Older Frosmo Platform releases

Maintenance release (2021-12-27)

Improvements

In data tracking:

• Increased the maximum length of the name and type standard product attributes from 128 to 256 characters. This update also applies to the frosmoProductName and frosmoProductCategory legacy product attributes.

In Frosmo Preview:

• In trigger debugging information, added a warning that is displayed when the alias defined for the trigger is also the name of a Frosmo Core event, which can result in an infinite loop.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-12-09)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added a new currency, the Croatian kuna (HRK), to the site settings in the Control Panel.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Updated the layout of the new visitor status view for a cleaner and more consistent look.
• Updated searchable drop-down menus to horizontally align search results to the left.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-11-30)

Improvements

In Frosmo Preview:

• Added a new visitor status view, which you can open by clicking the Frosmo cheetah logo in the top menu bar. The view shows your session status (new or returning visitor) and geolocation, and your current segments and affinities.
• In Advanced > Products and Advanced > Transactions & Conversions, updated the UI copy for clarity and consistency.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed the following bugs in the Preview view:
  • If you were in workspace preview mode, and the workspace in question contained a modification with a production counterpart, Frosmo Preview allowed you to only preview the production modification. Now, if you're in workspace preview mode, the preview correctly shows the workspace version of the modification.
  • If you were in workspace preview mode, and the workspace in question contained a placement with a production counterpart, the Placements drop-down menu only listed the production ID for the placement (even though the preview correctly showed the workspace version of the placement). Now, the menu also lists the ID of the workspace placement.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-10-18)

Improvements

In Frosmo Preview:

• In Debug > Modifications, the list of modifications now only shows modifications that are displayed on the current page or assigned to a placement that is valid for the current page. The list also shows a green checkmark for modifications that have been rendered on the current page.
• In Debug > Modifications and Debug > Placements, the Placement tab now shows a warning when the placement times out (meaning its target element was not found on the page).
• In Debug > Modifications, Debug > Placements, and Debug > Triggers, the Trigger tab now shows a warning when the trigger times out (meaning the conditions for firing the trigger did not arise).

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-10-11)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategy filters:

  • The item attribute field now only lists attributes whose data type is one of the following:

    • Array of Booleans
    • Array of numbers
    • Array of strings
    • Boolean
    • Number
    • String

    The platform supports filtering only for these data types.

  • The is one of and is not one of operators now also support item attributes with a Boolean value. Previously, the operators only supported attributes with a number or string value.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where, if you searched for segments using the search field, a long segment description broke the layout of the resulting segment list.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-10-07)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategy filters, improved item attribute validation:

  • You must now select the item attribute for a filter rule. Previously, you could also enter the attribute name, which allowed you to select an attribute not actually tracked for the site, thereby creating an invalid filter rule.
  • The platform now fully checks that the target value defined for a filter rule is valid for the selected item attribute and operator.
  • The UI now displays a warning if the platform cannot determine which item attributes can be used for filtering.

  • The UI now displays a warning if an existing filter rule is using an obsolete attribute.

    An obsolete attribute is one that's been removed from the database because product tracking has not updated its values in a long time. An obsolete attribute, by definition, cannot be used for filtering.

• In recommendation configurations, removed support for using attributes. to reference attributes returned as properties of the attributes object in a Product API response. To reference these attributes, simply use the attribute name, such as brand or price.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-09-28)

Improvements

In Frosmo Preview:

• Improved support for workspaces.
• If the site's custom script is out of date, the header now displays a message about this.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-08-24)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added the Setup > Products page. The page lists all the products tracked for the currently selected site, with the full product data displayed for each product.
• In workspaces, if a workspace publication fails with an error that the platform cannot roll back, the UI displays an error popup with a Copy button for copying the error details to the clipboard. Previously, the copy function Base64-encoded the error details. However, the encoding can fail in certain cases, resulting in nothing being copied. Now, clicking the button copies the error details as raw unencoded text.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-06-23)

Improvements

In data tracking:

• Updated the new product data structure for product tracking to include categories as a standard attribute.

  The platform has supported the new structure, which splits attributes into standard attributes and custom attributes, under the hood since 2021-04-12. The old structure is now officially deprecated, although the platform continues to support it for backwards-compatibility until otherwise communicated.

