Week 43 brought substantial workflow capabilities and interaction improvements. We focused on making workflows more powerful with new node types, enhancing the Navi AI assistant, and improving the overall user experience across desktop and mobile.
Features
Route Calculation in Workflows
Workflows now support route calculations with the new Router node. You can calculate optimal routes between origin and destination points with multiple travel modes including driving, walking, cycling, and driving with traffic. The Router node outputs both distance and duration metrics, making it perfect for logistics planning, delivery optimization, or accessibility analysis. This powerful new capability enables sophisticated spatial analysis workflows directly within Atlas.
Formula-Based Filtering and Calculations
We've added two new formula-powered workflow nodes that unlock advanced data manipulation. The Filter by Formula node lets you filter datasets using custom expressions, while the Formula Column node enables you to create calculated fields with complex logic. These nodes bring the full power of Atlas expressions to your workflows, allowing you to build sophisticated data processing pipelines without writing code.
Tabular Dataset Support in Workflows
Workflows now fully support tabular datasets alongside vector and raster data. You can import, process, and analyze tabular data within your workflow pipelines, opening up new possibilities for combining spatial and non-spatial data. The workflow editor displays row counts and metadata for tabular datasets, making it easy to understand your data at each step.
Timeline Slider and Unix Timestamp Support
Time-based data analysis got a major upgrade. The new timeline slider widget lets you interactively explore temporal data with a visual timeline interface. We've added comprehensive Unix timestamp support across filters, widgets, styling, and legends, making it easier to work with time-series data and create time-aware visualizations.
Workflow Triggers
Workflows can now be automated with webhooks and scheduled execution. Set up your workflows to run automatically based on external events or on a recurring schedule, enabling powerful automation scenarios like regular data updates, scheduled reports, or event-driven processing.
Tabs Widget for Interfaces
Interface builders can now add a tabs widget to organize content. This new widget type helps create cleaner, more organized custom interfaces by grouping related information into separate tabs, perfect for complex dashboards or data entry forms with multiple sections.
