Dashboards:

1. Kanban Task Manager Dashboard Enhancements.
   The Kanban view of the Work-Relay Task Manager has been transformed! This user interface overhaul better aligns with the Lightning user experience, clarifies the information being presented, addresses accessibility concerns, and provides users with more control over the dashboard’s configuration. With the new Task Manager experience, users are able to understand and complete their work items more quickly than ever, helping your organization relay work across departments at gold medal pace!
   
   
2. Planning Dashboard Filter Enhancements.
   Work-Relay’s Planning Dashboard now offers expanded task filtering capabilities, allowing users to filter tasks by fields from process data source objects. Users can select specific objects and dynamically filter based on their fields, with the ability to define custom logic using 'AND' and 'OR' operators. This update simplifies finding tasks related to specific process instances or segments, making it easier to locate relevant information quickly.
   
   
3. Allow opening Task Manager Item by URL with filter parameters.
   Users can now navigate to the Work-Relay Task Manager using a dedicated URL with pre-set filter parameters. This feature enhances cross-system integration by allowing external systems to link directly to a filtered view of tasks within the Task Manager. Filter parameters can be passed as a JSON object, ensuring users arrive at the relevant, pre-filtered task view instantly, improving workflow efficiency and navigation.
   

Processes Management:

1. Edit Processes in the Process Wizard.
   Expanding upon Process Wizard functionality delivered in Release 7.5, Work-Relay Administrators are now able to edit their processes directly in the Process Wizard interface. This provides a unified experience for Process Administrators, allowing them to update processes quickly and easily, without navigating to the Process Designer.
   
   
2. Process Component Change Audit.
   Work-Relay now includes a Process Changes Audit Trail feature, designed to ensure full tracking and accountability of modifications made to Processes. Users are prompted to provide optional comments when saving changes, and a new 'Audit Trail' tab on the Process Overview Page displays change history, including when, who, and why a change was made. Detailed logs are available for each change, enhancing transparency, facilitating audits, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
   
   
3. Background Task Monitor.
   New visibility features for the Work-Relay Background Task Monitor provide quick and easy access to error details and performance metrics. Work-Relay Administrators can now view a comprehensive overview of background jobs, including the number of items processed, trend indicators, start and completion dates, duration, successes, and failures. Clicking on failures allows users to see detailed error logs, and trend indicators are interactive, displaying charts for historical performance. These enhancements improve transparency, reduce manual error matching, and simplify monitoring the overall efficiency of Work-Relay scheduled jobs.
   
   
4. Process Migration/Deployment Using Salesforce Connected Apps.
   Work-Relay now supports Salesforce Connected App authentication for deploying components such as Process Versions, Forms, and Actions between Salesforce Orgs. This enhancement eliminates the need for manual user credential entry, especially benefiting clients using SSO. Users can configure target organizations using Connected Apps, providing secure, password-free deployment. A predefined Connected App is also included for quick setup, giving clients full control while maintaining security and compliance, significantly improving the efficiency of the deployment process.
   
   
5. Super Admin Settings Update.
   The Super Admin configuration in Work-Relay Settings has been enhanced for easier management. System Administrators can now add Super Admins via a user lookup component, eliminating the need to manually enter user IDs. The updated user interface also displays the list of Super Admins in a table format with user names, streamlining the process and reducing the effort needed to manage Super Admin roles.
   
   
6. Step Form - Dynamic by Formula.
   Work-Relay now allows administrators to configure step layout Forms using formula expressions, providing flexibility to display different Forms for the same step based on specified criteria. This feature introduces a new "Expression" layout mode, complete with an expression builder for easy configuration. The updated Form Selector supports both static and dynamic Form selection, reducing the need for large, cumbersome parent Forms and making future maintenance more efficient.
   
   
7. Step History - Pending Duration.
   Work-Relay now includes a "Pending Duration" metric in the Step History, showing the number of hours a step remained in the Pending status after activation by its predecessor. This enhancement provides better visibility into Process delays, allowing for improved analysis and optimization.
   
   
8. Step Predicted Duration.
   Work-Relay now includes predicted duration metrics, using statistical averages (median duration) for each Process Step. These metrics are visualized in various components, including popovers on Steps in the Workflow Line Component and Progress Dashboard, as well as in the Step Statistics section of the Process Overview Dashboard. This enhancement allows users to better anticipate the time required for each step, improving planning and management of Processes.
   
   
9. Process Overview for All Users.
   Work-Relay now provides a Lightning Component displaying Process Totals, available for Work-Relay Standard Users. Previously, only Work-Relay Admins could view Process statistics via the "Processes" tab. This enhancement provides visibility and accessibility to these key metrics for all users, making them readily available on any Lightning Page using Salesforce Lightning Page Builder.
   
   
10. Process Time Logs Enhancements.
    The Step Time Log component in Work-Relay has been enhanced to provide a more complete and flexible time tracking solution. Users can now log work for any Process Step, view time logs across all Steps, and retain these logs even when Process Instances are restarted. Permissions for editing or deleting time logs are restricted to time log owners and administrators, with optional extended access settings. User interface improvements include renaming the "Time Reporting" dialog to "Log Work," defaulting the "Billable" flag to checked, and rearranging the "Time Logs" panel for better usability.
    
    
11. Issues/Tasks permission system improvements.
    The Issues permission system in Work-Relay has been updated to ensure that only authorized users can add Issues to active Steps. Now, only the Assignee, Process Manager, Flow Admin, Instance Manager, and Super Admin have permission to add Issues. Additionally, permissions for extending Issue access are configurable in the "Additional Access" section of Process Settings, providing better control over who can manage Issues.