  The product tracking guide will be shortly updated with details about the new structure.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where the Debug > Shared code view listed both the production and workspace versions of a piece of shared code as active for the current page.

  • In modification settings, you can now easily switch between the basic settings view and the statistics view by selecting the corresponding tab in the top left corner of the page.

    

  • In modification variation settings, if a variation uses a template, the Content options section now shows the JSON object describing the content options set for the variation. You can view the object by expanding the Content options object (JSON) subsection.
• In placement settings, for URL matchers, increased the width of text input field to better accommodate longer values.
• In trigger settings, updated the settings view to match the layout of similar component settings views.
• Revised the UI copy for the Google Analytics integration page.

In Frosmo Preview:

• In the Visitors view, added the Cookies section for listing all first-party cookies that do not have the HttpOnly attribute set. The Cookies section is also shown in the Visitor tab of the modification debugging view.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-05-31)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategies:
  • Added support for the Most bought on the site in recent months algorithm. The algorithm returns the most bought items on the site in, by default, the past 60 days.
  • Added support for the any one of contains filter rule operator. This operator allows you to search an array of strings (attribute value) for a single string or substring (your target value). The rule evaluates to true if at least one item in the array contains the string.
  • Added the predefined filters Only return items whose categories include the viewed category and Only return items whose categories include at least one category to which the viewed item belongs for category and product pages, respectively. Both filters use the categories attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the predefined category page filter Only include items that match the viewed category to Only return items whose type matches the viewed category. As before, the filter uses the type attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the predefined product page filter Only include items that match the category of the viewed item to Only return items whose type is the same as the viewed item's. As before, the filter uses the type attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the algorithms to omit the specific day ranges. For example, Bought together with current item - 60 days is now Bought together with current item, while Most bought on the site - 7 days is now Most bought on the site in recent days.
• In recommendation configurations:
  • Added support for the anyElementContains filter rule operator. This is the same operator as the any one of contains operator for recommendation strategies.
• In email recommendations:
  • The copy code popup now additionally displays the ID and number of slots for the email recommendation.
  • Updated the UI copy for clarity and consistency.

In Frosmo Core:

• Made various improvements, which resulted in reducing the script file size from 56 KB to 54 KB (4%).

In Frosmo Preview:

• In the Debug > Segments view, added debugging information about the triggers associated with the selected segment.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where removing a segment in the Control Panel did not always remove the segment from the site. This was caused by the site's custom script getting exported to the site before the segment was removed from the script.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where, if you were in a workspace, the Site view incorrectly reported that the site's custom script is out of date. This was caused by Frosmo Preview checking the modified timestamp of the currently loaded workspace custom script against the latest available production custom script rather than the latest available workspace custom script.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-05-11)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Removed the IE10 support module from site settings, as the platform no longer supports Internet Explorer 10.

In Frosmo Core:

• Added a unique script namespace for template prerenderers: frosmo_message_pre_renderer_script_id_<modification_id>. This allows you to easily find and debug template prerenderer code in your browser's developer tools.
• Removed support for Internet Explorer 10.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Added support for Google Analytics (GA) events. To view the GA events sent for a modification, select Debug > Modifications, select the modification, and select the Google Analytics tab.

  • Context API
  • Events API
  • Message API
  • Product API
  • Recommendations API

In data tracking:

• Increased the maximum length of a transaction ID from 32 to 36 characters. In the data layer, the transactionId property represents the transaction ID.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where, if you previewed a modification variation that used a template with a content prerenderer, Frosmo Preview did not apply the prerenderer to the content. This resulted in missing or otherwise incorrect content in the preview. The bug also affected the variation preview functionality in the Control Panel, since the functionality uses Frosmo Preview to display the variation content. Frosmo Preview now correctly supports templates that use a content prerenderer.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2020-10-19)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where, in configuring a segmentation rule, selecting the per day option for counting visitor actions actually selected the per session or per visit option (depending on the rule type) under the hood, and selecting the per session or per visit option actually selected the per day option. This bug only affected the following rule types, which support both a per day option and a per session or per visit option:

Maintenance release (2020-07-06)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Recommendation configurations whose type is bundle_converted, bundle_viewed, or bundle_viewed_converted now support any (single) product attribute for filtering the generated recommendation data. Previously, the bundle types only used product ID for filtering the data. As with the most_converted and most_viewed types, the filtering must be defined in the options.product_attrs property of the configuration.

