The Report Viewer feature will let you, as the admin, preview Presenter Adaptive reports as any one of your payees. We've added a dropdown for you to select the report, and the specific payee, now you can see exactly what they see.

Running multiple Composer components

We wanted to make it easier for you to work with components in Composer. With this update you can drag your cursor over multiple components to select them simultaneously. You can also use ctrl+click to multiselect components that may not be right next to each other.

Once you've got your selection, you can run all the calculations at once and include dependencies.

File management

We want to help you be more efficient when managing your files in Workflows. You can now select multiple files to move, delete, or edit simultaneously. You can also drag and drop the files to make reorganizing your folders quick and easy!

TSAPI enhancement

Our TSAPI allows for the insertion and manipulation of EffectiveDate tables. All payees have the ability to edit EffectiveDate tables using the TSAPI, without the need to do so through web forms.

You can use POST/PATCH via TSAPI to do the following:

POST

  • Add new rows with or without effective end date

  • Add rows with effective start date ahead of the existing rows

  • Overwrite existing rows

PATCH

  • Update effective end dateUpdate non-key columns

Symon view table

We've made an upgrade to improve your Symon experience. View tables can now be selected as a source for Symon imports. You can map a view table to a Symon data tool.

Presenter Adaptive enhancements

In this release, we've made some improvements to boost your report-building experience. You can now:

  • Use values as titles for column headers. This is a useful tool for localization, where you can now personalize and display text using a specific language.

  • Have pick list search always be present and not only when there are more than 50 options.

  • Access the Used By function by clicking on the more options menu (...) of a stored value in the values panel.

  • Customize the order in which the data in a column is displayed in tables for an Admin or Payee. You can set the default order and sort one or more columns in an ascending or descending order.

Add calculated columns to tables

This release brings you the ability to add calculated columns to tables in your Presenter Adaptive report. This enhancement enables you to utilize built-in formulas, operators, and fields to add one or more calculated columns. You can further customize your experience by adjusting the style and formatting of the columns.

We made it easier for you to do things.

Activity Module visual update

We've made a few updates to the look of the the Activity module for you!

  • The Processing window, calendar, and filter are all on the left hand side now.

  • We've updated the time range of the calendar, it will now default to showing the most recent year.

  • The activities status and different types of activities are now one Filter button on the calendar, and there's a counter to show how many filters you've selected.

  • When you have a date or filter selected, you'll now see a Clear All button.

  • There's now a popup window that will open when you delete a log or stop a processing activity, so you don't accidentally delete anything important!

Workflows tile view

We've tweaked the way you can work with your folders in Workflows. To make things more efficient you can now toggle to view your folders and sub folders in a tile or list view. You can easily drag and drop to nest folders, and quickly search through folders or their contents with names containing your search term.

Check out the new Forms icon!

In this release, we've updated the Forms module icon in the Varicent ICM sidebar to request-quote.svg.
