New ISIDOR Versions 26.6 and 26.10

With the release of ISIDOR 26.6 and ISIDOR 26.10, our users now have access to numerous new features, enhancements, and improvements.

The version numbers will also follow a new logic going forward: they directly indicate the planned release period. For example, 26.6 stands for the year 2026 and the month of June, and 26.10 stands for October 2026.

What’s New?

The “Target-Actual” position plan introduced with ISIDOR 8.3 has been further developed.

For example, positions can now be assigned a status. This allows notes such as “kw,” “ku,” or “locked” to be added directly to a position.

In addition, the immediate predecessor and successor positions can be recorded for each position. This makes it clear which position a new position originated from or into which it will be merged. In the case of mergers, new formations, and reorganizations, these relationships can be established automatically.

A new module allows tasks within an organization to be managed systematically. Tasks can be assigned to various organizational objects. Based on this, business distribution plans can be mapped and analyzed in ISIDOR. This makes it possible to document responsibilities and organizational tasks more clearly.

The feature is initially available to select customers.

Project management in ISIDOR has also been expanded. Projects can now be assigned a status. In addition, they can be linked to institutions and schools.

Contact persons can be entered directly in the project—including their position, title, first name, and last name. It is not necessary to create a separate person record for this.

For occupational health screenings, subsidies related to the examinations can now also be recorded and analyzed.

Another new feature is the ability to document occupational safety and health inspections for territorial units, administrative units, and facilities. Among other things, information on the number of employees, the responsible workers’ compensation association, those responsible for occupational safety, and hazardous substances used can be recorded.

The user import now also supports the fields “Pay Scale Group,” “Pay Scale Level,” and “Next Pay Scale Increase.” This information can be imported from a connected payroll system and then analyzed in ISIDOR.

A home address can also be stored for users as a visitor address. The data can be analyzed in tabular views and imported from third-party systems. Another new feature allows for the complete anonymization of a personnel record.

Several features have been added for schools. School district assignments can now include a start and end date, making it easy to track the duration of an assignment. In addition, address templates can be expanded to include information about the school administration.

In the Religious Education module, the total number of teaching hours for all teachers currently assigned to a school can be calculated on a daily basis. Furthermore, a single person can be assigned to multiple church-affiliated school districts.

With the new versions, additional information for filters, columns, and reports is available in several places.

Among other things, this allows you to:

• display and analyze the legal entity number of the assigned object for committees,
• use new filters for committees, offices, and individuals,
• the legal form of orders can be systematically recorded,
• and objects in various modules can be specifically shown or hidden using the new“Active”field.

In the Notes and Follow-ups module, the new “Creator” and “Editor” fields show who created a note and who is editing it. This makes it easier to track responsibilities and assign notes specifically for editing and follow-up.

With the ISIDOR print processor, you can add additional options to custom-generated reports. New fields such as “Category,” “Expert Category,” and “Special Qualifications” are available for the “List of Persons” print processor.

In addition, there is a new print engine variant for overviews of ordination and consecration dates and consecration anniversaries, featuring new configuration options, new fields, and an additional template.

New module imports expand the options for transferring data from other areas into ISIDOR. They support the import of territories, committees, and associations. The front-end implementation is currently still in preview status.

The new“DMS-ID”field is also available for institutions, curias/administrations, and territories/church districts. It can be used for data transfer to third-party programs. This feature is intended for Protestant customers.

Detailed information on availability and worship service times for pastoral units can be synchronized or imported into the corresponding free-text field.

This allows this information to be used in ISIDOR MOBILE as well.

The data model has also become more flexible when it comes to representing buildings: A single building can now be assigned to multiple parcels of land. This makes it easier to document more complex real-world land and building situations in ISIDOR.

In addition to these highlights, ISIDOR 26.6 and 26.10 include numerous other improvements and bug fixes that help us further simplify day-to-day work with ISIDOR and continuously enhance the application.

Ask your IT and data maintenance team about the new features, or use the feedback system in your ISIDOR application directly if you have any questions or suggestions.

We hope you enjoy discovering the new features!
