Instead, use the SelfService_Estimate_AccountCodeCalculatedValue and SelfService_Estimate_AccountCodeReferencedData APIs.

Application

  • (Breaking change) Contract Document dataset – The Contract Document dataset used by the Contract and Portfolio dashboards has undergone targeted performance optimizations. ClosedRead more

    As part of the enhancements, the fields listed have been deprecated and removed from the dataset to streamline processing and improve overall efficiency.

    • Contract dashboard: URL

    • Portfolio dashboard: URL, ModifiedDate, CreatedDate, CalculatedAsOfTimestamp

  • (Breaking change) Estimate dashboard deprecation – The Estimate dashboard has been deprecated, and the View Estimate dashboard permission was also removed. The Estimate Portfolio dashboard published in Release 25.9 replaced the Estimate dashboard.

  • Dashboard refresh option – On the Dashboard page, a manual refresh option has been added to the dashboard menu. This feature allows users to refresh dashboard datasets without having to leave the Explore application. ClosedRead more

    To use the refresh option, you must have the permission Refresh Dashboard datasets (Suite administration > Roles and permissions >Explore > Dashboards). This allows administrators to manage the roles that can perform manual updates.

    To ensure optimal system performance and stability, there are set global limits that are enforced across all tenants.

    • Daily cap: Users are limited to refreshing five times per dashboard within a 24-hour period.

    • Cooldown period: A 30-minute wait is required between consecutive refresh requests to prevent system overload.

  • (Preview) Design dashboard – The new Design dashboard brings together planning, progress, productivity, resource, and quantity insights into one consolidated reporting experience. In this release, the new Design dashboard is hidden but it can be made available for users to preview when enabled in organization > Settings > Dashboard Management. ClosedRead more

    This initial version of the dashboard focuses on the Engineering module with additional capabilities planned for future releases. The dashboard enables Engineering teams and project leaders to quickly understand:

    • How design is progressing

    • Whether teams are performing efficiently

    • Where work is ahead or behind

    • How resources are being utilized

    • What scope and deliverables remain

    The dashboard provides clear visibility into earned versus planned performance, forecast remaining effort, scope completion, and CPI trends, enabling quicker identification of risk areas and stronger control over engineering delivery. Timeline and resource perspectives add context to sequencing and workload distribution, while quantity and package summaries connect physical progress and deliverables back to overall performance.
