User experience improvements for the automation editor

Share this message

We are introducing a couple improvements to the automation editor that aim to improve the user experience.

Collapse and expand the blocks in Loop and Condition blocks

It is now possible to collapse the blocks that are inside Loop blocks and Condition blocks. This includes List blocks from connectors such as the Get Straight Table Data block in the Qlik Cloud Services connector.

This helps to make large automations more readable.

Per block history order is now in the same order as the blocks in the automation

The new order makes it easier to debug and review automation runs.

The automation settings menu is now in the navigation bar in the automation editor. It is accessible by clicking Settings in the navigation bar next to the automation name.
