Drag-and-drop functionality for Jedox Views

The user experience within Jedox has been reimagined with real-time enhancements for Jedox Views. Imagine making live changes to Views and visualizing those changes instantly without the need for previews. Accessing point-of-view dimensions directly from the spreadsheet enhances agility in data manipulation. The power of adjusting and updating Views after element selection transforms how data can be sliced, diced, and visualized.

Unified task pane navigation

Navigating complex tasks becomes more intuitive with the introduction of a unified task pane. This consolidated interface centralizes access to multiple features, eliminating the need to switch between various sections of the Jedox platform. This enhancement aims to boost productivity and streamline workflows by minimizing the time spent on navigation.

Simplified data governance

Data governance is a cornerstone of financial planning. The updated Audit viewer now extends its scope to manage and display database and dimension changes. This equips organizations with the ability to track changes and effectively adhere to internal governance policies. From tracking dimension modifications to monitoring cube and element creation, this update empowers finance teams to maintain data integrity with ease.

Seamless integration with Snowflake

The latest Snowflake connector elevates Jedox’s powerful integration capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly extract relevant information from Snowflake’s cloud data warehouse. With native support for Snowflake connections, Jedox users can extract data from relational tables, including critical customer information and metadata, with just a few clicks.

Advanced authentication methods ensure security, and users can preview their data before moving forward with extraction. By seamlessly integrating with Snowflake, Jedox accelerates data extraction processes while unifying diverse datasets for finance teams. This ensures efficient access to a consolidated view of critical information within a central platform, eliminating data silos and enhancing collaboration between finance and controllers.

Additional enhancements

With a strong focus on usability, the 2023.3 platform release brings users numerous improvements across platform components for their daily tasks.

In the Jedox Suite, users can easily avoid accidental over-population of cubes with add/set splashing. Now, writeback actions that use the “Add/Set” splashing commands (“!”/”!!”) and would affect too many cells (exceeding a threshold) are prevented via the planning assistant. The newly released features also extend to Canvas users, saving them valuable time and increasing their productivity in numerous ways. For example, multi-select and formatting for multiple native objects allows Canvas designers to quickly apply a consistent style to multiple objects at once. Similarly, with the new format painter they can quickly and effortlessly apply consistent styles to multiple components.

Providing quick access to available keyboard shortcuts effectively promotes their use and subsequently increases productivity when working with the Jedox Add-in for Excel 365.
