We’ve made some big changes to our platform! You’ll notice our left nav bar now has a collapsible folder and some new tabs. Designed for an easier navigation, experience we’ve consolidated your dashboards & actions into the following:
‍

• Create (Green + Circle): This is where you can build assets: Flowcodes, Flowpages, and folders can all be generated via this button.
• Assets: Where you’ll be able to view and see all of your existing Flowcodes & Flowpages - click on this tab and the code/page to edit any existing assets.

We have launched version 2.0 of our developer portal updating documentation and implementation guides for easier access and a seamless integration process. We now offer 2 api call integrations:
‍

Our machine learning powered-fraud detection system has been set live. This firewall identifies and blocks scamming and phishing Flowpages built by malicious users. We report, take down, and block users once identified. 

We’ve updated security permissions throughout the platform, enhancing all of our protocols to ensure we are Soc 2 compliant and large enterprise organizations can leverage SSO (single sign on) to protect their employees and data.

You can now filter the entire analytics dashboard by a code or tag by clicking on the Code or Tag name in the Top Codes/Tags chart. Go to Real-time Flowcode/Flowpage Analytics, click on a code or tag in the Top Codes/Tags chart, click "Filter to this code".

For enterprise and pro-flex accounts that have access to the real-time interactive map currently on Flowcode Analytics. Can now see the map in Flowpage Analytics. Users can view link clicks on their Flowpage Analytics. For pages that have enhanced geolocation (interstitial) turned on, users can see which link clicks are using approximate (IP) geolocation and which are using exact (GPS) location from users who ‘opted-in’. 

All users can now see how many unique scanners scanned their codes daily in the scans by day chart. The chart has been updated to show the number of unique scanners as the secondary line, replacing the previous period line and providing more granularity. If you hover over the chart you will see a tooltip that informs them how many unique scanners scanned on that day.