  Top 5 products purchased together in the past 24 hours by type

  {
      "name": "Products purchased together",
      "description": "Top 5 products purchased together in the past 24 hours by type",
      "type": "bundle_converted",
      "frequency": "15m",
      "hours": 24,
      "limit": 5,
      "map_ids": "product",
      "params": [
          "productType"
      ],
      "options": {
          "product_attrs": [
              "type"
          ]
      }
  }

• When you create or edit an email recommendation, you can now edit the HTML code used to display the recommended products. The code is shared by all the products in the recommendation. To edit the code, click Show template editor, and edit the code in the editor.

  

In Frosmo Recommendations:

• Updated the Recommendations API to support the following new query parameters for advanced filtering:
  • limit: Define the maximum number of recommended items to return. This parameter overrides the limit defined in the recommendation configuration.
  • mapping: Define the logic for mapping the IDs of the recommended items to source data in the Frosmo back end. This determines what data the recommendation actually returns for each item. This parameter overrides the map_ids defined in the recommendation configuration.

• Fixed a bug in modifications where, if you tried to preview a modification variation when the associated placement had no preview URL defined, the preview failed to work even after you clicked Edit in the preview error popup and added the missing preview URL to the placement. You had to reload the modification settings view to get the preview working.

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• When you edit a placement, the placement settings view now shows a list of modifications that use the placement. The list is grouped into active and inactive modifications. Clicking a modification name in the list opens the basic settings view for that modification.

  For a production placement, the list shows only the production modifications that use the placement. For a workspace placement, the list only shows the workspace modifications that use the placement.

• Added context-sensitive Learn more links to further sections of the UI. Clicking a link takes you to the corresponding user guide or feature document in Frosmo Documentation.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in advanced tracking where the column headings in the downloadable statistics report were off, and as a result the tracking data did not appear correctly.
• Fixed a bug in modifications where, if you disabled content preloading for a modification, the modification was not removed from the site custom script.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2020-02-03)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• When you duplicate a modification, you can now select the case for the new modification. The available cases depend on the case of the original modification. For example, if the original modification is an A/B test modification, the duplicate is restricted to the A/B test and Multi-armed bandit cases. For more information, see Duplicating a modification.
• When you create a new template, the Content, Content options schema, and Content options UI schema fields now contain simple example code for you to get started with.
• Improved the UI:
  • Added context-sensitive Learn more links to selected sections of the UI. Clicking a link takes you to the corresponding user guide or feature document in Frosmo Documentation.
  • Made minor usability improvements across the UI.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug on the Segment summary dashboard page where the segment statistics were incorrectly calculated for weeks that crossed the year boundary. The bug caused certain days to be attributed to the wrong week and year, resulting in missing data for the target week.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2020-01-30)

Improvements

In Frosmo Core:

• Updated the settings of the id cookie, which stores a visitor's global Frosmo ID, to conform to the third-party cookie security restriction introduced in Google Chrome version 80. Specifically, the id cookie now includes the attributes SameSite=None and Secure, which prevent Chrome from rejecting the cookie. The Frosmo Platform uses the id cookie with target groups to identify visitors across sites. For more information about the cookie, see Data collection and storage.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2020-01-27)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In a template, if you set the Content export option to Automatic, the template content is exported to the custom script only if the template is used in an active variation of an active modification and only if that modification has content preloading enabled. The Message API now delivers the template content for modifications with content preloading disabled, omitting the need to add the content to the custom script.
• For modifications:
  • When you duplicate a modification, you can now immediately define a name for the new modification, after which the Control Panel automatically opens the Basic settings view for the new modification.
  • When you activate a modification, the activation prompt now displays the modification schedule and provides a link for editing the scheduling settings, and also shows whether the modification is in test mode.
  • The calendar widget for defining the modification schedule now uses the European time format with Monday as the first day of the week.
  • You can now access modification analytics directly from the Basic settings view by using the quick menu button in the upper right corner of the view.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in the modifications list view where, if you clicked the Create modification button too quickly, the old modification UI was sometimes displayed.
• Fixed a bug in workspaces where, when you added a placement to the workspace, renamed that placement in the workspace, and used the placement in a modification in the workspace, the UI displayed the name of the original production placement in the modification Basic settings and Select placement views.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-12-20)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• When you select to preview a modification variation, the preview URL now opens in a new tab. Previously, the URL opened in the same tab with the Control Panel.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in modifications where, if you enabled content preloading for a modification that was in test mode, test mode was disabled for the modification. Now, test mode remains enabled for the modification.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-12-16)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added a tutorial video on creating modifications to Modifications > Overview. If there are no modifications created for the site, the video is displayed in the main view. If there are modifications already created for the site, to access the video, click the help icon next to the Create modification button.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-12-09)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in workspaces where, if you added an existing placement from production to a workspace, and opened the placement for editing in the workspace with the new modification UI, the placement settings were not available.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-12-03)

