In our latest release, KaiNexus Version 3.1.3, we streamlined the Chart editing experience, deployed massive Milestone upgrades that will give you even more customization options, and made enhancements to improve your quality of life in KaiNexus. Keep reading to learn about all the sweet treats that await you! 

Release 3.1.3 is scheduled for this Friday, October 27th.

Check out some highlights below:

Enhanced Chart Data Entry

We made significant improvements to data entry on Charts. This release makes adding or editing data in your charts much more intuitive! While working with Chart data, you can now navigate between cells using the arrows on your keyboard and quickly add rows by pressing “enter” at the end of a row. Additionally, you can now copy the value in one cell to all remaining cells in the column. Find the small blue dot in the bottom corner of your selected cell when you want to use this feature to speed up your data entry. This new experience will feel like you are working with a spreadsheet. 

Updated Approver Users on Milestones

We are deploying massive upgrades to the Milestone Module in this release. One improvement was that we expanded the customization options for Milestone Approvers, giving you more control and flexibility over who approves your Milestones. Previously, you could only define the System and Team Roles eligible to approve a Milestone. Now, you can not only specify individual Users capable of approving a Milestone, but you can also assign Milestone approvals to specific people. If Milestone Assigning is enabled, you can pick from the pool of eligible Approvers and choose one or multiple people to assign the Milestone approval to. The assigned Milestone Approvers will receive notifications when the Milestone is submitted, prompting them to perform the approval. 

Milestone Approved/Not Approved Actions

Another new feature is the Milestone Approved/Not Approved Actions. Now, you can prompt Users to take certain actions after they approve or deny Milestones. You now have the option to present Milestone Approvers with a window that cues them to perform certain actions immediately after they approve or deny a Milestone, helping make your workflows more intuitive. For example, if a manager did not sign off on the Milestone, it would bring the User to the defer window in order to add notes and a review by date. 

Enhancements to Milestones on Item Lists

We redesigned Milestone columns in Item Lists. Each current Milestone will be listed clearly and have a Status indicator. Now, when you click on the Milestone column, details about your Milestone will appear rather than about the Item. Lastly, we spruced up the Detail view of Items with Milestones to cleanly present the most relevant information.

There are so many amazing new features coming out in this release! In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with configuring these new features, be sure to reach out to your KaiNexus Customer Success Manager.
