Releases: checkmarble/marble
v0.35.0 : data viewer and fixes
This release contains a new feature that was at the top requests of our users : the data viewer
- Check if an object has been ingested by typing its ID in the viewer. You'll get the detail of the object as well as the latest ingestion date
- Navigate your data within the case manager : each link within your decision object gives you a view of the underlying data. You can now easily check the customer profile from a transaction for eg.
The release also include multiple bugfix, including :
- Fixed an error generated when checking the result page of a test run
- Removed a cookie linked problem that was preventing the API key generation in the setting menu
- other minor display fixes
Breadcrumbs, bugfixes and performance optimizations
Content
This week's release focuses mostly on bug fixes and some quality of life improvements, while we work on the next big feature in the background.
- Breadcrumbs for navigation: as the app is getting more complex, navigation was becoming more painful. This should help users navigate different parts of the app, and the pattern will be used everywhere.
- Performance optimizations for the rule evaluation: branches of a rule that have no impact on the final output of a rule (for example because another branch of the "AND" condition is known to return "false") will no longer be executed. This will allow us to bypass some aggregates calculation, for a better overall performance of the decision creation API.
Bug fixes
- the pagination function for cases was no longer working
- the LICENCE_KEY environment variable was required for starting the frontend container, even though it was no longer used by it
- user creation was broken since the last release for open-source users of Marble
- user role changes were more restricted than they should be
Breadcrumbs for navigation
Filter in the case manager, and new operators
This release contains two new features :
Filters and search in the case manager
- you can now sort an inbox by case creation date (up and down)
- a search field has been added to each inbox. You can type any part of a case name to filter the list of the inbox with this value. We added a fuzzy matching to maximise the results.
New operators in agregates
The following operators can now be used within agregates : Is / Is not Null, Start with, End with.
So, for eg you can now make the sum of the transactions where the status is not NULL and the beneficiary account number starts with "GB"
A fix for a requested licence key in OSS version has been posted too.
v0.32 Product discovery & in-depth nesting
v0.32.0 drasticaly improves the way your building complex rules : you are no longer limited to one level of nesting.
Rule builder
You can now create subcalculations without limitations within each rule condition, by adding brackets to each part of the condition and allowing.
The new system is VERY flexible. You can now add multiple subcalculation to each part of a condition, using the new "modeling" menu of the toolbox.
It's now very easy to create rule such as (SUM of past transaction in last 5h ) + current transaction amount > (3x the sum of transaction amount of last month) + 5000
Discoverability & OSS
You can now see all product functionalities, even when your licence does not cover it. You can contact us in a few clicks if you want to upgrade!
Scenario homepage
Minor redesign for better accessibility
0.31.0 - Case name templates
Case name templating
In this first real product release of 2025, we are bringing proper case name templating into Marble.
When using automated workflows for decision to case, you can now template the case name using attributes from the payload or ingested data, in the same way as it's done in the rule builder. Previously, the case name would be composed of the payload object type and the object_id
.
For now, this should make case viewing in the case manager inbox much easier, and with this being done, case search by name should be coming very soon.
You can access the case name templating by clicking the case name box in the scenario workflow setup page.
New year's bugfixes
This week's near year release is small, and only contains bug fixes. Stay tuned for more product-based work next week !
Bugfixes
- Fix a display error on the "is round number" operator modale, in french and arabic
- Fix a bug where the csv file name was incorrectly encoded for the "download list values as csv" feature
- Fix an error on the
POST /decisions/all
public API endpoint, that would return an error if any scenario matching the received object has no live version - Upgrade a dependency with a reported vulnerability
New operators, lists loaded by CSV and lots of fix
One last one for the road !
As the end of the year is near, here's our 30th release for 2024, packed with usefulness
New operators
- Start with / end with : makes it easy to check the beginning or the end of a string against another value or list. Very useful for getting the country out of the IBAN, the phone operator suffix or the email domain name
- Is multiple of : you can now check with ease if a number is round, and set the thresholds.
Load lists by CSV
No more need to enter values manually to update lists : you can now upload CSV up to 9999 values for your lists. And if you need to update those, you can download them
Case manager
We're still chasing the clicks on the road to efficiency in the case manager
- If a case holds a single decision, it's now displayed by default
Test run
You can now stop an existing test run at any time.
