The IBM Planning Analytics on Cloud team is announcing a change to the original schedule for Rich Tier Removal. The date is now November 16th 2024 (to coincide with November monthly maintenance) for removal of all Rich Tier desktops.  You can continue to use the Rich Tier up until this date,  as you transition to using the new functionality. 

This change will allow us to continue to improve quality and enhance the capabilities that have been introduced in SC98 for the Drive Explorer, Modeling Workbench and Administration. We would like to highlight some future functionality that we plan to address in time for the SC99 release notably:

1. Inline notifications - the ability to know the status of your request (zip/unzip) in the drive explorer:
   
2. The ability to unzip to a named folder (create a folder while unzipping)
3. Improved UX performance when managing a large number of files
4. S:\ drive disk space and remaining disk space displayed
5. Display of File and Folder count in the UX
6. The tm1s.log file will be visible such that file size can be seen. You will not however, be able to open or edit this file. 
7. Option to copy the current file path to the clipboard (useful when the Drive Explorer wants to use files outside the model_upload directory for TI processes that use the Location data source):
   

We look forward to your continued feedback.
