Planning Space Dataflow

Fixed Defects

Description Support Ticket
Resolved a UI performance issue when viewing documents with long duration (up to 50 years): the cursor movement between data fields was becoming slow to frozen, especially when regime calculations were required. The UI data caching mechanism has been improved to ensure better performance.
23-00901589
Reporting: Fixed a permissions bug where users were not able to access tags in the settings Revision selector because the 'apply tag' role was being incorrectly enforced.
23-00901389
PlanningSpace Data Connector: Fixed a bug that was causing Update configurations not to be correctly saved in Excel workbooks.

Planning Space Economics and Financials

New Features and Fixed Defects apply to both applications, unless otherwise noted.

New Features

  • Result Set calculations: New option to disable folder incrementals for the entire Result Set (Standard or Sensitivity), replacing the need to do manual settings for individual hierarchy nodes.
  • Regime spreadsheet models: The 'ProjectIndex' cell in OUT rows can now contain a calculated value based on inputs and internal calculations, rather than a static value. This improvement makes it possible to have simpler models with fewer placeholder sections.

For more information about these changes, see the Planning Space User Manual .

Fixed Defects

Description Support Ticket
Hierarchy clone operation: Fixed an issue that was causing a timeout error for large (over 50,000 projects) hierarchies.
