2024 Release Notes

Server 12.11.10.1 - December 13, 2024

• Addressed file processing issue for CCM in Gov.
• Improved Calculation Server Stability.

Technology Emissions Management - December 12, 2024

Today we launched Technology Emissions Management (“TEM”). TEM is designed to help organizations examine their IT Carbon Estate (Cloud & On-Prem) to meet internal sustainability needs and support reporting requirements.

Before this release, users couldn't view relevant reports related to sustainability measures around lowering carbon efforts.

Customers can see monthly and YTD metrics for both kWh and CO2e emissions.

Data is ingested from Cloudability, and Costing (where applicable), to provide a single pane of glass view of carbon emissions. On-prem and cloud emissions will be shown in dashboards to provide a full-picture view of ESG/Sustainability efforts and usage supporting multiple personas.

How this feature can help you

Organizations require a solution that provides a single view and defensible methodology to consistently measure IT’s carbon emissions across Cloud & On-prem providers. They also need to track carbon metrics and reduce emissions to meet sustainability goals.

Technology Emissions Management (“TEM”) enables customers to balance cost alongside carbon emissions for IT across On Premise and Public Cloud infrastructure.

TEM provides the customer with transparency in their IT carbon emissions calculations, as well as flexibility to improve data areas they can affect.

• Cost Pool Benchmark component (BETA): Cost Pool Benchmark provides insights for IT Leadership and IT Finance in support of strategic investment decisions regarding the role of IT in the business and the current IT operating model and sourcing strategies. Benchmarks can be used to understand cost structure of current strategy and to justify or adjust current investment and sourcing approaches. Compare IT spend to industry benchmarks (e.g. IT Spend as a % of Revenue).

• 

  

  To know more, see Cost Pool Benchmarks.

Billing Essentials (BETA, v200)

This feature enables Business Unit Managers, Service Owners, and IT Finance Managers to communicate the consumption and cost of Billable Services to consumers. This feature automates the billing process for select IT services, allowing users to chargeback services based on a PxQ approach, set rates using unit costs, and adjust for over or under forecasted recovery. Additionally, users can generate and send monthly bill invoices to consumers and store billing and chargeback records for a clear audit trail, streamlining the billing process and reducing manual effort

Labor Workbench for CT Configurations (BETA, v120)

This new feature enables admins and business unit owners to easily map labor resources to IT Towers using editable tables, and optionally to Applications. To get started, admins can install the "CTF- Labor Workbench" Component, which includes the Labor Workbench report and editable tables. End users can then modify labor to IT Towers mapping within Apptio reports and use it in conjunction with Time Tracking. A configuration guide is available to provide step-by-step setup instructions.

Components Panel Enhancements

Fixed in this release

Client 2.10 - November 22, 2024

New Client Features

Table Upload feature is now GA

Email Distribution Enhancements

Previously, the reporting period was set to the default time period, and the distribution frequency was Daily.

To know more, see Email Subscriptions.

Saved Views Enhancements

Previously, Saved Views feature was behind the flag and was not enabled by default. The table search and column filters were not persisting in the save and it was difficult to know if the user was on a saved view or a normal view.

To know more, see Saved Views.

Editable Table

• Auto flow of data for enriched editable tables - This update allows users to disable/enable data flow in enriched transform tables, reducing confusion and providing more control over data updates. With this change, users can modify source transform tables without automatically updating the transform off the enriched editable table, ensuring that cost model numbers are not impacted until changes are explicitly published. Additionally, the Score ET Transform will not be updated automatically, requiring users to explicitly publish changes to see the underlying table changes. To enable this feature, navigate to Project Settings and select the Disable Data Flow in enriched Transforms option.

  

  Previously, any change in the source table was automatically flowing to the editable table, without the publish step. This impacted the numbers in the cost model for customers.

  To know more, see Disable Date Flow.

