Release Notes

Loved it before? Wait until you see it now.

Font Addition

To help you customize your environment more, we've installed Sora as a custom font on SPM for you.

Viewing Current Values for Spark Calculations

Previously, selecting the View Current Values option for a Spark calculation would show the "Background Live Activities" status prior to beginning the sync itself.

With this enhancement, when selecting the View Current Values option for a Spark calculation with small records (less than 150 MB), the status "Background Live Activities" will no longer be shown. The PPO will directly sync and no View Current Values related keyword logs will appear for live activities, audits, and the calculation engine.

When selecting the View Current Values option for a Spark calculation with large records (more than 150 MB), the behaviour will remain the same as prior to this change.

PPO Calculations

We have implemented a block which prevents users from using names containing periods with trailing white spaces. This will prevent calculation failure due to inconsistencies caused by this kind of naming.
