[#1]

The Automated Release Notes and Reports app makes it easier to generate release notes and reports, which leads to more timely updates and improved team collaboration. 

Improved communication enhances collaboration for team leads, developers, product managers, and project managers. It boosts productivity, ensures accurate information sharing, and drives better outcomes for everyone involved.

To enhance the work process, we are excited to announce that in September’s monthly feature roundup, we have added new features in our Automated Release Notes and Reports app. 

Read this article to find out more about the new features and how they can specifically benefit you.

New Features in Automated Release notes and Reports App

 The new features are listed below: 

• Template 4: For time-based release notes for release pages 

We created this release page using template 4, which has a different feel and appearance. If you scroll down, you can see that the list of issues are changing while the release date remains constant. As a new release list appears, the older release date is also scrolled. This provides a nice overview of the issue list, and the release name remains highlighted. 

• New Daily standup report for better team tracking

We have added a Daily Standup Report template that is available in both PDF and email formats. This template contains elements such as dates, logos, users, and JQL sections for retrieving relevant Jira issues. You can customize the template to meet your requirements and automate daily reports for your team. The sample report contains variables such as the project name, sprint details, and a JQL section for users like Bob and David that displays their sprint issues. Upon execution, variables are replaced with actual values, and the PDF is ready to be attached to automated emails.

• Open AI Account integration for the advanced edition of ARNR

To use the AI features in the app, configure your organisation's open AI account with ARNR. This option is only available for the Advanced Edition. For a chance to get early access to the advanced edition, you can get in touch with us.

• Customisable ARNR calendar titles and project legends.

You can now modify the Automated Release Notes and Reports calendar gadget title on your Jira dashboards. It will help you distinguish between different release schedules. Project legends or abbreviations are displayed for each release, allowing quick identification across multiple projects on both the dashboard gadget and cross-project screen calendar for efficient release management.

• Help text for custom variables for better clarity and understanding

As the rule actions with templates containing custom variables are being executed, the custom variable project is now shown as help text. You can preview templates using this help text as well. Users who are previewing templates or carrying out rule actions will find these details useful.

Conclusion 

Adding these new features to your work list will completely transform your workflow and enable smooth, effective teamwork. Your team can be informed and in sync with improved clarity, OpenAI integration, and customisable templates.
