Design and usability improvements
Several design and user interface enhancements are included in the Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.63 release, signifying our continued investment in usability. Here are a few of the areas we have improved in Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.63.
Collapsible navigation panel
The navigation panel is now available from the Home menu.

You no longer need to return to the Workspace home page to navigate or access Workspace content. For example, if you’re working on the Administration page, you can navigate directly to a book by opening the navigation panel, opening the Shared folder, and searching for the book.
Database Tree hidden when not in edit mode
The database tree is hidden when a book is not in edit mode. To reveal the database tree, the book must be set to edit mode.

This change provides more horizontal space for users consuming the book. This change also makes it clear that you must enable edit mode to incorporate content from the database tree into the book.
Note that the Edit pencil icon has been replaced with a labeled Edit switch. This change makes it easier to discern when a book is in edit mode.
Left-aligned switcher
The content switcher is now left-aligned for a consistent look and feel with Cognos Analytics. The content switcher no longer includes a Home option. To return to the home page, click IBM Planning Analytics.

Combined toolbar
Book and widget toolbars are now integrated into a single toolbar. This change improves the vertical space available to book creators and consumers. Buttons for each widget are displayed alongside the book buttons after selecting the widget.

Tab controls
Clicking on a tab while in edit mode now presents a menu of available actions.

Save and Move dialogs
The Save and Move dialogs have been updated to support searching, sorting, creating folders, and replacing books. You can search for folders, books, and views in either the shared or personal folder.
