📣 – A New UI for Runner

  • In 2 weeks on October 4, 2023, Runner will replace the current user interface in order to retire an obsolete code language. There is no action required from users during the transition.
  • The new interface will closely resemble the old one and also contains a few improvements. The large majority of Runner existing features will be available in the new UI, and we are working to restore the small, missing remainder and polish the interface as capacity allows.

  • A hypercare conference bridge will be distributed before the cutover date for any escalations to support your operations. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Runner_Help@spe.sony.co
