Apex Styling Support
We’ve made minor changes to our UI styling to better align with the Apex look & feel. Apex is the new Apptio-wide common UX which will be introduced later this year. Basically, we've changed fonts and colors to give our apps a cleaner, more modern look. We also modified the styling of the plan header (the area just below the app menus and the start of the page content) to cleanly separate it from app navigation and to provide a crisper look, as you can see in the images below.
New App Look and Feel
Here's a more detailed look at the changes in the plan header styling. There's no functional changes: everything still works the same, just looks a bit different, and better.

Department Level Dimensions in Self-Service Reporting (SSR)
We've added new dimensions (Level 1 and Level 2) to the IT Planning SSR data sources. Level 1 and Level 2 refer to the top and next top level department roll-up associated with a line item's cost object (department). Level 1 is the first list of departments that appear in the "All Departments" drop-down in IT Planning; Level 2 is the next list of departments that appear under Level 1 departments. These dimensions support executive-level reporting by providing for aggregation of plan line item values up to executive and senior manager's department levels.
Figure 1: Level 1 and Level 2 values in IT Planning's "All Departments" drop-down list.
Figure 2: Level 1 and Level 2 dimensions can be found in SSR visualization configuration, under "Add Dimensions" drop-down list.
