This is a summary of all changes deployed to our production environment in the scope of this release.
New Feature – Launch Date
We are adding Launch Date as a new field to Retail Data. This field will allow retailers to set the date at which a product is launched into the market and available for sale. We will use this data in various areas of the application to assist with tracking when products are launched and monitoring their performance in reporting calculations, like turn.
At the moment, Launch Date can be edited via SKU integration, and we will add the ability to edit this field manually in the application in the future.
Enhancement – SKU Integration Field Index
We are enhancing Retail Data by altering the identifier for each field. Instead of one single nomenclature for every field, we are setting the Loupe system fields to begin with "ID" and the custom fields that retailers can create to begin with "CID". This will give us flexibility to add new fields in the future without having to re-index the list and breaking downstream integrations. We expect this to save time and ease the effort made by everyone in keeping up-to-date any integrations to Loupe.
