This release brings a round of updates across the dashboard, with most of the changes landing on the Tasks page and the side menu you navigate with.

A calmer side menu

The side menu had grown busy, so we've tidied it up. Every item now has a custom icon, and we've toned down the color so the navigation sits back and your content stands out.

New task icons and filtering by type

We've added a new kind of task: the agent task. To tell the types apart at a glance, every task type now has its own icon: standard, scheduled, and agent. The same icons power a new filter on the Tasks page, so you can narrow the list to just the type you're working with.

24-hour activity charts

The activity charts on the Tasks page now cover the last 24 hours. The shorter window gives you a more granular read on what's happening right now: which tasks are busy, which just spiked, which have gone quiet.

Every task gets its own overview page

Clicking a task used to drop you straight into its list of runs. Now each task opens a dedicated overview page: key metrics up top, the run list below, the task's metadata alongside, and a direct link to test it.

The Test button moved

There used to be a single Test page in the side menu. With three task types that each need a different test interface, one page no longer fit, so we've moved testing closer to the task itself. Two ways in: hover any row on the Tasks page and the Test button appears on the right, or open a task and find Test in the top right of its overview page.
