- Added the OEE Waterfall widget.
- Connected Operations - Activity
- In Activities, the Calculated value field on activity templates now supports custom formulas, giving users more flexibility than the previous preset functions.
Improvements
- Reports: Grouping by Shift Name or Instance now also includes shifts that overlap the widget time range, cutting the data at the boundaries.
- Fixes an issue in assistant where the chat input would grow to cover the conversation.
- Edge and Factory devices set up through fleet provisioning now detect their device type automatically when connecting to the cloud, instead of relying on a hardcoded value. (Technical detail:
THING_TYPEis now set in/data/greengrass/config/environment, and the IoT Core topic prefixfbedge/…orfbfactory/…is derived from it.)
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where cross-week shifts would be displayed incorrectly on the first day of the week.
- Fixed a bug where an Action Plan would not open if its creator no longer has an account.

Connected Operations - Activity
- Count since completion is now a template level setting, meaning “counting” triggers will reset/count from any submitted template activity.

Bug fixes
- Solved an issue on the Line View where switching lines resulted in the previous line's sensor data being shown
