  • Proportional spreading faster (October 2019).

  • Included ability to create Worksets for budget, forecast and what-if scenario analysis

  • Multiple spreading methods to enter or derive budget, forecast and what-if scenario data

  • Enable security around Workset creation and ERP updating

  • Enable write back into backend ERP for GL Budget, IC Projected Sales and IM Infoset updating

  • Show fact labels as blue vs dimension labels as grey for easier identification

  • Split the ribbon into 5 tabs : Home, Display, Dashboard, Chart and Workset to group functionality more logically

  • Ability to Sum / average / count a matrix of data

  • Ability to define scale factors per fact (as opposed to the entire view)

  • Enable additional “right hand mouse button” short cuts appropriate to the area when clicked

 

  • Replaced menus and toolbars with a ribbon.

  • You can now reorder items (cubes, views, charts and dashboards) in the tree by selecting, holding down the mouse button and dragging to the new required position.

  • Added an option to disable automatic refresh when dragging dimensions from/to title position, row position and column position. When disabled a new option to “calculate” will be displayed in the View ribbon, and data is only recalculated when “calculate” is clicked

  • Styles are now applied based on unscaled values. Previously they were based on scaled values so if you had a style for > 100 and changed the scale to 1x100, then 1 (being 100 scaled) would not have had the style applied to it.

  • The sort order was not being re-applied when you reloaded/refreshed a cube.

  • If you are displaying multiple cubes, the last date/time the cube was refreshed was not shown. Now the date/time the “active” cube was last refreshed is shown. 

  • Requires .NET 4.5 (or above) and Windows 7 (or above).
