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

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

• Improved Workflow engine stability when jobs get stuck

• Improved stability of drag and drop columns on the Grid

Patch 1.34.5

• Added “Send email” toggle to User Input Task configuration — defaults to ON when emails are enabled and is hidden when emails are disabled

• Added an Abort action in Run history → Run details to interrupt running workflow executions, updating the run status to Interrupted

• Show who triggered a workflow run (“Triggered by”) in the Workflow run history dialog

• Speeded up the linked column sheet/view selector by loading a lightweight (shallow) sheets list instead of full sheet data, while preserving server-side suggestions and default view selection

• Added a KYWY endpoint to list workspace teams and their members (team contents) for a given workspace

• Added a KYWY reporting endpoint to retrieve who viewed what (which user opened which views/dashboards, and when)

• Improved Lookup columns UX by displaying the source sheet name in the Model panel, and Lookup column field information

• Added a new “X” button in dashboards to clear all active cross filters at once (shown when 2+ cross filters are applied, including in the overflow menu), and fixed the “N more…” dropdown to display the correct overflow items

• Added a new “Last run date” column on the Workflows homepage list to show when each workflow was last executed

• Added a new “User tasks” (TODOs) section in Workflows, with a badge showing the number of pending tasks and a searchable task list that lets users open and complete task validation forms

• Added the ability to duplicate conditional formatting rules (both Single and Scale) via a new clone action, which creates a copy and opens it in the rule editor for quick adjustments

• Added a new “Trigger type” column to the Workflows list grid, displaying whether each workflow is Manual, Scheduled, or On refresh (with corresponding icons)

• Improved Workflow task naming in the editor: Transform data tasks now show clearer dynamic titles (e.g., “Load data from sheet/task”), and Python tasks display the selected script’s name instead of the generic “Run python script”

• Added a “Download widget” action for dashboard Sheet widgets (grid/pivot/chart) to export the widget’s current data as CSV — available in view mode via the widget header button and in edit mode via the widget actions dropdown

• Improved Sheets list loading by lazy-loading defaultLayoutId (no longer fetched upfront for every sheet), while keeping sheet opening/navigation, view CRUD, and sharing behavior unchanged

• Improved performance of sheet selector dropdowns by switching several dialogs to a lightweight “shallow sheets” list (full sheet details load only after selection), speeding up lookup/link/widget configuration flows—especially in workspaces with many sheets

• Improved the “Link columns” flow by auto-selecting the target column when a matching column display name is found in the targets list (users can still change the selection)

• Updated Workflow execution to stop using ApiKey and instead run actions as the initiator (PrincipalId) for more accurate permissions and auditing

• Updated Workflow permissions so users can run a workflow shared in read-only, as long as they have the workspace “Run Workflows” permission (previously it required the workflow to be shared with Edit access)

• Fixed ETL file authorization so users with Edit access can update datasource files (e.g., replace a CSV) and successfully run the ETL, resolving previous permission-related failures

• Added Entity Audit (Audit Log) support across entity pages, providing a change history modal with date/user/entity filters, an “only master” toggle, and version comparison for audited entities (e.g., sheets, data sources, reports, workflows, scripts)

• Fixed missing user timezone on first login by resolving it from the browser during workspace initialization and performing a one-time sync to persist it on the backend (without blocking workspace load)

• Enhanced Indicator charts to support text outputs

Patch 1.34.6

• Added “Transpose view” option in the grid context menu (Sheets & dashboard grid widgets) to switch between transposed and standard table layouts (swap rows/columns)

• Improved Pivot view CSV export to use client-side export with flattened headers, so the exported values/rows/columns match what users see

• Fixed dashboard full-screen widget mode so it preserves Cross Filters when opening/closing a widget in full screen (previously the cross-filter state was lost and data was reloaded from scratch)

• Added clickable “Link” properties for Workflow URLs (e.g., View Link, Image Link, Report Link) rendered as <a>

• Added “Apply format” option in the Grid column menu, with “To other fields” and “From another field” actions to copy column formatting
