Month: January 2019

NEW

• We’ve added new views to the Model Execution and Model Results modules that allow users to view projections in a variety of different ways, as well as filter by model tags. Here is an example of one of the new views (collapsible grouped sections by status):

• Variable Tags can now be selected on templates and projections in order to filter projection output. Use this option to filter out variables to speed up model runs and/or focus on variables of interest.

• New & existing company variables, new data tables, new mortality tables, new variable rates, and all model point file definition changes can now be merged between models in the Change Management module.

IMPROVEMENTS

• To improve overall run stability and performance, users will now be prompted to turn off model point output when starting a projection with multiple scenarios. If model point output is left on, SLOPE will attempt to run the scenarios in the most optimal way for stability and performance.
• File references in the Execute and Analyze modules now properly store references to old file versions, should they be needed for download.

FIXES

• Fixed an issue in the reporting module when creating new dashboards that sometimes required a page refresh in order to populate the Projection ID filter properly.
• Fixed an error that sometimes occurred when trying to delete a portfolio.
• Excluding certain entities from a model copy no longer causes issues downstream.

Our first release of the new year is packed with new features. Product output groupings, asset scaling, model organization, and more!

NEW

• We’ve introduced the concept of Output Groupings for products, which allows users to group aggregated product results by other variables in order to see various model point subsets aggregated. Output Groupings are configured at the product level in model development and then can be selected on templates and projections. These groupings are then available in the reporting module, even if model point output is disabled.

• Assets can now be scaled on a portfolio at the end of the initial time period by specifying a scaling variable that returns a scaling ratio. This selection is available when configuring the portfolio on a template or projection.

• Tags can now be applied to models (on model details) for organizational purposes and the model list can be filtered using these tags.

• Users with a Concurrent User License can now see current active users and select a user to replace when they log in.

• Newly added input tables and portfolios can now be merged between models in the Change Management area.

IMPROVEMENTS

• The model run logs now show which products are being processed dynamically during the beginning of dynamic processing.
• Mortality tables and assumption sets are now sorted alphabetically across the site.

FIXES

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the variable list to shift when hovering over an aggregate variable.

OPERATIONS

• Several backend architectural changes have been made to improve performance around model point calculation results in the reporting module.
• We’ve upgraded several servers for better security and performance.
