    Apptio Planning Release 3.91 

    Release Date: April 28, 2025 
    IMPORTANT UPDATE: 
    Our release schedule is changing. Read more about the upcoming changes: Upcoming Changes to Apptio Planning's Release Cycle and Platform Infrastructure

    Enhanced Export Functionality 

    This release enhances the Export feature by introducing a comprehensive "Export All" option, allowing users to export all dimensions and attributes in the plan schema. 

    Key Enhancements: 

    • New "Export All" Option: Exports a complete dataset, including all dimensions and attributes in the plan schema. 

    • Renamed Export Options 

    • "Export Layout Only" is now "Export Layout" for clarity. 

    • Existing "Export All" is now "Export for Re-Import", indicating it only includes editable fields required for re-import. 

    • Tooltips for Clarity: Each export option includes detailed tooltips to explain its purpose. 

     

    Export Behavior: 

    • Export All: Exports the full plan schema, including all dimensions and attributes. 

    • Export Layout: Exports the latest saved layout, including all visible columns and filters. 

    • Export for Re-Import: Exports all editable fields in a format suitable for re-importing data. 

     

    Note: Publishing plan data through CTI or ADM will continue using the "Export for Re-Import" format (formerly the legacy "Export All" format). In a future release, plan publishing will be updated to include the full plan schema. 

     

    New "Last Updated" and "Modified By" Columns for Plan Line Items  

    We've added a Last Updated and Modified By column to all Plan Line Items tables-including Labor, Labor Activity, Contracts, Assets, and Financials. The Last Updated and Modified By columns shows the date, time, and username of the last user who edited each line item. The timestamp automatically adjusts to your locale settings for a personalized experience. 

    Note: When creating a plan from a baseline, the Last Updated date and Modified By user information will be carried over to the new plan.

    Bug Fixes 

    • Resolved an issue where updating actuals in an open plan or creating a plan from a baseline incorrectly generated forecast line items with zero financial cost, leading to unnecessary rows. Now, only line items with financial values are included. 

    • Improved the performance of importing Labor Activity plan data when Working Calendar is used.

    Excited for these features!

    Thanks for the updates, @Ngoc Le! 🙌

    Question here RE: Export Features & Publishing to CT - for data publishes to Cost Transparency, will this continue to use the "Export for Re-Import" option? (i.e. current state)

    Yes, publishing to Apptio Costing (Cost Transparency) via CTI or ADM will continue to use the existing format ("Export for Re-Import" option). In a future release, we plan to update this to use the full plan-schema (new "Export All" option). This may require some modifications to existing data pipelines in Apptio Costing.

    Thanks for confirming.

    You're right - there would be downstream implications if the new "Export All" feature will become the new scope of the publish option to Apptio Costing.

    Would there also be an option to define the type of plan data that will be published? (i.e. giving customers the ability to select whether the publish will be "Export All" vs. "Export for Re-Import")

    The plan is to allow you to select which export option you want to publish to Apptio Costing e.g. Export Layout, Export All (full plan schema), or Export for Re-import (current state).
