Release notes – OutNav

March 2024

You can now download an image of your outcome map from the Map Outcomes page, or an image of an individual pathway from the Track Progress page.

Improvements to the process of building an outcome map - you can now edit and delete stepping stones directly from the Map Outcomes page, without being taken to a separate page for each stepping stone. You can also move stepping stones to different columns of the map simply by dragging and dropping them.
Improvements to the Define Steps tab of the Project Settings page. It is now quicker and easier to manage your project's step headings, including moving their positions, editing and deleting them without needing to go to a separate page.
Various back-end improvements.

Major update to Organisation Settings page, improving the process of adding new members to an organisation and managing their permissions. Organisation Administrators can now add users to an organisation and set their project permissions at the same time.
Update to Project Settings page, improving the process of managing user permissions within individual projects.
Update to how help sessions work - instead of having to join drop-in sessions at specific times, you can now book a 15-minute help session with one of our team at a time that suits you.
When choosing how long a live report will remain accessible, the dropdown menu will now show you the exact date when it will expire.

Update to Dashboard, with new dropdown menus giving a quick overview of the pathways and people associated with each project.
Various back-end changes to improve performance, particularly on the Project Overview page.

New Dashboard released, replacing the Organisation Home page. The list of projects now displays more information about each project and provides more options for interacting with them. The layout has also changed, with the community notices now appearing on the right hand side of the page.

Sources tab on Project Overview page updated to Data Manager, which gives a better overview of the sources and evidence files included in your project, and allows you to sort and manage them.

Update to the way parent and child projects interact, meaning changes made to analysis at the stepping stone and step summary level will no longer carry over from one to the other.
Changes to the layout and design of the Project Overview page, including moving the activity feed to a sidebar that can be opened and closed with a button in the top right.

The User Settings page now includes the Notification Preferences tab, allowing you to choose which types of notification to receive, and to enable a daily or weekly email digest of your task notifications.
Evidence standards can now be quickly viewed using the magnifying glass icon on the Update Analysis page.
Evidence standards can now be customised, or reset to default, from the Project Settings page.

Some small changes to wording (such as changing "no progress" to "low progress" in stepping stone progress ratings).

Reports can now be given custom names.
Improvements to how images appear in Word reports. They should now appear where they were placed in the analysis, rather than at the end of each section. They should also appear at a more manageable size.
