|---|---|
|
Robustness, Security and Deployment Improvements. |
Release 26.1 includes a broad set of quality and robustness improvements across the Angles for SAP platform:
Together, these improvements make Angles for SAP more secure, stable, and maintainable. Users benefit from a more reliable system during refreshes, upgrades, and peak usage — while administrators gain better visibility into import and deployment operations, reducing time spent diagnosing issues. |
|
OData - Improvements in robustness. |
Several improvements have been made to the stability and reliability of the OData service: Improved OData resilience and overall reliability.
Together, these improvements make the OData integration significantly more stable and predictable. Users relying on OData feeds in tools like Excel or Power BI can expect fewer unexplained failures, more meaningful error feedback, and greater confidence that their data connections will continue to work reliably — even under adverse conditions. |
| OData - Support EA4IT models. |
The OData service has been extended to support the EA4IT model, as well as any other real-time, non-refreshable model in database servers Yellowbrick or SQL Server. |
|
(Designer) Workbench Validation improvements. |
The validation during commit in (Designer) Workbench has been extended 45+ new validators and 14+ enhanced validators. The validation system has grown significantly with focus on:
Please note that the additional validation rules are temporarily presented as warning only to ensure seamless upgrades. After a period of allowing the user to process the validation output, the validation will be applied more strictly in a future release. |
End User - Usability Improvements
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Management Console Retry Configuration Support. |
The Management Console now includes a user-configurable feature that allows administrators to define custom retry duration and retry interval settings for SAP extraction failures. This provides greater control over extraction failure handling and resilience and reduces the need for manual intervention during SAP data extraction processes. These settings are configured directly in the Management Console, applied to the app server, and passed to the SAP Extractor API. |
| Search Page - Deactivate applied quick filters with the "clear filter" button. |
When using Quick Filters on the Angles Search Page and clicking the "Clear filter(s)" button, active Quick Filters remained applied. Users had to manually deselect each Quick Filter as a separate action, causing confusion and unnecessary extra steps. The "Clear filter(s)" button now deactivates all active Quick Filters in addition to clearing other applied filters. Search results refresh immediately to reflect the unfiltered state, and Quick Filter buttons correctly return to their inactive appearance. This makes filter clearing consistent and intuitive — users can now reset all active filtering in a single click, exactly as expected. |
|
Bulk Display Deletion in Angles |
Managing angles just got significantly more efficient. Users can now select and remove multiple displays from an angle in a single action, eliminating the need to delete them one by one. This is especially valuable when working with angle templates that come pre-loaded with displays — users can now quickly trim them down to exactly what they need. Key Capabilities:
Default displays cannot be deleted and will not be
selectable for deletion in the Display Overview panel.

[05483250] Support more than 500,000 rows for pivot and chart. |
Aggregated queries like pivot and chart were limited to 500,000 rows to preserve performance in the cloud architecture. The hard limit has been increased to 2,000,000 rows. |
|
EA4IT: Monitor Display Health with Warning and Error Fields. |
Administrators can now gain direct visibility into display health within the EA4IT model. Three new fields — Has Warnings, Has Errors, and Errors and Warnings — have been added to the Displays object, enabling targeted reporting and proactive troubleshooting at the individual display level. A dedicated template display is also included to help you quickly identify and diagnose problematic displays across your environment. Key Capabilities:

|
EA4IT: Identify Unused Fields with Enhanced Usage Tracking. |
The EA4IT model now tracks whether fields are used in filters, pivot options, and chart options within your angles, extending beyond the existing display usage tracking. Three new boolean fields in the Fields class help you identify fields that aren't actively used in any angle component:
A new pre-configured display, ‘Fields not used in Displays’, has been added to the Fields template to quickly identify unused fields. Key Benefits:
|
|
User Management - Import Platform Users Directly into Angles for SAP. |
Administrators can now manually import Platform users with status Active or Pending into Angles for SAP via a new button on the ITMC > Users > All Users page. This allows roles to be assigned immediately upon import, without requiring users to log in first. |
|
Search Page - Smarter Model Selection and Angle Creation. |
The Model filter has moved to the top of the Search page filter panel, and your model selection is now retained when navigating to Angle Creation — so you always start in the right context. Key Capabilities

End User - Fixes and Improvements
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
[05360311] Automation Tasks - "Check action" causes duplicates. |
It was found that on clicking ‘Check action’ the action would end up duplicated in the task. This has been resolved. |
|
[05369310] Language-Dependent Descriptions Now Display Correctly. |
When viewing SAP table or field descriptions with multiple language options enabled, the wrong language was displayed regardless of your selected user language. The system consistently showed the first alphabetically sorted language from enabled options instead of matching your user preference. Language-dependent descriptions now correctly display in your selected user language, ensuring SAP table and field descriptions appear in the language you're working in. If your selected language is not available, the system will display the description in the fallback language. |
|
[05495432] Export to Excel or CSV fails for EA4IT report 'Fields per Display'. |
It was found that the export to Excel or CSV would fail for EA4IT report ‘Fields per Display’. This has been resolved. |
|
[05499538] OData links suddenly stopped working. |
It was found that some OData links would suddenly stop working, with the OData log reporting duplicate fields in the display. This was ultimately caused by the angle integrity check process linking to the same field when the technical info would be the same. Resolution was provided in that process as well as additional logging to improve debugging abilities. |
|
[05501777] EA4IT Pivot display returns an internal server error. |
Pivot displays configured with an Action List field in the Row Data area and a first-character bucket applied returned a 500 internal server error on execution. Server-side processing of this Pivot configuration has been corrected. Affected displays now execute and refresh without errors. |
|
[05520381, 05375967] Page keeps loading on export to Excel after drilldown to item. |
It was found that the display page would keep showing the loading icon when exporting to Excel after drilldown to item. This has been resolved. |
|
Angle History Task - Event Schedule Type Now Saves Successfully. |
When configuring an Angle History task in the IT Management Console and selecting Event as the schedule type, clicking Save returned a 404 error ("Instance not found, event with id ''"), preventing the task from being saved. This issue has been resolved. Users can now successfully create and save Angle History tasks using the Event schedule type. Event-driven data exports can be configured as intended, ensuring automated reporting workflows based on event triggers are no longer blocked. |
|
Calculated Fields | Error when removing calculated field that was including in sorting. |
It was found that an error would be shown when removing a calculated field that was including in sorting the results. This has been resolved by adapting the sorting when removing the calculated field. |
|
Pivot field selection restricted by Field Chooser filter of unsaved display. |
It was found that the field selection for a Pivot would be restricted by the Field Chooser filter of an unsaved display. This has been resolved. |
|
Unsaved display still present in angle after re-executing. |
It was found that in some scenarios an unsaved display would still be present in the angle after the angle was re-executed. This has been resolved. |
|
User Currency Settings Not Applied in Pivot Displays. |
When applying User Currency settings to a Pivot display, values were not converted to the selected user currency and continued to show in the standard (source) currency instead. User Currency settings are now correctly applied in Pivot displays. Values are converted and shown in the configured user currency, ensuring consistent and accurate currency representation across all display types. |
