Dodeca V8 introduces EssJet technology, which allows Dodeca to run multiple Essbase retrieves, or sends, at the same time. Dodeca can now simultaneously run multiple queries from a single sheet or from multiple sheets in a workbook, which greatly enhances performance.
Read more about how our new EssJet technology in Dodeca Version 8 allows for concurrent Essbase retrievals, resulting in faster processing of Essbase queries.
Allows most processes, including Essbase data and metadata queries, commentary queries, and startup functionalities, to run in the background freeing the user-interface for more interaction while providing the option to cancel processes.
Dodeca uses the native Excel file format, but operates independently of Excel. The building of a view and retrieval of data does not prevent the user from continuing to use the software. A user can start a build, then start a second and third build returning to the initial view at their leisure. Therefore, long running queries can be executed while a user continues to work on other tasks.
Dodeca users can attach commentary to their reports to provide deeper explanations of data points and trends. The commentary feature is especially useful in budgeting and forecasting reports. If there is a variance between the actual expense and the budget, an explanation or annotation can be inserted.
The Dodeca Workbook Analyzer can analyze and clean Excel workbooks. This gives an administrator the ability to clean old workbooks which often contain unnecessary artifacts such as dead Excel links, #REF range names, extraneous styles, and unused Smart View data streams.