• Recurring schedule option to 'Auto Promote to Production'- A new column 'Auto Promote To Production' is added to the Recurring Schedule screen, to enable administrators to have control over data management and facilitating more efficient monitoring and management of recurring jobs. The 'Auto Promote To Production' function promotes both new and updated data from the staging environment to the production environment based on the administrator's requirements. To enable this column, navigate to Project > Enable Features, and then select Enable Auto-promote to Production For Editable Table Recurring Schedules option.

  

  On selecting this option, the ‘Auto Promote To Production’ field and the ‘Auto Promote to Production’ column appears as shown.

  

  

  To know more, see Recurring Publish.

• New functions to display last and next publish time on the report- Two new functions GetNextPublishTime and GetLastPublishTime have been added to display the last publish time and next publish time of transform on reporting surface for editable tables. This feature allows users to easily view the publishing history and ensure that their changes have been successfully propagated to the transform table.

  

  To know more, see Functions.

• Support blank values in possible value list - Editable Tables now supports blank values in possible value lists, thereby reducing errors and making the data more efficient. This change allows TBMA users to enter blank values in editable tables without receiving an error message. When adding a row to an editable table, columns configured with possible values will no longer display an error if left blank, providing a more flexible and user-friendly experience.

  

Fixed in this release

• Fixed the Access Denied error when switching between Cloud Reporting & Billing Standard reports.
• Re-synced column definitions to resolve error on editable table after upgrade and merge.
• Fixed security vulnerabilities.

Server 12.11.9.1 - November 7, 2024

Client 2.9 - October 11, 2024

Dependency

Client v2.9 is compatible with Server 12.11.9 and 12.11.8.x

New Client Features

Enhanced Email Distribution feature (BETA)

The email subscription feature is enhanced to allow users to customize, share and utilize reports effectively. Users can now name the report distribution, set delivery schedules (e.g., monthly or weekly), and customize email content, including the sender, subject, and message. They can also include a PDF attachment featuring a "print layout" view of the report.

PDF Option for Simple Reports - Users can now create simple PDF reports for email subscriptions, providing a clean print view without the complexities of interactive elements. This feature is designed for administrators looking to enhance end user engagement. This report is limited to key performance indicators (KPIs), graphs, and tables, but does not support row-level security.

For more information, see Email Subscriptions.

Enhanced Navigation - Saved Views (BETA)

The Saved View feature has been introduced to enhance your reporting experience by allowing you to select and save interactive settings for future use. It also enables you to open reports directly to your preferred view and switch between different views with fewer clicks. This feature is currently behind the flag and not enabled by default. To get started, enable this beta feature via TBM Studio > Project > Enable Features and select Report Saved View. You can create a saved view by opening a report, adjusting Slicers, Column Pickers, Metric Pickers, Date Pickers, Group By options, and other filters. Click the View icon (the "eye" icon) in the top right navigation bar, then choose "Save" or "Save As" to name your view. Additionally, you can modify the properties of a saved view by clicking the View icon and selecting the three dots, allowing you to rename, set as default, or delete the view. This feature is designed to streamline your access to insights and improve your overall reporting efficiency.

For more information, see Saved Views.

Editable Tables

• Removed User Preference logging from Check In History - The SaveUserPreference entries will now be removed from the Change History UI and will only be accessible to Apptio admin.

  

  Previously, all changes to end user preference settings - recent report history, favorite reports, and landing pages, were logged in the Admin.db change history, thereby mixing admin and end user modifications.

• Trim leading/trailing spaces when creating a new column - To ensure consistency and prevent mismatches in data operations, the leading and trailing spaces in new column names will now be automatically trimmed on saving.

  

  Previously, when an administrator added a column with a trailing space, the actions like scripting and data validation would not match with the column name since the other operations trimmed trailing spaces.

• Row duplication now copies all fields in the backing table - Text BoxThe row duplication in editable tables has been updated in this release. If you duplicate a row in a report editable table, all fields from the original row will now be copied into the backing editable table by default, even if they aren’t listed in the "Included Columns." Fields will only be left out if you manually remove or change them during duplication.

  

  

  

  Previously, when duplicating a row in a report editable table, only the fields listed in the "Included Columns" were copied to the backing table, while other fields were left blank.

