Welcome to the March edition of Orkes Monthly Highlights.

With March, we’ve wrapped up Q1 2023. It was a busy month for us, and we are proud to share that we have accomplished our goals for the first quarter of the year.

Let’s dive into the highlights of the most exciting events, product updates, and what we have in store for April.

Product Updates

Create Task Definitions using UI Forms

Previously, you could create task definitions from the Conductor UI only in the JSON format. With the latest update, you can now create task definitions more visually by filling in built-in forms to input data for creating tasks.
