These Are the New Features in Clarity 15.8.1
Clarity PPM Is Now Simply Clarity
The PPM software has a new name: From now on it will no longer be called Clarity PPM, but just Clarity. A new logo also adorns the login screen and the Modern UX.
More Flexible Options for Roadmaps
Clarity 15.8.1 offers you several new options that help optimize the features and flexibility of roadmaps. This includes an improved import process that uses the configurable grid with saved views and filter options for selecting investments. There is now broader support for various data types and the synchronization of user-defined fields between roadmap items and the underlying investments.
Field-Level Security for Custom Investments
The introduction of field-level permissions for custom investments allows for powerful governance control. The administration of secure sub-pages is no longer necessary, since a stable data security framework is guaranteed.
