Note: QA Release Date: August 1, 2023. Production Release Date: August 22, 2023. The August release will be delayed one week from the usual "third Tuesday" schedule.
This month's release is a little quieter than usual as the engineering team kicks off our Q3 roadmap work, but it still includes many small enhancements and fixes, and the team completed a few larger features worthy of a highlight. Read on to see what the August release has in store!
One of the most exciting features rolling out in the 2023.8 release is a new option for tables in our Screen Designer. This new feature enables an expanding panel on each row of a table, with the contents of that panel defined in the screen designer as another element.
As the example above shows, this new option allows screen designer users to create rich, contextual UI for data displayed in tables using the full flexibility of the screen designer: visualizations, forms for editing, nested tables with more information, action buttons for interactions - you name it!
This month's release includes a major new connector - or, more specifically, an enhancement to an existing connector. The Fuuz ODBC integration connector now additionally supports a driver for NetSuite, allowing NetSuite customers to retrieve data through a common and well-understood API. NetSuite is the #1 ERP solution globally, serving all sizes of customers from pre-revenue to multi-billion-dollar firms.
This new connector reflects our commitment to our NetSuite customers and partnership. Fuuz is a NetSuite staff pick, an honor given to only five partners, and we're happy to build on that success by providing more solutions and flexibility for NetSuite integrations.
The August 2023 release also includes a new integration connector: SAP SuccessFactors. SuccessFactors is a cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) software suite; with this new connector, Fuuz customers can push and pull HCM data to and from SuccessFactors, including employee records, training history, vacancies, and more, allowing Fuuz to integrate the entire employee lifecycle for SAP customers: interviewing, hiring, onboarding, training, promoting, and retirement.
Among the other changes rolling out with the 2023.8 release is an update to the way Fuuz handles API key authentication internally. This change significantly reduces the authentication overhead on requests made by API keys, thereby reducing the overall latency of those requests without impacting the functionality or behavior of API keys. This change also has the added benefit of reducing the amount of workload on several internal services, freeing up resources for handling other requests.
