New Daily Standup Report template for better team tracking! 🚀📊

We’ve introduced a new template in the gallery for Daily Standup Reports, designed to enhance team status tracking. This template organizes your team’s progress by displaying issues assigned to each member in To-Do, Doing, and Done categories. For each issue, the report shows the issue key and summary, providing a concise snapshot of the team’s workload and progress during a sprint.

This feature helps you easily monitor tasks and manage team performance more effectively. The layout is clean and sequential, ensuring that all essential information is accessible at a glance, making your daily standups more efficient.

Customize ARNR Calendar titles and see project legends! 🗓️✨

You can now customize the title of your ARNR Calendar gadget for better organization on your dashboards. A new "Name" field has been added, allowing you to set a unique title that reflects the specific projects within the gadget.

Additionally, we've added project legends directly on the calendar. The project key will now appear on each release strip, making it easy to identify which project corresponds to which color. These updates improve usability across all dashboard layouts.

Enhanced bar chart customization with series colors, titles, and labels 🎨📊

This update enhances user control over bar chart presentation by introducing several customization options:

  1. Improved Customization: Users can now adjust series colors, titles, label positions, and grid lines to better match their data visualization needs and aesthetic preferences.

  2. Dynamic Chart Titles: Users can include or exclude a chart title dynamically, providing flexibility in how charts are presented and making reports more informative and aligned with the content.

  3. Enhanced Clarity: Options for customizing X-axis and Y-axis titles and label formats improve the readability and relevance of the chart, making it easier for users to interpret data at a glance.

  4. Consistent Appearance: Existing charts maintain their current look unless explicitly updated, ensuring that past reports remain unchanged unless users decide to modify them.

Custom variable defaults now apply for automated triggers 🔄

Default values for custom variables are now applied when templates are triggered via automated rules. This update ensures that automated triggers (e.g., version release, scheduled at interval, etc.) use the default values for custom variables, aligning with manual trigger behavior. If a default value is empty, no value will be used.

Webhook enhancements now support POST requests and secure URL updates! 🔒

The ‘Webhook’ trigger just got better with these changes!

  • Support for POST requests: Now, rule webhooks support POST requests, letting you add version, sprint, or custom variables within the request body. You can also view and copy the variable list in JSON format.

  • Variable query parameters: GET requests still work, with variables dynamically added to the URL as query parameters.

  • Ability to update webhook URL: Now, you can update the 'webhook' of a rule anytime with the 'Regenerate URL' action. Just click it to get a new, secure URL. Remember, once you regenerate, the old URL won't work anymore.

  • Enhanced security: The new webhook URLs that get generated for a rule have enhanced security.

Fixed multiline fields in Slack templates for plain text. 🛠️

Fixed: Adding multiline fields in JQL section in Slack templates. Works great with plain text now, but rich text elements might not display perfectly due to Slack’s message builder limitations.

AR-601

Direct JQL section edits without navigating main template code. ✨

The enhancement of editing capabilities for JQL section elements, such as the source code of sequential layout, title, description, table properties, and color picker for font colors, has been achieved. Previously, these features were inaccessible due to opening in a pop-up over the JQL section's own pop-up. Users were constrained to customize these settings by delving into the main template's source code, a challenging task for the average user. Now, users can directly customize these elements without the need to navigate through the main template's source code.
