We’ve introduced 3 new custom fields - Date, Checkbox, and Radio button fields, in addition to the existing custom fields in Orchestly. Learn more about these new fields. 

 

Enhanced audit logs

We’ve enhanced Audit Logs to cover user activities extensively. Previously, only the Organization Admin was allowed to view Audit Logs. Now, users with relevant profile permissions will be able to view the Logs. Learn more about Audit Logs.

We're working on documenting more customer-centric use cases for Orchestly. If you are looking for any specific content materials that would assist better, do let us know!
 
What’s next? 
  • We are working on educative ‘How-to’ videos explaining individual modules of Orchestly.