Improvements

In the database:

• For product data, increased the maximum length of the product ID attribute from 128 to 256 characters.

In the Control Panel:

• To edit the placement selected for a modification, you can now simply click the placement name in the Basic settings view of the modification. This opens the placement settings, which you can edit and save normally. Previously, you had to separately find and edit the placement.

  

• If you try to preview a modification variation whose placement does not have a preview URL defined, you get an error message. The message now provides an Edit button, which you can click to open the placement settings and define the preview URL. Previously, you had to close the error message, and separately find and edit the placement.

  

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in workspaces where a production template used in a workspace modification was exported even when the template Export field was set to Never, which should have prevented the export.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-11-26)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In the new modification UI, in variation content settings, if you have a variation that uses template defaults without a template, the UI now shows the template defaults, but editing and saving the content and the template defaults is disabled. Previously, the UI did not show the template defaults, but you could edit and save the content.

  If you have variations that uses template defaults without a template, you must convert those variations to use a template. For more information, see Migrating from template defaults to templates.

Maintenance release (2019-11-11)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Simplified the workflow for defining segments for a modification. The new workflow runs as follows:

  1. In the Basic settings view, click Define segments.
  2. Click Select segments or Select more segments, depending on whether you already have segments selected.
  3. Select the segments, and click Select.
  4. Select whether visitors should be included in or excluded from the selected segments.
  5. Click Save.

  For comparison, here's the old workflow:

  1. In the Basic settings view, click Define segments.
  2. Click Create segment combination.
  3. Select whether visitors should be included in or excluded from the selected segments.
  4. Click Select segments.
  5. Select the segments, and click Select.
  6. Click Save.

• You can now define a Preview URL for a placement. The URL is used for previewing the variations of modifications that use the placement. The URL must be the absolute URL of a page for which the placement is valid.

  

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in templates where template content was not added to the custom script if the export was set to Automatic and the template was added to a modification before activating the modification.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-11-04)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• On the modifications overview page, in the multi-selection menu bar, removed the Statistics button, added the statistics download functionality under the Analyze menu as the Download report option, and renamed the menu to Statistics.

  

• For placements, increased the maximum length of the target element selector from 256 to 512 characters.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-10-28)

This release only includes Frosmo-internal improvements.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-10-14)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• The Export option for modification templates now has three possible values:
  • Automatic: The template is automatically added to the custom script of the site if the template is used in an active variation of an active modification. This is the default value.
  • Always: The template is always added to the custom script.
  • Never: The template is never added to the custom script.
• Removing a workspace now also removes all the content of that workspace (modifications, placements, templates, triggers). This does not affect content used in production.

In Frosmo Core:

• Trigger rules now support matching against Boolean values when the rule contains a value defined as "is exactly true" or "is exactly false".

  

In the Preview Tool (Frosmo Preview):

• When you select a modification to preview, the variation selected by default is now the one with the lowest ID number (normally, variation 1). You can select another variation to preview from the Variation drop-down menu.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug where, if you used a production trigger in a workspace placement, and then removed the workspace without first explicitly removing the placement from it, the trigger could no longer be removed.
• Fixed a bug where, if you created a placement in production with a trigger attached to it, and then added the placement to a workspace, the attached trigger was not automatically added to the workspace.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-10-07)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• The Export option for modification templates is now enabled by default, when you create a new template. This means that the template is automatically added to the custom script of the site if the template is used in an active modification.
• The modification statistics tables now show the variation title along with the performance statistics, making it easier to compare variation performance.
• In workspaces, the maximum length for a workspace title is now 128 characters instead of 32 characters.
• Previously, when a site had single-page application (SPA) support enabled and a page change event occurred, the order for evaluating segmentation rules and requesting modifications from the server was different than on a normal page load. Now, the order is similar regardless of whether the page is in a single-page application, or in a normal website.

