Digital.ai Release Home Page

Digital.ai Release introduces a new Home page that serves as a centralized hub, providing users with a comprehensive view of their recent workflows, releases, and other relevant information in a single place. This Home page offers a high-level overview, simplifying access to critical information.

For all users within your organization, the Digital.ai Release Home page serves as a customizable starting point. It enables the display of essential updates, product usage guidelines, and highlights new features. This enhances the visibility of the latest product functionalities.

After creating a template, initiating a release or workflow, or adding an application, these tiles will begin displaying information. It's important to note that the tile showcases the five most recently updated templates, releases, workflows, or application pipelines.

Announcement tile

You can use the The Announcement tile to perform the customizations based on your organization's needs. Potential use cases include highlighting important information, such as links to essential templates or folders within Release, service announcements related to upgrades and maintenance schedules, links to external systems, and more. Administrators have the freedom to incorporate one or more of these tiles onto the Home page.

Note: For Announcement tile, you can change the Title, Main content, Button label, Button link, Button type, and Image link. For the other tiles, you can change only the Title and Main content.
