Also, editor badges are now available in dashboards and in collaborating companies section for improved visibility. Numerous bug fixes have also been addressed to enhance overall platform performance and stability.
🪄 Feature Updates
Display of editors for active tasks
We have enhanced the way editors of a pending tasks are displayed. Now, you can see the avatars of all pending users at the top right of an active tasks, and hovering over these avatars will reveal the users’ email in a tooltip.
This update aims to provide a more intuitive way to identify users, allowing all collaborative members of a work item to quickly see who is responsible for the active task. (14324)
Additional capabilities in Custom Dashboard
We have dedicated efforts to enhancing the capabilities of the Custom Dashboard feature. Key improvements include:
- Column settings in grids: Columns in a customised dashboard can now be managed, whereby users with varying permission levels can either customise the settings privately, or apply changes that will affect all users with access to the dashboard. (14246, 14242, 14247)
- For dashboard Owners:
- When you change the column visibility or order, these changes can be saved for all users by clicking the “Update Dashboard” button.
- For dashboard Viewers:
- Users with View access to dashboards can rearrange and control the visibility of columns, which will only affect their own view.
- Visibility of dashboard editors: Users who created the dashboard will appear as editors in the share panel, enhancing clarity and transparency by clearly identifying who has editing rights for the dashboards. (14288)
- Supporting Expanded Properties in custom dashboards: We have upgraded the custom dashboards to allow for the enabling of the “Expanded Properties” feature, which was previously limited to only coded workflows or dashboards. Now, if the Ecosystem has this feature enabled, you will see an “Enable Expanded Properties” option available directly in the dashboard creation panel, allowing you to activate this functionality for your customised dashboard. (14353, 14364, 14358, 14363)
⭐ Tip: If the dashboard has not been updated to the latest setting, click on the “Reset” button to restore the saved column order and visibility.
📌 Note: The “Expanded Properties” feature allows tabular data within an individual work item to be displayed in a dashboard view. Each work item row will be expanded to display all rows from the table inside the work.
Flow actions enhancements
We have relocated the location in configurable actions are stored, allowing for more tailored enablement and display of actions that can be triggered, based on user permissions. This update will also provide more flexibilities for future implementations and customisations of actions, as well as ensuring they are relevant and accessible according to user roles.

Company Owner Badges
We are introducing Company Badges, represented by an “Owner” pill, which will be displayed next to the Company within the “Collaborating Companies” section within a work item.
These badges will provide better transparency, clarity, and understanding of the ownership responsibilities and permissions associated with the Companies and any Workflow Owners collaborating in a single work item. (14330, 14362, 14328, 14331)

Several improvements have been implemented to attachments to improve usability making it easier to manage and interact with attachments. (14319, 14318, 14243, 14321) These include:
- Bringing the print toggle into the attachment preview for added convenience.
- Enhancing the functionality to save a sorted list of documents within an attachment folder efficiently.
- Fixing an issue to ensure that the sorting can be applied reliably and accurately when documents are added, deleted or edited.
Wildcard search for Assets
We have added an additional capability in the Asset Search component to enable wildcard searches within a specified Asset Type. This broadens the capabilities of the Asset Search component, to offer greater flexibilities in querying from assets within an asset type. Furthermore, the list of options, represented as assets, can also be customised and managed effortlessly within the specific asset type. (14325)
