Enhancements and Features

Configuration bar simplification

We have simplified the way resetting filters works in the Configuration bar:

• Program increments
  
  Previously, two reset buttons were available when filtering by program increment:
  
  
  • Reset to All: Returned any work item assigned to any program increment.
  • Reset to None: Returned all work items, including items not assigned to a program increment.
  Now, a single button is available:
  
  
  • Reset: Clears the filter and returns all work items, including items not assigned to a program increment
  A Select All check box was added to the menu to provide a way to filter any work item assigned to any program increment.
  
  
• Portfolios, programs, release vehicles, and organization structures
  
  The Reset to All button has been renamed to Reset. Behavior has not changed; selecting the button will clear the filter.

Jira Deleted Issues scheduling

The deleted issues search of the Jira Software connector now lets you set a date and time to run the report. Admins no longer need to set personal reminders to log into Jira Align on the weekend or after-hours to run the search. 

Feature search on Epic details slide-out

The External ID field is now supported when searching for features from the Features section of an epic's details slide-out. Note: Multi-project features will not display in this search area.

Team Room Chat

To improve the performance of the Team Room, the Chat area has been updated:

• Contents in the Chat area no longer auto-refresh. The page must be refreshed to show updates.
• New users have the Chat area toggled-off by default in the View Configuration menu. Existing user settings are not affected.

Removed Plan Demand option from Forecast when estimating in points

The Plan Demand option has been removed from the Forecast page when the primary estimation method uses points. Plan Demand provides options primarily designed for member weeks and team weeks estimation methods.

Clickable links in Ideation emails

The title of an idea is now a clickable link inside of Ideation notification emails. Users that click a link will be directed to the idea in their internal or external portal once logged in.

External References/Links relocated

To reduce the number of clicks to access the External References/Links menu, we have moved the option up into the default list that displays on the right side of an item's details slide-out. You no longer need to select the Show More option to access the menu.