In Frosmo Core:

• You can now use the frosmo.load and frosmo.ready events to verify that the Frosmo Core script has been loaded and successfully initialized. The following example shows how to add listeners to catch the events.

  window.addEventListener('frosmo.load', function () {
      var easy = window.frosmo.easy;
      easy.console.log('Frosmo Core has loaded (externally dispatched event)');
  });
  
  window.addEventListener('frosmo.ready', function () {
      var easy = window.frosmo.easy;
      easy.console.log('Frosmo Core is ready (externally dispatched event)');
  });

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in triggers where, if you set the Evaluation point as Core event and the event type as Other predefined event and then entered the event name, the event name field disappeared from view.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-10-01)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug where, if you tried to duplicate a placement, nothing happened, and the placement was not duplicated.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-09-23)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• When you open a template for editing, the editor now shows which modifications currently use the template.
• If you rename a template, the new name is now automatically updated to every modification variation that uses the template.

In Frosmo Core:

• If a trigger has an alias, when the trigger is fired, Frosmo Core now also sends the trigger data with the alias event. The alias event contains the same data as the trigger.fire event for the trigger. For example, if a trigger has the alias productPush, when the trigger gets fired, Frosmo Core now sends the same trigger data with both the trigger.fire event and the productPush event.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug where, if you tried to remove a template that was used in one or more modifications, the UI did not display a proper message about why you could not remove the template.
• Fixed a bug where, if you tried to remove a production placement that was used in a workspace modification, the operation failed even if the workspace and therefore the modification had been removed.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-09-09)

Improvements

In Frosmo Core:

• If the data layer module is initialized for a site, Frosmo Core now automatically initializes the data layer on page load by creating an empty window.dataLayer array. If the array already exists on the page, Frosmo Core uses the existing variable.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in workspaces where a workspace modification sometimes failed to display in preview mode if the workspace placement for the modification was created from a production placement.

In Frosmo Core:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where a visitor assigned to a segment in a mutually exclusive segment group was incorrectly removed from that segment. If the visitor completed an action that had previously placed them in a different segment in the same group, the visitor was removed from their current segment for that page load, leaving them in no segment in the group. The next page load placed them back to the correct segment. Now, the visitor correctly remains in their current segment.
• Fixed a bug in segmentation where defining a segmentation rule with a query selector matching a regular expression for any value (.) resulted in the visitor getting segmented without having any query selector in their page URL. Now, the visitor only gets segmented if their page URL contains the specified query selector (with any value).
• Fixed a bug in segmentation where URL changes in a single-page application (SPA) were not correctly registered, resulting in the visitor not getting segmented if a segmentation rule depended on a specific URL. Now, SPA URL changes are correctly caught, and segmentation based on those URLs works as expected.

Maintenance release (2019-08-26)

Improvements

In Frosmo Recommendations:

• When retrieving most_viewed or most_converted recommendations with the Recommendations API, you can now filter the returned recommendations by only some of the request parameters defined in a recommendation configuration. You can define values for only those parameters by which you want to filter the recommendations, and leave the remaining parameters with empty values. Previously, you had to either define values for all the parameters or leave all the values empty. The following example request now returns recommendations for all shoes irrespective of their color, whereas previously the request would've failed unless you also defined the color or left both parameters with empty values.

  GET https://inpref.com/recoApi/v2/?method=multifetch&
      origin=shop_company_com&
      recos=[{
        "name": "Most viewed products",
        "params": {
          "type": "Shoes",
          "color": ""
        }
      }]

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-08-12)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• When creating or editing a modification template, clicking Save no longer closes the editor. Instead, to close the editor, click Close. If you have unsaved changes in the editor, the Close button is replaced by the Cancel button, which discards the unsaved changes and closes the editor.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-08-05)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• You can now manually queue recommendation generation at any time, even if generation is already ongoing for a recommendation. This allows you to, for example, immediately regenerate a recommendation after changing its configuration, regardless of the current status of the recommendation. Previously, the quick menu option to generate a recommendation was disabled if the recommendation was already being generated.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug where changes to a template were not correctly shown in the template editor unless you reloaded the templates overview page after saving the changes. Now, if you edit and save a template, and then immediately edit the same template again, the template editor correctly loads the latest, edited version of the template.