• Added advanced options for Button/Script lookups to another table - Administrators can now set up advanced button automations for editable tables. This feature allows buttons to run scripts based on values from another editable table, streamlining data changes and improving the user experience.

  The script searches for rows in the primary table that match the "Original" value from the lookup table, replaces it with the "New" value, and updates the Comment. A second script clears the values in the lookup table.

Fixed in this release

• Disabled the save button in editable tables when an error exists.
• Fixed issue where users with multiple roles were unable to edit the editable table report component.
• Resolved issue where editable table data had multiple rows for a single primary key.
• Fixed the issue of uploaded file rows retain the same order as they were uploaded.
• Fixed the date format inconsistency during file downloads from editable tables.
• Changed the formula for User Type column in Logins table to accommodate IBM domain login.
• Fixed issue with numeric primary key in enriched tables.
• Performance improvements to ApptioScript bulk updates.

No new application features.

New Server Features

Calc Explorer: Use Compact notation for displayed metrics

The metrics used for compact notation in Calc Explorer has been enhanced for improved readability. Metrics such as Calculation Effort, Number of Rows, and Number of Columns will now be displayed in a simplified format (e.g., 9.74T instead of 9,740,000,000,000). This change makes it easier to quickly understand large numbers immediately.

Fixed in this release

• Added a feature to encrypt sensitive data in browser storage by default for government users, with an option to disable encryption if preferred.
• Fixed the issue of error message for values that do not follow the possible value configuration upload.
• Fixed vulnerability issues

Client 2.8 - August 23, 2024

Server 12.11.7.1 - August 2, 2024

Server 12.11.7 - July 5, 2024

Application template: v120-8008

New Application Features

Component name displays 3 lines of text

The Components feature has been upgraded to display three lines of text, ensuring that the full names of components are visible. This enhancement offers several benefits: Facilitates the ability to utilize existing components as part of the Costing Standard solution. Simplifies the transition to future report content in the New Report Designer. Allows to differentiate between components with longer names, such as Cost Consumers, Cost Consumers – Reporting, and Cost Consumers – Workbench.

Previously, the component names appeared in two lines and were creating confusion with longer names.

New Server Features

Perspective detail information visible

The information displayed in the Perspectives section of the Project Explorer panel has been enhanced. Open the Perspectives section within the Project Explorer panel, select the desired perspective and view the source table and column information.

Previously, details on perspectives based on text, numeric, or modeled value types were unavailable, except for formulas.

Enhanced confirmation to close a branch

The process for closing branches has an additional step to reduce the risk of unintended deletions and provide a safer experience. Navigate to Project tab > Manage Branches and click the ‘X’ icon to close a branch. A confirmation popup appears asking users to enter the word ‘delete’ and then click OK.

Previously, closing a branch only required users to click OK, which led to accidental permanent deletions by some customers.

Precision Calc enhancements

The following optimizations have been implemented to optimize reporting processes, provide faster generation times, and improve responsiveness within our platform.

• Time-aware Optimizations: Time periods are calculated only when data has been updated or is impacted. This targeted approach reduces unnecessary computations, enhancing report generation speed and efficiency.
• Report Optimizations: The need for calculations related to non-material changes such as color palette adjustments has been eliminated. This streamlining ensures that computational resources are focused on essential report elements, further improving overall performance.

Fixed in this release

• Raised CPU resource request and removed limits from deployment.
• Fixed the issue of EditableTableConfigDTO not calling super in copyFromPojo and copyToPojo methods.
• Fixed data refreshing issues.
• Renamed the copyEditableTable function to CopyToEditableTable.

Client 2.7 - July 5, 2024

Dependency

Client v2.7 is compatible with Server 12.11.7 and 12.11.6.x

New Client Features

IBM Apptio Costing Essentials is GA

IBM ApptioCosting Essentials has launched Template v200, which is designed to streamline and simplify costing solutions for our users. It is a prescriptive costing solution authored in R12, tailored for smaller and less complex customers. It is implemented through CS Delivery for initial configuration and TAS for ongoing support. It utilizes standard components to facilitate ease of use and consistency across implementations.

