Updates
Synthetic measurements: Display the LCP element and the LCP URL on the Synthetic Performance Details and Instant Measurement Pages
FID is removed from the CrUX Report page in accordance with the market
Updated Dark Theme
Follows the same UI/UX as the Simple Light Theme
Simple Light theme was renamed to Light
Users can continue using dark and light themes, as well as the others. However, users switching themes can only use the dark and light themes. In January 2025, all users will be transitioned to use the dark or light themes based on their preference.

Revenue Calculator page: The Conversion Rate Over Time graph displaying data for all pages independent of the filter settings
Synthetic Monitors page, Error State Tracking page, Performance Details page: Occasional performance issue resulting in extended load times

This release delivers the VitalScope in the RUM Performance Overview page, and a few visual updates to the Synthetic Performance Details and Instant Measurement pages.

Portal v6.7.2
August 22, 2024

This was causing the most recent data point for the Core Metrics By Site report to change the next day the report ran
Fixed an issue for daily bucketed percentile data that is accessing Core Web Vitals metrics where the data was not properly getting the selected time zone applied
This was causing daily bucketed percentile data to be off by a few hours. In the case of the Eastern time zone, it was off by 4 hours at the bottom of the hour and 4 hours at the top of the hour. It was looking at 00:00 UTC instead of 00:00 EDT (04:00 UTC)
Updated the query that accesses the Site Availability log to remove any duplicated data that may exist in the system. This prevented an issue where the API was accessing too much data and running out of memory.
Portal v8.7
August 14, 2024
Adjusted the way that we are presenting the percentile data on the Performance Details page and Data Science page. This should make it so that all the percentile data throughout the portal and emailed reports is presented in the same way.
The Performance Details numbers in the cards and in the bar graphs will no longer be created by averaging the data points in the line graph
Each data set is now its own query to prevent averaging percentiles together
Line graph for all selected pages (not clicking on a bar)
Line graph when clicking on a bar
Cards when not selecting a bar
Bar graphs / Cards when selecting a bar
The table at the bottom of the Data Science page is now created from its own query instead of averaging the numbers from the line graph above

Improvements
On the Revenue Calculator and Revenue Opportunity pages, the order of the Performance Metric and Granularity Filters was changed so that you choose Performance Metric first, which changes the available options of the Granularity
CLS and INP/FID go down to .01 granularity and most users do not realize because the workflow was previously select granularity and then select metric.
Better delineation for user access and user roles in the user creation/edit screen
Updating the label for Data Type and Data Origin to (where only RUM data present) Real User Data Type and Data Originated From

Upcoming Changes
In order to improve the performance and reliability of the API, measures have been made to control the rate of API requests that may be initiated to the Blue Triangle Public API. This change will affect less than 1% of connections and will results in a HTTP 429 message so that a backoff and retry method may be utilized.
In an effort to make SMS Alerts easier to consume we have aligned the amount of detailed information. The following information is included: site name, alert name, status, error code, as well as a link back to the Blue Triangle Customer Portal where detailed historical information is available.
Fix for an issue on our synthetic filmstrips where single page filmstrips and the first step in a multi step measurement always had the first frame displayed twice
