New release: qashqade 25.2.0

In this article

Release 25.2.0 focuses on usability improvements across the platform, making daily operations faster and more intuitive for administrators and users alike. This release streamlines event processing, simplifies waterfall setup, and delivers a cleaner, more transparent experience across key screens.

Bulk Upload for Carry and Capital Events

Carry and Capital Events can now be uploaded in bulk through the Manual Upload functionality. This allows users to set up large volumes of events significantly faster, reducing the manual effort previously required when processing carry or capital events one by one.

Streamlined Partner Transfer Event Approval

Partner Transfer Events can now be loaded directly to be Second-Set-of-Eyes approved. This enables a more efficient approval process for transfer events.

New Event-Driven GP Carry Admin Screens

The legacy GP Carry screens have been replaced with the new event-driven admin screens. This completes the transition to a more structured, auditable approach to carry management, bringing GP Carry in line with the broader event-based framework across the platform.

Enhanced Relationship Chart

The Relationship Chart has been redesigned with an improved look and feel, presenting vehicle structures in a clearer and more user-friendly way. Complex relationships and hierarchies are now easier to navigate and understand at a glance.

More Flexible Representations

Representations have been extended to support scenarios where the same partner represents the relationship between two vehicles in different roles.

Built-in Allocation Option on the Waterfall Run Screen

The Waterfall Run screen now includes a built-in allocation option, enabling simple one-step partner or association allocations directly without the need to create a separate waterfall setup. This reduces configuration overhead for straightforward allocation scenarios.

Further User Experience Enhancements

Several additional usability improvements are included in this release, such as the ability to reorder tabs on Data Management screens and a new filter option on the Waterfall Run screen. These refinements reflect ongoing attention to day-to-day workflow efficiency.
