Agility Version 26.0 Point Release 1

Overview

Enhancements and bug fixes in Digital.ai Agility.

Enhancements

Digital.ai Agility

• Project Workspace usability improvements with select all, search, and always-visible checkboxes.
• Associate releases with portfolio items directly from the Asset Details page.
• Use a custom SAML attribute, such as SecID, for user identification during federated authentication.

Project Workspace Usability Improvements

The Project Tree workspace selector now includes enhanced usability features to simplify selecting and managing multiple workspaces.

Select All Workspaces

Use the Select all workspaces checkbox at the top of the Project Tree to quickly select all workspaces in your project hierarchy. This is particularly useful when you need to apply configuration changes across your entire organization or a large subset of projects.

Always-Visible Checkboxes

Workspace selection checkboxes are now always visible next to projects that contain workspaces. Previously, checkboxes only appeared on hover, making it difficult to identify which projects had workspaces and required selection. The persistent visibility helps you quickly scan the tree and select the workspaces you need.

Search Projects

A search field at the top of the Project Tree lets you filter projects by name. Type any part of a project name to narrow the tree view and locate specific projects quickly, especially useful in large hierarchies with hundreds of nested planning levels.

These improvements address customer feedback about the difficulty of selecting multiple workspaces across complex project hierarchies and make workspace configuration tasks faster and more reliable.

Associate Portfolio Items with Releases

Portfolio items now include a Release field in the Asset Details page, allowing you to associate portfolio items with specific releases directly from the lightbox.

The Release field displays the full release path in the format: Value Stream - Release Name. For example, "Digital Experience Stream - ChocoWeek Q3 2025". You can edit the release assignment at any time using either:

• The Release field in the portfolio item lightbox
• The Release widget in the Asset Details page

You can also filter portfolio items by Portfolio Item Release directly from the portfolio item list page, making it easy to view all portfolio items associated with a specific release.

This enhancement makes it easier to plan and track portfolio items across releases without navigating to separate planning views.

Enhanced Federated Authentication SAML Attribute Support

You can now configure Agility to use a custom SAML attribute for user identification instead of the standard NameID. By default, Agility uses the NameIdentifier claim from the SAML payload, but with this enhancement, system administrators can specify a custom attribute—such as secId—to be used instead. The default NameID-based authentication remains available if no override is set. Enable this option through a configuration setting.

Example SAML Assertion

The following example shows a SAML assertion with a custom secid attribute:

<saml2:Assertion xmlns:saml2="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion">
	<saml2:AttributeStatement>
		<saml2:Attribute Name="secid">
			<saml2:AttributeValue>1234567890</saml2:AttributeValue>
		</saml2:Attribute>
	</saml2:AttributeStatement>
</saml2:Assertion>

What You Can Do

• Configure Agility to use a custom SAML attribute (such as secId) for user identification
• Continue using the default NameIdentifier claim if no override is set

Requirements

• System administrator access to update SAML configuration
• SAML assertion must include the custom attribute with the required value

Release Planning

• Generate release notes automatically with Sage AI-powered assistance

AI-Powered Release Notes Generation

Sage now includes a Release Notes Generation quick action that automatically generates release notes for your releases. This AI-powered feature analyzes the stories and defects associated with a release and creates comprehensive release notes including new features, enhancements, critical fixes, and technical updates.

note

Available for editions supporting Sage.

How to Generate Release Notes:

1. Navigate to Release Planning Board > select your Value Stream > click on a release name to open the release details drawer.
2. Click the Sage tab in the release details drawer.
3. In the Sage Quick Actions section under WRITING & CONTENT, click Release Notes Generation.
4. Sage analyzes the associated work items and generates release notes automatically.
5. Review the generated content and refine as needed by typing additional instructions in the message box.

This feature helps teams create consistent, high-quality release documentation faster by leveraging AI trained on Agile best practices.

1. Click Show Closed Items in the top-right corner.
2. The closed items panel opens on the right side of the view.
3. Click Hide Closed Items to close the panel.

In Sprint planning and execution views:

• Closed items are grouped by sprint
• Expand or collapse each sprint group to view details
• View items closed during previous sprints

In Kanban view:

• Closed items are grouped by week
• Expand or collapse each week group to view details
• View items closed in previous weeks

Additional capabilities:

• Click the refresh icon to update the closed items list
• The Closed Work-Item widget operates independently from other buttons like Show Cumulative Flow, allowing you to view multiple panels simultaneously
• Click on any closed item to open the asset detail drawer and view more information about the closed item

Fixes

Dropdown and Multi-Select Field Hover Error

Fixed an issue where hovering over dropdown or multi-select field values (such as Owners) displayed an "Error: Not Found" tooltip when the field was in edit mode. The error occurred when you clicked into a dropdown or multi-select field to edit it and then hovered over the existing values. The field now displays the correct information tooltip in both view and edit modes.

To Do Hrs Attribute Not Available in Project Workspace

Resolved an issue where the "To Do Hrs" attribute was not available for configuration in the Project Workspace UI. This attribute, which is a calculated value, was missing from the list of configurable columns for Soft Requirement work items. The system now includes "To Do Hrs" as a configurable attribute where appropriate.
