November 2018 – Release History

There is a new “Duplicate & Run” option when duplicating a projection, which will immediately validate and run the newly created projection upon duplication.

Projection periods of zero months are now allowed, for point in time projections when future projections are not necessary.
We’ve added more error handling in the calculation engine that will allow users to more easily troubleshoot problems, especially around the reporting of any file parsing errors that occur.
Data table indexes are now validated to be a unique set per row, to prevent errors downstream in the calculation engine.
When restarting a scenario, a loading overlay now appears over the page to indicate the action is being performed. This prevents restarting of the scenario multiple times by accident.
Significant performance improvements have been made around saving and validating larger data tables.
Performance improvements have been made in the calculation engine around asset investments.
Projection Templates and Cash Management Strategies must now have unique names on each model, for reporting purposes.

The allocation column for investment and new business is now used for distribution AND also for scaling the model points, to make the intended behavior more intuitive.
Fixed an issue preventing the creation of snapshots in certain situations.

New formulas for Natural Log and Natural Exponent functions are available in the formula builder. They can be found under a new “Math Functions” icon. We’ve also moved the aggregate function here.
Data tables and input tables can now be copied from their details screens.

We’ve added alphabetical sorting to various product, model point field, and file name dropdowns and screens across the site to make it easier to locate them.
The “Force Static Processing” setting on projections is now viewable on the results page as well.
Performance of the model point details reports has been improved.
Assumption sets and scenario tables must now have unique names for reporting purposes.

Fixed an intermittent issue with input table references in the formula builder not properly persisting after clicking outside or saving.
Fixed an issue causing Mortality Table descriptions to be uneditable on non Select & Ultimate mortality tables .
Pasting more rows than a table allows no longer causes the table to disappear/close. Extra rows will be truncated.
Scenario and projection run times are now reported correctly after restarting a scenario.
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused a scenario to need to be restarted when a large amount of scenarios were queued (100+).
Fixed an issue when restarting multiple scenarios at once, which sometimes caused scenarios to intermittently fail during startup.

We’ve made some low level changes to the reporting database to allow for faster inserts of model point results, particularly when multiple scenarios are being run.
