| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Updates to SWAG values displayed on the Roadmaps board | To ensure that you can view SWAG estimates based on different criteria, we have made the following changes on the Roadmaps board: |
| - You can view SWAG estimates for portfolio items on the respective cards. | |
| - You can view rollup of SWAG values across rows and columns to understand SWAG estimates for the selected group-by criteria (such as Teams) or a specific period. | |
| New group-by options in the Roadmaps board | We have added the following group-by options in the Roadmaps board to provide users more ways to group the data: |
| - Project - Level | |
| - Strategic Theme - Level | |
| - Target Team | |
| The button used to create new portfolio items is not available when grouping by "Project - Level" or "Strategic Theme - Level". | |
| Ability to switch from vertical view to horizontal view in the asset details page | We have added a new button on the asset details page that allows you to switch between vertical and horizontal views of asset details. |
| Using this button, you can: | |
| - Switch to the horizontal view to see text fields like Description. | |
| - Switch back to the default vertical view for other needs. | |
| Ability to configure PlanningRoom by a Strategic Theme | To allow users to create PlanningRooms focused on specific Strategic Themes, we have added a Strategic Theme filter in the PlanningRoom configuration page. |
Usability improvements
- Added a find filter for Strategic themes.
- When using a filter with the 'Contains' criteria, search string can contain spaces.
- Made changes to show the correct configured term for the 'Scope' asset. For example, the UI will now display Planning Level or Project as per the terminology configured.
Performance Updates
There have been several performance updates recently. These changes were made available in point releases as they were completed. Below is a recap of those changes.
- Added support for Datamart AWS Server connections
- Installer will now permit valid email addresses with a top level domain that exceeds three characters
- Added response body to Ideas exceptions. Allows Ideas derived stories and pages to fail when Ideas is misconfigured.
- During a Digital.ai Agility upgrade, if the database permissions of the user is not set to system admin, the upgrade will not take the database offline.
We would like to thank everyone who partnered with us to identify and work through these issues. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and patience.

The following integrations will be sunset in the Digital.ai Agility version 22.0 release and no longer supported by Digital.ai Agility. They will continue to be open-source and community supported.
