Sprint 45 October 2025 - Release Notes for Alluvial

Sprint: Sprint 45
Dates: October 2025

📧 Registration Flow — User Self Account Creation / Validation

Established a new registration flow for users to create their own accounts, including email validation and password setup.

🔒 Container Administration

Established a new container admin experience to manage scaling of containers.
Pipelines — Staging vs Dev Orchestration - pipeline execution order and shared results to prioritize platform builds, reduce duplicate agent jobs, and improve throughput.

🧭 Project Validation

Completed development activities to remove the project picker and introduced potential for tenant-level “project validation” settings.

🎨 Branding and UI

Removed the initial flash from dark to white on the light theme.
Brand Search UI update delivered.

🔍 Documentation Search

Search now uses the prebuilt index, eliminating raw HTML/Markdown in results.

📝 Message Formatting

Messages moved to Markdown to be consistent with User Page module.

Sprint 44 September 2025 - Release Notes for Alluvial

Sprint: Sprint 44
Dates: September 2025

🧭 Workspace Creation: Fabric or Embedded

Users can now choose between Embedded capacity and Fabric capacity when creating a new Power BI workspace. Under the hood, SDK evaluation was completed to list Fabric capacities as part of this flow.

🛡️ Project Administration: Set Projects Inactive

Platform admins can set a project to InActive from the project administration action menu (tenant-admin area).

🔐 Power BI Token generation for multi-model scenarios

Work was completed around token generation where reports rely on two semantic models. Test assets were published to staging to validate Import, DirectQuery-to-model, and Composite cases.

✅ Validation hardening in project and file management

Folder names in File Management now allow only letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and hyphens to avoid Azure AI Search encoding issues. Project Edit enforces a non-empty AzureRegionIds list, and forms no longer appear “dirty” immediately upon opening.

🐞 Fixes: home page exception and broken images

An exception related to filling the project name on the home page layout request was resolved. Broken image links on External User login and “Forgot password” flows were fixed.

🎨 UI/icons compatibility guidance

A closed item documents investigation into Vuetify and Font Awesome versions: FA 6.7.2 with Vuetify 3.8.7 renders icons correctly, while FA 7.0.0 and Vuetify 3.9.x require additional review before upgrades.

📝 Markdown conversions and asset handling

User pages were converted to Markdown and validated via unit tests ahead of tenant review. Ongoing work continues to move messages to Markdown. Image storage locations for Markdown uploads were clarified.

📦 Container workload profiles (in progress)

The team is adding the ability to select a container workload profile during app creation, with options for cooldown period, minimum replicas, and resource sizing; only platform admins will control these resources. Additional telemetry tasks were deferred to separate work.

🔗 Endpoint updates and indexing pipeline (in progress)

Production and staging endpoint links are being updated, including skillset fixes, flow testing, and a link correction inside the job. An index pipeline job is also being created as part of this work.

📊 Staging test assets and user import

Sample Power BI and Paginated reports were added to staging projects to aid testing.

Sprint 43 August 2025 - Release Notes for Alluvial

Sprint: Sprint 43
Dates: August 2025

🧾 Overview

This sprint focused on streamlining documentation links, improving file management, refining Doc AI integration, and tightening database and deployment practices.

🔗 Documentation & Links

Documentation and support URLs are now hardcoded on the frontend (not fetched from the database). Platform and brand site links were updated to point to the new alluvial.app/docs pages. Legacy documentation/support values and related tenant parameters were removed from the database.

🌐 Brand Site Deployment

The alluvial.app brand site was deployed in tandem with the platform release to ensure documentation and navigation updates landed consistently.

✉️ Notifications Control

A new toggle on Project Admin > Properties allows administrators to disable email notifications when user access changes (e.g., role updates). A corresponding module parameter (UserAccessChangedEmailIsSent) supports this behavior.

📁 File Management – Reliability

Deleting files was improved. The solution aligns with Azure Storage backup policies, and redundant metadata/soft-deletion logic was cleaned up. Deleted files are also purged from the search index to prevent stale results.

📤 File Management

Productivity: Multi-file upload is now supported, replacing the previous one-file-per-submission limitation. Additional UI/UX refinements make the file module more consistent and easier to use.

Container app options were expanded—OpenAs (iframe or new window), DisplayOnlyContainer, and ChildDomainName (used for {childdomainname}.alluvial.app via YARP). Left navigation now references templates correctly, and edit pages save the new fields.

🤖 Doc AI Workflow & Resources

Doc AI processing after file upload was decoupled into an event-driven flow to protect user experience if downstream processing fails. Azure AI Search and Foundry resources were aligned to production and staging environments. Behavior around source usage for new projects was corrected for consistency.

🎨 UI & Content Polish

Brand-site hyperlinks are now underlined and use distinct colors (with dark/light theme variants) for better accessibility. Embedded “User Admin” help text was modernized and simplified to direct users toward official documentation. A tooltip warning in the navbar was resolved.

Sprint 42 July 2025 - Release Notes for Alluvial

Sprint: Sprint 42
Dates: July 2025

🔍 Search & Edit

Updated. Visual differences
Edit page “Save” buttons changed from icon to text.
When multiple options exist, “Save” now opens a dropdown (Save; Save and Return; etc.).

🔒 Document Intelligence (DOC AI)

Doc AI introduces an intuitive, conversational interface for interacting with your document repository: users can now “chat” directly with uploaded files to quickly locate information, clarify content, or extract key data without manual searching. Built on top of the existing Folders Module, Doc AI leverages the same secure upload, organization, and permissions framework you already use—ensuring a seamless experience for administrators and end users alike. Behind the scenes, our indexing engine transforms each document into a rich knowledge graph, enabling natural‐language queries that return precise, contextually relevant results. Whether you’re onboarding new team members, responding to client inquiries, or conducting detailed analysis, Doc AI streamlines document management and accelerates insight discovery—transforming static files into an interactive, intelligent resource.
