2024 – TolaData Release Notes

4th June 2024 – TolaData Release Notes

New features:

• Our ‘Discussion’ feature has now been integrated into the ‘Activity’ module. This allows users to engage in discussions at both the Activity plan level and the individual activity level.
• The background tasks that manage items within dashboard widgets and calculate results in the ‘Result Summary’ section have been improved for more accurate and timely updates.
• A survey form, which is triggered upon login, was added to the platform to collect customer feedback.
• Improved the display of the indicator list in the activity section to include both indicator numbers and names, assisting users in quickly identifying the correct indicator.

Fixes:

• An instance of a broken link within the ‘Change Log’, on the indicator level, was fixed which redirects users to the ‘Collected data item’ that they would like to consult.
• A fix was deployed to enable ‘Org Admins’ to delete forms that have not been associated with a ‘Workspace’ or ‘Project’.
• Fixed the mapping of the dashboard styles against the disaggregated pie chart labels to ensure that colours were consistent across charts and went in order of the assigned colour scheme.
• The ‘Sum’ formula was removed as an available calculation option for aggregated ‘Percentage’ indicators.
• A fix has been deployed to ensure that, if a disaggregation type from a contributing indicator of an aggregate indicator is unlinked, the disaggregated charts within the dashboard of the aggregate indicator will remain unaffected.
• Resolved an issue where the system was incorrectly multiplying disaggregation values twice when extracting data from a datatable. This problem occurred when users attempted to retrieve data for a disaggregation range and converted the datatable column from numeric to percentage.
• A glitch, within the ‘Text and Image’ dashboard widget, where uploaded images were being displayed as broken, was fixed.

7th May 2024 – TolaData Release Notes

New features:

• A new timestamp column has been added to datatables capturing responses to TolaData forms. This column logs the date and time of each entry.

Fixes:

• A maximum limit of 50 ‘Cost Unit’ and ‘Topic’ labels was implemented.
• A validation warning, reflecting the backend’s character limit, was added to the ‘Name’ cell, located in the ‘Details’ section of a Workspace.
• Aesthetic improvement made to ensure that the font found within the ‘Workspace’ section and the entries listed under the ‘Collected data’ tab was consistent and of an appropriate size.

18 April 2024 – TolaData Release Notes

New features:

• Added a new feature to allow users to group workspaces by their ‘Cost unit’ and relevant ‘Topic’. Org Admin users can define these categories within the ‘Admin Console’ section of their account. These categories have also been included among the filters available on the ‘Workspace’ level to enable users to access them more efficiently. 

Fixes:

• Aesthetic improvement made within the comment and reply windows, in the ‘Discussion’ feature part of the app, to prevent the occurrence of a double scrollbar. 
• A fix was deployed to an importation glitch, in the preview phase of importation, that caused certain ‘Integer’ columns to be read as ‘Text’ when there were no values in the first row of the dataset.

08 April 2024 – TolaData Release Notes

New features:

• Added new ‘Activities Bulk Import Template’ to facilitate the fast importation of a projects activity plan. This template includes columns to allow users to define their Activity, Task & Subtask name and hierarchy as well as additional supplementary information such as their timeline, Progress, and status as a Milestone etc. 
• Configuration enhancement made to line graph charts within the ‘Dashboard’ section to allow users to choose the type of Y-axis they would prefer. A new check box was added to the line graph, found under Widget Type ‘Time-based results: % achieved over time’,  which asks users if they would like the Y-axis of their line graph to start at ‘0’ rather than the graphs default setting to start from number which reflects the first percentage value achieved by the indicator.

Fixes:

• Aesthetic fix deployed to ensure that ‘Disaggregation column values’ display when users review Collected Data entries. 
• Amended a typo found in the display of standard reporting periods, under the ‘Reporting Periods’ tab, which had incorrectly stated the start date of the fourth quarter of the quarterly reporting period. 
• Fixed an error that prevented the download of the ‘Countries of operation’ and ‘Stakeholders’ export files within the ‘Admin Console’.
• Fixed instances in the app where the user’s preferred language was not automatically being reflected on the UI.

New features:

• Added new ‘Auto-pull’ feature enabling automated data importation.This automation allows users to configure a totally automated data flow from data collection to reporting. Users can configure form responses to feed, in real-time, to their indicator plans to update their actuals and by extension the results that are reflected on their dashboards. This feature has also been built to integrate with other 3rd party data collection tools such as Aam Digital.

• Added additional Project filters: Project ID, Start date, End date.
• Linked the TolaData colour scheme to the auto-generated disaggregated time-based results charts within the ‘Results summary’ of both aggregated and non-aggregated indicators.
• Developed a feature to prompt users to add disaggregated data if a disaggregation type is linked to their indicator. This feature is intended to further improve the quality of data entries. 
• Aesthetic improvement made to the File Upload capacity bar, found in the ‘Organisation details’ tab of the ‘Admin Console’. Once the file storage capacity of an organisation reaches 80% the capacity bar will transition from a blue to a red colour.

Fixes:

• Glitch resolved which could allow users to override a past Approval decision when editing an Approval submission.
