Features

Additional Methods for String Lists in Expressions

New expression methods are available to evaluate and manipulate lists of string values.

Copy Viewpoint Extracts

Viewpoint extracts for a dimension can be copied to create a new extract using the same settings as the original extract.

Enhanced Template Import Results

The results of a template import process have been enhanced to identify the objects imported from the template, indicate which were successful, and determine any warnings/errors that occurred during import.

Exclude Implicit Shares for Node Locations in Expressions

The Locations and BoundLocattions collections for the Node object provides an optional argument to exclude implicitly shared nodes from the returned list of node instances.

Expressions Using Inherited and Derived Properties for Node Data Type Properties

Inherited and derived properties are now accessible for associated nodes specified in Node data type properties using an expression.

Get Parents for Node Locations in Expressions

The Locations collection for the Node object in an expression includes parent information for each location of a node in a hierarchy node set.

IsEmpty Method for String, List, and Memo Data Types in Expressions

An IsEmpty method is available for String, List, and Memo data types in an expression to determine whether a value is null or a defined blank value. This single method can perform both checks rather than needing to do separate checks for null and blank values.

Locations for Node Data Type Properties in Expressions

Locations are available for Node data type properties in an expression to access relationship level information for an associated node in a different hierarchy node set.

Previous and Next Sibling for Node Object in Expressions

The Node object in an expression offers additional methods to provide access to previous and next sibling information for a node in a hierarchy viewpoint. The PreviousSibing method returns the sibling node before the current node under a given parent. The NextSibling method returns the sibling node after the current node under the same parent.

Resize Table Columns on List Pages

Columns can be manually resized in tables displayed on listing pages in the Enterprise Data Management user interface.

Reverse Method for Node Collections in Expressions

A Reverse method is available for node collections in expressions to reverse the order of nodes returned from those collections.

Save and Load Expressions Using Files

An expression can be saved to a file and loaded from a file in the expression builder.

Shared Member Before Base Member Validation for EPM Cloud Applications

A Shared Member Before Base Member validation is available for Planning, Planning Modules, and Financial Consolidation and Close application dimensions to ensure that nodes which are marked as shared members are located after base members in a hierarchy viewpoint.

Template Import Preview

A template file can be previewed prior to import into a target Enterprise Data Management environment.

Update Existing Applications During Template Import

Existing applications and their related artifacts can be updated during a template import process.

Work with Hierarchies from Same Viewpoint on Separate Tabs

You can work with multiple hierarchies from the same viewpoint on separate tabs in a view.
