Chains
Chain Builder UI improvements
The Chain Builder UI has been refined to make the Chain Builder UI more usable, robust, and responsive.When a chain is executed (running), nodes now show a running animation and each node shows an icon and color based on its result. Nodes and edges that are not part of the running chain are hidden while the chain is running.Hovering over a node on the Chain Builder Canvas when you are on the Execute Chain page displays two icons. Clicking the first and then clicking Run Chain runs only the command in that node.Clicking the second and then clicking Run Chain runs the chain starting from that node.
While that node is selected, all other nodes and edges are grayed/opaqued out. Clicking elsewhere on the graph unselects the node.Here are the other improvements we have made: Cleaner design: All components in the Node panel include descriptions.Faster filter access: The reoriented filter panel allows quicker access.Quicker deletions: Pressing Backspace removes selected nodes.Smart scrolling: Dragging a node to the edge of the screen auto-scrolls the canvas.Improved start: Nodes with outgoing edges can now be dragged directly into the "START" position.
General
Glossaries increased to 50 Languages
The machine translation glossary will now support 50 languages. These languages will still be limited to languages supported with Workiva's machine translation.
Sustainability
Add multiple assignees to metric tasks
When you create a task for a Sustainability Program metric, you can now add multiple workspace members as the assignee, such as to assign a backup or a cohort of subject matter experts. When a task has multiple assignees, any of them can prepare its values and complete the task.
If a metric task has multiple assignees, queries that use the Program as a source return a comma-separated list of the assigned members; previously, queries returned only one assignee. If necessary, edit queries to accommodate comma-separated lists as a possible result.
To learn more, see this Workiva Support page: Add multiple assignees to metric tasks.
Prepare for draft simplified ESRS with Transition Accelerator
To help prepare for the draft simplified European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), you can use the ESRS Transition Accelerator — now available on Workiva Marketplace [https://marketplace.workiva.com/en-us/templates/esrs-transition-accelerator]!
With this Spreadsheet and it connected queries, you can: - Compare the ESRS Delegated Act of 2023 and the draft simplified ESRS recently published by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), and identify changes between the two for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). - Identify metrics in Sustainability Program related to ESRS, and decide how to adjust them based on the changes. - Automatically generate import templates to easily add or update metrics based on your decisions.