Admins can create new projects using the Project Type “Costing Essentials”. These projects consist of components authored directly in R12. It is an upgradeable framework that supports future components, extending functionality to Costing Standard. It utilizes editable tables for data entry and maintenance, including mappings that drive pre-defined allocation methods.

Email Subscriptions for standard reports

This feature streamlines the process of managing and distributing Studio reports via scheduled email notifications, offering greater flexibility and control for administrators.

Administrators can sign up for email subscription of Studio reports directly from the application's "View" mode (excluding TBM Studio). Navigate to Export icon and select Email Subscription. Enter the mandatory values and then select Subscribe. The Manage Subscriptions option allows viewing of the complete list of email report subscriptions, accessible from both a "report" view and a "recipient" view.

Enhanced Navigation

• User Impersonation: Administrators can impersonate users to enhance administrative capabilities, enabling seamless customization of navigation settings to align with user preferences and roles within the platform. It also allows pre-configuration of landing pages and favorite reports for the key stakeholders. To impersonate a user, select the User icon > Impersonate, and then enter the username of the account to impersonate. In View mode, select the gear icon, and then select Configure landing page/favorites. Customize the landing page, select favorite reports and then Save the settings to apply them for the impersonated user.

  

• Deleting Reports: These enhancements ensure a smoother user experience by effectively managing and communicating changes to navigation settings, maintaining clarity and usability within the platform.

  When a favorite report or landing page is deleted or its permissions are changed by the Administrator, the users will be notified about it. If the user attempts to open a deleted or inaccessible report, an error message will appear. Similarly, the impacted report will be automatically removed from the Landing Page settings or from the list of favorites.

• Enhanced Report Name Display: In this release, we have improved how report names are displayed. This update provides clarity and accuracy in report identification, minimizes user confusion, and eliminates duplicates during selection. When users enter text in the Search texbox, and if duplicate alias names exist across report collections, the entire report name will be displayed with the alias in parentheses. For example, instead of multiple reports simply showing as "Summary", they will now appear as distinct entries such as "Infrastructure – Server (Summary)".

  

  Previously, duplicate alias report names would cause confusion when searching and selecting reports.

Editable Tables

• ApptioScript - DuplicateRow event type: Administrators can now define specific column behaviors in Editable Tables, using the ApptioScript. This feature also enhances data integrity, promoting efficiency and reducing errors in data management.
  • Add Row: Allows all columns to be editable, facilitating initial data input.
  • Duplicate Row: Enables administrators to lock down mapped columns, ensuring data integrity and preventing unintended modifications.

  For example, during Add Row actions, administrators may require all columns to be editable for comprehensive data input. But the Duplicate Row actions may restrict edits to mapped columns to maintain consistency and accuracy.

• Enhanced Publish Scheduler: The Editable Tables Publish Scheduler allows Administrators to create multiple schedules and centrally manage transform tables. It provides the ability to support different editable table use cases, data publishing needs, and is simpler to maintain and change “publish to” dates. To enable this feature, select Enable Recurring Publish for Transform Tables checkbox from Project > Enable Features tab. A new option Recurring Publish appears on the Build tab.

  

  

  

  

  Select Recurring Publish option to see the Recurring Publish page. It has two main tabs:

  • Transform Table: Provides a comprehensive view of all transform tables sourced from editable tables. It includes details such as the underlying editable table name and associated schedule information.
  • Recurring Schedule: Enables creation and modification of multiple schedules. Users can specify frequency, publish to periods, and other relevant parameters.

  Enabling this feature may require specific steps to migrate existing configurations seamlessly. To know more, see Recurring Publish.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed the issue with Errors page not reloading when changing the selected Environment from the drop-down.
• Reduced the time to upload large files into a raw editable tables.
• Fixed the issue of slicer width changing automatically.
• Fixed the issue of unconfigured "My Landing Page" not opening in the right side panel in Non-CT App.
• Fixed the issue of configured "My Landing Page" shifting to parent collection.
• Fixed the issue of Perspectives Detail information visibility.
• Addressed various vulnerability issues to bolster system security and ensure compliance.

