August 8 – Release Notes

Discover the latest updates and improvements to Kognitos.

This week's release includes several bug fixes and feature enhancements to improve platform stability, performance, and user workflows.

⚡ Enhancements

We've made the following enhancements:

Run Parallelization Improvements

We've made updates to run parallelization to improve automation flow and management.

Previously, when a parent process was waiting on child runs, users had to manually check that all child processes had completed and then click Continue to resume execution. With the latest improvements, after waiting for child processes:

• The parent process is automatically notified of which child runs have completed.

• The parent process continues without requiring manual action from the user.

Additionally, users also no longer need to set the department's max retry wait count.

Enhanced Table Querying

Users can now perform SQL queries that join two tables together using the query a table procedure. This enhancement allows for more complex data analysis by enabling operations like inner and left joins directly across multiple tables. For example:

create a sample table
extract a subtable from the sample table
the included row selection formula is @{"type": "selection_formula", "value": "City != 'San Francisco'"}
use the above as the other table
query the sample table with
    the sql query is "SELECT * FROM df JOIN df1 ON df.City = df1.City"
    the other table is the other table

🐛 Bug Fixes

We’ve resolved the following issues in this release:

• Adding Collaborators: Resolved an issue where adding a collaborator would fail if their email address was entered with different capitalization than a previous entry. The system now correctly treats collaborator emails as case-insensitive.

• Document Previews: Resolved an issue where the document preview for a starred data element would fail to load if it was closed and then reopened. The preview will now reliably display the correct content each time it is accessed.

• Extract Data: Resolved a caching issue in Playgrounds where modifying and re-running an extract data step could incorrectly use results from a previous extraction. The cache is now properly updated to ensure fresh and accurate results on each run.

• Process Creation: Resolved an issue with saving empty processes. The Save button is now disabled when a process is empty, preventing the creation of invalid processes.

• Process Visualization: Resolved an issue with process visualizations within demo agents.
