What's new in VIKTOR? (February 2023)

by VIKTOR

The time has come another platform update. For this month, we have been working on the archiving of workspaces, an overview of historical jobs in the job log, and free publishing & sharing of your apps! Does this sound interesting? Keep reading for more information on this month's changes!

How to create successful application that ensure adoption

Build successful applications

Learn how you (developer, engineer, end-user, domain expert, project manager, etc.) can contribute to the creation of apps that provide real value to your work.

Archive your workspaces

Besides creating workspaces yourself, administrators can now also archive old workspaces that are no longer being used.

Archiving a workspace removes it from the workspaces overview, ensuring other users can no longer view or access it. This makes it easier to navigate the list of workspaces that are still in use. Data from an archived workspace will not get deleted. You can always unarchive an already archived workspace.

Publish & share your apps for free

Maybe you have already heard it, but we have some exciting news for the community! From now on, free users can publish and share editor-type apps with anyone they want. This means besides developing apps, you can now also experience how easy it is to share your apps with end-users.

This new feature gives a big boost to our community, enabling all developers to share their creations with the world and providing the opportunity to test and learn from each other's work.

We are very much looking forward to seeing all the awesome apps from the community being shared. If you want to share your app with a wide audience, we would love to help you out by adding your app to our Apps Gallery and promoting it through our network. Let us know by sending a mail to support@viktor.ai.

View historical jobs in the job log

We are introducing the job log: a new feature in which the results of the last 5 historical jobs are shown. The job log contains details on the starting time of the job, when it was completed, and whether it was successful or not. This allows you to report problems on old non-successful jobs.