Client 2.5 - April 12, 2024

Dependency

Client v2.5 is compatible with Server 12.11.5 and 12.11.4.x

Enhanced Navigation (BETA)

The Report navigation has been modernized to simplify the user experience by introducing the following new features. These features are currently behind the flag and not enabled by default. Admins can enable these beta feature via TBM Studio > Project > Enable Features and selecting: Report Search by Name, Configure Recent, Configure Home, Configure Favorites.

• Favorites: You can select one or more reports and mark them as favorite, so that you can access them easily, without the hassle of searching or navigating to it. To mark a report as favorite, you can select the favorite icon or use the Configure Favorites option from the Settings menu.

  

  

• Recents: The Recent option will appear in the left navigation menu of the production environments, and will display the list of recently accessed reports. It will show a maximum of five reports with the most recently accessed report at the top.

  

• Report Search: A search icon is added to the UI to search for a report and access it easily.

  

• Preferred Landing Page: You can select a specific page or report to be your default landing page. To mark a report as the landing page, use the Configure Home option from the Settings menu.

  

  

  To know more about the navigation enhancements, see Enhanced Navigation.

Send Email with a simplified link

On sharing any report to someone through email, the email message will be a context-specific report URL. Previously, the email contained a lengthy and multi-line URL link of report which looked unappealing and messy.

Editable Tables

• Explore configuration without check-out: Administrators can now explore the configure column section without checking out the Editable Table. To do this, open an editable table, select the different pipeline steps and then select the different columns within Configure Columns steps to see specific settings.

  Previously, administrators were forced to check out the document to review the configuration

  

• Editable Table - Hourly option for recurring publish scheduler: A new option Hourly is added to the publishing schedule of an editable table, so that is the recurring publish can run every hour. This will help with accurate information, without modifying the HTML text boxes during daylight savings time transitions. The start time can be modified to allow precise timing.

  Previously, if there were multiple publishes in a day, the admin would select daily recurrence with multiple start times, and the number of start times was originally 8.

  

• Editable Table - check box selection for future filtering using ApptioScript: A new value Add Check Box column is added in Properties > Advance tab of Editable Table Report component. On selecting this checkbox, a new column appears at the beginning of the editable table. This checkbox is used to select single or multiple rows and delete them. Select the checkbox and then right-click to see the Delete Row option.

  

  

• Editable Table - Retrieve editable table schema without loading data for very large tables: The users can now suppress the initial load of editable table on report by selecting the Suppress initial data request option in the Properties > Advanced tab. On enabling this option, only the configuration will be visible and not the data. The page must be refreshed manually or automatically after applying filter. The data will also be visible by selecting Update Data from right-click menu.

  

  

  

• Editable Table - Data validation for “intersects table”: A data validation step has been added to the Editable Tables. If you enter a data that does not exist in the validation table, the cell will turn red and hovering over the cell will display an error message. You will be able to save the changes, but the cell will remain red and rows with errors will appear at the top of the table for easy identification. See the below example - the valildation name is Locations, but the validation column is Location.

  

  

Fixed in this release

• Resolved the sync issue while checking out ET report.
• Fixed the issue of PDF export failing due to compact slicers.
• Fixed the issue of editable tables graying out and being unresponsive.
• Resolved the issue of incorrect error message showing while appending editable tables.
• Addressed various vulnerability issues to bolster system security and ensure compliance.
• Fixed the issue of Time picker being out of sync with report and data download.

Client v2.3 is compatible with Server 12.11.3 and 12.11.2.x

New Client Features

Editable Tables​

• Delete All Rows feature: A new optional feature, Delete All Rows, has been introduced in the editable tables report component. Using this button will delete all rows for raw editable tables leaving the table blank; and will remove all added rows or modified rows for enriched editable tables leaving the table in the same state as the source table. Changes to the editable table will be tracked and available via the 'Show Changes' feature.

