Exciting news! In this release we’re introducing personalized URLs for our users, the ability to add single sign-on login, as well as a number of major enhancements across the platform. We are also happy to announce the launch of our own browser extension.
Platform changes:
- Personalized URLs – over the course of the next few months, all of our users will access the platform using custom URLs created specifically for them.
- Single sign-on (SSO) – we are now able to offer SSO login for customers who wish to switch to a centralized login experience for their teams. Reach out to your CSM for more details.
- Accessibility Assessment utility – we’re launching a browser extension that will help developers, testers, and auditors evaluate websites and applications for accessibility issues based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. After evaluation of multiple pages, send the results to the platform for further analysis and to start the remediation process!
Major enhancements:
- Project cards display high-level stats – users can see the progress of their project by looking at the project card.
- Users can export filtered tasks – exports of tasks can now be limited to specific tasks you have selected instead of all tasks.
