Version: v5.2.20903.1420

 

Workflow/Assignments enhancements and fixes

For this release, we have focused on improving the Workflow and Assignments functionality. Above all, many of the improvements focus on functionality for collaboration across teams during the budgeting process.

To make it easier for users to know when there is a new assignment for them, they will now get a notification, either in Notifications or by email, with a direct link to their assignment. In addition, users can now see assignments that have a start date in the future in Assignments.

You can now keep everyone in a budgeting workflow in the loop by allowing reviewers and approvers to comment on all published workflows, at any time during the budgeting process. All comments will be visible in the Activity log. In addition, everyone with access to the workflow can see the Workflow status.

Furthermore, users can now see their completed assignments as these are now saved under a Completed section in the Assignments module. We have also made it easier to find budgets, by adding a Search box for both workflows and assignments.

Also new is the possibility to edit a budget template that is part of a workflow. Users can edit most aspects of the budget apart from changing the report parameters.

 

Everyone with access to a workflow can now see Workflow status

In the past, only the creator of the workflow could see the Workflow status. Now, all users who have access to the Workflow module and is a part of the workflow can see the workflow status overview.

To access the workflow status overview;

1. In the Workflow module, click the workflow.
2. Click the Status button.

 

Direct access to assignments from Workflow status

Users can now access their assignments directly from the Workflow status view.

 

User assignments: Better visualization in the workflow matrix

When users are editing the User assignments, we have added a highlighting color so they can better see which templates and/or users are affected by the editing.

 

Select templates: Changed dialog box

The dialog box for selecting templates in the workflow has been slightly changed to provide more functionality. For example, users can now see how many templates they have selected.

 

Select companies: Companies in the workflow are now sorted with the Let user decide option at the top

Now, when you create a new workflow, and click the Select companies button, you will get the Let user decide option at the top of the list of companies.

 

Assignments: Show name of assignees on assignment cards

You can now see the user name of the assignee on the assignment cards.

 

 

Workflow notifications

Users will now get a notification, in the Notifications menu or by email, when there is an assignment for them, or any other activity in their assignments, such as comments. To access the assignment, the user can click on the notification or the Open link in the email, and they will be taken directly to the assignment.

The assignment notifications also apply to single assignments coming directly from the Budgeting module.

 

Let users see workflows and assignments that have a start date in the future

Assignments that have a start date in the future will now be visible for the user in the Assignment module, under Workflows. The user will not be able to start on the assignment until the specified start date and the Assignment card will be gray until the start date is reached.

 

Assignments and workflows available for users after completion

A user’s completed assignments are now saved under a Completed section. The same applies for completed workflows; when an entire workflow is completed, it will be stored under a Completed work section. The completed workflows are sorted based on completed dates. Workflows in progress are sorted based on the date of the last activity on the workflow.

NOTE: The Completed section is collapsed by default. Click the arrow to expand the section.

 

Added Collapse/Expand buttons to sections in Assignments

To make it easier for users to get an overview of their assignments, we have added Collapse and Expand buttons for assignments.

The last selection the user makes, expanded or collapsed, remains the next time the user opens the assignment.

 

Added Search box in the Assignments module

We have added a Search box for both workflows and assignments in the Assignments module.

 

Edit Workflow: Change date interval

It is now possible for the workflow creator to edit the date interval for a published workflow. The user can edit the date interval for the whole workflow, or for the various assignments in the assignments table.

NOTE: You cannot make any other edits to the workflow.

 

Edit budget templates in published workflows

It is now possible to edit a budget template in a published workflow.

When you edit a budget template that is part of a workflow, you will receive the following message:

“This budget template is used in assignments or workflows. If you choose to edit this budget template, these assignments or workflows will be updated.
Please be aware that any changes you make may affect the budgeting process.
NOTE: Make sure you do not change any report parameters as this will prevent you from publishing your changes.”

 

 

To edit the budget template, click Edit anyway.

You can edit most aspects of the budget templates apart from report parameters. If you attempt to edit the report parameters, you will not be able to publish and must undo the edit.

To undo the edit;

1. In Budgeting, click in the top right corner to show details of the budget template.
2. Click Undo edit.

 

 

After you have edited a budget template that is part of a workflow, the assignees must rerun any templates they have run before.

If they have the budget template open, they will receive a message from the system that the template is updated. If they run the template, they will lose any changes they have done since they last saved.

