March 2021 Serenity updates

This month, we’re glad to share with you lots of new features and enhancements that will definitely delight you! Less manual tasks thanks to a new mass action for assets and improvements on user management, more guidance on enrichement thanks to attribute guidelines, and an easier debugging for your Events API-based connections.

Summary

Mass edit your assets

Type: New  |  Feature: Productivity  |  Available in Serenity EE only since late march  |  📖 Read the doc

If you need to edit one or more attributes of several assets from the same family at once, it's now possible to do so within the asset family grid. Moreover, if some of your attributes have different values per locale, you can add the attribute several times and select the locale(s) to edit. No doubt it will save you a tremendous amount of time!

Add guidelines to your attributes

You can now have a short text displayed under each of your attributes in your product form. Use this feature to show guidelines to your teams or contributors so they better understand what is expected for an attribute, or simply guide them through the attribute prerequisites.

To add attribute guidelines, go to your Attributes settings page and look for the right section, as shown below.

Import and export your users, roles and groups

Type: New  |  Feature: Productivity  |  Available in Serenity EE and GE since late March  |  📖 Read the doc

We introduced new job profiles to allow you to import and export your users, their roles, and their groups. All these jobs are available in CSV and XLSX. They can be very handy in case of a mass edition of your users.

Browse your Events API logs

Type: New  |  Feature: Connectivity  |  Available in Serenity EE and GE since late March  |  📖 Read the doc

To ease the debugging of your Events API-based connections, we introduced a brand new monitoring screen to display the Events API logs, from info and notices to warnings and even errors. A great addition to help you find the root causes of synchronization problems and also, without a doubt, a welcomed time-saver to understand what happened on your connections!

You can find this new screen in the Event logs menu of each connection. Note that you can use the date and level filters to narrow down the selection of displayed logs.

Finally, you can also download these logs in .txt format.
