Hyro now supports the ability for the "Navigate to scene" & "Toggle asset" On-Click actions to work across screens. You can access this functionality by using the renewed On-Click action drop-down within the top bar of the story designer, after selecting an asset that supports On-Click actions. Read the documentation on this advanced feature here.

The look and the layout of the Story Designer have been improved in several small ways to make it more intuitive:

Transitions settings are moved to the top bar in the story designer (transitions itself still are added in the right side panel).

It is now possible when configuring a “On-Click: go to scene” action to select the first scene when on the last scene and and the last scene on the first scene, so a user can click through a story like a carousel (in a loop).

For the “On-Click action: toggle” action a user can now select the source asset (the assets on which the On-Click toggle action is being configured) as a target asset (the asset for which the On-Click toggle action is configured for), making it possible for the toggle action to “toggle” on itself.

We have implemented a shortcut for adding textboxes with the “T” key

There is now a limit of 40 characters for scene titles, so that scenes can be easily identified

When hovering over an item (scene, screen, asset, background, trigger, transition, etc.) the full title is shown in an tooltip.

When a transition is configured for a scene, an icon is displayed on the scene in the Story Designer side panel, so users no longer have to click on a scene to see if a transition has been configured for it.

We renamed the status “Verification pending“ to “Pending“ so the status takes up less space in the Users & Domains settings

The way a user can drag scenes have been improved (making it consistent with the the way a user can drag assets): You will see the original position of a scene while dragging it

When there are no domains listed in the 'domains' field on the “create new user” modal, the 'Regenerate Link' button is disabled.

Default scaling text of textbox is now unproportionally (without holding shift), and does not keep the proportion set by the initial placement of the textbox. Scaling text while holding “shift” scales the asset proportionally.

It is no longer possible to upload an avatar that exceeds the maximum file size (including warning) and an error is shown.

Several custom fonts were added for different clients.

Misc. technical improvements.
​

Fixed an issue where it was not possible to copy a screensaver when there already was a screensaver set on a different screen (it now works the same as pasting a screensaver to the same screen when one is already set)

Fixed an issue where when input fields for an asset position (width, height, etc) could be left empty. With this fixes the fields are filled with the previous valid value

Fixed an issue where fonts could be made bold with short keys, despite the with bold option not being available.

Fixed an issue where there sometimes was an error when resizing cropped Image and Video assets by dragging.

Fixed an issue where it was possible to resize backgrounds and transitions beyond the lower limit by dragging, this is no longer possible.

Fixed an issue where the ‘story broken’ page was not shown when a story is broken due to having no scenes, now the page is shown.

Fixed an issue where the story needed to be redownloaded on the tablet when a user only had selected and deselected assets in the CMS

Fixed an issue where it sometimes was possible to save scenes for stories a user was not an editor for

Fixed styling on collaboration modal

Fixed an issue with the ‘Setup’ field in the ‘Edit trigger’ modal, causing an admin sometimes not to be able do add or edit a trigger.

Fixed an issue where a user was not able to save changes to the story settings, because optional filters suddenly became required, causing the story designer to reinitialize.

Fixed an issue where when a user was editing a trigger that was previously configured for a deleted target, the trigger would disappear from the list of created triggers.

Improved the look in the “edit user“ modal in CMS User settings by aligning some elements better.

Guest Domain Admin can now only change Active state and Roles and the fields First name, Last name, Password, Password Confirm fields are now disabled

Fixed an issue where the required story list filters where not always displayed as such, they now have a red border when no value is selected.

We fixed several issues where tooltips where too close to the edge of the screen canvas. They no longer behave crazy (flickering) and they are now displayed in view.

We fixed an issue where not all font were being preloaded, causing them to jump when the story loads.

We fixed an issue were a user couldn’t change the scene title anymore when it was empty, this is now possible

Fixed a bug were when the user uploads multiple media and adds a URL, they no longer get a validation error.

We now show an error message when user tries to create a story with a title that already exists.

We fixed an issue where the user got taken to undefined scene when session reinitializes after deleting first scene, now the first scene is selected.

It is now possible to move and resize a transition on child setups.

We fixed an issue were the Story Designer became unresponsive when copying On-Click actions with both warnings (for no target and same scene), the user is able to interact with Story Designer after pressing Continue on both warnings.

On the story list on the control tablet the scroll height is now reset when user changes page in story list

Using control on desktop doesn't cause Hyro player to disconnect anymore.
