Nextedy RISKSHEET

Risksheet 25.2: Smarter Exports, Clearer Filtering, and Performance Boosts

The latest Risksheet 25.2 release introduces key enhancements to usability, exports, and filtering efficiency. Users can now focus only on changed items (added, updated, or removed) in Risksheet and exports, helping them quickly identify key modifications without distraction from unchanged data.

PDF exports now offer better formatting for empty cells, displaying “N/A” indicators to improve clarity. Additionally, Risksheet comparison exports to PDF can now include a configurable cover page, providing contextual details such as the compared revisions. Performance optimizations ensure faster handling of merged cells in PDF and Excel exports, improving efficiency in large datasets.

Filtering has been made more intuitive with a funnel icon in the footer and real-time row count updates reflecting visible filtered data. Moreover, Risksheet’s customizability has been enhanced by exposing Polarion services in Velocity scripts, enabling more advanced configurations tailored to user needs.
