Beat the heat with some cool new features in Centercode's August release!

The sun is beating down, things are heating up, and here at Centercode, we thought a set of cool enhancements might be just the breath of fresh air you need! The August release contains a new feature designed to help you get your project off of the ground, as well as a few pesky bugs zapped!

 new features

✨ New Features ✨  

Don't forget your NDA (and sunscreen)!

Protecting your project privacy is important (almost as important as protecting your skin!), and this brand new feature coming out of our GoEarly program adds an extra layer of protection to your program. We've added a combo of warning banners and infoboxes to let you know if you don't have a project-level NDA set up in your notice process in any project marked as private. 

A new button will take the place of your "Invite to project" button, letting you know that you're missing an NDA for your participant teams. Clicking it will take you right where you need to go to get one set up! Warning infoboxes will also show up anywhere you might add testers, such as the Invite to project interface, recruiting pages (shown below), and invite type pages. Not setting up an NDA for your project (or already have one configured at the community level), or simply don't need the reminder? No problem! Dismissing the button in the menu will return it to the "Invite to project" button, and you'll never see these warnings again in that project.

Lighting up the night sky with some explosive new features!

July always starts with a bang, and the explosive new features in Centercode's July release will make sure it ends with one as well! We've got two huge reporting-related crowd-pleasers this month guaranteed to spark some oohs and aahs, as well as some exciting new GoEarly features and bug fixes.  So get your sparklers ready, and enjoy the show! 💥


 new features

✨ New Features ✨  

Starting things off with a bang!

BOOM! Exploding out of the gate is our first new feature this month, report-level filters!  This handy new tool, available at the "Modify this report" level view, allows you to set filters that apply to every report element using a specific data source (ie. user data, specific feedback types, etc.) Instead of setting up a filter on each element in a report with multiple elements, you can ensure you're seeing the same set of filtered data in each element by setting up a report-level filter!

After configuring your report-level filter, every report element using the same data source will automatically use the report-level filter that you created, both saving you time and ensuring that you're viewing the same subset of data in each of your report elements!


The showstopper!

And now, the one you've all been clamoring for (one of our most frequently requested new features!), report cloning! This brand-new feature gives you the ability to generate a clone of a report at the click of a button! Got an in-depth complicated report set up just the way you want, but need a version that applies to a different subset of users? Simply hit "Clone" in the report management screen and you'll have an exact copy of your existing report ready for tweaking! Combine this with our new report-level filters and you'll have that data on that new set of users in your hands in minutes!


💡 Centercode GoEarly features 💡 

NDA Reminders!

Not sure if your testers have signed everything they need to before getting their hands on your test product? No problem! Our GoEarly feature for this month is a new NDA reminder system designed to notify project managers if their tests set to "Private" exposure have tester-facing project-level NDAs. Get some peace of mind before you hit that invite to project button!

If you’re not already participating in our GoEarly program, sign up here to get your hands on these new updates before they go live!

New features and improvements, hot off the grill!

What is that delicious smell? That's right, it's summer, and that means cook-out season! Centercode is serving up a few grilled-to-perfection new features and improvements to help get your summer started off right! A sleek and condensed new way to view your community home project list (for if your backyard cookout has escalated into a full-on block party!), as well as a few tasty new items for the Centercode Data Engine to help you get your data customized just the way you want! And that's not all—we've got a few big improvements coming down the line for your Centercode reports. If you're a member of our GoEarly program, you can get their hands on them now!

📈  Improvements 📈 

A new way to display!

Hold out those plates! First up, we've got a brand-new way to view your Centercode community home: a condensed project list into a series of more manageable and easy-to-read buttons. Simply click the new "Toggle display mode" button located in the upper right corner of your community home project list to swap between the standard and condensed view on the fly, giving both admins and testers an easy new way to scan through long project lists!

A heaping helping of new CDE fixins'!

Next on our list we've got a whole host of new CDE items for the Centercode Data Eengine. Available for both filters and views, the focus of these new data items is on providing new insights on overall project timelines and participation.

Click here for a full list of the new data items and the data types and groups they are listed under!

💡 Centercode GoEarly features 💡 

Report cloning and report-level filters!

Exciting news this month for our GoEarly members! We've got two brand new time-saving features coming to reports. First up, we've got one you've all been clamoring for and one of our MOST requested improvements: report cloning! Create a clone of an existing report that you can tweak to your heart's content while leaving the original untouched! And that's not all— we've also got a brand new report-level filter system, allowing you to create a single filter at the report level that you can choose to apply to all elements within the report.

Just like last time, we gathered up a huge number of fast-but-super-impactful bugs and improvements from nearly every area of the platform.
