Improvements

We’ve been working hard on improving the ELIX web portal. Here are just a few of the changes we’ve made recently:

In the future, we’re planning to build in the ability to edit product and campaign cards by clicking on them in the dashboard.

We’ve improved the usability of the product and campaign creation tools within the product and campaign dashboard. We plan to add validation and better alert views for user errors soon. We have improved the way campaign and product data is saved, so we have reset all campaigns and products on the open beta, but we can migrate any data if requested.
