Missing Actuals Overview on Home Page

You can now quickly identify missing actuals from your team members directly from the home page - the one you see after login to Etropo. The home section displays summary of budget actuals that haven't been submitted by marketing team members for the last 3 months. Learn more about missing actuals view here.

Slack Integration Member Management

Now the Slack integration settings tab shows your connected Slack workspace and displays a table of team members who have connected the integration, helping you see who still hasn't connected the integration, therefore won't be receiving actuals request reminders. Learn more about the setup process here.

Range Selection

We made reviewing and analyzing budget plans and actuals more pleasant. You can now select multiple cells at once, just like in Excel. Hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and click to select individual cells, or use Shift to select ranges. Navigate through your budget with keyboard shortcuts and see exactly what you've selected. Learn more about currency management here.
