The new anyLogistix 2.14 includes a host of improvements related to different areas and functions of the tool. Let’s see what this new version brings!
Import/Export Improvements
As in each of the last few releases, we continue to simplify the import/export process, with the goal of making ELT and data processing for ALX a smoother experience. In ALX 2.14, the enhancements are:
- Error messages give the exact location of the issue in the Excel spreadsheet. This has been one of the most asked-for features. Now it’s much easier to troubleshoot import errors, beacuse you know exactly what they are.
- Column headers for policy parameters. This makes working with external databases more intuitive by removing the need to work with unnamed columns.
- Added support for Excel formulas. If you import an Excel file that contains cell values calculated by formulas, ALX will read the values of cells – helping simplify data preparation. For this feature to work, you must select the checkbox “Scenario contains formulas” in the Advanced options when importing.
- User-defined columns do not affect the import process. Convenient for cases when the actual Excel file contains more data columns than needed for the scenario.
New Help system
The updated Documentation system is now embedded into anyLogistix software. It includes a clean and fresh design, dark mode, text resizing, and last but not least, a much better and quicker search. Check out its web version too!
