In explorations, you can align text in data cells and headers either vertically or horizontally. You can align a row or column of data cells, align a member in row and column headers, and align based on hierarchy.

Right-click a data cell and select Cells alignment to see text alignment options.

You can also align text in the new single cell visualization vertically or horizontally. Simply, right-click the visualization to see alignment options.

You can clear text alignment in an exploration or single cell visualization by right clicking the cell and selecting the alignment option under Clear.

When you add a plan or application to a snapshot, all books and views within the plan or application are also included in the snapshot. However, as Lifecycle Management does not support websheet migration, any websheets present in a plan or application are not included in the snapshot.

If a step in a plan includes a contributor or approver group that is not available on the target database, the group is removed from the step when the snapshot is deployed. You must manually update the step to use a valid group on the target database.

Use rich text formatting in plan and application descriptions

You can now apply rich text formatting to enhance your plan and application descriptions.

The new text formatting toolbar on the plan or application description box lets you quickly apply text formatting, create numbered and bulleted lists, and create links.

Task flow user interface in plans

You can now manage the plan tasks using the task flow diagram.

Drag tasks that depend on each other onto the Task flow canvas to create a visual representation of the task dependencies.

Updated 'Import members' procedure

As part of our continued investment in the IBM Carbon Design methodology and in the interest of providing a consistent user experience across all components, the Import members procedure for a dimension has been updated to use Carbon Design principles. 

The new procedure uses more intuitive controls to define a data source and set mappings. 

Additionally, you can import members into a dimension from multiple locations on the Databases tree. Depending on the launch point, your ability to create or modify metadata might be limited.

If you click Dimensions, Import members on the Databases tree, there are no limitations on metadata updates. You can:

• update an existing dimension and an existing hierarchy
• update an existing dimension and create a new hierarchy
• create a new dimension and a new hierarchy

If you click <dimension name>, Import members on the Databases tree, updates apply to the dimension you clicked, but you can pick the hierarchy to update or choose to create a new hierarchy.

If you click <hierarchy name>, Import members on the Databases tree, updates apply only to the hierarchy you clicked.

Snippets in the process editor

The process editor in Planning Analytics Workspace provides predefined code snippets that users can insert in the TurboIntegrator process.

The TurboIntegrator process code can be repetitive. Users often repeat the same tasks, changing only the variable or object names. The code snippets simplify the repetitive tasks, making the process less error-prone.

To use the snippets, on the Script tab in the process editor, click the snippet icon in the toolbar, as highlighted in the following image:

The following categories of snippets are available: Iterators, Create, and Other. Expand the category to view the list of snippets, and select one of them. 

Here's an example of one of the available iterator snippets:

The Variable and Value columns are editable. The vDimension is the list of dimensions in the database. vHierarchy is the list of hierarchies within the selected dimension. vSubset is a text entry.

As you specify values, the Preview is updated with your input. When you click Insert, the snippet is dropped in the line under the current position of the cursor.
