Show reason for POI match
When reporting an event, if an existing person of interest is matched we will show the reason for the match (whether its name, or a different identifying characteristic) to make linking to already known people of interest (POI) more accurate.

Report internal & sensitive events
All event types in Auror have the same level of visibility and access within an organisation (and wider collaborating network) today. In the future, some event types or specific events could be classified as sensitive and have different access restrictions. For example, a report could be created for an internal case where an associate is being investigated for shoplifting, but not appear on the feed, or be accessible to anyone who has not been invited to the case.

Matching and merging duplicate products
Organizations often have thousands of products in their inventory but they tend to experience theft across a small number of products often, with a long tail of less-commonly reported products. We’d like to assist reporters in adding the right products as quickly as possible, so we're experimenting with matching and merging products that are the same but were named slightly differently. This means surfacing more accurate data around the products being targeted most frequently, and makes it easier for the right products to be added to an event report.

Threatening behavior warning
Previously if a person displayed any of the four behaviors considered threatening, i.e. aggressive, physically abusive, weapon involved, intoxicated or under the influence, they’d show a ‘Threatening behavior’ warning on the person’s profile. We’ve heard feedback from retailers that there is value in quickly understanding exactly what behavior the person has displayed so a team can respond appropriately, so we now show each behavior individually.

Compare gender and age when merging profiles
Dot Connectors will now see additional intel on the merge comparison screen so they can compare gender and age when considering whether to merge multiple profiles for the same person.

Evidence locker improvements
Improvements have been made to the way evidence locker works, the improvements include: Only scroll when needed When we added the next and previous button to the evidence locker file modal, we also started ensuring that last file in file modal is visible in evidence locker when the file modal closes. Instead of only scrolling to the file card when needed, we always scrolled creating janky jumpy UX. It is now changed to only scroll when needed so works far more smoothly. Faster file modal transitions (sometimes only visually) Some of the images are loaded quite fast, especially if they’re cached. With transitions, it takes about 600ms to make the transition, but the image is usually loaded faster than that. To make the transition visually faster, and sometimes actually faster when the image is cached, we attempt to load an image for 300ms before making the transition. Once the image is loaded, we immediately swap images. If the image is not loaded within 300ms, we still swap but there’ll be a spinner showing that image loading is in progress. Scroll to the added file We now ensure the newly added file in the Evidence Locker is visible.
