In this release:

Hide Sensitive Labor Data from Users

You can now identify sensitive labor columns and hide those sensitive labor data from users in IT Planning. First, the administrator will identify the columns in the Labor expense tab that are sensitive and need to be hidden from users. Then the users who should not have access to sensitive labor data can be revoked access to those sensitive labor data. By default, the users will have access to the sensitive labor data.

NOTE: After upgrading your IT Planning tenant, existing users will continue to have access to sensitive labor data. To revoke certain users from access to the sensitive labor data, revoke the user's access directly from Cost Object Permissions.

Dependent Picklists 

Dependent picklists give you the ability to filter the list of values displayed in a picklist based upon other values in the line item.  For example, the list of Vendors can be filtered by the current Asset Class selection to show only Hardware or Software vendors. Dependent picklists make it easier for Admins to constrain the number of choices available to the user during line item data entry improving data quality while providing a better entry experience for users. 

Figure 3: Table with dependent picklist (right) is used to filter results, making it easier to make choices
