Release 2.15.0

Released January 28th, 2022

Features

Enterprise Authentication
Enterprise authentication allows the contents of a tenant to be made accessible only to certain users within a company. The users can be authorised for this either via e-mail verification or Azure AD.

New Tooltip Designer in Portal
The new tooltip designer in the portal allows you to design the tooltip in the same way as it works in Planner. This makes the creation of tooltip content much easier and allows a simple preview of how the content will be presented to the end user. In addition, route steps that contain custom code are highlighted so that the user can find them quickly and easily.

Open Route from Planner
To enable better integration between Planner and Portal, it is now possible to display a route opened in Planner directly in the Portal. Authentication takes place as a Single Sign On - the user therefore no longer has to additionally log on to the portal.

User Role Analytics
This extension of AppNavi Analytics allows you to capture the role of a user via the AppNavi Analytics API and submit it to the Analytics service. At content element level, AppNavi then graphically displays usage by role.

Direct Content Publishing
If a content is assigned to several applications, publishing a new version could be very time-consuming, as the content had to be republished in each application individually. The new function allows republishing the content directly from the content page. AppNavi automatically detects in which applications the content is published and where an update is required and republishes it.

Change Step Type
It is now possible to change the type of a route step in the Planner after it was recorded. This makes it possible to correct errors that occurred during recording without having to re-record the step.

Predefined style configurations
It is now possible to configure styles centrally via Custom CSS and then use them in the Froala editor. This allows for cross-content design adjustments.

Route Start Mode Configurable
This function allows you to configure per route whether it is started in automation mode or in learning mode by default.

Improvements

Custom Code editor improvements
We have adapted the design of the custom code editor in the portal for better readability of code. We have also improved the validation.

Inline Editing for Tooltip
The inline editing function for the tooltip has been improved. It is now possible to edit the contents of the tooltip directly in the recording without having to switch to the Planner. Various size templates have been made available to ensure a uniform appearance.

Validation in Planner
The validation in Planner has been significantly improved. This prevents conflicts when saving between portal and avatar.

Planner Usability Optimisations
We have rearranged the settings options in Planner, creating a much clearer user interface.

New Password Options for Users
When creating a new user, it is now possible to specify whether a password is to be sent by e-mail as before or whether it is to be displayed in the interface as a one-time password.

Bugfixes

Fixed problems with the execution of custom code in debug mode.
Hotspot rendering performance issues resolved.
Layer issues with hotspots resolved.

Bugfixes

Umlauts were not displayed correctly in the dialog title.

Improvements

Triggering the focus event
For input elements, AppNavi automatically sets the focus to the destination element when traversing a route. In certain constellations, however, this can lead to problems. For this reason, a new setting option has been added to control whether the element focus is set or not.

Bugfixes

Problems with opening the email client (mail-link) after integration of AppNavi fixed.

Release 2.14.0

Released November 12th, 2021

Features

New Analytics
With this release, we have significantly expanded the set of analytics. The dashboards now include significantly more information. In addition, there are object analytics that provide a detailed insight into user behavior related to different content.

Connected Routes
This function allows a user to interactively select which route to continue with when playing a route. This also includes routes from different applications.

Follow Up Routes
With the Follow Up Routes feature, content can be easily connected via a configuration. When playing the route, the user does not notice that it is a combination of different routes. It is also possible to link routes from different applications.

Theming
Our new interactive theming creator gives our customers the ability to give AppNavi the look and feel of their corporate colors. No programming or design knowledge is required to do this. The colors can be configured via an interface in the portal and applied directly to the design.

Content Store
In the future, the Content Store will give our customers the opportunity to obtain standard content for various standard systems. Through this standard content, customers can save effort and can easily reuse and adapt existing content.

New Editor in Planner
The Planner in the Avatar (Routes & Hotspot Planner) now uses the same editor that we use in the Portal. On the one hand, we now support many more features in the avatar planner, and on the other hand, we have now created much better compatibility between the planner in the avatar and the planner in the portal. The new planner creates a much better experience when editing content. It is now very easy to format text and insert and fit media into text.

Regional Languages
Besides the supported main languages, it is now possible to add country or region specific languages. Thanks to an intelligent fall back mechanism, AppNavi always displays the best available content language for a user.

Improvements

New Languages added
Russian, Polish and Hungarian UI languages are now supported in the avatar.

Support for shadow root elements
AppNavi now supports recording of open shadow root elements.

Display of HotSpots in the menu
The display of HotSpot menu items in the avatar has been optimized. This makes it easier to access the action buttons.

Responsive Announcement Dialog
The display of the Announcement Dialog is now based on the available screen size. This feature makes it easier for users to read news in the Announcement dialog.

Filtering news by means of labels
It is now possible to filter news items using the target group addressing (setting the labels). The filtering is applied immediately.

Any number of announcements can now be displayed using the following API call: window.appnaviApi.announcement.show(['newsId1', 'newsId2']). If you want to hide the news window, you can achieve this with this API call: window.appnaviApi.announcement.hide(). News that was displayed by an API call and read by a user will no longer be displayed by publishing news as announcements.

Release 2.13.0

Released August 28th, 2021

Features

Hotspots
Hotspots allow the user interfaces of web applications to be enriched with additional impressions. These small aids in the interface can be used to explain functions in a targeted manner or to provide the user with concrete assistance for a specific function. A hotspot element can display a direct help, announcement or start a route.

Heuristic Search
The Heuristic Search is an additional function for our intelligent search mechanism that can be used in web applications with little element information. The Heuristic Search helps to find elements much better. The Heuristic Search is automatically activated for all new routes and can be deactivated manually in the step settings.

Analytics performance improved
The Analytics pages now load much faster. In addition, a few calculations have been corrected.

Automation for Show Action
The Show Action now has an automation option that allows you to optionally set after how many seconds the route changes to the next step.

Reload page setting
Using the "Reload Page" setting on a Route Step, the target page can now be reloaded without the use of custom code.

Search algorithm
We are always working on improving our functions. This time we have made some important improvements to our search algorithm. It has now become even more efficient.

Bugfixes

When searching for steps in the portal, there was a display problem which has now been solved.

Improvements

Preferred attribute for recording

Release 2.12.0

Released June 11th, 2021

Improvements

Variations
Variations provide a simplified way to translate content into different languages. A selection on field level is no longer possible. Each content page gets a Variants panel to easily handle the different languages.

New translator role
With the new translator role we now have the possibility to distinguish between content creation and translation. While an author can design and change content, the translator can translate - but not make structural changes. It can be determined per translator on which languages he is authorized.

Recognize formatting
If content is copied from Word into a tooltip in Planner, the author is offered to automatically clean up the content format. In this way, any display problems can be avoided immediately.

Tagging images
Images can now be tagged to make them easier to find via our search.

Intelligent recapturing of elements
Intelligent mechanisms simplify the "recapturing" of an element. If the parameters of a UI element change and are then recorded again, AppNavi automatically detects dynamic parameters and deactivates them. In this way, manual configuration work can be prevented.

Improvement of the loading performance
The optimization of our components is continuously on our release planning. With the release, the avatar loads even faster and unnecessary network traffic is avoided.

Bugfixes

Fixed problem switching between languages in avatar.
Fixed issues with formatting images in the Avatar Tooltip Editor.
Fixed problems when using AppNavi in framesets.
