Release Notes

New Custom Field Audit 

In this release, we have introduced a new report that helps you gain insights into how custom fields are used in your Jira instance. Using this report can help you understand your custom fields and identify those that have been created by apps.

Microscope UI Changes

We have made some improvements to the Microscope UI that allow you to create your reports without navigating away from the Insights dashboard! You'll notice that we have removed the menu navigation on the left side panel of your screen. Instead, you now simply need to run your reports from the Create Report button.

As a result of these changes, we have updated our documentation too.

1.12.1

 

Insights Dashboard Bug Fixed

We have fixed a bug that caused the Total users and Active users count on the Insights dashboard page to be incorrect. Both user counts displayed an incorrect value—we have fixed this and the values are now accurate.

Workflow Audit Bug Fixed

We have fixed a bug that caused an error when you select Run scan on the Workflow Audit page. In version 1.12.0, the error "Could not create a workflow.csv report" displayed when you selected Run scan—we have fixed this and the report is created as expected.

1.12.0

 

Pre-defined Time Frames

It's now possible to choose from a list of pre-defined time frames when exporting an audit report from the Insights dashboard. The new time frames are useful when you are assessing the impact of a change and are the same time frames as provided on the dashboard page. For example, to filter the results that statistics are performed on, you can select an interval such as 30 days, 60 days, and so on.

Screenshot for Reports

A screenshot of the entire Insights dashboard page is now provided when you export a report, using the Create Report button, from the Insight Dashboard page.

Fixed Typo

We have fixed a typo on the Insights dashboard page where the word 'days' repeated in the Users section.

1.11.1

 

Bug Fix for 504 Gateway Timeout Notification

A short reverse proxy idle timeout caused a 504 Gateway Timeout notification to displayNow, when generating large reports using the Create Report button on the Insights Dashboard, the report runs to completion without displaying any timeout notifications. 

Note that if you are using the legacy User, Project, and Workflow Audit pages, it is still possible to get the 504 gateway timeout. However, It is recommended that you use Create Report instead.

New Dashboard

Audit your Jira instance, gain critical insights to help assess your migration needs, and quickly identify cost and time-saving opportunities with the new Insights dashboard.

Microscope already gives you convenient access to detailed information about your Jira instance. The new Insights dashboard allows you to drill down into minute detail and look for inefficiencies or redundancies. It provides instant access to useful information about your Jira instance, not just the raw data. Armed with this knowledge, you can make plans to review your migration strategy or clean up your instance based on accurate information.

What's included on the Insights page?
This new page is your one-stop shop for all information about your instance. It contains analyses on:

  • Users
    View how many of your users are active against the backdrop of all users within the system. Active users are those that have logged in within the last 90 days.

  • Projects
    Identify which of your projects receive regular contributions. A project is considered active by the system if it has one or more issues that have been opened or updated within the last 90 days.

  • Issues
    Streamline your searches by reducing the workload. Here we illustrate how many issues, contained within projects, are actually active.

  • Workflows
    Gain direct access to metrics about how many of your workflows are active. A workflow is active when it is associated with at least one project.

  • Workflow Functions
    View how many workflow functions were created by apps and are associated with active workflows.

  • Custom Fields
    Build an understanding of your custom fields, distinguishing those created by apps.

  • Attachments & Apps
    Get a rundown of the quantity and size of attachments in your instance whilst being able to see apps that are enabled and disabled.

In essence, the new dashboard reduces time spent on manual data processing by providing a report with key configurations within minutes!
