General features
Personalize the content of your trial rooms
We introduce the ability for platform and domain administrators to preconfigure a room template for trial rooms. This new feature allows large organizations to customize the trial experience, tailoring it to their specific context and needs.
You can create a trial room template to fit your main use cases by deploying standardized visual management boards and associated guidelines. This ensures that users can experience iObeya in a way that is directly relevant to their work environment. Additionally, you can create dedicated boards to cover the trial process, incorporating internal procedures and milestones necessary to confirm the room with management and the IT department before acquiring a dedicated license.
Adaptative zoom velocity for enhanced user experience
Given that board sizes can vary from A4 to double 5A0, it is important to offer a smooth zooming and navigation experience. We have made a significant improvement to the user experience by adapting the zoom velocity depending on the device being used. As more users are using trackpads and Magic Mouse devices for macOS, we received feedback that the zoom was too sensitive. In response, we have adjusted the zoom sensitivity to adapt to various setups, including large touch screens, trackpads, Magic Mouse for macOS users, and the traditional mouse wheel.
Please note that using the spread & pinch gestures on a trackpad will trigger the zoom feature from the web browser, not from iObeya itself. For zooming in/out on iObeya with a trackpad, you can slide up and down with two fingers as if you are scrolling on a page.
This enhancement makes it easier to navigate virtual whiteboards and ensures that users can read and interact with visual management board content effortlessly, regardless of the device they are using.
Refining user interaction: right-click interaction for contextual menus
In our ongoing effort to refine the user experience on iObeya boards, this version introduces right-click functionality for accessing contextual menus, providing users with a familiar and efficient way to interact with board elements. This update aligns with common industry standards and offers a familiar method for users who operate iObeya with a keyboard and mouse setup.
For the moment, we have retained the existing left-click interaction to access the contextual menu, while adding the option to use right-click. This provides flexibility, allowing you to choose the action that best suits your habits and preferences, ensuring a consistent experience across tools.
We recognize that our users have diverse needs, and we are open to feedback on how to further evolve the use of both mouse buttons to accommodate different use cases.
iObeya in Brazilian Portuguese (Beta)!
iObeya is now available in 10 languages! We are delighted to announce that beta version of Brazilian language has now been added to the list with the latest version of iObeya. Both end-user and administration interfaces have been fully localized and are now available in French, English, German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese.

To streamline our process, please compile your feedback and send it together rather than item by item – your help is greatly appreciated!
Unified login experience
You will soon notice some changes in the look and feel of the iObeya login screen. We are pleased to introduce a streamlined and unified login experience in the latest on-premises version of iObeya.
This is not only a visual refresh of the page but also an enhancement that allows users to access the end-user interface, platform admin interface, and future services with a single, unified login page.
Performance Management
Filter QCD actions plan using a time range
With this version we introduced a new improvement to the QCD action plans. You now have the ability to filter actions listed in an action plan within a specified time range, either by due date or by the creation date of each action. This added functionality allows for precise tracking of ongoing and upcoming tasks, tailored to your specific timeframe requirements.
