Release date: November 7th, 2024 

Version number: 2024.11.1 or higher

We have updated our Terms, please review our User License Agreement page. 

This new version of Velixo NX will require you to register your account with Velixo, and agree to Velixo's latest License Agreement and Privacy Policy. From now on, you will also be notified within Velixo of any change to our terms or policies.

Rest assured, we didn't make drastic changes, the changes were mostly driven by the integrations of new programs, such as the Free Trial or Early Adopter programs.

🚀 New

• Opening Velixo to the world! If your company is new to Velixo, you can now activate a 15-day free trial license automatically when you connect to your ERP instance via Connection Manager. 
• Velixo NX Distribution Agent has been renamed to Velixo Tools. 
• The latest version of Velixo Tools (available for download at this link) enables Velixo’s new deep linking feature: Smart Links. 
  • Construct links using the custom velixo:// protocol and embed them on your Web or ERP pages. 
  • Velixo Tools allows your computer to process those links and open the specified Microsoft Excel workbook, filtered on the context of the page that you were looking, for example, the current project, task, or customer / vendor.
• New workbook-level option “Writeback processing order”: allows you to select between “over then down” and “down then over”. This is useful when you have multiple writeback formulas on the same worksheet and would like to process your orders row-by-row or column-by-column.
• We have added a new Refresh option in the Refresh menu: “Full Refresh (Slow)”. This option will refresh the entire workbook after dropping any locally cached data. It usually works much slower than the normal refresh options due to the necessity of reloading all data from your ERP system. However, in rare cases, using this option may be required
• Velixo NX is moving to a gradual randomised release rollout. Starting on the release date, we will be deploying the new version to an increasing number of customers over the period of 1-2 weeks.
• Drill-down functionality finally supports spilling range references (A1#)! Limitations still apply to functions like INDEX. 
• New CONNECTIONINFO function that allows you to display the connection URL or Tenant. 
• New customization package version (required for MYOB Acumatica users):
  • We have updated the Customization Package. Using this version is a requirement to keep using Velixo with new features introduced by MYOB Acumatica, and is mandatory if you’re upgrading to MYOB Acumatica 2024 R1. 
  • In addition to being available for download from this link, this version of Customization package is also embedded in core MYOB Acumatica 2024 R1.

✨ Improved

Drill-down:

• Drill-down functionality finally supports spilling range references (A1#)! Limitations may still apply to functions like INDEX.

Report distribution:

• Scheduled distribution using the Velixo command line tool (including via the Windows Task Scheduler) will now log the operation progress to the terminal window.
• Improved the overall reliability of the distribution process.

Functions: 

• Improved the error message displayed by the Connection Editor when a Sage Intacct user is locked out of the ERP system.
• GI / TOTABLE calls in table output mode: 
  • will now preserve original formatting for text values containing financial periods “01-2013” or zero-prefixed identifiers like “001”. Previously, they would be mistakenly automatically converted by Excel to a date or a numeric value. 
  • will attempt to preserve any filters that you may have applied to the output table.
  • will update the output table upon every function recalculation – previously, in some cases, when changing the parameters back and forth, you had to issue an extra refresh.

Writeback: 

• Supported long string values (over 255 symbols) for Universal Writeback. 
• New workbook-level option “Writeback processing order”: allows you to select between “over then down” and “down then over”. This is useful when you have multiple writeback formulas on the same worksheet and would like to process your orders row-by-row or column-by-column. 

Support:

• Improved internal diagnostic capabilities for failed ERP data requests.
• When you reach out to Velixo support, we will have a better idea of the Excel platform you use (Windows / Mac / Excel Online).

Snapshot:

• Supported snapshotting large files.

🔨 Fixed

Licensing: 

• Fixed an issue where company IDs containing spaces would display a licensing warning. 

Writeback: 

• Creation of Universal Writeback worksheets did not work correctly for MYOB Acumatica connections. 

Calculation: 

• After Microsoft had confirmed the bug fix on their side, we restored the functionality of displaying dates in the YYYY-MM-DD format (when returned by e.g. a GI or FINANCIALPERIODSTARTDATE function). 
• Implemented additional protective measures against a Microsoft Excel bug where it stopped recognizing Velixo functions and displayed #NAME in all the cells. 

UI: 

• Fixed a rare bug where ribbon icons would display a blue placeholder instead of the actual icon.
