AYON 1.15.1 - CSV Import and Production Tracking Enhancements

This release is packed with a massive amount of new features and an equally impressive list of bug fixes to make your production tracking smoother than ever.

📥 CSV Import

AYON Web UI Import folders and tasks interface showing step 2 Map columns. CSV file column path and entity_type are mapped to target Path and Entity type with Abort Import error handling. Other columns like folder_type, status, and description are mapped with Skip Row error handling. Right pane displays a Data preview of the shots hierarchy from the Shots.csv file.
Mapping CSV columns to AYON project entities during data import

Skip the manual setup with our flexible new importer. Whether you’re building project hierarchies, populating lists, or onboarding your entire team, getting data into AYON has never been easier.

  • Smart Mapping: Effortlessly match spreadsheet columns to AYON fields.

  • Paste from Clipboard: No file needed—simply copy rows from Excel or Google Sheets and paste them directly into the browser.

  • Presets: Save your configurations as Presets to automate future migrations.

🍰 Slicing by Lists

AYON Project Overview page interface demonstrating the Slicer panel and task table. The left Slicer panel displays a "Lists" dropdown menu with the "Characters" list selected and highlighted. The main data table is filtered to show only folder and task entities belonging to the "Characters" list, including assets for dog, chicken, and cat with associated tasks for modeling, rigging, and shading. Columns displayed include Folder / Task path, Status (Not ready, Omitted, Ready to start, Approved), and Task Type (Modeling, Rigging, Lookdev, Art).

Custom Lists are now integrated directly into the Slicer panel.

  • Quick Filtering: Instantly isolate table items based on specific list memberships.

  • Cross-Context View: See exactly how your curated lists relate to the broader project production state.

🗂️ Group by Folders

We have overhauled the grouping logic on the Products and Overview pages to provide a more intuitive and flexible experience.

  • Grouping by folder: You can now group tasks by folder, making it easy to create shot or asset list views.

AYON tasks grouped by their parent folder. In this example each folder is a shot like 030_0010 through 040_0050

📣 Mention Teams in Comments

You can now mention an entire Team in the Activity Feed.

  • Mention a team (e.g., @Lighting or @Compositors) to automatically notify all its members in their Inbox.

The message box contains the text "Maybe someone from @Assets can help fix the model?" with the Assets team tag highlighted as a blue UI pill element.