 

Possibility to generate multiple assignments with ‘Let user decide’ parameters

If a user’s assignment contains a Let user decide parameter, the user can now generate assignments several times. In the past, the Assignment card would disappear after generating an assignment, but now the card will remain in the Create assignments section allowing users to create different budgets for different parameters from the same assignment.

For example, if a user wants to create budgets for different projects, such as, Project A, Project B, etc., the user can create multiple assignments. The workflow’s Create assignments card will be available throughout the budgeting process, so the user can go back to create assignments for other parameters, as many as desired.

NOTE: If there is a time limit set on the workflow, the assignment card will be closed after the end date.

 

Improved Workflow review

When a workflow is published, all participants in the workflow, including reviewers and approvers, can now see the assignments before they are submitted. In this way, reviewers and approvers can add and read comments to the budget before the budget user has submitted the assignments and sent for review/approval. This makes the Assignments module a more complete tool for the budgeting process.

In the example in the figure below, James is the reviewer in the workflow. As you can see, all of his assignments cards are gray, because the budget users have not started or finished their budgeting. He can, however, open all budgets in the assignments to read and write comments in the Activity log pane.

 

Workflow status issue solved

Some users have experienced problems with workflow statuses when going from reviewer to approver. The issue is now solved.

 

Budgeting

 

Current period function when assigning budget template

The period function, {PeriodCalc.CurrentPeriod}, is now a valid parameter value when assigning a budget.

 

Translations

 

Change language of Help pages

We have now made it possible to change the language of the Help pages by selecting from the language buttons at the top of the Help pages.

The Help pages are available in Swedish, Norwegian, English, and Danish. Please note that we are currently working on updating the help for Swedish, Norwegian and Danish to reflect the latest releases of OneStop Reporting. The English help pages will always contain the most recent updates.

 

OneStop Reporting now available in French

French is now available as a language in the OneStop Reporting Portal, as well as in Report Designer.

To change the language of the portal;

1. Click Settings > User settings.
2. On the My profile tab, click the Language drop-down menu to select language.

 

Administration

 

User permissions: Can manage connections

We have made the following change for user permissions:

Can manage connections has been moved out of Permissions. This means that if a user should be able to set up connections to retrieve data from the ERP system, this permission must be set separately.

 

User permissions: Added Download to Excel as a permission

We have added a new permission in the user settings to allow administrators to control whether a user should be allowed to download a report in Archive as an Excel file or not. If a user does not have this permission, the report can only be downloaded as a pdf.

This can be useful if there are parts of a report, such as hidden data, that you do not want other users to see.

 

 

• If users have the switch turned on in their Permissions, they are allowed to download reports as Excel files in Archive.
• If users have the switch turned off in their Permissions, they are only allowed to download reports as pdf files in Archive.

 

 

 

Get Data

 

Option to lock connections

We have now made it possible for users to make a connection private in Get Data > Create new connection/Edit connection. This can be very useful for users that have multiple companies in a connection and want to prevent users with the Can manage connections permission (see above) from editing the connection. Even if a connection is locked, the users with the Can manage connections permission will still see the connection, but it will be locked for editing.

NOTE: Administrators at the top level can still manage all connections, even locked connections made by other users.

 

When you first set up a connection, or if you click Edit on an existing connection, you will now see a Allow other users to edit this connection switch. The switch is off by default.

• If you turn off the switch, only you can edit a connection, such as adding other companies etc. All users with the Can manage connections permission will see the connection, but the connection will be shown with a Lock icon next to it. 

 

• If you turn on the switch, all users with the Can manage connections permission are able to edit the connection.

IMPORTANT: If a connection is not private, users with the Can manage connections permission can see all companies in the connections, even companies they do not have data access to.

NOTE: All existing connections will be locked to the user who created the connection initially.

 

Changes to Connections display in Get Data

As mentioned above, the new lock connections option also affects how connections are displayed in the Get Data > Connections list.

In the past, the Connections list was filtered, for example, according to which companies users had data access to. Now, we have changed this, and users with the Can manage connections permission will see all connections that exist in a tenant, even connections they cannot edit (that are locked ). If a connection has the Allow other users to edit this connection switch turned on, users that are allowed to manage connections will also see companies they do not have data access to.

NOTE: Now that users with the Can manage connections permission can see all connections, they can also see all Connection names. Users creating connections should therefore be careful when they select connection names.

