Version 1.14.9 - 21.01.2022

New product features

Possibility to reset position of moved hotspots to the initial point

Sometimes when you move a created hotspot from its origin position, it will be moved behind an object on the page. If you let go the mouse button, the hotspot will not be accessible anymore. GRAVITY will not show that hotspot in the ‘Hotspot Collector’ since that hotspot is on the site but just not visible anymore. In that case you can now reset the hotspot to its original position by looking up that hotspot in the admin site and press the ‘reset position button’ (screen shot red square).

Possibility to force hotspot to be shown in Lighthouse

If a hotspot cannot be attached stable enough to an element because that element is not always visible but needs to be visible to the user at any time, you are now able to force that callout to be shown in the lighthouse. Lookup the callout in the admin site and press ‘Show in lighthouse’ (screen shot blue square).

That callout will now be presented to the user in the lighthouse, even though the site element is available on the site.

Product improvements

Possibility to remove users from an audience automatically after specified period of time

If «auto remove» is activated in a particular audience, each member can only stay, in that group for, for the defined number of days. That setting let you build audiences for “new hire” or “New to this app users” use cases.

Possibility to export users from an audience as Excel file

All members of an audience can now be exported into a Microsoft Excel file. That file can be modified and later imported again.

Possibility to import users to an audience from Excel file

The exported and alter Excel file can be imported with different options:

Replace all: This option deletes the whole existing list and replace the list with the data in the Excel File. Use it when you removed and/or added users from the list (Excel file).

Create missing: If new users are added in the Excel-File, use that option to add these users to the audience.

At the end there is the check box “allow creation of new users”. Leave this box unchecked if the Excel file list, you import, should contain only existing users. In the case, this option prevents that typo in your Excel file results in new users. Check this box if you want to create users upfront and add them to an audience.

Antivirus Scan and inject protection for all file uploads

Admin Site: Allow only specific file extension (.gsj). Do not send files with not supported extension to the server, just show an error toast. Check file size (<=100 MB).

Server side: Server: add response headers for export files:

Login to GRAVITY Admin Site can be used with Two Factor Authentication

The GRAVITY Admin Site can now be protected by 2 Factor Authentication. Detailed instruction are available in the Wiki.

Password for Admin Site Access login needs to have a minimum complexity

Session timeout for Admin site can be set

To protect the Admin site from unwanted access, the open session will close itself automatically when the administrator is not working on the configuration anymore. The default value is 30min.

New product features

GRAVITY control can display an onboarding help text

If users get added automatically (Sync Mode «On» & Security Level 0) for the first time, an onboarding help text can be displayed. That text can be defined for all active languages. You will find that setting under Settings -> Gravity control description. The GRAVITY control displays a (Multi Language) Single Callout with the corresponding text.

Workflow Time Out

Workflows now have a time out. The time out is defined in minutes. If a workflow step remains open (is not clicked further) during the defined time out, the workflow is canceled. For this user, the workflow is then considered as not started. So, if the first workflow step is marked as "Auto Open", the user will now be shown the first step again.
However, if the user leaves the page within the defined Time Out and later navigates back to the page, he will be shown the current status of his workflow.
The Time Out time in minutes can be defined under Settings in the GRAVITY Admin page. The default setting is five minutes.

Restrict access to the dashboard

The visibility of the dashboard access can be configured per site. Authors and goal owners can still use the dashboard. Normal users, on the other hand, do not see the dashboard function. The dashboard can also be disabled completely in case no goals, tasks or statistics are used.

Cornerstone Support

The SaaS application "Cornerstone" is now supported with "User Sync". This means that "Cornerstone" can be used to identify users and is available as a GRAVITY app type.

Product improvements

First and last workflow steps are visually recognizable

The first and last steps are grayed out accordingly. So that it is visually clear to the user that the workflow does not continue.

Site URL Watcher – Detection of new URL if in-app routing is used

Some web application has mechanics that switches URL without loading the whole site. In that case, when a page is not completely reloaded but URL is changed GRAVITY is not reinitialized and content from the previous page is shown.
When an application uses such in-app routing, in the site configuration, “Site URL Watcher” can be activated, in the “General” tab of each site configuration. With the “Site URL Watcher” activated GRAVITY recognize such passive URL changes and makes sure the corresponding information is loaded.

Scrolling position calculation method

We tweaked the method to calculate the scrolling position of a workflow step in long sites. If objects have relative positions, we add an additional algorithm which calculates the position on such sites. The method can be switched for each site configuration on the “general” tab.

• The Announcement position on the screen is changed from centered to top of the screen. That makes it easier to place bigger images on different screen sizes and different browser view scaling.
