While there are several improvements discussed in this month’s release notes, we want to take one last opportunity to call your attention to the authentication upgrade on May 31, 2022 which will prompt you to reset your password when you attempt to login. Please continue reading for more release updates.
NEW
Updated Authentication and Single Sign On Support
Slope’s new authentication enables us to continue to further protect our application while offering more login options and controls to our clients. One of the immediate benefits of this update is that Slope now supports authentication via Single Sign On. Single Sign On prevents users from having to keep track of another password and gives IT teams greater control over platform access and security.
As a result of this update, the first time you attempt to log into the Slope application on or after May 31, 2022, you will be required to reset your password. If desired, you may set your new password to match your existing password.
International and Custom Date Format Options on Model Point File Uploads
Slope now supports the ingestion of Model Point data with international and custom formatted dates so that clients using these formats don’t need to re-format their Model Point files. You will now see a Date Format drop down on the Product Configuration modal on projections and projection templates. The current default is set to “MM/DD/YYYY, M/D/YY or M/D/YYYY” which was previously the required format for file uploads.
Note: This enhancement will not change the format in which dates are displayed in the application including in the analyze module (currently MM/DD/YYYY). We will continue to work to accept and display international dates in other areas of the platform and will have future updates shortly.
IMPROVEMENTS
Decrement Table Update and Improved Projection Performance
We have improved the decrement table editor and storage so that they are more performant when saving changes and running projections. All existing decrement tables have been updated.
CHANGES
Formula Editor Text Updates
The text for “None” on the Array Aggregation method in the formula editor has been updated to provide clarification that it is the same as selecting “Current Array Value”
References to legacy “input table” wording have been updated in the formula editor.
FIXES
- Improvement Scales will no longer overlap the model list drop down when clicking on the model name in the top left corner of the Improvement Scale Details page.
- Added Array Value to the join criteria for the Model Point Comparison Explore to prevent duplication of result values.
- The investment strategy will once again be included in the copied projection template when a model copy is made.
- Users will receive an error message that a file is required when they attempt to import a file without selecting a file first.
