Final version Stage

We decided to leave Release Candidate Stage and go for Final Version Stage. Recently we haven't found new bugs that suggest keeping Release Candidate.
So from that moment, we guarantee that the product is free of bugs and a possibility of appearing new ones is low.

New fancy tabs

Are you familiar with Google Chrome tabs? You can drag and drop them in a desired place. They work very smoothly as you might notice. If you like those tabs you will enjoy the same mechanism in our system. Edition, statistics and report tabs will behave the same as in Google Chrome


And I almost forgot! There is another fancy thing connected with tabs. From now on, when you click on the campaign name with a middle mouse button, the tab will open in the background.

Actions and Successful clicks redesign

We are working very hard to integrate with gemiusTraffic2. Our goal is to allow clients to measure conversion on sites that are measured by gemiusTraffic2. But before we will be able to add such possibility we had to redesign and unify action pages, successful clicks and successful clicks attached to specific click tag. In this release we are introducing these changes.
Thanks to that in the next release we will introduce gemiusTraffic2 integration on the conversion measuring level.
Please be aware that we have changed some of the currnet behavior of the system. For example, we have changed the name “Landing page” to Actions in the edition menu. That is why we strongly recommend getting familiar with the system before you start using this for production purposes.

Date picker refactoring

We have rebuilt and redesigned a bit the date picker. The story is short. We just did it. So you will find it fresh


Ordering socio-demography statistics

We give you the possibility to order socio-demography statistics straight from the interface. The process is nice and easy and takes just a few seconds. You do not have to contact with us to do this, you can just make two clicks and that's it!
