Changelog 5

Whats New in Verve

I'm incredibly excited about our most significant release yet. In our latest update, the three biggest additions are the Merge flow, Item Status Icons, and File Management.

• For the Merge flow, we're unveiling this as a public beta feature. This allows teams to work independently on branches, and subsequently resolve these branched projects by seeing an easy side-by-side diff and choosing which part of the project to keep.
• For Item Status Icons, we've added visual status indicators for all the item types, allowing a user to easily see if an item has been approved, if a verification event has been verified, or if a requirement needs review and has incomplete verification events. For more of the logic that goes into determining which icon means what, please visit our help section regarding status icons.
• For File Management, you can now access all historic versions of a file you've uploaded, and they're tracked along with your team's branching and merging actions as your project scales. We've also made it easier to upload and download files, so you can include any filetypes in your systems engineering workflow.

Lastly, we've improved our data onboarding process by moving our Spreadsheet Importer into a web-based feature, accessible upon project creation. We've improved navigation by adding a Search component in the navigation bar, and we've added an expand/collapse ability for users to navigate through their system tree.

Thank you again for your ongoing support, and please let me know directly if theres anything we can do to help you in your effort of building great products.

New: Merge (Beta)

‍

We're releasing the beta version of our Merge flow. This allows for git-like branching and merging operations across entire projects, and allows for individuals to resolve differences between a project's branched state.

New: Item Status Icons

‍

We've added visual status indicators for all the item types, allowing a user to easily see if an item has been approved, if a verification event has been verified, or if a requirement needs review and has incomplete verification events. For more info about the logic that goes into determining which icon means what, please visit help section regarding status icons.

This is reflected in our Verification Matrix dashboard as well. The icon shown next to a Requirement represents the computed state considering all the associated Verification Events, while the icon shown next to the Verification Event upon hover represents that specific Verification Event's state.

Updated: File uploads, and historic data access

‍

‍

Did you know Verve supports file uploads? With our latest release, you can step back through the entire history of revised files uploaded and shared via Verve, and track discussions about these file changes in the Activity Log.

New: Spreadsheet Import Wizard

‍

We've streamlined the import process of a CSV spreadsheet by moving it to our web app. Whenever you create a new project, you'll be asked if you want to upload a spreadsheet.

New: Search Bar

‍

Quickly jump to an item within your project using the quick search feature.
