2. Grids Resize Functionality

In this latest update, we can choose to see all the columns of the Data Model within the Table View, at one glace.

Select ‘Settings’ icon and choose ‘Size Columns to fit’. This enables all the columns of the model to be fit in the same page.

In addition to the Table View, Grid Resize Functionality also applies for the Plan Tab and Variance Analysis Tab.

Plan Tab:

Here, choose ‘Size Columns to Fit’. In this model, all the months can be viewed at one glance.

Variance Analysis Tab:

In the ‘Variance Analysis’ tab, choose ‘Size Columns to fit’ for all the data to appear in the same screen.

3. Secondary KPI for table

In this new update, we can have the Secondary KPI displayed as a part of the Table View when the data model is displayed.

In this P&L Model, Common Size analysis can be done by calculating the ‘% of Sales Revenue’ for each node as the Secondary KPI.

Now, select ‘Settings’ in the Table View. A small pop-up screen will appear. Here, you can choose ‘% of Sales Revenue’ and give ‘Apply’.

4. Tool Bar Changes

Planning Toolbar has undergone display changes with the UI considering the user experience in mind. Tools and options are now upgraded and placed at convenient positions for ease of use.

Similarly, in the Variance Analysis Tool Bar, there have been changes made for ease of use.

In addition to that, under Variance Analysis, the Time Period can be customized along with the Data Series based on user’s preference.

Choose ‘Custom’, for the time period. Here, only the chosen Data Series will appear, for which the time period can be chosen as one desires like Jan, Mar, Apr in this case.

5.Other Feature Fixes:

a.If the Data Model has only one period, then the trend column will be hidden in the Pop-Up Screen, when any node is selected.

b.Multiple Simulations can now be viewed in a manner of a column. Select “Show All” in the data model, once the simulations are done.

A panel will appear in the right inclusive of all the scenarios.

c.Once a KPI has been deleted, it will no longer appear in the ‘Navigation Panel’ under ‘Simulation Tab’ and will automatically get removed.
