API Rate Limiting

In today's data driven world more enterprises are taking advantage of Agility's API. As users begin to experiment with the API. There are times when a user who is learning can impact Agility performance. These issues mostly stem from unbounded queries or trying to pull too much data at a time. To ensure Agility users receive the best experience, Digital.ai enforces API rate limiting.

Digital.ai Agility

User Interface

Agility now allows users to expand their team view in all pages. With this option the focus is on essential elements such as board and tree. This option is very useful in team rooms where specific panels can be viewed in full-screen mode.

The Defect Planner page provides the following options:

• Add Tasks to the defect.
• Add Tests to the defect.
• Copy Tasks and Tests from a specific defect.

Grids now have Sticky Headers

The headers are now persistent across all grids in Agility. Earlier, the headers were hidden when the user scrolled down the list of workitems in the grid.

Objectives and Key Results

Use toggle option in experimental feature to enable OKR in Agility, OKR usage requires Digital.ai Identity Service

Agility Sync User Interface

Purge Option - Agility Sync now has an option to delete JIRA migration history.

• Agility Sync now has an option to remove the data from past JIRA migrations.
• The Purge option removes the JIRA migration history and helps users to re-run data migrations if there are changes to the field or mappings.
• When you use the Purge option for a mapping, all data related to that particular mapping is deleted from both AgilitySync and Agility.
• The Purge option is available only for JIRA data migrations.

Agility prompts the users for a confirmation before it executes the Purge action. The confirmation is the last opportunity for the users to retain their data, once they choose to go ahead with Purge option all the data related to that mapping, fields and workitems is removed from the Agility system.

Embed Images in Description

If an image is added to JIRA as part of the description and the story is synced with Agility, this image is displayed as a link in Agility. If you do not have access to the source the link becomes inaccessible. This issue is fixed now, images embedded in description are now properly synced across JIRA and Agility and are accessible from both the applications.

Gitlab Support for Epics and Issues sync

• Agility supports sync of Agility Epics to Gitlab ,this is unidirectional sync between Agility and Gitlab.
• Features created in Agility as children for the Epics are re synced to Gitlab as sub-epics under the above Epics. Parent-Child relationship is maintained and this is one way Sync between Agility Gitlab.
• After the Epics or Sub-Epics are created in Gitlab, issues are created as children under these Epics or Sub-Epics in Gitlab, and they are synced back to Agility as children to the respective Epics or Features. The issue sync in this case is birectional, issues can be created from Agility and sync to Gitlab.

Agility Sync now supports Audit History for Mapping Operations

Agility Sync now maintains the audit history for Agility Sync operations such as:

• Create, edit, delete, clone for mapping
• Create, update, delete for external plug-ins
• Create, edit, delete action for plug-in instance.

Users can access audit history from Manage Settings > Change Log > Object Type > three new options in Change log are introduced in Agility Sync for this release, they are:
