Things are starting to heat up, and I'm not just talking about the weather! Centercode's June release includes two incredible new features that you're sure to love! Say goodbye to the days of burner email addresses and spinning up test accounts to preview your onboarding process, and make way for the brand new User experience preview tool. Hot off the GoEarly presses, this powerful new tool lets you create, test as, and remove a temporary user account in one seamless flow!
And headed to our GoEarly users we've got a game-changing new way to edit your filters and views in the data engine. This is one you won't want to wait for, so get signed up now!
new features
We’re excited to announce the launch of User Experience Preview, a brand new Centercode feature designed to give you complete visibility into any user’s experience. For example, admins can now seamlessly step into the role of a tester, including navigating the project, completing activities, and viewing content exactly as testers would. When you’re done previewing, the temporary tester account is automatically cleaned up to keep your environment tidy. This powerful update ensures your projects are polished, intuitive, and perfectly aligned with your expectations before real participants ever set foot in the door.
You can access the User experience preview via the User management menu, as well as a few other convenient areas throughout the platform where you might want to preview a user's journey through the platform, including areas such as Recruitments and Notice management.
Designed with the same familiar look and feel as our quick invite UI, the User experience preview makes it fast and intuitive to preview exactly what your testers will see. Simply select the recruitment path or combination of teams you would like to preview (including or excluding the notice process) and Centercode will instantly generate a temporary user account to preview that experience!
And voila! You'll be temporarily previewing an account with the specified level of access. View (and even complete!) the activities, surveys, content, and feedback types as if you were a user. When you're done the system will automatically clean up any changes you made!
This powerful new tool helps ensure your project is set up exactly as intended before inviting testers. It lets you catch visibility issues, broken links, or confusing flows early, reducing tester friction and support needs. Or use it to quickly share a real, interactive preview with stakeholders, so they can see exactly how testers will engage with your project. By stepping into the tester’s shoes, you can confidently deliver a polished, intuitive experience from day one!
Hold on to your hats, this is another big one! In this month's GoEarly release we're rolling out a major revamp of the Data Engine interface to streamline how you explore and interact with any data in your system. Anywhere in the platform where you're working with filters/views (reports, user/feedback lists, etc.) is getting a big upgrade! Here's just a few examples of what you've got to look forward to!
Modern Navigation & Search
We’ve modernized the Data Engine UX to support both structured hierarchical browsing and a lightning-fast, scope-wide search so you can find what you need, your way.
Archived Data Toggle
Need to reference old data? Now you can include archived items in your filters with a simple toggle, making it easy to surface retired fields when they’re still relevant.
Clear PII Visibility & Controls
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is now clearly flagged throughout the engine. You're now able to easily remove all PII from your selected view elements with the click of a button, giving you a fast easy way to convert an existing report into one suitable for presentation! We’ve also added community-level settings to govern how PII can be used, giving you better control and compliance confidence.
fixes
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!
