Release 2019.19

Introducing… nested data tables! Now, you can create tables that reference other tables (similar to how nested mortality tables work). This allows for drastically simplified management of certain information.

NEW

Nested Data Tables

  • First, a new column type of “Data Table” is available when configuring table structure columns.
  • These columns can then be configured to point to individual data tables within the assumption management module using the table editor.
  • Now, a new type of variable (product, portfolio, and company) return type is available. Specify a variable with a return type of “Data Table” to make use of a nested table structure. Within this variable, you can return the column value you created in the previous step.
  • The last step is to specify the data table variable within a table reference inside the formula builder (the default option will still use the projection table mapping). This allows the calculation engine to determine the data table at run time using the configured nested data tables.

Reporting Module

  • The default table visualization has been updated. The original table visualization is still available as “Table (Legacy)”. This feature will be available as of Nov 21st.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Security is of utmost importance here at Slope. As such, we’ve rolled out several back-end changes this release for even further increased security.
  • Display precision on variables at all levels is now only shown if the variable is of type ‘Decimal’.
  • Models are now sorted by name in the Compare Models and Merge Models interfaces.
