August has been a busy month for ActionableAgile™ Analytics, with exciting updates and enhancements designed to improve your user experience. From streamlined data loading processes to critical bug fixes and new control features, here's a rundown of what's new this month.
Enhanced data file loading experience
Starting this week, we’re rolling out a significant upgrade to the process of loading external data files across all versions of ActionableAgile™ Analytics. The improvements address longstanding challenges, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive experience.
Why the Update? Our previous data loading system was often restrictive, leading to frustration as users encountered unclear error messages and cumbersome formatting requirements. To resolve these issues, we’ve implemented the following key enhancements:
Simplified File Formatting: We’ve integrated direct links to file format requirements right in the loader, and added a download button for the template—eliminating the need to go to the documentation.
Smart Column Mapping: Users can now map file columns to specific types such as ID, Title, or Workflow Stage. While the system is designed to map certain column types, you have the flexibility to override our guesses.
Date Format Detection: We now show the detected date format (e.g., MM/DD vs. DD/MM), allowing you to verify and adjust as needed, resolving a common pain point for users.
Comprehensive File Analysis: After mapping, we analyze the entire file and identify any cleanup actions needed. Users can correct these for future uploads or proceed with loading the file as is. If there are rows with errors, we display the details and allow users to export the list, noting that any problematic rows will be removed if they continue.
These enhancements are designed to make your data loading process more seamless, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your analysis.
Key Bug Fixes to the Beta Process Behavior Chart
Starting this week, we're rolling out key bug fixes to the Beta Process Behaviour Chart across all versions to improve readability in dark mode and correct inaccuracies in tooltip data.
Saved Data Sets for Azure: Major Update
Work on Saved Data Sets for Azure is progressing well, with the goal of eliminating the need to recreate data set configurations. Stay tuned here or subscribe to our newsletter for beta release updates.
Global Date Range Control
To view a segment of your data set, you currently need to apply date range changes to each chart individually. With the new global date range control, you can set the date range in one place and apply it across your entire data set at once. This feature is next and on its way. Stay tuned for more updates.
Additional Display options for stalled or blocked items
Our current dimming feature is designed to highlight non-stalled or non-blocked items but lacks support for users who need to see all items while distinguishing between them. The upcoming feature will offer new options for displaying stalled and blocked items in charts, supporting more use cases.
Penetration testing underway for ActionableAgile™ Analytics for Jira Cloud
