Hi Community,

Customer feedback deserves love. So in the first quarter of the year, we launched a new experience for the ideas area. Great customer engagement and gold nuggets now head to engineering.

                                     17 teams collaborated to organize 2700 ideas.

Each quarter, we will be sharing our Ideas Board and letting you know about what we’ve updated in the past quarter.

Let's look at what you did in Q1

 IMPLEMENTED

Frontend

I'm happy to announce that, as of version 10.0.807.0 of Service Studio (now in RC), it is possible to change the properties of several objects in bulk.

This idea, in particular, had more than 126 likes and more than 531 views, and we have just finished launching it.

Select part of an action flow and "Refactor to action"

Backend

I'm happy to announce that a new Extract to Action command was introduced in version 10.0.0.716. It will allow you to extract and reuse complicated logic that you created in a different place. Just select the piece of logic and click! Your action is now reusable :)
