KaiNexus 3.2.4 Release Notes

February 7th, 2025

Release Highlights

Introducing three new Cycle Time Reports

Tracking processes and identifying bottlenecks has never been easier. Our three powerful new Cycle Time Reports—by Template, by Item, and Over Time—help you compare workflows, analyze individual Item performance, and monitor trends over time. 

Visualize Cycle Time Data with Graph View

The Cycle Time by Person and Location Reports also received an upgrade. They now feature a Graph view, providing a new visualization that makes comparing cycle times easier than ever. 

Track Activity Trends Over Time

Gain deeper insights into activity trends with the new “Over Time” view in Activity Leaderboard Reports. Now, you can track Item counts by Location, Person, Persona, or Template over a selected time frame—making it easier than ever to identify patterns and spot trends at a glance.

Standardization of Hyperlink behavior

Linking just got smoother. External links now open in a new tab, while internal KaiNexus links default to the same tab for seamless navigation. 

All Enhancements

Cards

• We standardized hyperlink behavior on Freestyle Cards and Link Button Widgets. External links now open in a new tab, while internal KaiNexus links default to the same tab. 
• We’ve expanded embedding capabilities in Freestyle Cards. With the help of your Customer Success Manager, you can define Head Tags, Body Tags, and HTML Sanitizer configurations, allowing you to embed previously unsupported resources, such as Tableau. 

Email

• You can now format text in the body of the Monthly Report Summary Email, allowing for more flexibility and customization. 
• The Monthly Report Summary Email now supports Recurring, Range, and Custom Schedule data in Impact metrics, improving data accuracy.

Framework

• We've optimized login for faster access.
• We improved the performance of the Notifications Window, reducing the time it takes to load your notifications.

Filter

• You can now use the Location criterion in the Item Filter to isolate Items with specific Investment Locations. The ability to differentiate between Impact and Investment Locations will improve accuracy and flexibility in reporting. 

Multi-Language

• You can now export your organization’s Translations as an XLSX file, a task previously limited to KaiNexus staff. 
• Exports now respect the filters you apply on the Translations administration page. Previously, exports included everything, regardless of filtering.

Reports

• Introducing the Cycle Time by Template Report. This report allows you to compare cycle times across your organization’s Templates, helping you pinpoint bottlenecks and identify which processes need improvement. 
• Looking for more detailed insights into an Item’s lifecycle? The Cycle Time by Item Report provides item-specific cycle time data, making it easy to spot outliers and track progress on individual projects. 
• Completing our trio of new cycle time reports is the Cycle Time Over Time Report. It provides a clear view of cycle time trends across different time frames, helping you compare performance over weeks, months, quarters, or years. 
• The Cycle Time by Person and Location Reports also received an upgrade. They now feature a Graph view, providing a new visualization that makes comparing cycle times easier than ever. 
• We've added two new columns—"New to Active" and "Active to Complete"—to the Cycle Time by Person, Location, Item, Template, and Over Time Reports. These columns provide insights into the time it takes to start working on an Item and the time required to complete it once in progress. 
• Activity Leaderboard Reports now include an “Over Time” view, allowing you to track Item counts by Location, Person, Persona, or Template over a selected time frame. This enhancement helps you spot activity trends more effectively.
• When you open a list from an Impact Summary or Impact Over Time Report, there will be a Custom Impact Column displaying the precise data contributing to that metric. 
• We updated the default sort order of Impact Reports in Bowling view to make it more intuitive.
• We improved the accuracy of Item List drill-downs when Impact Reports are filtered for “All Time” data.
• We've expanded the maximum number of x-axis entries in Graph view reports to 53, allowing you to display a full year of weekly data in the Cycle Time Over Time Report.

Standard Work

• Nested Standard Work Items can now inherit their parent’s Location as their Responsible Location. Previously, this option was only available for the Standard Work’s Originating Location. 
• Standard Work can now auto-create on Items submitted into statuses other than New. 

Team

• When a Responsible Person is set on an Item, the Assigner Team Role can no longer be cleared, ensuring it remains filled on all assigned Items.

Template

• If certain Team Roles are required for specific Status transitions, these requirements will now be enforced on the Create Screen when submitting Items directly into that Status. 

Widgets

• You can now specify a currency in the Impact criterion of the Item Filter, making it easier to isolate Items with Impacts in a specific currency. This addition enhances filtering precision and improves the accuracy of Item Lists opened from currency-filtered Widgets.
