New this month
There is a required Report Designer update There is a new Report Designer Excel plugin version available. Creating, editing, or executing reports in Excel will require this new version. |
| We have recently updated our technology that creates the active calculations in the portal. However, this may have some impact on some advanced Excel formulas. We ask that you review forms/reports that have this. If forms/reports are not working, then there are quick options we can help you with. |
Budget Flow (Beta) automating the storage of templates is now possible with Budget Flow. This new feature will likely see a name change before the beta is removed. How can Budget Flow help your organization?
Examples:
Building a flow to automatically or manually trigger storage across multiple templates and/or across multiple parameters will streamline the planning process.
• Create a flow to automatically store payroll planning data when the FP&A manager updates a rate on an assumptions template.
• Create a flow so that when template A is updated, the flow automatically runs and stores templates B, C, and D.
• Parameters will flow through the templates so that if user A runs a template for Dept. 100, the related templates also run for that department.
Recycle bin added to Report Templates and Input Templates. Users can now remove templates and restore them if the template was inadvertently deleted.
Report/Planning template generation now uses native charting. This update improves performance rendering and provides live updates of the charts within the portal once a template is executed.
Dimension members screen now utilizes a virtual scroll experience. If the dimension member list exceeds 50,000 records, a virtual scroll will be enabled automatically. This has been tested with customers who have up to two million dimension members. However, there is no limitation to the number of members within any dimension. This new feature has been implemented on the Dimension member and Trees screens.
