Hi, 

The idea "View/Expand per dimension" with the description "Functionality to be able to set the exploration feature (show +/- on rows) in PAW per dimension and not just per view." has changed to status "delivered".   

In which version of Planning Analytics Workspace was this released? I cannot find the functionality. The features "show +/- on rows" and "show +/- on columns" do exist but if I did not misunderstand this idea, the intention was to be able to set this per dimension. E.g. if you have two stacked dimensions in the rows, it should be possible to activate "show +/-" for one dimension and inactivate it for the other dimension.

Thanks!

Hi

Do you have any information on when it will be possible to change the font size, font color and font family of the new selector widget?

Thanks!

Hi @STUART KING

Thank you for your answer in yesterday's session. I have a follow up question (sorry my original question was not precise enough), I was actually referring to the "header" of the selector widget and the possibility to change font size, font color and font family. Is this also included in the current development and will be released in Q1/Q2?

Hi

Do you have any information on when new formatting capabilities for the new cube viewer will be released?

Thanks! 

Hi @STUART KING

Thank you for your answer! Sounds fantastic and exactly what we are waiting for. Do you have a rough timeline for the features you mentioned?

Thanks!

Question1 ) TM1Web vs PASS? When PASS came out it seemed that it was primarily a rebrand of TM1 Web aside from being unbundled from the TM1 engine release and some technical changes. The release notes now seem refer exclusively to TM1 Web and there is rarely a reference to PASS. Can we get clarity on the naming and what each refers to. In fact it would be useful to see a glossary of names and terms used for all components.

Question 2) PAfE Print Report has gone from the Roadmap: Have you given up on delivering a Perspectives equivalent 'Print Report' capability in PAfE? ie: To support both custom & dynamic reports using DBRW's etc. nb: We have tried to use one of your Partners products, have spent a lot of time trying to get it to work for our use cases but have specific issues with it so we still have to use Perspectives Print Report.

I'll add a third

Question 3) Feederless engine. There was a lot of talk in 2019 and it has been mentioned a couple of time in the last few years but hasn't been mentioned for a long time. Is it still happening, if so what's the current timeline. 1, 3, 5 years?

Hi,

Are there any plans to support PAfE on RDP on Planning Analytics cloud? If there is no plan, what is the reason behind this limitation? 

To support PAfE, what is necessary is just updating the .Net and WebView2 on rich-tier. Some cloud customers use MacOS hence it is not possible to use PAfE on their machines.
There was RFE, CA-I-2673 "PAx - It should work on MacOS as well" in 2020, but it was rejected as "Not under consideration" with the comment of "IBM recognizes that MacOS usage is becoming more prevalent. While not currently prioritized, we continue to gather market requirements and to scope the work required.".
I feel more and more customers use MacOS now. If we don't support MacOS for PAfE, I think rich-tier should support PAfE at least.

Thanks.
