We hope everyone is having a fantastic start to 2020 (and that your end-of-year work is going smoothly!). If one of your new year’s resolutions is to save some time, then we have some updates that just might help!
Check out these features and fixes we’ve rolled out to the SLOPE platform in January! We hope you enjoy them, stay tuned for more soon.
NEW
- Introducing the Option Price Formula! This formula allows users to perform option pricing using the Black-Scholes model and is available under the Utility Functions menu within the Formula Builder.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Compute Environments have been simplified to a dropdown representing the number of CPU cores for each scenario. This should make things easier to understand and directly correlates with how run times are tracked in “core-hours”.
- When duplicating a projection, the default option is now to delete the old results, helping keep the Execution and Results areas of the application clean of old, unneeded results. This option can simply be unchecked to allow retention of the old results.
- Performance has been improved when selecting worksheets within larger excel files.
- Empty strings are now considered valid when importing a model point file.
- An informational icon now explains the purpose of the ‘Number of Points’ input on the Rolling Value calculation.
- Snapshots, Model Copies, and Imports now show the Created By user as the user who performed the action, instead of the original creator of the model.
FIXES
- We fixed some quirks in the interface that sometimes made things hard to click or resulted in an unintuitive state.
- Fixed a navigation bug in Internet Explorer
OPERATIONS
- We’ve made large architectural changes to the underlying data storage components in the reporting module, allowing for better performance, scalability, stability, and security.
