Forms now save the responses every few seconds if the system detects any changes. This improves the experience since there were a few instances when users lost their responses due to timeouts.
App now allows you to set up reminder frequency while creating the KR.
Shared OKR views can now be managed by users that have the ‘Manage OKRs’ permission. This allows for decluttering of views in case they balloon up to a large number over a period of time.
As a user, if they update worklog for their leaves in tempo timesheets automatically on approval in upraise apps so the user doesn’t have to log it manually again in Tempo timesheets app.
Now it is possible to exchange Team member & Reviewer while creating/editing a distribution
Progress charts on Objective & KR details pages are now configurable. Some customers found the progress charts a little too confusing, so we have made them configurable. By default, these charts will be visible though.
New ‘Alignment’ filter was introduced to surface objectives that are of interest such as objectives with no alignments or objectives that only receive contributions from other objectives & so on.
Now system retains the last used view on the calendar screen

Ability to export responses on 360 template distributions in Excel.

Objective alignment at the time of objective creation used to fail, which is now rectified with an appropriate permission check.

We are now storing the Team related changes in the database. While this history doesn’t show up anywhere yet on the UI, it will become available as part of the next few releases.
‘Create another’ check box on ‘Add leave type’ pop-up
We are now storing the KR progress in the database instead of calculating it on the fly. This makes it easier for you to filter the OKRs based on progress percentage. Earlier, it was only the Objectives that were returned based on progress percentage filter.
We are making progress automation a central concept in the OKRs module. Thus, we have brought the progress calculation configurations to the fore on the create/edit key result pop-up itself. We plan to bring in some more automation-related options in the next few weeks.
Some improvements in the Estonian language translations.
To allow reordering when there are more than 5 key results, we are now displaying a ‘show all’ toggle on the objective details page.
Team type value, if not empty, is now being displayed at all places wherever team name is displayed. This makes it easier for end users to see what type of ‘team’ they are dealing with.
