Revamped “Select a Period” Feature
We're thrilled to announce some exciting updates. Our team has been working hard, creating new features and improvements to enhance your experience. Are you ready to explore? Let's dive in!
First off, we've spruced up the "Select a Period" feature. Now, choosing a date is as easy as pie with our new calendar selection. You can simply click on the dates in the calendar, making it more intuitive and quicker.
The Magical “Fix End Date” Feature
Ever wish you could lock in an end date and work backward? Well, now you can with our new “Fix End Date” feature.
How is it applied?
Imagine it’s May 17, 2024 and you want to set the end date to May 14, 2024. Choose a quick selection of “7 days”, and viola:
- Without Fixed End Date: The end date moves to May 16, 2024, with the start date on May 10, 2024.
- With Fixed End Date: The end date stays firm at May 14, 2024, and the start date shifts to May 8, 2024.
New Quick Selection Options
We’ve also given the quick date range selection options a makeover. Now you’ve got more choices to play with, and the text is more precise than ever. More options, more fun!
Cost Group Page - Supercharged
Your overview chart has been enhanced! It now displays the variance from the previous period alongside the total amount. For instance, if you are reviewing data from May 1 to May 17, 2024 (17 days), it will be compared with the previous period of April 14 to April 30, 2024 (17 days). This improvement allows for easier comparison and analysis.
See the Change at a Glance
We have made updates to streamline your cost analysis. These updates focus on enhancing the Cost Summary Page. Let's take a look at the key improvements.
We've added a useful feature to our data table that displays the percentage change compared to the previous period. This allows you to easily identify cost trends without any hassle. What's more, the previous period matches the current one in length. So, if you're viewing May 1 to May 17, 2024 (17 days), it will be compared with April 4, 2024 to April 30, 2024, which is the previous period.
Hover for Details
Need more precision? Hover over the "Cost" and "Percentage Change" values to see detailed figures up to eight decimal points. It's like having a magnifying glass for your data!
Download your Data
We've incorporated a data download feature, allowing you to easily save your table data as a CSV file for seamless report generation and analysis in other applications. No more manual copying and pasting - simply click and download.
Quick Access from Dashboard
Accessing cost group pages is now quicker. Jump straight to a cost group page directly from the dashboard widget to save time and clicks.
New Grouping Types
We didn't stop there! These updates focus on even more usability improvements for the Cost Group Summary Page and a few exciting new features.
We've introduced three new grouping types for your cost data: region, billing account, and vendor. This means more flexibility and better analysis. For example, if you select "Billing account," all sub-account costs will be combined with the linked paying account. Pretty neat, right?
