December 2022: Variable Properties on the Debug tab, API and Workbook Enhancements.

Enhancements

Debug Tab : Variable Properties, Last Updated Date & Sharing

Users can now view a variable’s properties and settings on the Debug tab for faster trouble shooting. The settings on the debug view are view only with a link to navigate to the variable and edit as needed.

Click the ‘Variable Properties & Documentation’ panel below the variable name drop down to expand.

On the right hand side of the variable properties and settings panel, Slope will display a last updated date. If the variable has been updated since the projection was run, a warning icon will display. When a variable has been updated after a projection was run, the values displayed are from the projection results but the properties and formula reflect the current state of the model. This warning should alert users to potential discrepancies.

The Debug tab also has a new ‘Share’ button in the top right corner so that you can share a url with the selected projection and other filter values currently set. This is helpful when sharing results with a colleague or Slope’s support team.

API Enhancements:

The Workbook ID and Element ID needed to download projection results via the API has been added to the url when you click the desired workbook table within the Slope application. For more information on downloading results via the Slope API visit our Support site.

Workbook Enhancements:

Two new functions are now available for use in workbooks: FirstNonNull and LastNonNull. FirstNonNull repeats the first non-null value of a given column for every row in a column. LastNonNull repeats the last non-null value of a given column for every row in a column.

Conditional formatting column selection now allows the user to select multiple columns without the drop down menu closing with each selection to allow for more efficient configuration.

Fixes

  • Resolved an error that occurs when an out of date data table version is merged into another model.
  • Data tables for deleted table structures will no longer show up in the copy confirmation modal.
  • Improved error messaging to provide informative descriptions in place of more generic errors when a product is missing on a projection and when a template name is a duplicate.
  • Library models will consistently load when selected in the Model Development module.
  • Resolved an intermittent file upload issue with large model point files.
