Another year over, and what a year it was. We hope that despite the challenges this year has presented, that each of you has something to celebrate as the year comes to a close. We stayed busy this year, and here is another round of updates to make everyone’s SLOPE experience even better. Here’s to more great things coming in 2021!
NEW
Model Compare & Merge Overhaul
The model compare and merge screens have been combined into a single feature and the interface has been completely overhauled to allow for easier navigation of changes.
Investment/Sales Auto Allocation
A new option is available on asset (investment) and liability (sales) allocations to allow an automatic distribution based on allocation field across all products in the allocation, bypassing the need to manually set percentages on each product. This is the default option for new allocations.
Investment/Sales Allocation Versioning
Asset and liability allocations are now automatically versioned and can be viewed from the ‘Inputs Used’ section of the projection after it has been run.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Table structure columns now have a “Description” field for additional documentation.
- Array variables now show the array name on the relationship view as well as on hover of the variable name in the formula builder.
- Further explanation of functionality appears when the Dynamic array option is selected during array create/edit.
- Performance improvements have been made around copying, merging, and validating data tables.
- The product output grouping dropdown on projections now has autocomplete functionality.
- Only configured tables appear on completed projections in the Execute module, preventing blank table selections that were not actually used during the run from appearing.
- Whitespace is now trimmed from variable names, preventing accidental spaces in names which can cause confusion in the reporting module.
- Models are now sorted alphabetically on the ‘Create Projection’ dialog.
FIXES
- Nested table cells with no table to select are now properly handled, and a message is displayed that no tables are available.
- Merging a new array now also merges the array values.
- Fixed an issue causing some projections to get stuck in ‘Writing Final Results’ status after failing.
- Fixed ‘Add New’ row button sometimes disappearing in the data table editor.
