Release 2018.18

NEW

  • Introducing the Variable Relationship View!  This new view (available at all calculation levels in the variable details) allows users to see variable dependencies and data flow in a user-friendly diagram with full drag & drop and zooming capabilities.
  • There is now an icon that appears at the top of each model showing the current validation error count if the model contains errors.  This icon can then be clicked to take the user to the model validation summary page.
  • Users can now replace a data table or mortality table using a file import via a new icon/button on the table details screens.
  • A model point file template can now be downloaded from the Model Point File Definition screen within each product.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Several improvements have been made to the table editor, including auto scrolling when using keyboard navigation and improvements to single-cell copy/paste functionality, allowing users to copy a cell into multiple selected cells in one action.
  • Projections now only require data tables be set for those input tables that are referenced from the projection’s calculations.  This can greatly reduce the number of data tables that need to be set for smaller projections.
  • Missing data tables and model point files on projections and templates are now indicated with an icon to allow users to more quickly identify missing tables/files.
  • Projection validation now only checks the pieces of the model that it uses, so pointing to an invalid model is OK as long as the invalid pieces are not used in the projection.  This also improves performance of projection validation.
  • Innermost error variable is now displayed in the error message on the Error Summary report in the Model Results area of the site.
  • When users no longer have an active session, we’ve improved the experience when attempting to perform certain actions on the site, redirecting them to the Login page appropriately.
  • Assumption sets are now included on projection templates during model export, import, and copy.
  • Input Tables, Data Tables, and Mortality Tables must now have unique names, for reporting purposes.
  • Memory efficiency and performance has been improved in the calculation engine.
  • Minor validation performance improvements for all concurrent background validation.
  • Projection deletion performance has been improved.

FIXES

  • Fixed validation of the Data Type field when creating an Input Table column.
  • Fixed extra whitespace issue appearing in IE Edge in various dropdowns on the site.
  • Fixed a bug causing the start time of a projection to be incorrect when running multiple scenarios in parallel.  This did not affect runtime usage costs, but caused the total run time to be incorrect on the projection.
