Changelog 8

December 22, 2022

What's New in Verve

We're thrilled to share significant advances in our vision for connected engineering and combining both Requirements and Digital Thread.  Our latest release brings improvements in user experience and data connectivity, and our team has been working behind the scenes to ensure smooth operations for all our customers.

  • We have a new user Home Screen so folks can understand how their system is actively evolving.
  • We've built out integrations for Jira, Confluence and Google Sheets, which we call "RemoteResources".
  • Users can watch items and be informed via Email and on the Home Screen when those items change.

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

User Home Screen

Remote Resources: Google Sheets, Atlassian

gsheet 2

We've created tighter integrations with key tools, starting with our Jira, Confluence, and Google Sheets integration. We can track the specific Atomic engineering attribute to the specific GSheet cell, or the reference Figure into a Confluence Page.
