Tidyup of Import History Table

Next time you view your Import History, you'll notice some minor improvements to how the table is presented.

We have removed some extra columns that were no longer needed and changed the 'error' icon to make it unique.

This should give you a bit more space in the table to view the really important bits.

We've given your Support Centre a makeover!

It's still full of handy how-to guides and troubleshooting information, for you to have information at your fingertips anytime you need it, as well as being able to submit and keep track of all your support requests.

Visit support.pivotsoftware.com to find out more, and for system administrators you can also access this directly in your Rem or Performance systems by using the 'Support' button in the top right of your screen.

Your username is your email address, and click ‘Forgot My Password’ to be sent a welcome link if you've not visited before. Once you've logged in, check out the 'Getting started' section for more information.

Please note: the information contained within the Support Centre is considered Proprietary and should be treated with confidence.

Impersonate Button now on the Left

Based on client feedback, the impersonate button on the right meant scrolling and additional mouse movement to access it, so we have moved the impersonate button to the left of any grid that it is in. 


Subtotals for 'In My Currency' Fields

To help with your analysis on the Rem and Bonus steps, we are now enabling any 'In My Currency' fields to show totals in the grid.

Previously, if you had multiple currencies on a grid, all totals were turned off as multi-currency totals would not make any sense.  As your ‘In My Currency' fields convert all values to a single currency, we are now enabling those fields to show totals.


SSO Able to Use SHA-256

We have implemented SHA-256 as an alternative to SHA-1 in SSO configurations this month.  This is an improved and updated version of digital signature for security.

Approve Team & Data Check Screen Upgrades

Approving Team & Data Check change requests now got even easier. We have upgrades these screens with a new look and feel and have improved the workflow along the way.

Improvements include:

  • Ability to approve all requests within a single screen. No need to drill down into each Manager to approve the change requests.
  • Approve & Decline buttons are inline within each row
  • Grid filters allow you to find specific groups if you have a large number of requests
  • For those with 'Combined Team & Data check', you will find all your requests in one table to approve or decline.

System Timeout Limit Is Now Configurable

The system timeout previously was hard-coded to be 20 minutes; this is now a configurable setting and the System Administrator can set this in the Security Settings step.  The setting you choose will apply across your whole site.


Updates to Manager Screen Extract Files

We have made some minor format changes to the manager screen extract files:

  • Spend % will now show in a separate cell to spend $
  • Spend $ will be formatted the same as budget and amount remaining – for consistency
  • Amber lights will show the business rule that is broken


Copy Live to Test Upgrades

In the Copy Live to Test step the compulsory requirement to reset the passwords in the test site has been removed. The only compulsory field in this process now is the email address reset.

We do encourage you to not change passwords in this process as it can mean you have a version of your data with weak passwords that are consistent to every user.


Currency/Exchange Rate Upgrades

The look and feel of the Currency/Exchange Rate step has been updated, along with calculations to reduce the amount of data entry needed.

Now you only need to enter each exchange rate conversion to your default (i.e. the first column); the system then uses this data to calculate the remaining cells. For example, if you tell the system GBP to AUD and NZD to AUD, the system can work out GBP to NZD.

This will reduce the amount of data entry and any mismatch of rates.
