Product Updates - April 14, 2025

Factory BUILD

New Features & Improvements

• Restrict Pausing/Resuming of Shared Deployed Pipelines

  • Production-shared pipelines can no longer be paused from non-production workspaces, preventing users from accidentally pausing them and negatively impacting production

• Remove Shared Pipeline Reference

  • Users can now remove the reference to a shared deployed pipeline, offering more control and flexibility to edit pipelines in development workspaces.

• Archived Workspaces Optimization

  • Archived workspaces are now split into a separate API call, improving the load time of active workspaces in the Workspace Manager.

• Reduce Operator Removed from UI

  • The Reduce operator has been removed from the Operator Library UI because it does not perform well in Multiplayer environments.

  • This is the first step toward its eventual deprecation.

  • Existing pipelines using Reduce will continue to function, and users can still manually define it in JSON mode.

Bug Fixes

• Improved Pipeline Garbage Collection

  • Added retry logic and a scheduled cleanup job to ensure orphaned pipelines are properly removed when no longer referenced by a workspace.

• RTF Display Name

  • Improved error message for cases where the Runtime Field display name is left empty.

• Manage Extensions UI

  • Fixed misalignment issues with breadcrumbs on the Manage Extensions page.

• Preview Actions Fixes

  • Resolved issues with the “Download with Filters” and “Open in New Tab” buttons in the Preview interface.

Factory ANALYZE

Bug Fixes

• Resolved recently introduced issue where the Data Visualization application was returning data for Calendar Day time ranges instead of Production Day.
