Happy May Solver users! Our update this month has some great new features for QuickStart and Publisher as well as some important fixes to make sure you don’t run into any issues with your favorite planning and reporting tools. We have also introduced a new maintenance screen to inform users that the portal is being worked on.

We would also like to share that the number of items stored in the event logs across the Data Warehouse will be lessened to events from the previous 30 days. If you have any concerns or need to view older event information, please contact support.

We hope that you are enjoying Solver and encourage you to reach out to our support staff and let us know! You can reach Support at support.solverglobal.com with any comments, questions, or concerns.

Bug Fixes

Planning

• Fixes an issue where Input Flow users were unable to properly cancel or delete a flow.
• Fixes an issue that users were experiencing when setting up Input Flows with over 25 values selected. 25 is the maximum amount of values available for Input Flows.
• Fixes an issue in Publisher where the dropdown menu when selecting the publish days was difficult to use due to spacing on the page.

Reporting

• Fixes an issue where certain codes within reports that included Sheet Per Value were generating out of order.
• Fixes an issue when using Sheet Per Value with RowTrees would cause repeat data instead of the results of the rest of the filters.
• Added the ability to use spaces in between values when setting up filters in Report Designer.

Data Warehouse

• Fixes an issue where error messages in the Event Log were not presented clearly on smaller browser windows.
• Fixes an issue with the Dimension Members where if users were moving columns to another position more than once, filtering for any values would not return results.

• Fixes an issue with the Dimension Overview screen where time and date data was not displaying in the correct format once users had sorted or filtered the table. The data would originally be shown in the user’s correct time and date formatting but once the table had been filtered, it would change to UTC formatting.
• Fixes an issue where if users accessed a drop-down filter menu on another page in the Data Warehouse, then went to access the filters on the Monthly Rates page, the filter options in that drop-down menu would be the same.
• Improved translation on the Jobs menu.

Administration

• Fixes an issue that was causing the License status banner to stay red instead of only being red within 14 days of the expiration date of the user’s license.
• Updated Danish translation on AAD login screen.
• Improved translations across the application.