 

 

Report Designer

 

No longer support for Office versions lower than 2013

We no longer support Microsoft Office versions lower than 2013.

 

Changes to the Sheet per value functionality

There is a change in how the Sheet per value functionality works.

Now, in order for this to work, you must have the value, for example, Region, on the Sheet filter.

 

To create Sheet per value;

1. On the OneStop Reporting tab, in the View group, click the Report Parameters button.
2. Click Edit parameter (on, for example, Region).

4. In the Report Parameter Wizard, click Next, and then Next again.

5. Under Options, select the Create sheet per value checkbox.

6. Click Finish.

 

Protect non-input cells

This checkbox is selected by default to protect non-input cells in budget templates. This means, when the checkbox is selected end users cannot input numbers to any cells in the Budgeting module, apart from those that contain storage rules (budgeting amounts with storage rules defined). However, you now have the option of deselecting this checkbox. When this is deselected, end users can input numbers into any cell in the budget template, also those that do not contain any storage rules. Please note that this option will apply to the whole budget and make any cell an editable cell.

To access the Protect non-input cells checkbox;

• On the OneStop Reporting tab, in the Configuration group, click Report Properties, and go to the Budgeting tab.

 

Help available

You can now access the help for Report Designer directly from a Help button on the OneStop Reporting ribbon.

 

Changes to Conditional storage Settings on the Budgeting tab

Store even unchanged cells option has changed name to Store unchanged cells. The logic remains the same: This option will force data from this cell to always be stored. The application will not do a check whether the input cell has changed its value or not.

Ignore cell value 0 option has changed name to Delete transactions if cell value is 0, and will now have the following logic:

• If the option is checked and the cell value is 0 (either entered or calculated), the underlying record will be deleted.
• If the option is un-checked and the cell value is 0 (either entered or calculated), the number 0 will be stored in the underlying record.
• If the user clears the cell by pressing delete or backspace (or by formula), the underlying record will always be deleted regardless of whether the option is checked or not.

Suppress delete option has changed name to Delete transactions for empty cells. The logic remains the same: If this option is selected, the value is used to update existing/insert a record in the storage dimension. This will also apply to transactions where there has been a value that has now been set to 0.

 

 

 

Fixes

 

Report Designer: Having non-OSR workbook and OSR Report Designer open at the same time

In the past, some users have experienced problems when they have a non-OSR Excel workbook and Report Designer open at the same time. The issue is now solved.

 

Report Designer: Switching company

We have fixed an issue where users have experienced being asked to log in again when switching company in Report Designer. Users should not have to log in again after switching company.

 

Report Designer: Users are asked to download even when they already have it installed

We have fixed an error where users who already had Report Designer installed were asked to download Report Designer each time they opened a report from the portal.

 

Report Designer: Year to Date function

Some customers have experienced that reports with the Year to Date function in a row or column would not show any numbers. The issue has been fixed and all reports containing this function should now behave as normal.

 

Administration: Default permission selection for administrator role is now set to all permissions

In the past, users have experienced that administrator users in a role do not have all permissions set by default. This issue has now been fixed.

 

Data Manager: Prompt to confirm action when leaving page without saving

Users will now get a Confirm action dialog box if they leave or refresh the Data Manager without saving their work.

 

 

Data Manager: Possible to use comma as a decimal separator

We have made it possible to use comma as a decimal separator in Data Manager when users have selected a portal language in which comma as a decimal separator is the standard. In the past, Data Manager would disregard commas as a decimal separator and, for example, change 0,1 to 1 when numbers were saved.

 

Archive: Fix for toggle vertical/horizontal when opening multiple reports

Some users have experienced that the Vertical/Horizontal toggle button has disappeared when they open multiple reports in Archive. The issue has now been fixed.

 

 

Budgeting: No refresh of the budget template when storing budget numbers fails

In the past, if OneStop Reporting detected an error in the budget, such as a wrong character, and the user clicked Store, the budget would automatically refresh and, consequently, remove added budget numbers.

We have now fixed this issue, and the screen will not refresh. The user will now get the error message, but the added numbers will not disappear.

 

Budgeting: Lookup gives error when opened in a draft budget

Some users have experienced an error when a budget template is in Draft mode as they run the report and try to use the Lookup for the parameter. This issue has now been fixed.

