This new release brings the following enhancements and improvements to your Kendis experience.

In the following sections, each of these enhancements will be explained in detail.

Kendis now offers a simple solution to create a copy of your board configuration.

When you select this option, all the board configurations will be copied including team mappings, however, the value for the sprints will be set to "No Container". This way, the only thing you need to do to configure your new PI board is to set the sprints for each team.

This option will copy all the configurations and map the sprints as well. The only difference between your current board and copy board will be the contents on the board.

With this release, the risks view at the board is more customizable and offers an improved experience.

Based on the customer feedback, we have added now 2 more fields to provide a better relationship between a risk and the teams. You can now set the following 2 values at the risks

Previously, on the board when you open risks, it wasn't possible to filter, sort or customize the columns. With this release, you can perform all these actions.

Filters for the Risks

Sorting Risks

It's now possible to sort risks at the board by

Customize Columns

To change the list of the columns shown at the risk register, click on the selection dropdown

Multiple customers requested that to provide better traceability in their agile tools, they would like to restrict the users if they haven't set up their personal profile ALM.

Who can activate this setting?

Users with the "Board Admin" rights and super users have the option to access the Board Settings.

How to make the change?

Go to the Board Edit Settings and turn on this option.

Once the admin activates this option user must have to give their Alm profile mapping to unlock edit rights for the board.

Previously it was not possible to auto-provision the SAML groups to automate the user provisioning. If a new user would join the organization through SAML, they wouldn't get any permissions and member has to do it manually.

With this release, Kendis offers support for SAML groups for AzureAD and others.

When you edit a group at Kendis, type the value of the SAML group name in the External Group field. Once the user login at Kendis through SAML, Kendis will match this External Group reference with the SAML group of the users, if it matches, the user will be added to this group automatically, making it easier for the system admins to auto-provision user rights and groups based on the SAML groups.

There are a number of other smaller enhancements made in this release and here is the summary of the important points.

Improvements of Updates handling in the Local Browser

Sometimes the board during the PI planning session would get a bit slower due to a high number of operations being performed by the other users on the same board. Kendis has added a smart mechanism on the real-time updates on the user browser to avoid getting it overloaded. This enhancement will help users during the PI planning and their browsers will not get slower.

If Kendis detects that the user browser is getting overloaded, a small icon next to the search area at the top with the red dot will appear with a message indicating the user to "Reload the browser". After this reload, the user browser will work better and this will help users to have a better experience during their PI planning.

There are navigation changes and now the Live Chat Support is only available on the left navigation bar.

There is an additional help icon, providing options for the users to raise a support ticket, besides the live chat.

Other Improvements

In the Kendis next release coming up in about 6 weeks, we will bring out some valuable features that will make your PI Planning and Tracking experience even better.