  This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, right-click the editable table report component, select Properties > Advanced, and activate the Allow Delete All Rows option. The Delete All Rows button will be visible between the 'Add Row' and 'Publish' buttons on the reporting surface for users with the required permission.

  Previous to this feature, administrators would need to create a button with Apptio Script that ran two opposite conditions; e.g., if A=true, deleterow()); if A=false, deleterow(). This only worked for raw editable tables. If existing rows needed to be deleted from an enriched editable table, an engineer was required to delete rows in the backend database.

  

  

  To know more, see Delete All Rows section in Edit properties for tables.

• Slicers across multiple editable tables: A slicer can be used to filter across more than one editable table report component even if they are based on different editable tables. The column name must be the same in both editable tables. An example in the ApptioOne Demand Planning is solution is where the Volume Plan and Plan Status editable tables are displayed in the same report. Selecting one or more options in the slicer will filter both tables. If a slicer is placed within a Group report object, only the tables within the group will be impacted.

  Previous to this feature, an administrator would need to have an slicer above each table with the slicer using a column from the source editable table. End users would then need to select the desired value(s) in both slicers to filter both tables to the same values.

  

• Upload and Download UI : 'Download' and 'Upload' buttons have been added to the editable table report component. The Download button is enabled by default and will work with raw and enriched editable tables. The Download functionality mirrors the '<right-click> and Open in Excel...' feature and is based on the filtered report view.

  The Upload button is disabled by default and must be activated in studio mode. With the report checked-out, Right-click the editable table report component, select Properties > Advanced, and activate the Allow Upload option. The Upload feature is only available for raw editable and does not currently support enriched editable tables.

  Previous to this feature, a user could download the table by a Right-click to pull up the popup menu. This method is not visible nor easily accessible for casual users. Administrators could also add separate Download and Upload editable table report components on the report; however, these took up room on the report.

  

  NOTE: If a user attempts to upload data while the report is checked-out, the upload will not be allowed to proceed. The Upload and Save buttons will be disabled and the user must close the Upload data set modal by refreshing the table - right-click on the table area, and then select Update Data option.

  

• Upload and Download UI and permission enhancements: Editable Table Permissions have been updated for greater flexibility and control. The three new permissions include: Download Permission, Upload Permission, and Duplicate Row Permission. The Duplicate Row provides for separate, independent control from Add Row.

  Previous to this feature, the Add Row Permission controlled both add and duplicate rows.

  

• Data Validation - Integrated into Table Upload process flow: Data validation has been integrated into the editable table report component to prevent the upload of corrupt or incorrect data. This feature can be activated via the Project > Enable Features dropdown and selecting Enable Validation Step for Editable Table (Beta). Errors or warnings are displayed in real-time as data is entered, with clear explanations provided for any issues. When a user uploads data which fails the data validation rules, the cells will be highlighted in red with hover over explanations to help the user resolve any data issues.

  Enable data validation

  

  End user manually entering data with incorrect values

  

  End user uploaded dataset with incorrect values

  

  ► Learn about: Data Validation for Editable Tables

• Respect Add Row permissions with copy/paste: For copy/paste actions in editable tables, new rows will be added as needed, provided the user has 'Add Row Permission'. Without this permission, an error message will be displayed.

  Previous to this feature, additional rows would be added with the copy/paste action even if the user did not have ‘Add Row Permission’.

  User pasting multiple rows without Add Row Permission

  

  Apptio Script - new RowCount_EditableTable() function: A new function, RowCount_EditableTable(<Editable Table Name>), is now available. It returns the total number of rows in the underlying table of the report, or in a specified table if a name is provided. This is useful when using advanced script to delete and/or copy tables.

  Previous to this feature, administrators may have tried to use the RowCount() feature which did not work for editable tables.

  ► Learn about:: RowCount_EditableTable() function

Multi-currency selection and slicer behavior

Users can now switch between multiple currencies without resetting to the default report view. Current ad hoc selections (pivots, filters, column pickers) are retained when changing currencies.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where descriptions, names, and notes were not visible in Perspectives.
• Resolved a problem where formulas were inadvertently saved when creating a perspective.
