New features

• Ability to expand one level in the hierarchy view at once, with a single click is now live
• Customisable UpRaise dashboards are here
• Now KR based progress calculation shows the linkage both ways. Earlier it was only possible to see which KRs current KR depends on (from the KR details page). However, with this change - now you can even tell what other KRs current KR is linked with
• Recently there were complaints that the Objective cycle statuses were not updated automatically based on dates. While that should still continue to work as expected, if there is a situation where it doesn’t - then the buttons are displayed on screen so that the action can be initiated by the user

Bugs

• If you were using the KR based progress calculation, there was a corner case in which it became impossible to delete an involved KR - this is now corrected
• Carry forward option is now displayed even for ‘Ready to close’ objectives. Earlier it was available only on ‘Ready for grading’ objectives

New features

• New feedback permissions were introduced to implicitly allow direct & indirect managers to view the feedback even if not explicitly shared.
• It is now possible to add/edit/delete comments on Team member & Reviewer type of forms, once distributed. Soon we will make this possible on other base templates as well.

Bugs

• With metric KR progress automation via JQL, if the JQL returned 0 results - app wasn’t updating the current value to 0. That is now corrected.
• Project restrictions related bug fixed where users were not able to add Jira issues as KRs in a specific set up.

💥 Potentially breaking changes, please read the details below💥

We are now moving the Employee Success server app to our new consolidated platform. We have been working on this migration project for more than 6 months now.

Must do -

• This version involves potentially breaking changes, thus ensure that you are verifying this first on a test Jira instance where your previous data is restored.
• Please perform this upgrade on your production Jira instance over the weekend to avoid any potential downtime.
• This is a milestone release. Meaning, Before the earlier versions can upgrade to any version that is higher than 5.0, they have to first upgrade to 5.0 & then only they can jump to the desired one (e.g. 5.3 whenever it is released)
• At the time of upgrade, all the UpRaise screens will be blocked from access & you will be able to see a migration in progress screen.

For further detailed instructions, refer these release notes.

• Compatibility with Jira 8.13
• Bug fixes
  • Grade option was failing for closed OKRs, now fixed
  • Another error at the time of upgrade from a very old version now addressed.

✅ We strongly recommend verifying the new version on a test environment before promoting it to your production Jira.

• Minor bug fix where ‘Give feedback' action was giving an error in a specific scenario.
• Jira 8.8.1 compatibility
