New features

Minor bug fixes

New features

It is now possible to refresh progress percentage directly from the Objective & KR detail pages.
New ‘Alignment’ filter introduced to surface objectives that are of interest such as objectives with no alignments or objectives that only receive contribution from other objectives & so on.
Progress charts on Objective & KR details pages are now configurable. Some customers found the progress charts a little too confusing, so we have made them configurable. By default, these charts will be visible though.
Shared OKR views can now be managed by users that have the ‘Manage OKRs’ permission. This allows for decluttering of views in case they balloon up to a large number over a period of time.
App now allows you to set up reminder frequency while creating the KR.
Forms now save the responses every few seconds if the system detects any changes. This improves the experience since there were few instances when users lost their responses due to time outs.
New configuration introduced to cap max leave balance at any point in time.

New features

Flexible Calendar permissions are now available in the app
Resource availability view, our first step in the capacity management direction is included in this release
Introducing ‘Recent activity’ section for OKRs to keep an eye on ongoing activity on OKRs.
Brought in additional visibility configurations for OKRs to allow hiding of ‘All users’ option completely.
Similar to how metric type KR’s progress can be linked to other metric KRs, the same feature is available for To Do type of KRs as well.

Form actions from UpRaise were visible on the Jira workflow post functions page, we have now removed them from the screen.
UI alignment bug on explorer view fixed.
Minor bug fixes

New features

Ability to expand one level in the hierarchy view at once, with a single click is now live
Customisable UpRaise dashboards are here
- Same set of dashboard gadgets will be available here as well as on Jira dashboard
Now KR based progress calculation shows the linkage both ways. Earlier it was only possible to see which KRs current KR depends on (from the KR details page). However, with this change - now you can even tell what other KRs current KR is linked with
Recently there were complaints that the Objective cycle statuses were not updated automatically based on dates. While that should still continue to work as expected, if there is a situation where it doesn’t - then the buttons are displayed on screen so that the action can be initiated by the user

Enhancements

Complete flexibility with introduction of granular permissions for leave management module.
Performance improvements across the entire leaves management module.

If you were using the KR based progress calculation, there was a corner case in which it became impossible to delete an involved KR - this is now corrected

Minor bug fixes
