Documentation

NEW FEATURE: New content and updates marked with a New! flag
Many of you requested to be able to see what topics are new or have been updated on the documentation site besides getting the list in the weekly status report, so we’ve introduced a New! flag to mark new or updated topics. To make it easier to see if there is something new, we mark the category that includes the updated topic with the flag, and once you open the category, you can see which topic has been updated. We are still fine-tuning this feature to provide the most meaningful information (now it puts the flag on the topic for any change). Please take a look and let us know what you think! Thank you!

UX

Research

Onboarding strategy: We are working on the welcome page of pOS Instances and on the 1-Click Demo Instance Creator. We integrate both into the onboarding flow so users with technical and non-technical background can find how to start to work with pOS.

Design and Development 

• NEW Update the commands cheat sheet in Partner Portal to use pos-cli
• NEW  Template for module resources - Create / Edit module screen The template provides an outline of content to include on the create module page resources section (previously called Description, Documentation, and Support). You can check it under create module page!
• NEW Improve UX of related models query by providing meaningful feedback when invalid arguments are provided (foreign key, related model schema name)
• NEW Screen flow diagrams for Instance and Module processes
• IN REVIEW Data import: batch import performance improvements
• IN REVIEW Token per Instance instead of one global token
• IN REVIEW Multilingual notifications - added `locale` attribute to Email/SMS/API Notifications, which accepts liquid, to evaluate to the locale which should be used for translations
• IN REVIEW Validate Model belongs to the defined ModelSchema - when defining a FormConfiguration with a concrete ModelSchema name as a resource, it will not be possible to use it to update the Model, which belongs to the different ModelSchema
• IN PROGRESS New look and content for the pOS Instance Welcome Page
• IN PROGRESS New look and content for the pOS 1-click demo Instance creator page
• IN PROGRESS Allow users to access their custom request headers via context.headers
