Adoption Over Time Chart

We are thrilled to introduce the "Adoption Over Time" chart in the Next Identity Console. This chart is designed to clearly visualize how your organization adopts various security and functionality features over time. This interactive chart displays the adoption rate of clients and potential clients over selected time periods, providing valuable insights for strategic planning and adoption tracking.

With this feature, you can:

• Track and visualize Client Adoption against the Total Clients potential, offering insights into your feature adoption trends.
• Filter the data by specific features, including security protocols like Biometric authentication, Two-step verification, and Fraud detection, to pinpoint adoption rates.
• Select different periods for analysis, ranging from the past week to custom spans, allowing for flexible, time-sensitive insights.

This tool is essential for administrators aiming to enhance their organization's adoption strategies and understand feature utilization better. Dive deeper into how the "Adoption Over Time" feature can transform your feature adoption strategies by exploring our detailed guide.

Enhancements

Unify

• SMS Notification Expansion: We've broadened our notification services to include SMS alerts, enhancing communication with users by sending timely updates directly to their mobile phones. This initiative supports our commitment to improving user experience and engagement.
• Translations Feature Improvements: We've enhanced the Translations feature in the Next Identity Console by refining filter options and correcting field labels for an improved user experience. Now, navigating through translations is more intuitive, with dynamic updates for precise navigation, and the 'Applied' field accurately reflects user selections, ensuring clarity and usability.

Operate

• App Type Enhancements in Client Details and Search Filters: We've streamlined user interactions by introducing the "App Type" attribute in both the Client Details section and as a filter within Inventory and Advanced Search. This dual update not only provides immediate insight into application types directly from the Client Details view but also allows for more refined and efficient searches across the platform, enhancing data management and operational workflows.

General

• Terminology Update from "Customer" to "Company": We've updated our platform terminology to better reflect our user base and enhance clarity across the Next Identity Console, ensuring a more intuitive experience.

Infrastructure

• Automated Testing Upgrade: We've improved our automated testing infrastructure with advanced testing capabilities, ensuring more stable and reliable outcomes.

Bug Fixes

Secure

• Filter Persistence Fix on Environment Change: We've addressed an issue in the Next Identity Console where changing environments did not accurately retain applied filters. Users can now expect consistent behavior and results when navigating across different environments.

• Authentication Code Validity Extension: Resolved a bug affecting the expiration of authentication codes. Previously, these codes would expire after only 30 seconds, not aligning with our security baseline of 1-minute validity. This fix guarantees that users have the full intended duration to use their authentication codes, thus improving both the security and usability of the Next Identity Console.
