This quarter’s update is all about precision, visibility, and control. The team might not be able to reorganize the universe (some of them disagree), but we asked them to start with the application. They focused on the details that keep your workflows steady and predictable. You’ll find smarter ways to organize and highlight what matters most, whether that’s surfacing key schedules, navigating with ease, filtering with surgical accuracy, or freezing the world just the way you want it (well, at least the columns). To keep everything in sync you can now define your very own timezone (daylight savings optional). If you’re into clarity, order, defining mathematical sequences, and a touch of scheduling swagger, you’re in the right place. Let’s get into it.
New Inventory Histogram Gadget
A new Inventory Histogram dashboard gadget has landed, bringing sharper visibility and smarter scaling to your inventory data. With a dynamic X-axis scale, you can zoom in or out to match your analysis needs. The gadget also offers cumulative percentage views, making it easy to assess inventory concentration across ranges. And thanks to scale break support, you can skip over empty or low-activity zones to zero in on what matters most. It pairs beautifully with the Multi-Field Multi-Value Filtering gadget, giving you layered control and synchronized clarity. That’s visibility, flexibility, and insight all in one sleek visual.
Limit Periods
If you’re a limitless maximalist who believes more is always more, or a singular minimalist scaling things down to their atomic core, the new Limit Periods feature is for you. It gives you precise control over how many time periods are displayed in key workbenches like Supply Demand, Demand Node Summary, and Demand Stats, across both graphs and tables. Whether you’re narrowing focus for short-term analysis or decluttering a long-range view, these settings help tailor the timeline to your needs, ensuring a consistent, streamlined experience wherever you work with time-based data. Your preferences can be ad hoc and brief or saved until you have a change of heart. Either way, updates are just a click away. Try it on for size and see how it looks…
New multi-field multi-value Filtering Gadget
Introducing the new Multi-Field Multi-Value Filtering Dashboard Gadget, a versatile powerhouse for precision control across your dashboard workspace. This dynamic tool lets you quickly layer filters across multiple fields and values, giving you granular command over the data you see. But it doesn’t stop there: when activated, it cascades those filters across other connected dashboard gadgets, enabling synchronized views and smarter, faster decision-making. Because let’s face it, a productive filter isn’t just a “post-ready” photo touch-up to boost brightness, add vibrancy, or deliver a trendy result. It’s a strategic lens for clarity in the chaos.
Technical Improvements
Planning compute engine performance tune-up
As part of the migration and realignment to the 5000 series, the team kicked off a performance review and seasonal cleanup initiative to streamline the planning code by removing outdated logic and obsolete references. The result? A cleaner, faster, and more maintainable foundation. This behind-the-scenes upgrade boosts performance, trims technical debt, and sets the stage for smoother enhancements ahead. It’s leaner, smarter planning, but without the “checked-in” luggage.
Integration
This release brings a series of technical improvements focused on strengthening and streamlining integration workflows across the platform
- A new mechanism in the tenant app now allows users to test and enable integration connections directly, making setup and validation faster and more reliable.
- Expanded support for inbound and outbound data transfer mechanisms, enabling smoother exchanges between external client systems and iPlanner whether you’re pulling data in or pushing it out.
- Improvement to the NetSuiteRest API integration process allowing inbound data to be retrieved more effectively and seamlessly incorporated into planning workflows.
- Introduced a more flexible way to define connection endpoints for both inbound and outbound integrations, giving users greater control and clarity when configuring data pipelines.
Together, these enhancements lay the groundwork for more scalable, secure, and user-friendly integration experiences. Sure, technical improvements might not get end-users jumping out of their chairs, but for the integration team, this was another win. And let’s be honest: winning feels good.
Support integration with Google Drive
The new Google Drive integration feature introduces a seamless way to connect your Google Drive account directly within the platform. This two-way integration allows you to fetch data from and send data to your Drive with ease, streamlining workflows, reducing manual steps, and keeping your files in sync. Whether you’re pulling in source data or exporting results, it’s now just a few clicks away.
