New Features and Functionality

• Summary report:
  • The Summary report has been completely redesigned to be more visually informative and give the user a better overview of the calculated case. The layout is structured as a dashboard with boxes and graphical plots.
    • KPIs and sums are presented in boxes at the top of the report.
    • Four graphical plots show the cash flows before and after tax, productions, investments, and costs in yearly values.
    • Any Break even and Goal seek results are displayed in boxes at the bottom of the report.
    • The report now focuses on one discount rate and after-tax mode at a time, compared to the previous report, which showed all combinations in a table view.
    • The KPIs Capital efficiency index (CEI), Risk reward (RR), and Government take are no longer displayed in this report, but can be found in the Rank, Profiles, and Dashboard portfolio reports.
• Project import tool:
  • The new tool makes it easier to import data and generate projects from external spreadsheets. This is an alternative to the existing External profiles system and is useful for cases where project data has been exported from a database to a spreadsheet.
    • When opening an external spreadsheet in the Project import editor, the values in the spreadsheet columns can be mapped to Arcast^® project settings and profiles.
    • Mappings are defined by using a wizard with guided steps.
    • When mappings have been defined, Arcast projects are generated and placed in the project list.
