This is one of the most substantial releases we’ve had for some time. It includes many nice and fancy improvements throughout.
Backlog for Timeline View
Timeline View always had a backlog, but it was unusable. Today we resolved this nasty problem and added nice and cool backlog. Backlog panel shows all not done entities (based on Timeline View filter) and you can drag and drop entities from Backlog to Timeline fast and easy.
Hours on Timeline View
We’ve added Hours to Timeline View zoom level, and now you can visualize short events, like meetings or daily tasks.
Restore Space
Accidentally deleting a Space ceases to be a hair-raising experience for you and a multi-hour technical support job for us. Restore it via an undo toast, Trash, or Activity Log.
Deleting a Space on purpose has become easier as well as the intrusive confirmation modal is gone now.
Align and Distribute objects on Whiteboard
You can now easily align or distribute multiple objects. Simply select the objects and click the Align objects
button in the context menu. You have the option to align selected objects horizontally, vertically, or to the left/right in relation to each other. Additionally, you can distribute the selected objects horizontally, vertically, or in a compact layout for a more organized appearance.
Whiteboard Dark Theme
Whiteboard has a proper support of a dark theme now, so your eyes will bleed less when you are working with it.
Updated Entity View layout
We have made a few tweaks to the default Entity layout:
- limited the width of the main section to make it easier to read long texts;
- introduced an independent scroll for the right column to keep the Fields accessible even when you scroll the main section;
- moved the right column to the side to make space for wide elements in the main section
As the next step, we will allow large things (Views, images, videos, embeds) to be wider than the main section. It’s a pity to leave 75% of your Pro Display XDR beautiful inches blank
New color coding for Board, List and Calendar views
Color coding style was changed for List, Board and Calendar Views. Now the whole card changes color.
IfEmpty(…) formula function
Previously, you had to use a combination of If(…)
and IsEmpty(…)
in Formulas to organize a plan B for a potentially empty Field value:
If(IsEmpty([Potentially Empty Field]), Value, [Potentially Empty Field])
In case there were multiple Fields, only one of each was non-empty, the Formula quickly got unreadable with all those nested Ifs:
If(IsEmpty(Interview.Weight), If(IsEmpty(Chat.Weight), If(IsEmpty(Topic.Weight), Conversation.Weight,Topic].Weight), Chat.Weight), Interview.Weight)
Now with IfEmpty(…)
function that returns the first non-empty value from a list, the Formula is much more elegant:
IfEmpty(Interview.Weight, Chat.Weight, Topic.Weight, Conversation.Weight, 1.0)
Productboard integration
Fibery’s integration with Productboard allows the import of product hierarchy, user scores, and company database. This helps product managers improve feedback gathering and keep it closer to product development.
Anyway, we recommend you migrate to Fibery. Fibery is more flexible, much cheaper and more fun. Now migration is easier.
For more detailed information, please check the User Guide.
Audit Access Templates Usage
There is a new Usage
tab for Custom Access Templates that helps to decide whether it’s safe to update or delete a template.
We also give you a heads-up if updating or deleting a custom access template will affect someone’s access.
Mirrored Context Folders (experimental)
It’s been possible to mirror an individual Context View for all Entities of a Smart Folder. This has saved you time by automatically maintaining a “copy” of a View with relevant filters applied.
Now you can mirror an entire Folder with everything inside — if you have more than 5 Views to replicate across all your Products, Sprints, or Clients now there is a nice way to accomplish that.
Minor Improvements
- Empty groups in List and Table Views don’t look like Entities anymore.
- Scrollbars on Windows are less prominent now.
- Secondary dates are visible in any Timeline mode now.
