High Performance Mode Available for Projections with New Business

High Performance Mode (HPM) now supports projections that include New Business so that users can dynamically issue new sales (model points) in their projection when running in HPM. For more information on High Performance Mode and which projections are supported, visit our support article here.

Enhancements

Variable List Now Shows Error Count

Users will now see an error counter at the top of the variable list to indicate the number of variables that have errors on them.

API Update: GET Projection Endpoint Additions

API users will now be able to get the following portfolio and product information from the GET Projections endpoint:

API Update: GET Data Tables/List Endpoint

API users will now be able to get a list of data tables either for a specific table structure or model ID. Learn more on our API documentation page.

Reporting: Repeat Row Labels

Users can now format pivot tables with multiple pivot rows to repeat row labels within their workbook element.

Reporting: Placeholder Text in Control Elements

Users can now customize the placeholder text for any input-based control elements (List Values, Text Input, Number Input, Date, and Date range) to provide context about the expected input.

Merge Differences in Tags on Variables

The model governance module will now show tag differences between two variables (with the same name) and allow the user to merge the tag to the target variable.

Fixes

• Debug view is now updating the formula with a different formula per array value for the second dimension of 2 dimensional arrays.
• Reduced Failed to Start Errors resulting from AWS request denials.
• Improved run log and debug tab loading performance.
• Again showing ‘Out of Memory’ message when a projection runs out of memory while finishing the inserting of results.
• Model point filters will apply the correct filter field when duplicating a projection and filtering on a field that is not the first field.
• Variables only referenced by a sales allocation variable will again display in the output.
• Now showing the correct result for projections run in Cores when forward projecting a company array variable with a Single Value (formula) aggregate that relies on a two dimensional aggregate variable.

Updated Experience Study Library 2024.05 and Documentation

We have published a new version of the Experience Study Library Model, named “Experience Study 2024.05”, which includes the following updates and fixes:

Updates

• Can now filter inputs by status codes in addition to Plan and Policy IDs
• Added a full set of generic rate inputs for Claim Incidence in addition to the existing mortality and lapse rate inputs. This can be used for any measurement of claims incidence rate such as disability or other policyholder election rates.

Fixes

• Fixed calculations that sometimes resulted in slightly more/less exposure being attributed to a policy year in leap years for policies issued in the month of February.
• Corrected an issue in the conversion from annual to monthly factors for mortality and lapse rates.

Additional Documentation

Additionally, we have published three new articles for Experience Studies on the Slope support site:

• Overview of the Experience Study Library
• Experience Study Parameter Details
• Guide to Setting Up an Experience Study
