You may not have been aware, but the Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) application you use through Conductor is a limited version. Well, we’re pleased to say you can now get access to the broader, fully rounded Lumar platform. You will notice a brand new interface, along with many exciting new features.
Analyze Improvements
In your existing Conductor package, you’ve been using Lumar’s Analyze in a legacy experience and UI, and with crawling limitations. Below are some of the enhancements to the product you know.
- Improved UI and performance: A fresher, more modern interface and a faster and more responsive experience.
- Greater crawling flexibility and scale: Get the insights you need, when you need them, with the flexibility to crawl when and how you want.
- Customizable report views: Get reports of what matters most to you. You can now customize your view of reports by adding, removing, reordering, and resizing columns. Any changes you make are also reflected in data exports, so you can tailor the information you download.
- Enhanced task management: Gain better visibility into your current tasks. We’ve moved tasks into the main project navigation and now provide a view of tasks created from a specific report. You can now also get greater insights from the tasks dashboard with new trend lines.
If you’re not ready to try the new experience just yet, you can also toggle back to your old experience whenever you wish by clicking the ‘try new experience’ switcher in the top right of the screen. When you’re ready to take a look at the new experience again, just toggle back.