 

Budgeting: Copying and pasting values with decimals

Some customers have experienced that when they try to copy and paste numbers with decimals, the numbers are rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. We have now fixed this issue and decimals are kept when users are copying and pasting numbers in their budgets. In addition, users can copy numbers with decimals from Excel to budgets in the portal.

 

Budgeting: Using comma separator when Norwegian is selected in the portal

In some cases, users who have the OneStop Reporting portal language set to Norwegian have experienced issues when storing budget numbers with decimals. The application would remove the decimal numbers. This issue is fixed and decimals are now saved to the budget.

 

Known issues

 

Report Designer: Avoid groups from disappearing from the Layout Editor

Some users have experienced that groups disappear from the Layout Editor when designing reports in Report Designer. To fix this issue it is recommended to turn on the Optimize for compatibility option;

• Go to File > Options > General, and select the Optimize for compatibility checkbox.

Please note that you must restart the application for the change to take effect.

Changes to Administration

We have made some changes to Administration to accommodate larger accounting firms that use Groups to organize their clients.

 

Search for users

We have developed a new Search users functionality, where you can search for users and get information about the user, such as email address, which tenants and/or groups they belong to, and if they have administrator rights.

To search for a user;

1. Click Settings > Administration.
2. Click Search users.
3. In the Search for users dialog, click the Tenants and Groups tabs to see which group and/or tenant the user has access to.

NOTE: If you see a Key icon next to the tenant or group, that means the user has administrator rights in that group or tenant.

 

Changes to the Group level

We have also made some changes to the Group level.

For larger organizations, such as accounting firms, it can be useful to organize the tenants into groups. In this way, it is easier for an administrator to add a user to multiple tenants, and giving them permissions and data accesses.

For the Group level , you now see the tabs shown in the figure:

	Tab	Description
1	Overview	Shows the group name. Click to edit the group name.
2	Group users	Shows users that have access to the group level. You can add or remove group users. These users will have access to all tenants in the group and will automatically get access to manage other subgroups and tenants within the hierarchy.
3	Licensing	Allocate licenses for users at the group level. NOTE: If you do not have a shared license, you will not see this tab.

 

Manage group users

Add group users

A group user is a user who can access all tenants in a group.

1. Click Settings > Administration.
2. At the Group level, click the Group users tab.
3. In the Add group user field, enter the email address and click Add. An invitation e-mail is sent to the new user’s e-mail. The new users will automatically get Tenant Administrator rights.

NOTE: If you want to grant a user Group Administrator rights, turn on the Group Administrator switch. A Group Administrator can manage group users, and create new tenants and subgroups. In addition, they can manage licenses at the group level.

NOTE: If you want to grant a user all permissions for all tenant in the group, turn on the All tenant permission switch. This permission gives the user administrator rights for all tenants in the group. In this way, they can manage licenses, users, and roles at the tenant level.

 

Manage licenses for users at the group level

1. Click the Licensing tab.
2. Use the checkboxes to give module access to group users.

NOTE: Licenses for group users is managed from here and not at the tenant level. At the tenant level, the module accesses will be locked when a user is a group user.

NOTE: You can see how many available licenses you have in the column headers.

To see an example on how you can use the Group level, see Organize tenants in groups: An example.

 

Tenant level permissions and accesses inherited from group level

Because you now can add users to a tenant by adding them at the Group level, there are some changes to the permissions, data and module access settings on the Users tab at the Tenant level.

If a user is a Group User, he or she will have a Lock icon next to their names on the Users tab. If the user is given All tenant permissions at the Group level, or is a Group Administrator, their permissions and data access is inherited from the Group level and cannot be managed from the Tenant level.

Module access is always given at the Group level for Group Users.

 

Organize tenants in groups by drag-and-drop

You can now use drag-and-drop to organize the tenants in your groups in the tree structure. You can, for example, move your tenants from one group to another. In addition, you can have a tenant in multiple groups if you want. When you move or add a tenant to a group, the group users are automatically added to the tenant you add or move.

NOTE: This functionality is only available for users with shared licenses.

 

Move tenant to another group

To move a tenant to another group;

1. Click the tenant and drag it to the group header.
2. Select the Move here option.

The group users in the destination group will automatically be added as tenant users.

NOTE: If you move a tenant from one group to another, the group users from the original group are removed from the tenant.

In the example in the figure, we move the Financely tenant under the Team William group to the Team Noora group. All group users from Team William are removed and the group users in Team Noora will be added.

