            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Summer 2025 update represents one of our most significant releases to date. The core functionality in Console remains the same but this update brings major improvements to the user interface, introduces AI-powered features with Oribi, and enhances overall system performance and reliability.</p>
<h3 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_sY8N" id="-major-new-features">🌟 Major New Features<a href="http://localhost:3000/releases/2025/07/21/console-summer-2025-release#-major-new-features" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to 🌟 Major New Features" title="Direct link to 🌟 Major New Features" translate="no">​</a></h3>
<p><strong>1. Oribi AI Assistant Integration</strong></p>
<p>We're excited to introduce Oribi, our new AI-powered data scientist that revolutionizes how you interact with your data. Oribi provides intelligent briefings and alerts with personalized insights and recommendations and enables natural language conversations for instant data queries. Talk to a member of the Spaaza team to activate Oribi.</p>

<p><strong>2. New design</strong></p>
<p>Console has been completely redesigned with a modern design system featuring fresh, clean aesthetics and improved typography. We've implemented responsive layouts that provide better mobile and tablet support through container-fluid layouts, ensuring a consistent experience across all devices. The navigation has been enhanced with a redesigned sidebar with improved organization for better usability.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" alt="New Console Design" src="http://localhost:3000/assets/images/new-design-2aee1429880fac69fe9ddb1a56c4f3b7.png" width="4674" height="3434" class="img_RWFP"></p>
<p><strong>3. Updated Dashboard and date filtering</strong></p>
<p>Console's home page dashboard has been improved and the date filtering system has been redesigned with timezone support. YOu can now also set the precise times you want reported on.</p>

<p><strong>4. Campaign Groups</strong></p>
<p>We've introduced new campaign grouping functionality for better organization. A campaign group now needs to be created before creating campaigns. All campaigns within a group share the same start and end date and will soon also share other attributes. This makes managing member-pricing, micro-programs and other collections of campaigns much easier. Groups also have reports and summary and approval document generation features.</p>

<p><strong>5.App pages</strong></p>
<p>You can now create and edit new pages for your app using Console's Content Management System (CMS). This makes it easy to support initiatives like <a href="https://www.spaaza.com/solutions/program-types/gamification/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">Clubs</a>, <a href="https://www.spaaza.com/solutions/program-types/micro-programs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">Microprograms</a> and <a href="https://www.spaaza.com/solutions/program-types/gamification/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">Missions</a> in Spaaza's apps. You can read more about the updates to the mobile app and content management system in the <a class="" href="http://localhost:3000/docs/channels/mobile-apps">documentation</a>.</p>
