Weekly Changelog: All-New Dashboards, Custom Branding, and Workflow Power-Ups

This week's update introduces a powerful new dashboard system, custom organization branding, advanced workflow actions, and significant performance enhancements.

-

New Features

  • Build Custom Dashboards: We've launched a brand new dashboarding system! You can now create and manage interactive, real-time dashboards to visualize your data. Widgets can display live information and trigger workflows, giving you a powerful new way to monitor and interact with your systems.
  • Customize Your Organization's Branding: You can now personalize your organization's appearance with a custom display name, unique colors, and a user-friendly login hint. New public API endpoints are also available to help you build fully branded login experiences for your users.
  • New Powerful Workflow Actions: We've added a whole new suite of actions to make your workflows even more capable:
    • Data & Logic: Filter arrays, transform dates, validate data structures, and manipulate strings (including generating random strings, passwords, and UUIDs).
    • Integrations: Easily connect to legacy systems with the new SOAP Request action.
    • Networking: Generate WireGuard keys and retrieve details for IPv4 addresses directly within a workflow.
  • More Advanced Interactive Forms: Forms are now more dynamic. You can add multiple action buttons (e.g., "Approve," "Reject") to route workflows down different paths and conditionally show or hide fields based on user input.
  • Fault Data Export Tool: A new command-line tool is available for administrators to export historical fault data to a CSV file, perfect for offline analysis, reporting, and archival.

Enhancements

  • Improved Guest & Device Connectivity: We've improved how devices connect to your network. By correctly handling common operating system connectivity checks (including for Windows devices), client devices will now more reliably detect and display captive portals.
  • Major Performance and Scalability Upgrades: We've made significant under-the-hood improvements to boost speed and reliability, especially for high-volume environments. This includes faster event processing, caching for frequently used workflows, and database optimizations that make querying historical data much faster.
  • More Reliable Site & VPN Management: The processes for deleting sites and managing VPN instances have been completely overhauled to be more robust and prevent inconsistencies.
  • Smarter Workflow Execution:
    • Workflows with iterators can now be run sequentially, ensuring tasks are processed in the correct order.
    • Form validations now run instantly upon submission, providing immediate feedback to users if corrections are needed.
    • We've also improved the workflow scheduler to prevent duplicate runs and enhanced logging for easier debugging.
  • Better Fault Analysis: You can now filter faults by type (e.g., site) and combine filters more effectively. We've also boosted the performance of queries for recent faults and increased data retention from 90 days to 14 months, giving you a much longer view of historical trends.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where alerts could occasionally be missing site-specific details or links.
  • Resolved a bug that could cause cached site information to persist after a site was permanently deleted.
  • Corrected an issue where date range filters were not applied correctly when querying for faults associated with a specific site.
  • Ensured that creating and deleting VPN instances now correctly handles potential errors during user seat adjustments, preventing billing inconsistencies.