 

Add tenant to another group

To add a tenant to another group, while keeping the tenant in the original group;

1. Click the tenant and drag it to the group header.
2. Select the Add here option.

You will now have the tenant in both groups.

The group users will automatically be added as tenant users.

In the example in the figure, we add the Financely tenant under the Team William group to the Team Noora group. In this way, we have the Financely tenant under both the Team William group and the Team Noora group. The group users for Team Noora will be added, and the group users for Team William are kept.

 

Add multiple tenants more quickly

We have changed the Add tenants dialog box, so it does not close for each tenant you add. In the past, the dialog box would close when you clicked the Create button. Now, the dialog box stays open so you can add multiple tenants until you click the Close button.

 

Possible to search for users on tenant level

We have added a Search users functionality to the Tenant level in Administration that allows you to only search for users in that particular tenant.

To search for a user;

1. Click Settings > Administration.
2. Click the Users tab.
3. In the Search or add users field, start typing the name.

Marketplace: Possibility to have your own Marketplace

It is now possible to create your own Marketplace for report templates. This is a feature we mainly offer to accounting firms as it requires OneStop Reporting to set up a separate tenant for this purpose. When you have a Marketplace tenant, you can upload templates to this marketplace and share between your tenants. The users in the other tenants will then only see the report templates you have shared when they click Get templates in Live Reporting or Budgeting.  Please contact support@onestopreporting.com if you want to set up a Marketplace tenant.

 

Help improvements

• We have made the context-sensitive help accessible for Internet Explorer users. In the past, the Help pane did not work properly for Internet Explorer users.
• We have improved the Search functionality. In the past, the search results did not display properly when users entered search terms in the Search field. In addition, we have enabled the search functionality for users with Norwegian interface.
• We have also made some improvements to the appearance of the Help when users open the help in the browser.

 

 

Publisher: Publisher jobs will now run at correct time if the server time differs from UTC time

We have fixed an issue where Publisher jobs would run at incorrect times if the server time differed from UTC-time.

 

Administration: Delete companies dialog box

We have changed the dialog box for deleting companies from a tenant in Administration to be more informative. The change has been implemented to make users aware of what happens when they delete a company.

 

Live Reporting: Today’s date the default date in report templates

In Live Reporting, if the parameter is a date picker, today’s date is now automatically set.

 

Get Data: Search for companies when creating a connection

We have added a Search for companies field when users create a new or edit an existing connection in the Get Data module.

 

Improved error messages in Data Connection

We have improved the validation process for data connections. In this way, users will get more detailed error messages with information about the cause of the error.

 

Service automatically to start on server reboot

In the past, customers have experienced that the OSR services do not start automatically after server reboot. This would cause reports not being run until the services were manually started again. We have solved this by setting the services to Automatic (Delayed Start) in the installer.

 

Added Active Directory validation

We have improved the Active Directory validation process.

To add Active Directory users to OneStop Reporting, see Active Directory.

 

Fixes

• Report Designer: We have fixed an issue where some users experienced that Report Designer would crash if they selected a range, changed color for the range, and ran the report.
• Report Designer: Solved translation issue for period functions: We have fixed an issue where some customers with Norwegian user interface would get a mix of English and Norwegian terms in the Period Functions menu.
• Report Designer: Fix for users with proxy servers: In the past, some users have experienced authentication failure when attempting to edit reports in Report Designer from portals sitting behind proxy servers. The issue is now fixed.
• Voucher viewer: We have fixed an issue where the voucher viewer would crash when the user had unsupported files. Now, the voucher viewer will show a message “File format not supported: <format>” or “File conversion failed: <format>” if the voucher viewer is mapped to unsupported file types.

 

Integration-specific fixes

 

Visma Business and Visma Global

• Added period functions: We have added these period functions:
  • Last Quarter Last Year
  • Next Quarter Last Year
  • Quarter to Date Last Year

Visma Business

• We have changed display names in Group Reporting and edited the terms for all languages.
• Drill-down: We have moved the voucher link to the left so the link is easier to access when customers do a drill-down:

 

 

Visma Admin

• We have fixed an issue that caused errors in drilldown for some customers.
• We have fixed an issue where some customers experienced only being able to view data from the connection company.
• We now have support for creating consolidated reports.

Visma Global

• Added period functions: We have added some period function to Visma Global. The period functions are now consistent between Visma Global, Visma Business, Visma Lønn, and Visma Administration.

