Enterprise Dashboard
Social Proof Reporting Enhanced with Graphical Visualizations
We have introduced an update to our Social Proof reporting feature, empowering Digital Optimization Managers to make data-driven decisions with ease. Now, you can access graphical visualizations (graphs) for key metrics like Visits within the selected date range and channel. These visualizations provide daily trends, giving you valuable insights similar to our successful MVT and Dynamic Experience reporting.
With the new graphical visualizations, analyzing the performance of your Social Proof campaigns becomes effortless. Enjoy the power of visual insights with our latest update!

Rec Type Analysis - Enhanced Currency Filtering in Summary Tab
We have introduced an enhancement to the Rec Type Analysis feature, providing Digital Optimization Managers with more accurate and insightful data. With the new update, you can now see a summary for each currency separately, allowing you to analyze attributable sales more effectively.
The addition of the currency filter in the summary tab enables you to view data specific to the selected currency, providing a more comprehensive understanding of your results. As always, the default currency remains available for ease of use, just like other reports.

Thoughtspot Cloud Migration - Visualization Config Update
We have successfully completed the migration of Thoughtspot from the existing software version to the cloud version. As part of this migration, all visualizations were exported and imported, and a new configuration file was created. This file now contains updated visualization IDs, mapping them to the correct metrics and dimensions.
With this update, visualizations are now pointed to the appropriate configuration based on the dashboard settings, showing the relevant visualizations and tables for Thoughtspot Cloud in each report. Additionally, we have enabled Thoughtspot Cloud reports for all four locations, and the visualization configuration has been validated for specific metrics.

Composite Outfit UI - Product Exclusion Feature
We have introduced the Outfit Exclusion feature in the Composite Outfit UI that allows merchandisers to exclude specific products from the outfits associated with a given seed. With this enhancement, merchandisers have more control over the outfits displayed to shoppers, ensuring a tailored and relevant experience.
When viewing the outfits for a particular seed product, users can now select one or more products and remove them from the outfits. As a result, the outfits that include the excluded product will be automatically removed from the list, and the sorting order will be updated accordingly.
Additionally, merchandisers have the ability to review the list of excluded products and the outfits associated with each excluded product. If needed, they can easily include a previously excluded product back into the outfits. This action triggers an update to the list of outfits, reflecting the new sorting order based on the product's ranks.

Composite Outfit UI - Outfit Exclusion Feature
We have introduced the Outfit Exclusion feature in the Composite Outfit UI that empowers merchandisers to have greater control over the outfits displayed to shoppers. Merchandisers can now selectively exclude one or more outfits from the list of outfits associated with a seed product, allowing for more curated and personalized outfit recommendations. The exclusion of outfits is immediate, and the sorting order is automatically updated to reflect the changes.
Moreover, merchandisers can easily review the list of excluded outfits and include them back into the list if needed. This feature offers enhanced flexibility and control, enabling merchandisers to create a personalized and compelling shopping experience.

Enterprise Dashboard & MVT
Browse Sitewide MVT Configuration - Saving Bug Fix
We have resolved an issue with the Browse Sitewide MVT configuration that was causing problems with saving changes. Previously, after the initial save, buttons and links became unresponsive, requiring a page reload and re-editing the treatment to apply further changes. With this fix, the saving functionality is now seamless and uninterrupted, allowing for smooth configuration processes.
Jira: ENG-26273
Find
New Metric - End-to-End Application Latency Tracking
We have introduced a new metric to track the end-to-end application latency of search requests from RRserver to the search service. Previously, this latency was not being monitored, and for completeness and performance analysis, it was necessary to create a dedicated metric for this purpose.
With the implementation of the new metric, the team can now accurately trace the additional latency added by the cluster service application during search requests.

We have fixed an issue where outfits were not being excluded for a particular client in the Composite Outfit feature.

Engage: Issue with guided Selling component while editing the Variant |
We have resolved an issue with the Guided Selling component while editing the variant. The problem was introduced by a UX improvement that showed API client keys as a dropdown menu, causing non-employees to face access privilege issues with the API. To address this, we have removed the feature from Guided Selling. The issue has been fixed. The clientAPI is no longer triggered when selecting the guided selling template on the 'template' page. |
