Are there going to be any specific system requirements for this upgrade ?
CPU, ram, php version, mysql version changes …
We dont think so - but we are implementing a new reporting functionality that in order to export things in pdf will need additional software installed on the apache server.
When we get to that part of the migration we’ll let you know details!
2/3’s of our team is %100 on the new template, we have made progress but is a heck of a complicated beast the one we are dealing here.
- The new “index” is completed, you’ll see that the “Blocs” of data are gone and now is all filters.
- Filters are quicker (they are loaded on the page, so searching is quick), you can edit filters fields without editing, you can sort columns, you can re-arrange columns order, you can limit the number of results.
- Concurrent edits now have a warning, meaning two people can not edit the same object
- Forms are generated “automatically”, this is quite cool as we dont have anymore one page per form, there is one piece of code that “Generates” every form anywhere on the system … this gives us a huge control on the software ew did no have before
- Notifications will be done this week, they include new features: feedback portal is new, rich html on body, simpler interface, you can see what emails where triggered by each notification, mails on BCC or CC (as now), Etc
Next week we’ll start work on reports, which is i would say the big new thing on this templates. You will be able to define your own templates and generate better PDF reports, more once we are there.
We are estimating that we need at least one more month from today, so patience please

The new report functionality has been designed, we are now in the very tedious coding process. You will define your own templates out of “widgets” that you are going to “drag and drop” into the template and then “configure them”. Report templates will be an additional dropdown on the menu:
We’ll start with 4 basic widgets:
- Free Text: this is an editor that will let you set titles, paragraphs, colours, etc.
- Filters: this is a “saved” filter (as we have now), filters now include titles, descriptions and “limit”
- Graphs: this is a pre-designed graph, charts, etc. We’ll provide one or two to start with and more (many more) can be created as needed. Graphs are full and half width and include a text and description you can customise.
- Table Data: this is the table we have now with data, it will be re-freshed and reviewed and you will be able to choose which fields to show and which ones not.
Remember index wont have “chunks” of data any more and so you will click on the item and a “view” option will be there, once you click there you will be shown all templates (by default your favourite) and you will need to “generate”…once you do that the report is shown (with options to export to pdf)
That is the general idea of reports on every section.
Any updates on the release ?
We are working non stop but we want to have a more complete dev environment before we make a video that shows the general changes, a quick snap here made yesterday of the new report capability:

reports will be build as templates by users and saved, they will be shown on the “index” of a section or sent by email as filter reports now.
Next week we’ll build a “demo video” and share it with all of you for feedback!

Great video, really like the new UI
Section: Security Operations - Security Incidents,
Question:
- Will the new UI/UX have effect on layout/output/content in recurring reports based on existing filters?
Chart wish:
2) Chart in section: Security Operation / Security Incidents - divided into (first priority) Business Units
3) Chart in section: Compliance Package Analysis
Best Regards

Thanks for the Outlook to the new UX/UI.
Some Chart functionalities for the risk Management part would be nice. I’m still working on a really comprehensive but clear and simple graphical representation of our security risk Situation which is understandable for management. Didn’t come to a final answer yet… Maybe you’re having one 
?
I could think of two solutions:
A) heatmap with the axis Impact and Probability, each Point represents a risk (maybe with numbers for a legend of the risks?
B) Radar Chart. Would only make sens if we were able to group the risks by some categories. Then we could show it in a Radar Chart with risk score and residual score.
In short: Radar Charts and heatmaps for the risks would be great.
Ok - this one we had it in mind , we’ll have two types, section (which shows all risks) and item (which shows the risk selected highlighted from the rest). We will probably put “dots” without names as it could get too complicated given the small space on the chart…we’ll see.
can you show me a google image with an example?
ps. have you received the email i sent a few days ago with teh notification about the new template?
Today i was working on the default “item” and “section” reports for every section , this will be useful for you to have a basic template to start with (you can edit it or create new ones if you want of course).
In this case i was testing the policy item report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nKFecY7YKih6TuqQnB33AX87GxnknWJT/view
As you can see things are starting to take shape, we need to work a bit more on the formatting (some text and graphs are cut out on the pdf export) but if you ask me, this is a zillion times better than we had before (the “export to pdf option”).

Really looking forward to the new UI/UX… do we have a projected release date?
totally missed your question about the radar chart
something like this for example
of course there must be a legend e.g. red = risk before controls, green = current risk, blue = targeted residual risk (respectively the risk acceptance).
there is also a nice risk presentation in one of the atlassian products. We have just one value but I like the colors.
Curious about this myself. Any ETA?
Fair (and good) question. We are almost done with development and we are now in deep testing, bug hunting and fixing … this is in our experience the later stages of any release. Internally we have november (first week) as a beta release deadline … but to be fair, we had the same deadline in October 
I can assure everyone that %99 of our development capacity since May 2018 has been on this damn project - nearly %70 of eramba is now brand new code and although is wonderful (is a bit like having a restored or even new car) it takes a ton of testing making sure it all works and is safe to use.

Thanks, I appreciate how much work is involed. Looking forward to the beta when it’s ready.
We’re eagerly awaiting this release so we can start attaching audit evidence via API. Are you still on pace for a beta release this week?
maybe next week … we’ll keep you all posted dont worry