__________________________________________________

 

Budgeting: Access to Budgeting setup

To use the Budgeting setup in OneStop Reporting, the user must have the Can manage connections permission and a Budgeting license.

In the past users had to be Customer Administrators to use the Budgeting setup.

 

Administration: Set up Voucher Service for servers in DMZ

In the installation wizard, you can install Voucher Service.

 

 

In the Voucher Service step, you must enter port number for the voucher service. This is the port that is used for communicating to the external web server.

Administration: Support for integration extensions

We have now support integration extensions. Please note that we currently do not have any tools for you to build extensions in OneStop Reporting, but you can upload extensions and use.

As an administrator of a tenant, take the following steps to upload a customized model or an extension:

1. Click   Settings.
2. Click   Administration.
3. At the Tenant level, on the Overview tab, click the Add button in the Extensions section.

 

NOTE: Models can only be uploaded if the model is licensed. Extensions can only be uploaded if the base model is installed and licensed.

To remove an extension;

• Click   Remove extension.  The base model will remain.

 

Administration: Impossible to remove last Administrators on the customer level

In the past, administrators could remove themselves as administrators, even when they were the only administrator at that level. We have now removed this functionality to prevent the risk of not having administrator rights on this level.

If you try to remove the last Administrator at the Customer level, you will receive this message: “There has to be at least one Customer Administrator. Assign another user as Administrator before removing this user.” You must then add another Administrator and try again.

 

Report Designer: Partial support for Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook

We now offer partially support for macros (Excel) for reports in OneStop Reporting.

You can use macros in your reports when you create them in Report Designer and upload to OneStop Reporting portal. However, the macros will not run in the portal, but must be downloaded to Excel by the user for the macros to take effect.

 

Create reports with Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook

1. Create a new or edit an existing report from Live Reporting in Report Designer.
2. Create the macros.
3. Click Save.
4. In the dialog box that opens, click No to be able to select .xlsm format for your report.

 

5. In the Save as dialog box, select the Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) file format and click Save.

The report is uploaded to the portal.

NOTE: The macros cannot be run in Live Reporting, so the receiver of the report must download the report to Excel.

 

Exceptions

You cannot use Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook for packages in OneStop Reporting; the macros will only work for the first report in the package.

In addition, you cannot use the Sheet per value functionality when using macros in your report.

 

Report Designer: New Settings for Conditional Storage for Budgeting in Report Designer

We have implemented a new Settings menu for conditional storage for when creating budget templates in Report Designer.

Previously this options only had a Store always option. Now, users can better control how data are stored, for example, by ignoring rows or columns.

 

 

Store even unchanged cells: This option will force data from this cell to always be stored. The application will not do a check whether the input cell has changed its value or not.

Ignoring rows or columns:

• Use ignore flag on row: If the first cell in a row contains a value, the entry is ignored; hence not stored. False, 0, or empty string count as no value.
• Use ignore flag on column: If the first cell in a column contains a value, the entry is ignored; hence not stored. False, 0, or empty string count as no value.
• Use ignore flag on row or column: If the first cell in either the row or column contains a value, the entry is ignored; hence not stored. False, 0, or empty string count as no value.

Ignore cell value 0: Means that cells including 0, NULL, or empty are not stored. This is useful when you have larger budgets to avoid creating unnecessary records.

 

Suppress delete: Normally, values in a cell are deleted after pressing BACKSPACE or DEL or blanking out the value. If this option is selected, the value is used to update existing/insert a record in the storage dimension.

 

 

New integrations

We now support Visma Lønn, Visma Administration and Microsoft Dynamics AX (2009).

 

 

