In December 2025, Formpipe Software AB completed the “carve out” of its public sector products and operations, which included the Formpipe company name and brand. As a result, the company will formally change its name to Lasernet Group in 2026. Our focus is now solely on the Lasernet platform. As part of this process, we are rebranding our current Lasernet platform software. Lasernet Core 11.1 includes some key aspects of this rebranding. #### Installers Software installers have been rebranded. ![The Welcome page of the Lasernet server installer.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/lasernet server installer.png) #### Installation and Data Directories By default, Lasernet Core now uses directories that contain the Lasernet name: - `C:\Program Files\Lasernet` - `C:\ProgramData\Lasernet` - `C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Lasernet` - `C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lasernet` #### The Connect to Lasernet / Start Window and the Manage Administration Tool for Lasernet Core The **Connect to Lasernet** / **Start** window and the Manage administration tool for Lasernet Core are now Lasernet branded. ![The Start page for Lasernet Developer.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/start page(1).png) ![Screenshot of the Manage homepage.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/manage.png) #### Splash Screens and About Boxes Application splash screens and **About** boxes are now Lasernet branded. ![The About box for Lasernet Developer 11.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/about box 2.png) ### Specify Chart Colors in Data This feature enables values in the input data to control the color of chart items (such as pie chart segments). Unlike index-based color assignment, which assigns colors to chart items based on the order of items in the input data, data-driven color assignment guarantees consistency of color assignment between output documents. If the incoming data consists of discrete line items that include color data, Lasernet Core can apply the specified color to each line item’s chart bar or segment. Each line item can specify its own color value (for example, as a `<color>` element in the XML). Supported formats are SVG color names and hexadecimal RGB formats. For more information, see *EMF-Based Output* > *Color Assignment Based on Input Data* in [Add Charts to a Sheet](/v1/docs/add-charts-to-a-sheet). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/chart%20color%20series.png) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/use%20chart%20colors(1).png) ### Manage User Interface Improvements The Manage user interface has been enhanced to increase ease of use. #### Menu Navigation Structure and Page Structure To increase usability, the menu navigation structure and the page structure in the Manage administration tool has been simplified. The application menu is easier to navigate, and each area of the application now has its own page instead of a tab on a shared page. For example, the **Users**, **Groups**, and **Security Roles** pages are now all directly accessible from the **User Management** menu. Also, **Users** and **Groups** are now distinct pages in Manage. ![The User Management menu and All Users page in Manage.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/users page.png) #### Colors and Icons on the Logs page Colored highlights and icons have been added to the **Logs** page to make Lasernet environment log data easier to read. ![The Logs page of Manage.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/logs page(1).png) #### Other Improvements The quick search bar is now in the header bar. ![The quick search bar in Manage.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/quick search bar.png) Action buttons are now provided under the document preview in the **Job Details** pane. ![A red rectangle indicates the new position of buttons in the Job Details pane.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/buttons under document preview(1).png)
