## February 2021

### UX improvements

This month we’ve been working on improving the way users interact when creating and using dashboards:

- **Search option in the gadget catalog**: With more than 60 different gadgets has become difficult to find the one you’re looking for. That’s why we’ve added search capabilities, so you can find easier the right one!
- **Confirmation dialog to delete gadgets**: Sorry for deleting your gadgets without asking, we know, accidents happen, but no more!
- **Full screen dashboard catalog and gadget configuration**: We won’t let the space constraint your dreams!

### Improvements in the Releases gadget

The [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RDD/pages/146309696](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RDD/pages/146309696) gadget comes with several improvements, ideal to report company wide projects and their releases, for example in a given quarter:

- It's now **multi project**, so you don’t have to add several gadgets when you handle different projects.
- The **estimation statistic** is configurable, choose how the work in the releases is accounted for: Story points (company-managed projects, former classic projects), Story points estimate (team-managed projects, former next-gen projects), Original time estimate or Issue count.
- The **number of releases** to be retrieved.
- The **release status** of the retrieved releases: Released, unreleased and archived.
- The **period to retrieve**. Note that the *release date* is only mandatory for those releases with status *released*. Thus, only releases with a release date within the specified period of time are retrieved.

### Performance improvements

We’ve reduced the payload and number of requests when gadgets request data, quicker is better!
