Read below for details on all the changes.
New
- Bulk edit in the Budget component
It is now possible to change certain fields for multiple lines in a Budget component.
Select one or more rules for which you want to make the same changes and click the Edit button at the top of the overview.
A pop-up opens with the available fields, which can be changed in bulk:
To change a field, first select one or more fields by checking the box: Edit this field. (The reason for this is so that fields are not accidentally overwritten 'blank' if no value is added, this way it is always clear which fields you are bulk modifying).
Once you have ticked one or more boxes, the field will become editable and you can enter a value. Click Save & Close to make the changes for the selected rules. Don't forget to save the tab!
- Export to CSV format
It is now possible to make an export in a CSV format. Go to Export in the menu bar and select export type: Csv.
The export overview has changed:
If the export contains multiple files, they will be displayed as detail lines. To view it, click on the arrow on the left side of the line. In the detail rows, you'll see a file type icon to download a single file.
In the main row, a zip icon will be displayed to download all files in one archive.
If the export contains a single file, an icon of the file type appears in the row.
The other export options have remained the same.
