Fingertip 3.1
Release highlights
Release date: February 15th, 2024
Fingertip 3.1 is another major step forward in the revolution of knowledge work leadership spearheaded by Fingertip.
In this version update we have made huge improvements in the usability of different big picture views, like boards and the Gantt chart, which will help leaders in their strategic prioritization and resourcing.
We have also massively improved filtering to help make work even more visible in each of its progress phases, helping discover the bottlenecks and get things done.
The 3.1 update also brings an easier way for role assignment using Teams channels, that grants access automatically to new users as your organization grows over time.
Meetings and objectives have received extra much love in terms of features, performance and usability improvements, so you can reach your goals even easier and have even better meetings.
Administrators will also have an easier time in deploying Fingertip and managing their licenses with the all new Admin App 2.0.
Not only have we added a bunch of killer features, but also managed to improve the loading and navigation speed, making your experience that much more fluent and allowing you to focus on your leadership.
We hope you enjoy the Fingertip 3.1 update, let us know what you’d like to see in the next edition and subscribe to our product updates newsletter to be the first to know when we’re rolling out new features!

Group access
Group access
As Teams groups are changing constantly, the access to Fingertip activators can be difficult to handle. To tackle this, the activators in created from collections automatically inherit the current team in the responsible field.
With this approach, the members of the team added in the ARI role, will inherit their access level from the group. If their access to the team is revoked, so is their access to the Fingertip objects related to the team!
Less clicking, let Fingertip handle the user access to the activators!

Other new features
Optimized loading time
Improving the loading time of Fingertip is always one of the highest priorities in the product team.
Good news! The initial loading time to open the app has improved since the product 3.0 release.
On top of that, the navigation between screens is now faster and certain activators such as objective and meeting are now even more fluent in terms of performance.
Add to item
This feature is a BETA functionality to add selected activators inside collections, plans or meeting agenda items with just a couple of clicks.
Select any item from Fingertip, click “Add to item” and select its destination.
Save a lot of time without having the need to navigate around the screens to add your relevant items to activators!
Improved filtering
Filtering is an important way to find relevant Fingertip items and that’s why the experience has now been improved for the users.
In all the list views, quick filters are automatically applied to display the current user’s items. The filter can be easily removed with a single click.
In channel context, the lists are automatically filtered by the current team and channel items.
Also, the “filter sidebar” has been improved and introduced for tasks.
Admin App 2.0
The Fingertip deployment and maintenance experience is now on the next level. By reducing the number of clicks and making the Power Platform admin jungle easier to navigate, the Fingertip Admin App provides substantial benefit for the customer admin.
With the admin app the customer admin can:
- Finalizing the initial deployment process
- Managing user access to Fingertip
- Managing updates to database
- Ensuring Fingertip is running smoothly
In the 3.1 release, the admin app has undergone major bug fixes to avoid errors in special cases.
