Here we go again! 😅 Another sprint is released to your favorite content creation platform! This time with some really nice updates around VPI, the vendor portal, RAW backup and mobile. Enjoy the read!
New Features for Kelvin
Metadata Enrichment for Backup Files
It is now possible to set up metadata enrichment rules for the RAW backup functionality in Kelvin. It's done in the Kelvin settings and follows the known UI we already have in Gamma for metadata rules on presets.
New Features for Gamma
Sample Badge logic
We've refined the sample badge logic to better cover the actual sample situation.
As an example, we will now show a Wardrobe badge if you don't have any dedicated production samples but have a wardrobe sample available.
Reject to the Vendor Portal
We've made it possible to reject vendor provided images back to the vendor portal with rejection information, so that the vendor can adjust the image set.
Request for Photography
If the VPI images are just not good enough, it is now possible to request Photography for a task. This is similar to a rejection and allows for the user to mark up and write comments if needed.
VPI label and filter in all Kanban Views
In all Kanban views, VPI tasks are now marked with a small VPI label, and it's possible to filter tasks by source.
New Features for the Vendor Portal
Submit Non-selects
Non-selects are now also submitted and can be used in photo review to switch out for the final selection.
Better task styling
We have adjusted the task styling and added a cover images for a task! Yeah! 🙌
Submit from Kanban
When a task requirement is met, it is possible to submit from the Kanban. As an example where images are mapped automatically and the request-level is preselection, the user can submit the task without leaving the Kanban.
Auto mapping to the position level
In the case where images are correctly named according to the style guide naming convention, images can be mapped not only to the task itself, but all the way to the position level. In practice in means that you can upload thousands of images and process them in very few clicks.
New Features for Chroma (The Mobile App)
Support search sample in Search screen.
Scan screen can now also scan product codes.
Next and previous buttons when input data in a form (iOS only).
Added delete outfit action & quick action in the Outfit Card
Disable horizontal mode on Android.
Go to collection mode when scanning to add a secondary product to an outfit.
Allow adding deactivated products as secondaries to an outfit.
Other New Features
Allow deactivated product as secondary product
You can now use deactivated products as secondaries for your styling outfits. 🥳
Disabling GPU Rendering in Kelvin & Hue
An unsolved bug in the Electron framework is causing the Kelvin and Hue apps to frequently crash when a kernel extension (typically virus scanning tools) is present on the machine as well. At the moment there is a functioning workaround where the apps will become stable if GPU rendering is disabled. This can now be done via an environment variable.
