While we have released over 40 iterations of the cloud version of UpRaise, we had failed to document the elaborate release notes at a singular place. From this release on, our endeavor will be to post all the important information surrounding the release version here.

New features

  • OKR Hierarchy View - One of the highly requested features in UpRaise. The hierarchical view for OKRs is now released in Beta. We are gathering more feedback on the server version for this view & will continue to improve the cloud version in line.

  • Weightage Update - The ability to update the weightage for KR was missing from the list view. Now that is corrected.

  • Main Menu Verbiage Update - The main menu is now updated to reflect appropriate verbiage. 

Bugs

  • Metric progress bug fix - When a metric type of key result started with 0 (starting value as 0) the system wasn't calculating progress irrespective of the current value. The formula for calculation has been corrected.

  • UpRaise Admin in Performance review - Earlier UpRaise Admin in the performance review form template was turning non-editable once closed. That condition has been removed & now that the user can be edited at any time.

Bugs

  • My OKRs - There were some rough edges around how the query behaved. When the logged-in user didn't own any KR, the results would be returned empty. This is now fixed & data is returned properly.

  • Objective Sharing - By default, the objective was being shared with its owner. This is now corrected so that objective is not shared with the owner unless intended.

  • Hierarchy View Metric KR progress - When the starting value of a metric KR is 0, its progress wasn't updated specifically in the hierarchy view. That bug is now crushed.

New features

  • OKR Charts on My Dashboard - My Dashboard page is now enhanced to provide insights into 'My OKR' section. This section displays stats about Own as well as Contributing OKRs.

  • Ability to Delete a Distributed Form - Up until now, the system only allowed deletion of forms that were yet to be distributed. From now on, all forms - including distributed ones can be deleted. Do keep in mind that all associated distributions will also be deleted along with the form.

  • Insight View CSV Export - One can now export the visible data from insight view screen. This should help power users to manipulate & filter data within an excel sheet.

  • JIRA Issue as KR Owner -  Assignee of the JIRA issue did not appear as KR owner, until now. In this release, system automatically listens to any changes in the JIRA issue assignee.

Bugs

  • Feedback on Issue Detail - Continuous feedback if edited used to disappear from issue detail page, that bug is now quashed.

New features

  • Ability to Restrict Company & Team OKR Visibility - Company & Team OKRs were forced to be public (visible to all UpRaise users) until now. With this release, one can restrict this visibility just like individual OKRs - by using Shared with attribute.

Bugs

  • Sorting of Objectives on Listing Pages - Fixed a sorting issue to make sure OKRs are listed according to their status. If available on the screen, following sequence will be used - (In Progress, Ready, Ready For Grading, Scheduled, Closed, Abandoned)

  • Team Hierarchy Issue - For some of the customers, Team Hierarchy wasn't loading because the 'Root' node wasn't inserted. This upgrade quashes this bug.

  • JIRA Issue Search Failures - Some edge cases were responding erroneously when searching JIRA issue to turn it into a key result. That is now resolved.

  • Other minor fixes.
