Fibery team is in Slow December mode, but we still have something to release.
Find References in text using AI (experimental)
Fibery can analyze some text and find references in it automatically using AI, so you can create References and process information better. What are use cases?
- Interviews processing. You may analyze interviews and tag relevant paragraphs.
- Product feedback processing. For example, you have feedback from Intercom or Discourse and want to link it to some Feature, Product Area or Insight.
NOTES:
- You should setup OpenAI key and enable AI Search. Then enable this feature in Settings → Experimental Lab. Find References will find only entities from Databases indexed in AI Search.
- Find References works in all entities with rich text fields, but it does not work in Documents (so far).
Custom access templates (experimental)
When sharing, for example, a Feature, you could always extend access to its Stories and Bugs. However, extending the default access (e.g. Editor
) is often either too much (includes a sensitive relation) or not enough (doesn’t go deep enough or ignores many-to-many):
- when sharing a Task, share Subtasks but not Time Logs;
- when sharing a Product, share not only Features and Marketing Campaigns, but also Stories and Tasks one level deeper;
- when sharing a Story, include
Depends On
andBlocks
many-to-many relations.
Custom access templates make all of these use cases possible:
- Create a custom access template for a given Database (e.g.
Product Manager
for a Product). - Specify how exactly the access should be extended down (or up!) the hierarchy.
- Now you can share any specific Product (e.g.
HAL-9000
orSkynet
) using this template with any person in your workspace.
Check out the custom access templates guide for more details.
As with other permissions-related features, the “experimental” status means potential UI glitches and some missing functionality for the one who creates an access template. Applying a template is production-ready, we are not crazy enough (yet?) to crowdsource security audit to beta customers .
Add many entities to Whiteboard (fast)
Now you can add many entities as cards on a whiteboard with a single action based on a filter. For example, you can add all features planned for the next release, all insights in some product area, all tasks assigned to some team.
Find Multi Entity Insert action in Whiteboard panel and try it.
It also works in My Space, so you can experiment with this in your private Whiteboard.
Update Space Page design
Database page was re-designed and there are many small changes here and there, mostly styles, but also general composition of elements. It looks more slick now.
Don’t require “= true” in Formula conditionals
Before:
If(IsEmpty(...) = true, option1, option2)
Zags.Filter(CheckBoxField = TRUE)
Now:
If(IsEmpty(...), option1, option2)
Zags.Filter(CheckBoxField)
Workspace health status in Help menu
First Slow December unexpected feature. We’ve just introduced Fibery Workspace status tracker, which you can find in the Help menu. This gives you real-time updates on the status of services in your workspace. It’s designed to help you out when you’re dealing with a lot of data and want to avoid any performance issues.
Fixed Bugs
- Table view: losing the first letter/number when you start editing a cell
- Table view: ‘Out of order’ appears even if entity is added to correct sorting position. Reproduced for adding via ‘+ New …’ at the bottom
- Table view: Failure when adding new entities if new table has 2 level hierarchy in setup and there is no entities of the 1st level
- Export workspace: files added into rich text are missing
- Redundant [Fibery] in notification email’s subject
