This month, we are excited to bring several enhancements including our updated dashboard user interface as well as improvement scale enhancements and API changes. Please note the “Coming Soon” section announcing an authentication upgrade in May which will require you to reset your password.
NEW
Improved Dashboard Interface
Dashboards found in the Analyze module have an updated interface and several usability enhancements.
- You will now see a single set of filters located and edited within the Dashboard.
- You will now be notified if you attempt to navigate away from a Dashboard or Tile while making edits.
- You can now add notes to a Dashboard for documentation and display the notes above visualization, below visualization or on icon hover.
- You can now use cross-filtering on a dashboard to click a data point in one dashboard tile and filter the other dashboard tiles on that value.
- You will now see a scrollbar for both the left-hand dashboard list and dashboard itself so that each can be scrolled independently.
IMPROVEMENTS
Improvement Scales
The following capabilities have been added for Improvement Scales:
- The Improvement Scale column with Improvement Scale ID can now be exported and imported into the Data Table editor.
- Data Tables with a nested Decrement Table column will now validate that Improvement Scales are not saved without a Decrement Table.
- Table Structures with nested Decrement Table and Improvement Scale columns can now be merged in Change Management.
- Users can now switch between Improvement Scales and Decrement Tables using the drop down list in the top left corner of the Improvement Scale editor.
New Projection Field on Explores in Dashboards
In addition to the upgraded interface, you will now find a new “Projection” field available in all Explores for easier projection filtering. The new projection field contains both the Projection Name and ID.
CHANGES
API Updates
The API will now provide an informational message on the Patch Projection endpoint when the Model Point File is missing. The API will also support the creation of a projection from a template that has Model Point Filters.
COMING SOON
Authentication Upgrade
In an effort to continue to provide first rate security and offer enhanced security features such as Single Sign On, Slope will be updating our application’s authentication. As a result, when you attempt to log into the Slope application, you will be required to reset your password (as shown below). If desired, you may set your new password to match your existing password.
We are currently targeting a go live date of May 31, 2022 (updated) and will send a reminder email several days in advance of the change.
FIXES
- The Economic Scenario Generator will now pull the correct US Treasury rates when the “Fetch Rates” button is clicked.
- The Data Table destination drop down in the Confirm Merge Operation Modal will automatically map Data Tables when one of the options in the drop down is a copy of the same table or uses the same name.
- Stability improvements have been made to prevent projection status failures when calculating goal seeks or running a large number of scenarios.
- Projections can no longer be modified while running.
- Dashboards will consistently save after the dashboard edit screen has been loaded for an extended period of time.
- Projection comparison will load successfully when either Projection contains a deleted product definition.
- The debug view will now consistently load the correct formula when clicking through a single value array.
- Resolved an issue with the Copy Dashboard functionality in the Analyze module.
