What's new and changed in OpenPages

IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 5.4.0

A new version of OpenPages was released in June 2026.

This release includes the following changes:

New features

This release of OpenPages includes the following features:

Use watsonx.ai for translation services on OpenPages on IBM® Software Hub

You can now use watsonx.ai as a translator type for translation services on OpenPages on IBM Software Hub.

Create and manage Network Policies with the optional Role-Based Access Control

You can now use optional Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Network Policies in non-OLM (Helm-based) deployments. This feature gives administrators control over whether the operator can create and manage Network Policy resources. By default, Network Policies are enabled (enableNetworkpolicies: true).

The operator's RBAC roles should only have read permissions for Network Policies, such as get, list, and watch.

Add favorite canvases to your dashboard

You can now mark canvases as favorites and display them in a new dashboard panel called Favorite Canvases. You can add favorite canvases in the user and admin dashboards for easier access and enhance productivity.

For more information, see Adding a Favorite Canvases panel.

Preview attachments in OpenPages

You can now view PDF, text, and image files directly in OpenPages without downloading them. Files are rendered in an OpenPages tab to ensure content is no longer accessible when the session expires.

The preview feature improves document accessibility and security by allowing users to preview attachments without leaving the OpenPages interface or downloading files to their local system.

For more information, see Adding and managing all files (attachments).

View object date fields in user's time zone

Date fields are now displayed in the user's time zone. Unlike timestamp fields, date fields follow the system date time zone support and ensures consistent date display across the application.

For more information on date fields, see Understanding system and non‑system date fields

For more information on configuring the setting, see Time zone conversion for non‑system date fields.

Access an embedded watsonx™ Orchestrate chat within OpenPages

You can now access an embedded watsonx Orchestrate chat within OpenPages. Without leaving the platform, you can quickly interact with AI agents, which can use tools from the OpenPages MCP server and other MCP servers.

Create more complex assessment flows with six levels of dependent questions

Questionnaire templates now accommodate up to six levels of dependent questions, increased from the previous three-level limit. You can create more complex assessment flows with deeper question hierarchies.

Schedule move and rename jobs

You can now schedule entity and non-entity move jobs for a custom date and time. When you schedule these jobs, you have more flexibility, especially when you move or rename large data sets or when you need to start a job instantly.

For more information, see Scheduling move and rename jobs.
