This month we've got some seriously a-May-zing (last one I swear) user-requested updates and features on offer! This release introduces new options for time and timestamp formats, along with a powerful way to preview your tester-facing experience before going live. Together, these enhancements streamline your workflow and ensure that every detail — from timing to communication — is dialed in to perfection. And as always, to get a taste of everything this release has to offer, join our GoEarly program now!
new features
First, by popular demand, expanded time format options are here. Users can now choose to display timestamps in a 24-hour format, alongside new alternative timestamp formats in areas of the platform where there might have been been ambiguity (ie mm/dd/yyyy can be swapped for dd/mm/yyyy, but Jan 3rd will remain Jan 3rd.) Whether you’re aligning with international standards or just prefer a cleaner clock, your users will have the flexibility to match their style and needs, and questions of whether you mean January 2nd or February 1st will be a thing of the past!
Next up for our GoEarly participants, and by even more popular demand, we're introducing our brand-new User Experience Preview function! This tool allows admins to test and review the tester-facing experience — from welcome messages in your notice chain to access to individual resources — before they're live. It’s the perfect way to ensure that every communication lands exactly how you intend, giving you total confidence in your audience’s journey from day one. This brand new tool lets you fully experience your project as a user, including (or skipping!) the notice chain, and any resources, activities, or feedback forms a user on the teams you select would have access to. And once you're finished, the tool will clean up after you, removing the test user and any notice, survey, or activity completions you tested!
It's April, and that means it's time for another Centercode release! And the theme of this month's release... is time! We've got a couple handy new date/time/scheduling related features and improvements for you this month that are sure to help you get your tests on track and running like clockwork! As always, half of the fun is seeing these new features and improvements early via our GoEarly program, and it's always the right time to sign up and get your own test implementation up and running, so sign up now!
improvements
We've got some brand-new (and user requested!) functionality added to our macro and distribution scheduling options! Sometimes you might not want a scheduled macro or report distribution to run forever, or you might want to schedule a single distribution or event in the future, so we've added the "Once" and "Ending on" options to our scheduling system. Know when your project is set to end, and won't need reports distributed after that date? Set it and forget it! Got an email you want to go out on a specific day in the future? Create a scheduled macro set to "once" and don't worry about marking your calendar to send it later! Setting your test up for success from the get-go is now easier than ever before!
This month's GoEarly features also bring a few new date and time-related options to the table, with the focus being on providing more options for HOW date and time are presented! We know many of you have testers around the globe, and they might want to set the date and time display options to a format they're more familiar with (which can help avoid errors when using the date/time selection widget!). You'll now be able to use a 24h clock, as well as have a few different date presentation options (DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, etc). Eager to get your hands on these changes to see how they work? There's no time like the present, get signed up for GoEarly now!

Happy early St. Patrick's day, PiDay(FriDay), and my personal favorite, MAR10 (and good luck in your March Madness pools!) There's a lot to celebrate this month, and Centercode is joining the festivities with a release loaded with new features and improvements! This month we've got some new functionality for existing tools, and a whole host of new data columns for our reporting engine (many of them sourced from your improvement requests!) that allow you to pull data from the platform in all new ways! And this month's GoEarly release keeps the data engine fun going with some brand new automation triggers to get your report and macro automations firing just the way you want. And as always, if you're not already participating in our GoEarly program, get signed up now to get in on the fun!
new features
First up we've got a brand new way to access the data collected via your Centercode feature media capture tools. We've added the ability to download your Centercode tester replays to share with outside stakeholders. Videos can be downloaded a la carte, or in groups based on the filters and tags you select! Get all that tasty video data you've collected in Centercode out to the people who need to see it!
improvements
Speaking of tasty data, we've got a few more items to add to the menu! We've got a whole host of new (and a few clarified/reorganized) data points for your reporting and integration needs. Based on your feedback, we've added the ability to report on regression features by individual phase they were used in, as well as a batch of integration-friendly new columns including Project key and Project settings fields!
This month's GoEarly release contains a new set of automation triggers developed based on your requests! We've added a new refresh interval (once), as well as the ability to set an end date for any of the other refresh intervals. This new functionality is available anywhere scheduled automation exists (including report refreshes, and scheduled macros.) Get signed up for GoEarly and check out these new features on a test implementation of your very own!
