Product updates

Relations are now a fully configurable property type. Define your own relation types and decide which element types they connect. 

Key Features:

• Relation as a Property: Add a "Relation" property to any element type and name it whatever the connection actually represents — "Belongs to Campaign," "Owner Team," "Depends on," "Supports OKR."
• Configurable Searchable Element Types: Choose exactly which element types can be related in a given field. 
  
• Unidirectional or Bidirectional: Pick whether the relation flows one way, or have the reverse relation auto-created on the related element with the name you choose.
  
• Limit 1 or Multiple: When set to Limit 1, the field can only contain one value. If a user adds a new relation, it automatically replaces the existing one.
• Search, Add, or Create Inline: Search elements directly in the field; create new elements from the field if they don't exist yet.
• Updated Network Graph: Arrows visualize uni- vs. bidirectional. Secondary relations toggleable. The Network Graph can be placed on the element detail page via the element configuration.
• Recommended Relations updated: Accepting a recommended relation now requires picking the target relation field.
• Import, Export & API: Relation fields are part of Excel export/import and the element API response.
• Legacy Relations Migrated: Existing static relation fields are auto-converted to relation fields.

The Campaign module reaches End of Life in CW 25. With dynamic relation fields released this week, you can now model the same setups more flexibly via Parent-Child Relations.

What changes:

• Campaign Element Type becomes a standard Element Type; Campaign-specific Board and workflow are removed.
• Workflow phase status, names, and task history are no longer stored. On request ITONICS can export this to CSV.
• The "which Idea belongs to which Campaign" link is automatically migrated to a relation field.

What stays intact: All Campaign elements, all properties, all Idea data, and all relations. Campaign-specific Ideas remain visualizable as a Board via relation filters.

Replacement path: 

On the Idea element type, create a new property of type Relation:

• Field name: Belongs to Campaign
• Related to: Specific element types → Campaign
• Relation type: Two-way (separated field)
• Related property name: Ideas

Use Folders, Pages, Boards and Workflow for the presentation and governance layer. 

We redesigned notification e-mails with the new design system to make updates clearer, more consistent, and easier to scan.

Key Features:

• Updated Design: Notification e-mails now follow the new design system for a cleaner and more consistent experience.
• Priority-based Delivery: High-priority notifications are sent immediately, while medium-priority updates are batched and delivered within 5 minutes.
  
• Element Updates in the E-mail: Field changes and the person who made them are now shown directly in the notification body.
  
• Clear Context and Branding: Organization names appear in the subject, workspace details are shown where relevant, and organization notifications use the logo.

The API (v2) can handle now file attachments and rich text. Integrations can round-trip the content you actually work with — not a stripped-down version of it.

Key Features:

• Attachment Endpoint: Allocate, list or detach files to elements via the new /attachment endpoint group. Files are uploaded once via the existing /files endpoint and then attached to the target element/property by reference. 
• Rich Text Preservation via API: Rich-text property values accept plain HTML on input (e.g., <p>hello</p>) or base64:-prefixed HTML for payloads that would otherwise need careful escaping.

Your tables now act less like a static report and more like a true tool for managing your innovation portfolio. Configure, organize, and visualize data directly from the table — no setup detours required.

Key Features:

• Column Menu Actions: Sort, Hide, Pin, and Move columns — all directly from the column header.
• Edit Field Configuration in Table: Update a property's name, description, values and mandatory settings via "Edit property" in the column menu, without leaving the table.
• Add & Create Fields in Table: Spin up a new property right from the column picker. No need to jump to the element configuration.
• New Properties Available: Created At, Created By, and Collections are now selectable as table properties — surface ownership and history at a glance.
• Color Rules: Define row colors based on any property value. Example: turn rows red when "Health Status = Critical" and green when "Health Status = On Track" — so the projects that need executive attention surface instantly in your next quarterly portfolio review.
• Cell Wrapping, Cell Scaling & Row Size: Adapt row height to content or set custom sizing so long text and richer cells stay readable.

We’ve added multi-sort capabilities to the Table View, making it easier to organize and analyze large sets of elements.

For example, in project portfolio management, users can sort first by strategic priority, then by business impact, project status, and target date to review the most important and time-critical projects first.

We’ve expanded the ITONICS API with additional endpoints to support more integration and automation scenarios.

Key Features:

• Like Endpoint: Enables working with likes via API.

We’ve improved Excel exports by making column ordering more predictable and consistent.

Key Features:

• Stable Column Order: Export columns now remain consistent across repeated exports.
• Predictable Custom Fields: Custom fields are ordered by the date they were added to the element type, so newly added fields are appended consistently.
• Rename-Safe Ordering: Renaming fields no longer affects their position in the export.

Important:

• Column order may change once after rollout due to the new sorting logic but will remain stable after that.

Scheduled maintenance will take place on May 10, 2026 from 09:00 PM to 10:00 PM CEST.
During this time the system may be temporarily unavailable. Please plan accordingly.
