Changes in Supported Environments

Camunda Platform

Optimize now requires at least Camunda Platform 7.15.0 and supports up to 7.17.0+. Camunda Platform 7.14.x is not supported anymore. See the Supported Environments sections for the full range of supported versions.

New Behavior

Due to a general overhaul in the public API, the authentication to all API requests must now be performed via a Bearer Token in the request header. On previous versions you had two possible ways to authenticate your API requests: Either by providing the secret as the query parameter accessToken or by providing it in the request header as a Bearer Token. If you were using the latter method, no change is necessary and your requests will just keep working as usual. If you were using the query Parameter method you will need to change your requests. For more information please see Authorization.

Text from “What’s new” dialogue

For the purposes of translation, please find the text for the What's new dialogue below:

## Set and Track Time-Based Goals

Set data-driven service level agreements (SLAs) on how long all your processes should take so you can quickly identify which processes are underperforming.

## KPI Reports

Create reports and alerts tracking percentages like fully automated instances or incident rate (%), plus SLA statistics on durations like P99 or P95 duration in addition to minimum, median, and maximum.

## Improved UX

Rename variables in plain language, filter out noisy outlier analysis heatmaps, and apply rolling date filters to your dashboards to focus on the most important data.
