This release also brings further enhancements to the Universal Template in Analytics, updates to the User Pages, and more. Let us know you thoughts on these updates in our [Community Forum](https://community.tulip.co/t/release-257-discussion-thred-july-2023/8872). ## New and Improved Apps Page We have started the process of rolling a brand new apps page to all instances. As our customers have grown, they have exceeded all of our expectations on the number of applications they are running in production, and the apps page was desperately in need of a refresh. With this page come massive speed improvements, ensuring you can scale your Tulip deployments to thousands of applications with negligible performance impact. At a scale of 10k+ apps, this page will load in under 5 seconds. Additionally, we have dramatically improved the search functionality on this page and added an app preview pane to see app details in moments. ![3f1e4d45-c87b-4a5b-b156-46d64f525761.gif](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/3f1e4d45-c87b-4a5b-b156-46d64f525761.gif) ## Unleash the Power of the Universal Template in Tulip Analytics ## In our recent updates, we've introduced a significant addition to Tulip Analytics - the Universal Template. It enhances the data analysis and visualization capabilities, offering a variety of new options and a more streamlined user experience. The Universal Template is currently in public beta, and we are continuing to add more capabilities in the coming releases.

When you click into an individual user’s profile page, you can now see the Active Workspaces they are assigned to with the associated role type. The account owner toggle has been moved to the top right of the individual user’s profile page which enables user access to all Workspaces and Account Settings. ![Asset Workspace 2023 FY24 1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/Asset%20Workspace%202023%20%5BFY24%5D%20%281%29.png) ## Custom Sorting of Stations on the Shop Floor Page Stations on the Shop Floor page are now sorted alphabetically. This allows users to leverage station naming conventions to create a custom order by assigning a number at the front of the station name (ex. 1 - Station Name). ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/image%28158%29.png) ## Bug Fix Highlights Release 257 contains a couple of bug fixes that we want to highlight because they were reported by users: - Fixed issue with missing data in the PDF export of the Record History widget - Long machine names are now truncated on the Machine Details page ## Full List of Ticket ID included in Release 257 If you are tracking any of these tickets and would like more details, please contact Tulip Customer Support via support@tulip.co or live chat through your instance.

A workspace should represent a single facility, line, or department. With workspaces, users across facilities can easily collaborate, share their solutions, and improve their global operations. **Station** **Stations**are a digital representation of a physical place or device in your facility. Stations are 1:1 with **Interfaces (display devices)** running Tulip Player, but Stations can also be assigned **Edge Devices,**Tulip Vision Camera Configurations, Machines,****and more.
