That visual rules builder looks interesting. That might take up a chunk of the long weekend.

I noticed you were struggling to keep your excitement under the beta covers. You can finally spread the word. You're welcome to use the gif to make your point

Has that post really been up for 9 days? If I manually check for updates it shows it's there but otherwise the usual notification on the main page is showing nothing. I also thought I received notifications of anything in that topic. And of course, as usual, I may have missed it. This is news to me, wonderful news. I was starting to wonder if dashboards were being abandoned.

The release notes are compiled privately based on beta iterations, so yes, the post for the public release notes was created 9 days ago, but was only made public today.

I'm thinking more my committment to support an.... alternative.... Happy to have much of it now supported in-house As much I dabble in UI in various ways, happy for others to take the lead on drag-and-drop

Does this change your current dash ? ( kinda like my current one )
Or you have to make a new one ?

[bobbyD]

@WarlockWeary

you have to make a new one ?

It's all new dashboard, built from the ground up, based on years worth of feedback from our users. As a separate app, there is no transition between existing dashboards to the newly released easy dashboard.

[WarlockWeary]

LOL just woke up .. not sure what you said
Sooo .. I can have BOTH ? old and new ? The update does not change your current one ?
and you have to make a new one with the new app ?

[sburke781]

The best of both worlds.... People can make a simple dashboard more easily than they could before, but if you want something more refined, you still have the same control you always had with CSS.... or some "simpler" method to produce it....

[bobbyD]

@WarlockWeary

can have BOTH ?

Yes

@WarlockWeary

update does not change your current one ?

It doesn't

@WarlockWeary

you have to make a new one with the new app ?

Yes

[WarlockWeary]
