🚀 New

  • UX

    • The status panel of Velixo NX will now accumulate and display error messages that occurred in Velixo formula cells during refresh, along with a clickable cell address that navigates you to the offending formula. (#4860) This is done on a best-effort and the following limitations apply:

      • Only errors in Velixo formulas can be detected.

      • If a given Velixo formula errors out due to an error in a precedent cell, Excel does not invoke our code at all; therefore, we cannot detect if there was an error.

      • The addresses in the panel will not automatically update if you insert/remove cells to your workbook, but we will try to display a notification that the information in the panel might be outdated.

    • We removed the Freshdesk support widget from the side panel; upon clicking the help button, we will now direct you to the fully fledged support experience in the browser. (#4834)

  • Distribution

    • Velixo NX now experimentally supports the Report Distribution functionality that you know and love from Velixo Classic!

      • This functionality is only available on Excel Desktop for Windows and requires installing a separate report distribution agent add-in as a pre-requisite. Download it here.

  • Functions

    • WORKBOOKLASTREFRESHDATE() and WORKBOOKLASTREFRESHBY() for better visibility on whether the data in the workbook is up-to-date. (#4823)

    • COMPANYNAME() function that allows you to retrieve a name of a given Acumatica company. (#3068)

      • ❗Using this function requires installing the latest Velixo customization project.

  • Writeback

    • In the generic WRITEBACK function, a new screen setting “WritebackBranch” has been supported that allows you to perform writeback in the sign-in scope of a given Acumatica branch. This comes in handy in a number of narrow scenarios such as using branch-restricted cash accounts. (#4759)

✨ Improved

  • Integration with Acumatica

    • Better-looking template files exported using Acumatica’s Export to Velixo button (Generic Inquiries, Import Scenarios). (#4688)

  • UX

    • Velixo now displays a confirmation dialogue when you try to delete a connection. (#4590)

    • The flow of signing you in with Microsoft 365 account has been made more explicit and reliable. (#4797)

      • The “Get started” button on the initial page has been renamed into “Sign in with Microsoft”.

      • If something goes wrong sign in with Microsoft does not work, we have introduced a fallback method of signing in using a one-time code sent to your email.

  • Drilldown

    • Major improvement in the speed of drill-down table rendering after the data retrieval has completed. (#4720)

    • Better error message displayed when a user attempts to remove the drilldown worksheets in a protected workbook. (#4611)

  • Calculation

    • The “Cancel refresh” operation became more responsive. (#4104)

    • Improved the error message when the user has insufficient access rights to access an Acumatica endpoint. (#4762)

    • More stable calculation behavior in workbooks containing Auto-Hide ranges and volatile formulas. (#4600)

  • Writeback

    • Improved UX when a user attempts to insert a new generic writeback worksheet without selecting an import scenario (#4665)

    • Supported direct hard-coded values passed to the generic WRITEBACK function. (#4848)

    • More consistent amount rounding behavior in budget writeback.

    • Better stability of writeback operations in case the focus shifts away from Excel. (#4749)

    • Writeback for “Selected cells” has been supported in the context of the journal transaction writeback. (#4775)

    • Fixed a bug that could lead to infinite/stuck writeback in rare cases. (#4637)
