# Xponent October 2019 Release Notes

## Overview

The October 2019 release introduces a new feature called Journey Steps, the ability to integrate your customized performance dashboard into the Hub and bug fixes.

## New Features

### [Journey Steps](/v1/docs/creating-a-journey-step)

- Journey Steps can now be created with outcomes (positive, neutral, negative) defined in the Journey tab
- Integration between Journey Maps and Graphs is improved through Journey Steps appearing in both parts of the hub
- Graphs and Journey Maps can now be associated with specific Journey Steps to ensure main points of interest to a business are captured in project execution
- With this release, past default journey "steps" in the journey map will now be re-named to "node" to avoid confusion and to align with graph nomenclature

### [Xponent ID Manager](/v1/docs/xponent-id-manager)

- The Xponent ID Manager introduces an integrated profile store, journey step and interaction database into the Xponent Hub
- This simplifies existing workflows by automatically storing the values associated with a customer into the database and serves as the main source of building the customer profile
- This eliminates manual consolidation of customer profiles via automated profile collapsing against matching identities and enables granular visibility into a customer's journey performance
- The Xponent Identity Manager stores customer profiles, journey steps and interactions via:
  - [Update Profile Node](https://kitewheel.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/K2/pages/730595329/Update+Profile+Node)
    - Merging (or collapsing) one or more profiles in the profile store and returning a single profile
  - [Interaction Type](/v1/docs/creating-an-interaction-type)
    - Saves the details of the current interaction to the Xponent Profile Store via the [Save Interaction Node](/v1/docs/save-interaction-node)
  - [Identifier Type](/v1/docs/creating-an-identifier-type)
    - Provides a way for you to identify and manage your customer profile

### [Performance Dashboard](/v1/docs/performance-dashboard)

- Provide a custom view into project goals and KPI’s that include customer and project specific information that is not included in [Journey Discovery Analytics](/v1/docs/journey-discovery-analytics-dashboard)
- Performance Dashboards are integrated into the hub to provide immediate data critical to your business
- Please see your Customer Success Manager or Support team for more information on how to specify and access reports
