Newforma Project Center Enterprise API - Install/Update

The Newforma Project Center Enterprise API (N-API) is required for Newforma Connectors such as Procore and BST. If N-API was installed with Newforma Project Center 12.2.x, it will automatically update however, installing this software package ahead of the update will ensure Newforma Connectors work immediately.

Step 5: Update Newforma Project Center Clients

NOTE: The Newforma Project Center client on ALL user systems must be upgraded to version 12.3.0.15819 after upgrading the Newforma Project Center Server. This is due to changes made in how text is stored for activity centers such as Meeting Minutes, Submittals and RFIs. Failure to upgrade the client will may cause text formatting to be lost.

Last minute update!

A new delighter in 12.3 is the addition of the Company Logo in the Email Notification Template. An issue was discovered with Mac clients viewing the email notification where the logo overlapped some text. While it didn’t make the release cut, we feel you would get value from the new template. After 12.3 is installed, drop the GenericNotification.docx template into the C:NewformaTemplatesTwelfth EditionGenericNotification directory. If you don't update the Generic Notification template, you will still receive the new look and feel, it just won't have the Company logo at the top. We will include this new template version in our next NPC Enterprise Suite release.

Congratulations! You made it through the update!
