Release note 1.34

1. New Features

1.1 Workflows — more triggers, actions, and control flow

Workflows (introduced in Release note - KAWA 1.33) are KAWA’s automation builder: define a trigger (WHEN), chain actions (THEN), pass outputs between steps, and monitor every run in Run history. In 1.34, Workflows expand with an On data refresh trigger, more built-in actions (Enrich data with AI, Reports, Build a chart, Export to data source, Generate output, User task), and control-flow blocks (If/Else, Routing, Interrupt workflow) for real-world orchestration.

You can read more about this in the The Workflows section.

Workflows now support richer automation from end to end:

• New trigger: On data refresh — run a Workflow automatically right after a selected data source refreshes (supports multiple sources with OR logic).

• New actions to build pipelines without leaving the editor

  • Enrich data with AI (generate output columns per row)

  • Report (select a report from the workspace and use it later in the Workflow as an artifact)

  • Build a chart (from previous steps or any Sheet)

  • Export to data source (export a table result with export mode + access policy)

  • Generate output (produce a text result using variables from prior steps)

  • User task (assign a task to a user and collect form inputs before the Workflow continues)

• New logic blocks for advanced orchestration

  • If / Else with multiple rules (AND logic), comparing values from prior steps (grid, aggregates, properties)

  • Routing to split one input table into multiple routes (R1/R2/R3…), each with its own slice and actions

  • Interrupt workflow to immediately stop execution (useful as an “emergency stop” inside branches/routes)

• More ways to run workflows: from the Controls panel (button → Run workflow) and from AI Chat as Agent commands (add workflows to an agent and run them directly from chat)

1.2 Create Multi-sheets — support Pivot tables and Charts across multiple sheets

Now user can create a Multi-sheet (a combined sheet) that consists of several child sheets. A Multi-sheet supports working with multiple primary data sources in one object.

• Multi-sheet supports Pivot Table and Chart as the main modes (Grid Flat is disabled), so user can build visualizations using columns from different child sheets.

• Filters show all Multi-sheet columns (from all child sheets).

• A 2-level hierarchy was added to the column picker: Data sources → Columns, so sources don’t get mixed into one list and the setup is easier to understand.

• For Multi-sheet, the “Join a new data source” option was removed.

• For Multi-sheet, AI Chat and Automations are disabled; the Model is still available, but read-only.

• Editing actions that don’t make sense for Multi-sheets were removed: Edit linked columns and mapping edit.

1.3 Views — cancel a computation

Long-running computations can now be interrupted directly from the loading state using a Cancel action. A new backend command, InterruptComputation, stops the current computation and returns a CANCELLED status (with metadata and empty records).

1.4 Reports — Read-only (View) mode

Reports now have a clearer View (read-only) mode designed for presenting and consuming content:

• A dedicated View mode toggle is available.

• When a user has read-only access, Reports open in View mode by default.

• The Control panel works in View mode: if at least one control exists, it is shown so viewers can apply filters without editing the report.

• Export to PDF is available in View mode.

2. Improvements & Bugs fixes

2.1 Data sources

• Changed data deletion permissions

2.2 Pivot table & charts

• Improved legend behaviour

2.3 Filters

• Improved Text filters: User can now paste a list of values copied from Excel into a text filter. KAWA converts line breaks into ; and automatically selects all pasted values (even if they are not currently in the list). The same behavior is supported in the Control panel.

• Improved Date filter

2.4 Reports

• Improved AI widgets

• Visual polish and UI fixes

• Added button to duplicate dashboards

2.4 Applications

• Added Export as CSV content of views in Applications

2.5 Python

• Scripts — built-in script library: Scripts can now be marked as built-in (builtIn: true) and surfaced as a dedicated “built-in” set in the Scripts list (with a filter). Built-in scripts are read-only for users: they can’t be deleted, renamed, edited (description), or shared — only Add to favorites is available.

2.6 Authentication

• Improved API key management

2.7 Other

• Improved Conditional formatting

3. Patch releases (1.34.x)

Patch 1.34.2

• Fixed Python step timeout behavior to ensure workflows fail gracefully instead of hanging the workflow engine

Patch 1.34.3

• Fixed workflow Date filters not resolving LAST DATE

• Fixed workflow computations incorrectly using the server default timezone: scheduled runs now use the workflow creator’s timezone, and all other runs use the triggering user’s timezone

Patch 1.34.4

• Add environment variable KAWA_EMAIL_IS_ENABLED to control email related features. It is FALSE by default.

• Improve Workflow engine stability when jobs get stuck

• Improve stability of drag and drop columns on the Grid