Maintenance release (2019-06-03)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• For modification templates:
  • Updated the UI for improved usability and a new look and feel.
  • Exporting a template is now enabled by default. Exporting the template adds the template content to the custom script of the site, which is mandatory for most modifications to function as expected.
• Made minor usability improvements across the UI.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-05-28)

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Core:

• Fixed a bug where trigger counts were not always saved correctly, which resulted in visitors not being segmented correctly. Now, the saving function is always called before the segmentation is evaluated so that any trigger-based segmentation works as expected.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-05-20)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Improved the usability of the UI:
  • For modifications, in modification content settings, added a Select template button for variations. The button opens a modal window where you can search for and select the template you want to use with the variation. Previously, you had to know and manually enter the template name.
  • For templates, added search, expand/collapse, and sorting options to the templates overview page.
  • For all sliding modal windows, added a close button ("X") to the top left corner, next to the modal title. This button works the same as the Cancel button at the bottom of a modal window.
  • Made numerous minor adjustments and tweaks across the UI.
• Migrated all sites that still used the legacy segmentation UI ("V1") to use the new segmentation UI ("V2").
  • If your site has segments created with the legacy UI, the segments are still fully functional, and you can access them by switching to the legacy UI from the Settings menu on the Segments page.
  • For more information about the segmentation UI redesign, see the Lynwood release notes.

In Frosmo Recommendations:

• Updated the Product API to consistently select which product data attribute value to return if the same attribute occurs multiple times in the source product data. In the source data, the same attribute can be defined in the data field, in the promotionLabel field, and in its own, dedicated top-level field. In case of duplicate attributes, the order of preference for selecting which attribute value to return is as follows:
  1. data
  2. promotionLabel
  3. Dedicated field

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in triggers where, if you selected the Data layer event evaluation point and the Event data rule for a trigger, the UI would not allow you to manually enter property names such as ["gtm.elementId"]. Instead, you had to copy and paste these name values to the property name field. You can now enter such values normally.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-05-13)

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where, if you removed the segment combination defined for a modification, the change was not saved and the modification was still displayed only to the visitors in those segments. Now, if you remove the segment combination defined for a modification, the modification is displayed to all visitors.

Maintenance release (2019-04-08)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added short tutorial videos for placements and segments. If you have no placements/segments created, the video is shown on the placements/segments overview page. If you have one or more placements/segments, you can find the video in the help text.
• Updated the placements UI for improved usability and a new look and feel. The new UI provides the same functionality as the old one.
• For modifications, updated the placement selection drop-down menu to a button that opens a modal window where you can search for and select the placement, and view information about the available placements.
• For triggers, added the Data layer event evaluation point. Use this evaluation point to fire triggers every time a data layer event occurs on a page.
• For triggers, updated the Event data rule:
  • Added support for property names that contain one or more periods.
  • Added automatic normalization and trimming for the property name on save.
  • Added a tooltip with detailed instructions and a dynamically generated example of the expected event data object.
• Made numerous minor usability improvements across the UI.
• Discontinued official support for Internet Explorer. For a list of supported browsers, see Technical overview.

In Frosmo Core:

• For triggers, added support for the Data layer event evaluation point.

In Frosmo Recommendations:

• Updated the Recommendations API to version 2. While deprecated, version 1 remains accessible, and requests that use version 1 work normally. For more information, see Recommendations API.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in password creation where the UI did not accept a password with one or more special characters but no numbers. The UI now correctly accepts passwords that contain at least one number or one special character.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2019-03-11)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Increased the maximum size of modification template content to 512 KB (524 288 characters). If a template exceeds this limit, the Control Panel displays a warning and does not allow you to save the template until you reduce its content size to conform to the limit.
• In modification analytics, advanced tracking events are now sorted in ascending order by variation ID.

In Frosmo Recommendations:

• Improved the scheduling process for generating recommendations. This fixes the issue where the recommendation status (returned by the Graniitti API and visible in the Control Panel) did not always reflect the actual state of the generation.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in modification analytics where the advanced tracking statistics were not updated with event data when switching from a time period that had no events to a time period that did have events. The statistics view continued to incorrectly display a message that there are no events for the selected time period.
• Fixed a bug in segment settings where a conversion, product purchase, or product view segmentation rule did not display the product name when a single product was selected.

Platform component versions
