10.1.1.181 - Week of May 12, 2025

We are excited to introduce the new Model time zone feature in Varicent Incentives. This feature allows administrators to set a uniform time zone for all users within a specific model, ensuring consistency in how dates and times appear across different Varicent Incentives modules.

The Model time zone feature is designed to bring clarity and consistency. With a single time zone setting for your entire model, regardless of individual user locations, everyone will view dates and times the same way. For example, if your team members are in New York, London, and Tokyo, they will all view time stamps based on the single time zone you choose. This feature helps everyone stay in sync by eliminating time zone confusion, making teamwork easier.

This feature also automatically accommodates Daylight Saving Time changes. For example, if you select a time zone that observes daylight saving time, the system will adjust by an hour forward in spring and revert back in fall without requiring manual intervention. This means you spend less time worrying about daylight saving time adjustments and more time focusing on your key tasks.

We’ve made it easier for you to manage your admin users by introducing a new tab within the Admin users page in Tenant settings that specifically houses all Disconnected admins. A disconnected admin is a user who exists in the model database but not in the tenant database.

Previously, these users appeared in the all users list but were not counted towards your admin usage. Now, you can view all disconnected users in one place and take appropriate actions. If you wish to reactivate them, use the link provided on the page to contact support. Alternatively, you can delete these users if they should be removed from the model database entirely.

This change addresses the confusion between disconnected and unassigned admins, especially in scenarios like transitioning from on-premise to cloud, where some admins might not have been recognized in the tenant database. This update helps you easily spot and manage these users without mixing them up with active users.

In this release, we're thrilled to introduce Global Parameters for Presenter Adaptive reports. This feature enables you to retain pick list and date picker selections as you navigate to other web tabs and reports in Sales Portal. Previously, this retention was only possible when linking directly from one report to another. Now, you can effortlessly keep track of selections such as currency, time periods, or specific payees as you move between reports. Let’s say you're viewing Emily Snow’s Compensation Summary and now you want to dig a little deeper and view her transaction details. When you open the Transaction Details report, Emily is still your selected payee.

Workflows are exempt from Global Parameters. Instead, they will continue to use the parameter values specified within the report. This exemption ensures that as reports move through approval steps, they maintain a consistent display for the same set of parameter values.

You can now have greater control over the margins, padding, and alignment across objects on your report. In addition to the Classic and Modern report style, you can now select the Custom option and choose between a compact, default, or spacious layout to adjust the spacing between and around the objects on your report. To learn more about the Custom report style, see: Creating a custom report style.

We've also updated the options for the image object with the ability to customize how they are scaled when resized on the canvas. To learn more about adding an image to your report, read: Adding an image object to a Presenter Adaptive report.

We've added a new feature to configure the save button on your report to link to a website, email, or report. This feature is available for the save button on tables and row input forms, and on the single save button for your report. When the Redirect on submission toggle is enabled, your report contents will be saved and it will link to a website, email, or report all in one step, saving you from having to load the report twice. For more information on the Redirect on submission toggle, read: Configuring the save button on your report.

We're excited to announce the release of the Scheduler time zone feature in Varicent Incentives. This new addition gives you the flexibility to configure your schedules based on the specific time zones in which they need to operate. By doing so, you can manage your scheduled tasks across different time zones effectively, ensuring accuracy and consistency, especially during daylight saving transitions.

Now, you have the option to assign varying time zones to different schedules as needed. By default, the Scheduler module uses the current browser time zone of the user, but you can easily configure it to run tasks according to a specific timezone, different from your browser or model time zone. This customization is beneficial for those operating in multiple regions or coordinating tasks across diverse locations.

With the Scheduler time zone feature, daylight saving adjustments are seamlessly integrated, ensuring that tasks continue to run smoothly without unexpected shifts. The system automatically adjusts the clock forward or backward according to the daylight saving schedule observed in the selected time zone, preventing any potential conflicts or scheduling mishaps.

We’ve simplified admin user management with a new, intuitive interface. Everything you need to add or edit an admin is conveniently located in a side panel, eliminating the need for a central wizard and streamlining your workflow.

Our redesigned interface distinguishes between adding users to the tenant and assigning them to a model. For example, when you want to add a new admin, the panel provides distinct sections for entering tenant information and assigning the user to specific models.

Editing admin users is just as straightforward. The panel allows you to differentiate between updating tenant details and modifying model-specific roles easily. For instance, the process is clear and intuitive if you need to change an admin’s email or adjust their role within a model.

We’ve also enhanced the clarity of permissions required for various actions. The tenant permissions section links to our support documentation website, where each permission is clearly described. This resource helps you understand what each permission does, allowing you to make informed decisions when selecting the appropriate permissions for your admin users.

We're excited to introduce enhancements that give you more control over your reporting experience! Now, you can reorder columns and set dynamic row grouping in your report tables. With the Allow table customization toggle enabled, you can click move up or move down to reorder columns, and choose how you want to group your rows. When a row group is added to the report, columns that have values in the row will display an aggregated value for the row group. Plus, these settings will carry over when exporting to PDF and Excel. For more information on report tables, see: Adding a table object to a Presenter Adaptive report.

We've updated the list object to bring more flexibility, where you can now aggregate the source data by selecting a numeric value. The source data will be aggregated using the main and description columns. Once the values are aggregated, the columns can be sorted in an ascending or descending order, and you can select the number of items to display.
