It’s now easier to read the technical debt analysis chart in Architecture Dashboard with our new formula approach. Until recently, our analysis chart showed the distribution of technical debt based on module or application count, and their agility. This chart led to difficulties in reading, since a big application full of technical debt marked as red (for low agility) is represented in the same size as a plugin that would normally be small and green (for high agility). This would end up even more complicated when the trend didn’t match the visual amount of agility. Our new formula approach considers the actual size of a module or app in the factory, delivering an improved perception of your factory's technical debt trend.

Easily add maps with single or multiple locations to your apps using OutSystems Maps. It’s fully adaptable, allowing you to change the behavior of your map and customize it according to your use case. You can also add customizable markers or popup markers, and use the Directions API to show users how to get there, no JavaScript knowledge required. Check our working samples and respective documentation, and stay tuned for more features we’ll be adding to this component.

Create automated tests for your client-side actions with the new BDDFramework Client-Side testing tool. You'll already be familiar with it, as it has the same development experience as the BDDFramework (for server-side). And with the new tagging feature and improved API, you'll have greater control over your automated test executions and more detailed reporting.

Forgotten passwords in mobile apps are a thing of the past in Experience Builder. Along with various sign-up and login options, you can now provide your end users with the ability to recover or change their login credentials, whether it’s your typical email address and password, a one-time password, or a mobile phone number.

Refresh REST services, import a new OpenAPI specification, and override a consumed REST services specification, so new attributes or APIs can be consumed. Besides increasing productivity, you can now get the necessary changes from the specification file instead of implementing them manually. It will also avoid the need to import the consumed REST service all over again if you delete it.

Create, compose, and send emails in Mobile and Reactive Web apps with the new Built-in Emails Technical Preview feature. Building your emails in Service Studio is easy, intuitive, and you can do it in real time.

Customize your Reactive Web app's URLs for search engine results with the new SEO-friendly URLs Technical Preview feature. You can now create rules in Service Center and customize the URL structure and page names directly in Service Studio.

The new process separates the upgrade of the OutSystems platform from upgrades of OutSystems applications. Now you can upgrade to the latest version of OutSystems and benefit from all the new capabilities, stability and security of the newest version, while applications remain untouched. Each development team will upgrade their apps, on the sequence desired, allowing for better time management and risk control. The new upgrade process avoids the time consuming task of republishing all modules, which means shorter environment unavailability for development related tasks. If a “republish all modules” is desired, it can also be done at any time. This capability is available only when upgrading from any OutSystems version 11 to version 11.12 or later.

Staying on top of technical debt is super important, and the first step is to prevent it from going up. Now you'll be able to filter your report area by creation and reopen date. No more guessing work to track your recent findings, simply filter them by past weeks, sprints, or quarters, and waste no more time tackling your technical debt. Check out our documentation for more information on how to find, filter, and understand the causes of technical debt.

Sometimes, to get something accomplished, you need people from different teams to take different actions before you can move on to the next step. Rather than one having to wait for the other in a sequential order when completing a business process, Workflow Builder now allows people to act on these tasks in unison with parallel flows. This update provides the perfect way to design processes with multiple paths executed in parallel but within the same instance.

First impressions can make a huge difference, and the mobile app sign-up process is often the first time you interact with an end user. Creating an effortless onboarding experience is vital in setting the tone for the rest of their interactions. In Experience Builder, you can now make this process painless with alternatives beyond the standard “What’s your email?” login. Try out other options to help people sign in with a phone number, one-time password, or drawing pattern. Familiarity and speed are the best approaches for getting people to dive into your apps!

Quickly add, edit, and delete entities directly in non-production environments. Simply double-click the attributes you want to change and make any necessary adjustments. You'll boost your productivity by editing data at least 10X faster, opening up priceless time in your day. Full back offices, advanced SQL queries, or advanced knowledge is no longer necessary when preparing your data for tests or demos! This feature will be available for everyone with Platform Server version 11.11.1 or above.

As a developer, when you start building a mobile app, do you ever get that feeling of déjà vu? Like remembering that team X developed that amazing flow for onboarding journeys in product Y and how useful it would be to take advantage of it? In Experience Builder, you can now create your own assets by importing your flows (with your own UX/UI, data, integrations and embedded best practices), so they can be shared and reused by all other Experience Builder users, provided they’re on the same infrastructure.

No more jumps! In the quest to evolve the Architecture Dashboard into a more autonomous tool, users are now able to have a complete experience through solving findings. There’s no need to navigate away to search for consumed elements information. We added the required information on dependencies and the list of elements consumed with each architecture finding.
