Announcement: Code Freeze
Kibo has entered its "code freeze" for the peak holiday season, in which no more updates will be pushed to production tenants. Changes will continue to be added to sandbox environments per the below schedule and will be released to production on January 8, 2024:
- Version 1.2342: October 31
- Version 1.2344: November 15
- Version 1.2346: November 29
- Version 1.2348: December 12
Production Sandbox Features
Commerce
- Location Groups Update: The BPM workflow names displayed in Location Group configurations now display the more readable workflow name, instead of the ID field. This makes the options more user-friendly while selecting a group's preferred BPM.
Fulfillment
- Shipping Manifest Settings: New tenant settings are now available in the Fulfiller UI theme to support a selectable time frame when creating shipping manifests. To utilize these settings, Kibo Support should first enable a dropdown on the Create Manifests page that allow the user to filter eligible shipments from within the selected number of days. The tenant settings will determine the default selection and the maximum number of days available in the dropdown. See the documentation for more details.
Search
- Boost-Bury Enhancements: Additional options have been added to the available merchandizing fields, allowing you to now boost or bury products based on their Margin, Sales Rank, and First Available Date. These enhancements are being released to sandbox for testing but may not be ready for all clients, so they are not yet enabled by default. Please contact Kibo Support if you're interested in trying out these fields right now.
Subscriptions
- Subscriptions UI: A subscriptions dashboard is now available at Main > Subscriptions, allowing you to more easily access subscriptions without having to go through the order or customer details first. This UI displays a searchable grid of all subscriptions on your tenant, which you can click to view and edit the subscription details. For more information, see the Manage Subscriptions guide.
Sandbox Bug Fixes
| Service | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Commerce | The Add Group button was not displayed under the System > Permissions > Groups menu where it was expected to be found. This has been fixed so that the group button is visible again. |
| Fulfiller | Product extra values were not being displayed on the Fulfiller UI unless the stringValue field was populated in API data, which was optional and not always provided. This has been fixed so that the UI will display the expected value field for product extras if a stringValue is not provided. |
