Fresh from Pigment! Read our latest Product updates and share your feedback!
From today, Pigment’s product documentation is getting a fresh look in a new dedicated site! The user experience has been updated with a modern design and a streamlined interface to help you find what you need, faster. Apologies in advance while the site is under maintenance.
Now you can transform values in radians into sine and cosine equivalents using simple syntax. Whether you're modeling demand or cyclical interest rates, or calculating the haversine distance between coordinates, with the new SIN and COS functions you can add oscillations into your planning. The new functions are part of Pigment's suite of math utilities, which includes LN, LOG and EXP.
Learn more about the SIN function and COS function.
We’re introducing PREVIOUSOF, a more powerful replacement for PREVIOUSBASE. PREVIOUSOF enables iterative calculations across different Blocks, allowing Metrics to reference one another step-by-step along an iteration Dimension (such as Month). It lets you unlock models that require circular referencing, like supply chain calculations or cash flow forecasting. This feature will roll out in phases—we will contact Administrators for your org.

You can now replace a Dimension with one of its Properties in grids and charts by directly selecting a grid header or a chart series. This makes it effortless to shift between details and deeper Views, helping you focus on the insights that matter most. For example, switch from Month to Year to see the bigger picture, or from Region to Country to zoom into finer detail.
This enhancement works with Dimensions and their Properties of type Dimension, as well as with mapped Dimensions and their source Dimensions.
It's easier than ever for Members to initialize a new campaign, country or version—right from a Board! Now Clone data in Metrics allows parameters, and can be added to Board Action widgets. This means Members can pick source and target data from pre-populated dropdowns, making routine cloning easy for all users. You can even have dropdowns for filters and conditions. Learn more.
Now you can hide unneeded Blocks and zoom in on what matters in your dependency diagram. Just select from the new Upstream or Downstream buttons to manage your view. You can also Focus on a path between Blocks, to show a subset of your dependencies. Learn more
You can now schedule Data Flows in Pigment to run automatically at defined intervals, ensuring your Applications remain accurate and up to date without the need for manual execution.
With scheduling for both data imports and Data Flows, you can automate end-to-end data refreshes across your models—reducing manual effort, minimizing the risk of outdated data, and freeing up more time for analysis and decision-making.
Schedule Snapshots up to three days in advance, right from your Application, to capture data exactly when you need it. This makes it easier to prepare for reporting deadlines, coordinate across Applications, and ensure consistency.
Design workflows for approval, submission, or deletion with Boolean buttons! Display Boolean Metrics as large, clearly labeled buttons—making them easier to read, faster to select, and harder to miss. Choose between checkboxes or buttons for each Metric, and customize labels and colors to match your process or brand for smoother approval and submission steps.
Syntax guidance now appears while writing formulas! As you type, a help card guides you on a function’s required arguments.
Plus, writing List Properties in formulas is more efficient than ever. Autocomplete now suggests List Properties of Dimension-type List Properties in formulas! Learn more.
