• Exporting form responses did not return responses but returned scores in some cases, now addressed.

New features

• OKR weightage impact is now visible in the form of percentages. Before, it was only in the form of actual weight numbers.
  • It is now also possible to look at all the relevant weights in a single click rather than look at them one by one.
  • And the weightage can now be configured with any number between (including) 0 and 100.

Bugs

• When a cycle’s status was moved to ‘Active' from ‘Scheduled’ manually, it didn’t change the status. Now fixed.
• Using current month on the Roadmap view for OKRs did not accurately reflect on the screen. Resolved.
• Minor issues related to custom field filtering on OKRs & User profiles.
• Exporting form responses did not return responses but returned scores in some cases, now addressed.

New features

• Company directory now allows user segmentation with the help of default & custom profile attributes.
• Roadmap view for OKRs is now enhanced to show all the nested elements. It also offers support for zooming in & out along with the ability to choose a starting month.
• All form templates (except 360) now offer the possibility to add user(s) in a distribution as long as the distribution is not closed. This will help in containing number of distributions created only for a handful of users who were missed in the initial distribution.

Bugs

• Migration related error leading to inconsistent permissions fixed.

Version 8.1.0

New features

• Latest comment from Jira issues (which are linked as KRs or KR actions) now appear on the Browse OKRs page (if the relevant columns are displayed on the screen).
• User segmentation initial version is being released to lay down the foundation for People automation that is to come in the next few months.

Bugs

• Search results are now ordered in pickers so that the closest result appears at the top. This solves the problem for some organisations which had more than 25 teams starting with the same name.
• Objectives whose due dates are in the past were being displayed in the Active OKRs bucket in the User & Team profile pages. It was happening since the app was also taking into account the due dates on key results. That is now fixed.

Bugs

• There was an error while accessing UpRaise when the Jira instance had an oAuth related app (developed by miniOrange) installed. This is now fixed.
• There were a handful of errors when UpRaise app was being upgraded from some of the older versions. We have now addressed that.

Version 7.8.0

Release date - Jan 16, 2023

New features

• Similar to Metric KR progress calculation, To Do key results can be configured (for progress calculation) to depend on any type of key results - be it metric, to do or even Jira issues.
• New permission option introduced to prevent certain roles from being able to access profiles of inactive/deleted users.
• Form templates can now be shared with other users so that they can use these templates in their own distributions. Up until now, you either had to be creator or a super admin to be able to do this.
• Beta version of the ‘Roadmap view’ for OKRs is here. Right now, it only supports display of first level of nesting. However, based on the feedback we receive - we will enhance this feature further.

Enhancements
