Fresh from Pigment! Read our latest Product updates and share your feedback!
Now you can set filters on a Snapshot before taking it, for leaner, faster Snapshots! Pick a Dimension, choose the Items to keep and use less of your storage allocation. Filters work whether you take Snapshots immediately or schedule them. For a quick win, try filtering on Version.
Now you can add CSV Import actions to a Data Flow and load one file into Metrics and/or Lists in a single run. You can combine them with Block-to-Block and other actions, such as importing a raw list and deriving a filtered planning list right away. Admins can also add instructions so Members know exactly which CSV to upload. Try it on your next Data Flow!
View Templates now support decimal settings! This quality-of-life improvement reduces the need for manual changes to number formats. For example, have one template with no decimals for your revenue Views, while another template with two decimals handles your percentage Views. No more reformatting Metric by Metric. Try it on your next View.
Now you can mix sequential and parallel execution in a single Data Flow with the new Hybrid mode. Steps run in order and each step can hold several Data Actions that start together, so you no longer need to split your logic across multiple Data Flows. Only the steps that must be ordered run in sequence, which can cut total run time significantly. Try it on your next Data Flow.
Now you can add tooltips to Metric and Property headers so Members get helpful context when they hover over them. For example, explain what a Metric measures or how it’s calculated, with text in English and, optionally, French so Members see their own language. You can also hide the tooltip in specific Views where it's not wanted. Give your Members the context they need, right where they need it.
You can now let Agents search and read all Pigment Files without having to send them individually. This means that company-wide wikis, rules, key data, style guides and policies can be available at a stroke. Have an Agent summarize a policy PDF or pull figures from a contract while you build or review your model. Ask your Security Admin to activate it now in security settings.
Now you can view diffs that include security changes in Test and Deploy, even without security permissions. This means you can see what’s blocking your deployment and follow up with someone who has the right permissions.
Now you can deselect the default Scenario in a Snapshot, reducing its consumption of your cell-based quota. Before, it always had to be included, but now you can deselect it whenever access rights don’t depend on its data. Try it the next time you configure a Snapshot.
Create hierarchies to allow parent- and child-level Items in the same selection. Pick all of EMEA except Germany, and just Paris from France. All in one pass. Try it out and boost selection efficiency.
Correction: an earlier version of this post said you could chat with Pigment Agents in Slack. The Slack connector actually works the other way around: it lets Pigment Agents access Slack from within Pigment. Add the connector today and give your Agents access to the Slack context your team already works in.
