Gangmates Release Notes: v2025.03.00
Release Date: March 2, 2025 Environment: Stage/Prod Version: 2025.03.00
Summary of This Release:
Automated Archiving: Goals are now automatically archived into a dedicated archive table once their end date has passed or the goal is marked as complete. This ensures historical data is preserved while keeping active dashboards uncluttered.
Initiatives Activation Approval: To ensure quality and accountability, initiatives are now only considered active after receiving approval from the initiative’s objective owner.
Upcoming API Transition Reminder: Please note that we will be phasing out the use of “id” for the User Management API in favor of “object_id” on March 25, 2025. Make sure your integrations are updated accordingly.