Fixes

• Live Reporting: When you create a new report in Live Reporting, the page now navigates to where the new report is in the report library. This makes it easier for users to see their new reports.
• Archive: Playlist column widths: We have adjusted the column widths for Playlists so that the Date column shows the entire text. We have also removed the Type column.
• Report Designer: Fixed issues with “Based on Excel range” settings in Comparable data: We have fixed an issue where users experienced that even though they selected the Based on Excel range option in Comparable data, the data were based on historical data.
• Report Designer: Fixed error when saving budgets with protected sheets in Report Designer. Some users have experienced error messages when input-protecting cells in Report Designer.
• Report Designer: Fixed issues with performance problems with the Index Excel formula in the portal by upgrading to SpreadJS 11.2.6.
• Report Designer: Error in Period lookup: We have fixed an error where some users would get an error message when using the Period lookup when the Current checkbox was selected.
• Workflow module: Fixed issue with publishing workflow with templates without parameters: Users have experienced receiving error messages when they set up a workflow that contains a template that does not contain any parameters.
• Workflow module: We have fixed an issue where some users would get a script error when editing a workflow user when there are no parameters in the workflow.
• Workflow: Crash when opening duplicated workflow: We have fixed an issue where some users would experience crashes when opening a duplicated workflow and clicking the Edit button.
• Budgeting: Creating budget assignment does not refresh parameter values after changing company: Users have experienced that when they assign a budget template and try to change company, the data are not updated. This issue is now resolved.
• Budgeting: We have now made it possible to delete content of a range of cells with Line Item Details in a budget template. In the past, you had to delete cell by cell for cells that contained LIDs.
• Budgeting: Missing scroll bar in Budget Flow: When users had budget templates with multiple parameters in a budget flow, there was no scroll bar. This has now been implemented.
• Budgeting: Copying cells in budgets not working in Internet Explorer: We have fixed an issue where users could not copy/paste cells in a budget more than once when using Internet Explorer.
• Budgeting: Line Item Details: We have fixed an issue where some users experienced problems when pasting numbers in ranges; the numbers without decimals would disappear. Also, for ranges containing empty cells, the old values were not overwritten.
• Budgeting: Distribution rules do not appear in Spread dialog: We have fixed an issue where some user experienced not being able to use distribution rules they have created in Settings > Distribution rule in Line Item Details in Budgeting.
• Budgeting: Save button always active: In the past, if users had selected the Store always option as a storage rule in a budget template, the Save button in the portal was inactive until the user actually started to edit a cell. This is now fixed so the Save button is always active.

 

Upgraded to new SpreadSheetGear version

The upgrade will fix a number of issues, such as:

• Improved performance for some complex array formulas.
• Fixed issue where adjoining cell borders that use different shade of the same Theme Color would not always render correctly.
• Fixed a problem which caused data validation to sometimes incorrectly return false when the cell being validated is below the last data cell in a column and the data validation has the possibility of returning true for a blank cell.
• Fixed date parsing to allow parsing dates without spaces such as “01nov” and “nov2018” as Excel does.
• Fixed number formats such as “$?,???,???,??0” to include spaces for unneeded decimal separators.

Integration-specific fixes

 

Administration: Set dynamic path for Visma Document Center

In the previous version, users could not set a dynamic path for Visma Document Center. This has now been fixed.

If you, for example, enter \\visma1\VismaData\Workflow\{Company}\Documents2 this path will now point to \\visma1\VismaData\Workflow\F0014\Documents2. (Where F0014 is the company code.)

For Visma Business, you can use the Prog table to override the path;

If you set up a key named voucherviewer, the Data area column should include an exact path to the vouchers, including the company code, such as, C:\Visma\Vouchers\F4100\Documents.

For outgoing invoices:

For incoming invoices:

(Screen shots are in from a Norwegian user interface)

 

For Visma Global, you can override the path from the [<schema>].[PMValue] table. The key is called “documents” and the column ValueText determines the path.

 

Support for PDF in Visma Document Center

We have now implemented PDF support for Visma Document Center, so users can view vouchers from pdf format.

 

Visma Global

Voucher viewer fails when customers have multiple companies. We have fixed this bug, but for users who have already installed, you can use the following workaround:

If you have more than one company, you must update the path for the vouchers in the ValueText field in the PMValue table where the Name column is Documents.

You must do this for each company database.

Data Manager: We have fixed an issue where users could not delete rows in the Data Manager table. The Delete rows button is now available for Visma Global.

 

Fixed Norwegian User Interface issue: Some users have experienced getting Danish language when they selected Norwegian. If the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of OneStop Reporting, please contact support.

 

Dynamics AX

AX Virtual Companies: We have made it possible for customers to use virtual companies and accounts in OneStop Reporting. The setup works exactly like it did in version 4.6, where users have to retrieve the folder location from the setting named Settings.ContentFolder. Then, a sub-folder path Models should be added to this path. The resulting path will be something like C:\OneStop\Content\Models.

Dynamics GP

Administration: Leading and trailing blanks in ERP connections: Some users have experienced formatting issues with report templates due to not being able to remove leading and trailing blanks when connecting to their ERP system. This issue is fixed by setting remove blanks as the default settings when connecting to the ERP system.
