Streamlining UI Configurations
The second thing I want to quickly point out is something that is a major source of friction or takes time away from your regular day-to-day project activities: configurations. When you need a UI configuration file, you submit a support ticket, receive the file, make the necessary changes, and then submit another ticket to publish it. Now, you can do every task on your own. Hence, you may simply download, modify, and upload the file. I will not go too far into it.
We have also considered the configurator and administrator personas, making it simpler for them to set up Reltio UI and accelerate their time to value. These are the topics I wanted to discuss and demonstrate to you.
Why the move ?
We understand that change is difficult. But why did we make this decision? We want to provide our clients and consumers with the most recent design ideas. Material design is the world's most extensively utilized design approach by the largest technology businesses, and we wanted to offer those benefits to you. This is a significant shift, but one that will improve the usability, efficiency, and efficacy of your daily operations.
We have also redesigned our complete technological stack, so it is not just cosmetic. Everything that drives this user interface has been altered and made more user-friendly. The technology stack must be scalable, robust, and high-performing.We will construct UI components with these new technological frameworks much more quickly. Well, reusable UI components are also much quicker. Our long-term plan is to create reusable UI components and provide them to our partners and customers so they may embed them in other UIs or develop their own UIs, but you were NOT able to do so with our previous technology. This is another important reason why we want to do this.
Shifting towards Self-Service Setup
Previously, dashboard configuration was a black box; now, with the new Reltio dashboard, it can be customized and specified by the Reltio configurators, partners, or administrators. All accessible charts have the same layout, as is shown above. You can set and modify whatever attributes you like.
If you want a new chart, administrators can simply build one, choose a chart type, and begin discussing the libraries, the kind of chart, the object types and filters, the attribute you want to manipulate, and similar details. Requesting Reltio for a file or asking Reltio or consultants to generate a chart for publication used to be a lengthy procedure. It may be performed in development or test environments and then pushed to production.
Moving forward, we want to move more towards a self-service setup, which was tough with the previous technology and architecture. We want to emphasize self-service more and for our clients to be much more autonomous. They can do all tasks without assistance from Reltio's support or experts. They execute rapidly, resulting in a quicker time to value.

Replacing the Traditional UI
How will this occur? Today, the new Reltio UI is widely accessible to all customers., We intend to transition all client tenants to the new user interface. The new Reltio UI will replace the previous or traditional UI presently used by customers. Reltio plans to deprecate the Classic user interface on 22 February 2023. But you do not have to wait until February. All users can try the new UI by simply clicking the button “Switch to New UI'' or by changing user preferences. Customers can decide to switch immediately to the new UI. For switching all users to the new UI on a tenant please raise a support ticket. We will use the period between now and Feb 2023 to collect your comments, integrate that feedback, and provide any assistance or support you may need to transition to the new user interface. Whatever input we have received so far is already being implemented, and you will see its effects in the next sprints and weekly releases.
