What’s new in Favro

You can now reorder fields in the card view allowing you to better fit your team's work with Favro:

• Board owners can reorder fields as they wish.
• If you add a card from one board to the other, the fields from the originating board will be added last to the target board.

One board can now have different views selected in different collections. This makes it easier to build dashboards where different collections can show different views:

• One collection can be a team collection.
• That team board can show all bugs in another collection.
• That team board can display a burndown in a third collection.

You can now reorder tags and members on a card making daily work quicker and less cumbersome.

Break down a card with a template, for example:

• Product epics to product grooming boards or backlog.
• Marketing campaigns or big projects into task boards.
• Big company initiatives to work boards.

Card ID is now available in sheets view:

• Add Card ID by clicking + in a sheet.
• Click on Card ID to directly copy a link to the card.
• Filter on Card ID (all views).
• Card ID has been visually updated in all views.

Having the Relations column provides detailed information about where the card is, in what board/collection, and what is its current status. It can also be used to monitor specific teams work or have the connection between different board status fields.

You can now export a board as:

• Microsoft Excel.
• Comma Separated Values (CSV).
• JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

Timeline view improvements:

• Lanes in board timeline view.
• Additional data on cards like status, time on board, custom fields can be displayed.

In Favro you can now:

• Add images and files in comments.
• Look at the activity feed to see which images and files have been added to a card or collection.

The Favro <> Jira integration has been updated and now:

• Supports two way user sync
• Sync via webhooks
• Jira data center support
• Automations integration
• Many bugs fixed for more robustness
• Polished UI

Now you can structure your collections in folders:

• Add color to folders
• Search for folders when adding or moving cards
• Starred is now prioritized above pinned
• Star and pin individual collections within folders

Favro now has support to share links (or so called "viewer accounts") with collection and board data:

• Securely share links with anyone in your company without paying for extra users
• On the Enterprise plan, let users open cards and read comments. Users can sign up to leave a comment
• Share links outside of your company, like to a community of users

Favro's API has been updated and expanded:

• Full support for all custom field types
• Getting a rich text format in markdown from card descriptions
• Bug fixes
• Updated documentation https://favro.com/developer

With Favro's new Automations, teams can save time, streamline their workflow and increase coordination between teams.

Some examples:

• Create recurring tasks on every time period
• Change the status of a card when it's completed by a team member
• Send a message to people within the organisation when a due date is reached
• Integrate of your build infrastructure via webhooks to move tasks and stories

From now on you can select many rows in a sheet, click and edit one cell, and fill that value to the rest of the cells. This makes it super fast to update a lot of data in a sheet/database.
