October 2023 Official Release (5.0.0.58)

:newspaper: The October release of ReportWORQ is here and available for download!

This month we introduced some :rotating_light: significant improvements :rotating_light: to Excel report calculation performance, specifically designed to speed up larger reports with many Planning Analytics / TM1 DBR & DBRW formulas. Other performance improvements were made with our Workday Adaptive Planning Writeback support. We also expanded our integration with Microsoft SharePoint, adding it as a new source report provider. And, lastly, we made some general usability improvements and squashed a few bugs.

SharePoint as a Source Report Provider
We’ve had our SharePoint integration for a very long time, but only as a destination for reports generated by ReportWORQ. This release now lets you use SharePoint as a source for reports that you want to use in jobs. Add it like you would any other report provider:

Once configured, you’ll be able to select reports from SharePoint like you would from any other source! :tada:

Usability Improvements
A couple improvements to usability are worth highlighting:
:spiral_calendar: Scheduled Jobs: Ever wanted to kick off a scheduled job immediately in ReportWORQ? Well now you can by clicking the new “Run Now” option in the ReportWORQ scheduler.
:woman: :man: Account Management: Our account management screen has been updated to make it easier to review user account roles & access, and to perform common actions like password resets.
