

  • Prices can be written onto a request after you have found the supplier — open the request, Items tab, “Enter prices”
  • While typing you see the new grand total, and are told in advance which extra approver this amount will need
  • If the price you enter crosses a threshold, the request goes back for that approval and the approver is notified
  • Once a purchase order exists, or the request was cancelled or rejected, the prices are locked

Beta 43

  • Fixed: a signer could not open the PO — purchase order PDFs were never pushed to shared storage, only PR attachments were. They now upload on import and on every signature
  • A computer that has never held the file fetches it automatically when the signing screen opens, instead of showing a blank page with nowhere to put a signature
  • Opening the purchase orders screen once offers up any older PO file that was never uploaded

Beta 42

  • Properly fixed: a box belonging to anyone who has not signed always reads “awaiting <name>”. Yesterday's fix missed the person whose turn was next, which made it look like they had signed
  • The project name field now offers existing projects the way Job No. does — type a name that already has a folder under a different number and it offers that folder
  • The review page before you submit says exactly who the request will go to, worked out from its own grand total, and which steps it skips because the amount does not reach them

Beta 41

  • An approval step can be given an amount — the general manager only over ฿10,000, say, with smaller requests finishing at the department head
  • A step that does not apply is skipped, so it never lands in the approval queue of someone it does not concern
  • A signer who has not had their turn now shows a dotted, faded box reading “awaiting <name>” instead of a name and a date that looked like a signature

Beta 40

  • A colleague's signature now appears on your screen by itself, instead of waiting until you did something
  • A round of signing can be called off: the signing order clears, the order and its file stay, and you can set signers up again
  • The owner can make a colleague an admin or an approver from Company members, and the list shows plainly who is what
  • Refreshing no longer repoints this computer at somebody else's company folder

Beta 39

  • “Department packets” is now “Signed-back PO” — where the copy the supplier signs and returns is filed
  • Turn it on or off in Settings. If your company does not wait for one, the slot reads “Optional” and stops showing a warning triangle
  • The completeness bar counts what your company actually asks for, so it reaches a full 3/3 instead of sitting at 3/4 forever
  • Files already in the old Packets folder still count — nothing to move

Beta 38

  • A quotation or attachment on an approved request can be removed; the dialog says first that these are what the approvers saw, instead of refusing after you confirm
  • Every delete button now asks the hard question before you press it — no more refusals arriving after the confirmation
  • A three-dot menu on each project edits its Job No. and name, moving the folder on this computer and every stored file path with it
  • Deleting a request permanently from the list works even when a purchase order is attached; the order and attachments go with it

Beta 37

  • A whole request can be deleted from the document library, taking its quotation, purchase order and attachments with it
  • A project with no requests left in it disappears from the library instead of sitting there as an empty folder
  • Writing a PR, the Job No. field offers the projects that already exist - pick one and its name fills in, so the same job stops arriving as three folders
  • Lists lead with what is being bought; the document number moves alongside the date
  • A signed purchase order can be deleted, but the dialog says first that the record of who signed goes with it - instead of refusing after you confirm

Beta 36

  • A three-dot menu on quotations and purchase orders removes them from the request; the file moves to a _deleted folder rather than being destroyed
  • A "Waiting to sign" item under purchase orders, with a count of the ones that have reached you
  • Being asked to sign now makes a sound and raises a desktop alert, the same as an approval does
  • The purchase order screen says plainly when it is your turn, and where you are in the order

Beta 35

  • The copy tree picks a person from your company rather than a department name, because a copy goes to somebody
  • Fixed the infinite recursion error when signing a purchase order

Beta 34

  • Fixed the duplicate key error when submitting a request — document numbers are now issued by the server, so they cannot collide with a request you are not allowed to see

Beta 33

  • Ordinary staff see only the requests they raised; approvers and admins see what they must act on
  • The company folder belongs to each computer - move it anywhere, point Settings at it, and your documents stay linked without changing anybody else's
  • The copy tree picks departments from the PR approval order instead of retyping them, so the two are genuinely linked
  • A newly created company starts empty instead of inheriting sample data

Beta 32

  • A cancelled request nobody approved can be restored to drafts, edited and sent again
  • The cancel dialog offers to withdraw it to draft first, which is what most people meant
  • Your own company logo on the PR form — initials from your company name until you upload one
  • Fixed the error that stopped the approval order from saving

Beta 31

  • An approval step can name several people, and whoever is free approves it
  • Approvers can leave a comment when approving, not only when rejecting
  • The first-run walkthrough no longer darkens the whole screen
  • A summary of what changed appears after each update — this one

Beta 30

  • The copy tree now lists who gets which document once a request is complete
  • A feedback tab in Settings goes straight to the person building Oplinqa

Beta 29

  • Drag the signature anywhere on a purchase order; it locks when you confirm
  • The signed PDF is your document and nothing else — no Oplinqa page appended
  • A purchase order can go to several signers in turn, each seeing the ones before
