Release April 2025

We are happy to deliver the brandnew April 2025 Release with the new Workflow Status functions and the new Capacity Management! Try it now!

Remember, the Frontend is the user friendly spreadsheet for your Collector Users to deliver their monthly/weekly/daily data. The Admin Center is the tool for the Power User to setup and control your organization’s collection workflows.

(1) Admin Center: New Workflow Status functions

a. New Workflow Status change

We are very happy that with this release the Workflow Status of some ore all users that are allocated to a collection workflow can be changed with only 2 clicks:

Select the relevant users
Change the workflow status by selecting the status from the new dropdown

Simply acknowledge the dialog …

… and the status of all selected users will be changed at once:

b. New streamlined Workflow Status symbols

Furthermore, we have streamlined the Workflow Status symbols all over the application. Beginning in the Admin Center (see screenshot above) over the Workflow Landing Page …

… and also in the Collector Users frontend, the symbols for the Workflow Status are now everywhere the same:

Just for your information, at this time 4 Workflow Status exist:

Open (blue)
Finished (green)
Paused (orange)
Waiting (grey)

(2) Admin Center: New Copy Data functions

We have done a lot on the “Copy Data” feature with this release. Please be aware that this feature is an Add-On which needs to be licensed seperately.

a. Copy Data – New “Execute” button in the Admin Center

Due to historical reasons, the Copy Data feature was only accessable via the Frontend but not from the backend. With this release we have changed that and we have added the new “Execute” button directly to the Copy Data job definitions:

Pressing this button will directly open the Copy Data Job definition (where editable parameters cann be edited) and where the Copy Data process can be started with the “Start” button:

b. Copy Data – Clean execution as “long running task”

We are happy, that Copy Data jobs are executed now as so-called “long running tasks”. This prevents you and us from timeout problems with larger jobs. You can see the “in progress” symbol on the Copy Data definition bar as long as the job is running …

… and you will see the “finished” symbol when it is finished. Furthermore you get now the information how many records were created at which time directly on the task bar within the Copy Data definition dialog:

c. Copy Data – Improved user interface

We have improved the user interface for the Copy Data definition.

First, the order of the Copy Data jobs can be changed now by drag and drop. This is very important for larger “Copy Data” processes since jobs often have to executed in a certain order.

Second, the “is Editable” attribute has now the consequence that the “Filter value default” field is only visible as long as this option is activated:

d. Copy Data – Extended definitions

Filters can be defined now also on the Element Type (from the connected Dim001 Table):

Furthermore, you can define now Target Rules also on the TEXTxx Attributes in your fact table and you can define now also the value “(empty)” (which is “null” in SQL) in order to remove e.g. the comments from your source records when you copy them:

e. Copy Data – Increase in price for the Add-On

Due to those major investments we have increased the price from € 20 per month and application to € 30 per month and application. Like always in data1.io, price increases are not applied to customers who already have this license but only to new licenses.

(3) Frontend: Two Add-Ons are core functions now

a. “Iterate Sheet” is a core function now

We have introduced the “Iterate Sheet” function back in January 2023 release and have improved this feature in many of the following releases. Until now this feature could only be used with an extra “Add-On” License. We are happy that with this release the “Iterate Sheet” function is a core function and can be used with every Free Plan or Enterprise Plan.

b. “Calculation Wizard” is a core function now

We have introduced the “Calculation Wizard” back in July 2023 release. Until now this feature could only be used with an extra “Add-On” License. We are happy that with this release the “Calculation Wizard” is a core function and can be used with every Free Plan or Enterprise Plan.

(4) Admin Center: Enterprise Plan menu items

Until now, menu items related with an Enterprise Plan and/or an Add-On license were only visible for Tenant Admins but not for Application Owners. With this release we have changed that and now also Application Owners can use all the advanced menu items in the Admin Center:

(5) Further Improvements

(will be described soon)

We have updated the “Create Account” screen and we have improved the “Onboarding” messages. Furthermore we have solved some bugs with the Copy Data feature, with the conditional formatting in the workbook, with the format of the widget on the collection workflows landing page and with the List Queries.

We hope you like the new features – we are very curious about your feedback!

Please let us know what you think about data1.io and what kind of planning and data collection processes you evaluate to automate.
