New Features in Version 24.2
General
Guest Experience
We are excited to introduce our app to guests and new users. This app offers a brief yet comprehensive experience of what the frontline entails and showcases the app's capabilities. To learn more about the guest experience, please see the article: Guest Area: Innovative frontline.io experiences for quests.
Users who are working on-site and offline need a custom local server to connect to. Currently, this feature is only available to our developers, and we want to make it accessible to all users while keeping it as a secondary login option.

Content Creation
Flow Editor - Edit multiple Nodes
Content creators find it tiresome to repeat actions for a high number of nodes, where they need to enter the same title and need to repeat the action for every node. We want to solve this by enabling multi-edit for nodes.
Digital twin - Bookmarks
This feature aims to empower users, particularly those in leadership roles, to create and save predefined states of the Digital Twin for easy access and display. Additionally, it facilitates sharing these states publicly among team members, primarily for training and content creation purposes. To find out more about the Bookmarks, please refer to the article named Digital Twin - Bookmarks
Animation Builder
Toolbox
Introducing the "Toolbox for Animation Builder," a user-friendly feature enhancing 3D model animation creation. Accessed via an "Add tool" button, it provides a library of models. Each tool includes a properties window for precise adjustments, streamlining the animation process seamlessly.
Waypoint Addons:
Hide Part
Now, you can hide parts not only at the end but also in the middle of the animation, adding flexibility to your creations.
Gizmo Alignment
Choose between Local and Global alignment for your transformation gizmo, adjusting its position from the model's local to global orientation.
Copy/Paste Animation Values
Easily copy and paste transform values between items and waypoints, simplifying your animation process.
β
βScale
Now, you can scale your tools, adjusting their size up or down with ease. Plus, you can create dynamic scale animations for added visual impact.
For additional details about the new capabilities in the Animation Builder, please Animation Builder - Toolbox.
frontline Web
Media Manager Improvement
Introducing the new Project Media Manager to streamline media organization. It features a Library Hierarchy Panel, a real-time Search Bar, intuitive Breadcrumbs, and a Media Display Section with filtering and upload options. Performance improvements like lazy loading and server-side optimizations ensure faster loading times and enhanced responsiveness for a more efficient user experience.
Replace a specific media in all places
When a media item, such as an image or video, is used in multiple nodes, this feature allows you to replace it with a new one across all instances simultaneously.
Digital Twin Connectivity Improvements
Now, when you create a new procedure item, it defaults to 2D, switching to both if a default 3D item exists. Clicking a 3D model sets it to 3D. Deleting a Digital Twin item prompts a confirmation if linked to other procedures, and default twins are visibly tagged. New twins automatically become default if none exist, with a tooltip clarifying its effect on new procedures.
Mobile app
Parts Catalog - Mobile Split screen
Users find it difficult to navigate through the parts catalog when browsing on small mobile devices. To make the parts catalog easier to use, we are introducing a "Split Screen" toggle, which allows users to interact with both the parts catalog and the 3D view simultaneously.
Analytics
Data extraction API for Power BI
This feature defines a generic API for PowerBI to access the data and information collected by frontline.io. Many frontline.io customers want to analyze this data in their own data warehouse. The API will retrieve data from different tables, such as:
Remote support
Digital Twin and procedures
Known Issues
Book marks