Fixes :
- Unclickable part in the decision viewer
- Access to analytics for all roles
- Adding a description on an object of the data model works again

v0.29.1
What's Changed
Full Changelog: v0.29.0...v0.29.1
Test run, new date operator and case manager efficiency
Right in time for the holidays, it's one of our largest release yet!
Test run
Modifying a scenario or a rule safely is challenging : you'll want to check the impact on detection volumes and efficiency before pushing to production.
With our test run feature, you can know modify an existing scenario, and run the new version in parallel during a set period.
Marble provides you in realtime the difference between both version, both in scenario outcome and rule by rule.
You are now able to check for abnormalities, wrong checks and volume mismatch before releasing a new version of a scenario in production. And you can keep the test run synthesis as an audit proof for the rationale behind every modification.
The test run allows you to compare a scenario version to a live one and define a maximum duration for the run.
Available for SaaS or under self-hosted licencing
Case manager efficiency
With our latest phase of case manager redesign, we're now reducing context switching with :
- Alert prioritization : a default activated toggle displays only the rules generating a hit for the case in each decisions
- Direct to decision display : the decision tab is now set as the default display when opening a case
- Foldable case history : the case timeline is accessible through a button on the right side of the screen and can be folded to save space for investigations
- Trigger object display : the trigger object is now easily accessible at the right of each linked decision
- Pivot accessibility : the pivot value has been moved to the top of each decision trigger object, making it easy to reach and copy in your own back-office.
Those improvements should significantly reduce the number of clicks needed to overview a case and start the investigation.
We've also added the possibility to upload several files at once to a case.
Hour / Day / Month / Year operator
The builder now allows you to get an extract of a timestamp to use within rules. Based on a timestamp, you can extract the hour, the day of the week (1 = monday), the day of the month, the month of the year or the year.
It's now really easy to check if an operation happened in the middle of the night, or to integrate specific checks during weekends.
You'll need to set the timezone of your instance in the new setting / scenario tab.
Self-hosting
API timeout delays can now be configured
⚠️ API breaking change
We unfortunately had to make a breaking change to the decisions listing API. The GET /decisions
endpoint no longer returns the count nested object, the start_index and the end_index of the returned items. Instead, the endpoint now returns a has_next_page
boolean field that lets you know if a next pagination page is available. See our documentation page for the up-to-date details.
We absolutely hate to make breaking changes to our public API, but this was one case where the implementation proved fundamentally not scalable, on a feature that we expect was not widely used by API, and where we preferred to make the breaking change now rather than later.
Bugfixes and others
- data model tables, fields, links can now only be created in lower case alphanumeric and "_", and must start with a letter. Backward compatibility is maintained for older fields and tables, but this will avoid errors in the future
- The timeout durations for the API endpoints can now be configured, for self-hosted users of Marble. See the .env.example file for examples (use the
BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECOND
environment variable) - Fix a bug where a "required" field in a table could not be added once there were objects ingested into the table. "Requiredness" is now enforced at ingestion time, not in the table itself.
We're not done for this year, stay tuned !
Scenario home page, null value handling in rules, UI revamp finished
Features
This week
- we added a brand new home page for every scenario. This is now the entry point to find everything related to the scenario's set up: scheduled and manual batch executions, workflows, versions... with links to the relevant documentation. In the long term, this will also make it easier for us to add more features and configuration at the scenario level.
- we added translation support for the arabic language. The app will also automatically adapt its layout (right to left) when used with the arabic locale. As before, the locale can be selected at the top-left (well, top-right in arabic) corner, next to the logout button, by clicking on the "Marble" logo. Please note that some of the translations have been added automatically by Copilot translation, so feel free to point out any corrections to us (for instance by proposing a pull request). Many thanks to @Morghim for the contribution.
- we now allow to gracefully handle NULL values (and empty string) during the rule execution, by using the "is empty"/"is not empty" operators ! See the screenshots below, documentation will be added shortly for this feature here
Improvements
We also finished a UI revamp that had been in the works for a few weeks. The case manager and scenario page now have a refreshed look, to make some features more easily discoverable (e.g. rule snoozing from the case manager), and also to make place on the screen for future features we want to add.
Bugfixes
- Batch executions of a scenario now properly make all decisions with the scenario version defined on the batch, instead of using the currently live version
- Better line breaking on long rule names
- PG_PASSWORD etc environment variables are no longer required if PG_CONNECTION_STRING is passed
- thresholds for decisions are now capped at -10000 / + 10000, and the limit is enforced in the builder
