Areas are now saved directly to your model file

When we released areas in 2.5 the areas you defined would be saved to a file on your computer. This is not very useful for coordinators that share the coordination responsibilities on the same project, since each one would have to set the areas up. As of the 2.6 release, areas that you define will be saved directly into the NWF/NWD you are working on so as you share that file around, the areas will come with it! We are working now to also save all Sherlock settings into the model files so that your Distill, Orient, and Heatmap settings will transfer as well.

Bugs

We’re always addressing small usability issues and improving performance, in this milestone we cleared 2 bugs! The most notable is a bug where when defining areas if you were to zoom in the model would disappear. This has now been fixed.

Weather API

You can now access project weather data via our expanding API. Check out our documentation below. Thanks to Leo and Austin for suggesting this feature so that they could include weather data automatically in their Plan of the Day excel template.

Easily filter which projects you’re viewing in the dashboard

Previously, the dashboard only allowed for the display of all projects. Now you can select which projects you’d like to be included in the charts presented on the dashboard.
