Besides turning Scoring Nodes into more powerful Logic Nodes, we’ve done a lot of little improvements and fixes in the last 30 days. In particular, we’ve had a few requests for enhancing Data Entry capabilities.

Here’s what’s new:

New: Logic nodes
API: delete_form_data returns better error message if deleting already deleted form data (Jay H.)
Fix: Link nodes now wait for session data to save before linking out. Makes API calls from linked node work 100% reliably.
Fix: SSO URLs are now REST compliant (no & or ? characters) (Priya)
New: Added browser_language built-in variable (Eric J.)
Update: Logic node editor can set root node.
Update: Tree nodes can be set as root node (Chris P.)
Update: Only allows letters, numbers and underscores in tags. (Morgan A.)
Update: Edit Content Node shows advanced options by default if tags or any other advanced option is set (Bill Z.)
Update: Simple Overview shows node tags on each line (if they exist). (Bill Z.)
Update: Link nodes now show a “please wait” message, in case new page is slow to open. Also improves email-session-info.php experience.
Fix: No longer able to inadvertently create node #0 from Document Node editor. (James W.)
Update: Tree search (and search in Zingtree FAQ) now shows node title and tag matches first. This gives more relevant results for tree searches.
Fix: host-trees integration URL with a space in the agent name source= parameter now gives correct results (Juan C.).
Update: Create Tree for Excel, Sheets options now includes direct links to Excel, Sheets example files.
Fix: Blank lines in bulk agent submit no longer show an errant error message. (Allen J.)
Fix: removed extra white space at the bottom of embedded trees (Josh S.). (Requires getting new embed code.)
Fix: Now saves form data when jumping to a new tree and not continuing past the first node (Diana T.).
Fix: Session List CSV export now uses local time.
New: Session List (All Trees) Report (for Koltyn)
Fix: Agent feedback button didn’t show or work properly in embedded trees (Morgan).
Update: Button labels can now be 255 characters.
Update: Increased database performance by moving to SSD storage.
Fix: Now allows tags to be entered without having to press ENTER.
Update: Default tag choices that appear in tag list drop down in Settings, My Agents are from all agents and trees, and only from current organization.
New: Email and password field types now included in Data Entry Forms (Imran, Maximiliano)
Update: Now supports “required” option for radio buttons in data entry forms (Imran, Diana T.)
Fix: Tooltips now always appear
Fix: Preview for authors with apostrophes in their name now works properly (Joe O’)
Fix: Nopermalink now gets passed as a parameter for host-trees.php (Jenn V.)
Fix: Uses https:// for hosting when going from https://zingtree.com/host-trees.php (Jenn V.)
Update: SSO restriction is set by default for new trees if SSO is set up for organization (Jenn V.)
Update: Better CSS for panels style tree rendering.
Update: Spaces in search parameters sent to host-trees.php turn into underscores so tag matching can work properly (Jenn V.)
Fix: Clicks and Usage report wasn’t showing true engagement due to using last click time.
Fix: Empty scoring variables no longer cause JS errors when rendering trees (Bob H.)
Fix: Emailed session transcripts from multi-tree sessions now get the proper questions before the tree jump (Travis A.)
Fix: Webhooks with no returned data no longer make JS errors while rendering tree (Bob H.)
Fix: Editing data entry fields – can now properly set Required attribute for multiline text fields (Bob H.)
Fix: Launching trees from host-trees.php now properly passes along agent name (Juan C.)
New: /api/get-history-data.php for use with updated Zendesk Support app
Update: Agent feedback now includes link to session transcript (Katheryn P.)
Update: Added last_click_time fields to get_session_data API call (Ricardo)

Phew!
