Release highlights
Release date: May 8th, 2024
Fingertip 3.2 brings better ways to measure and view organizational progress, as well as the first AI use cases.
The release package will be rolling out to customers starting Monday, 13th of May 2024. Users will see the update depending on the scheduled maintenance. Contact your organization’s administrator for details on that.
Thank you to all customers and partners who have made their voices heard during the development. Your feedback is extremely important for us.
As it stands, our product team is doing fabulous work producing new features and improvements to the user experience in lightning speed, and we rely on customer input to ensure we can deliver the most value.
In this version we have shown plenty of love to the Objective item, improving the graphical progress charts and managing predictions. Fans of measuring will also rejoice the addition of Power BI tiles in our supported meeting agenda components.
This version also delivers the first Artificial Intelligence beta features, something we have been working on and testing internally. They can save a lot of time by helping draft meeting agendas and decision proposals from simple prompts. The beta is available to all clients requiring only AI Builder credits. At some point the AI features will be limited to the Enterprise licenses.
We will also improve support on Microsoft Planner tasks in Fingertip, so it’s even easier to connect and improve transparency between different business processes.
Administrators will now also have the opportunity to activate or deactivate specific modules in the separate admin app to customize Fingertip for their organization’s needs.
And finally, we have redesigned the home page to be even more useful to someone navigating their workday in Teams using Fingertip with schedules and favorite items accompanying a more intelligent jobs to be done queue.
Improved features haven’t compromised performance either. Quite the opposite. The app now loads faster than ever before, delivering its new functionalities without stopping the flow of work.
We hope you enjoy the Fingertip 3.2 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!
