What changed

This release brings a refreshed navigation and chat experience for the Assistant, deeper drill-down detail for budget execution reporting, and a new light theme as the default look. We also tightened up design consistency across cards and tabs, improved localization of chat greetings, and made several behind-the-scenes improvements to configuration handling and internal tooling.

Deeper Budget Execution Insights

Deeper Budget Execution Insights

Budget execution reports now let you drill further into spending by tag group, invoice, and contract, giving finance teams clearer visibility into where money is going. These enhancements make it easier to trace individual transactions back to their budget line.

  • You can now expand tag groups to see a full breakdown of related budget items.
  • Invoice-level detail is now available directly within budget execution views.
  • Per-contract invoiced amounts are now shown for clearer spend tracking.
  • A new drill-down drawer lets you explore linked records and per-line details without leaving the page.

  • The welcome greeting now matches your chosen interface language instead of a fixed default.
  • Chat messages no longer appear oddly floating on large screens and now use the full width.
  • Greeting text generation was moved to be more reliable and consistent.

New Light Theme for the Assistant

  • Settings, theme, and account options have been moved to a tidy sidebar footer.
  • Unnecessary visual elements like the reCAPTCHA badge have been hidden for a cleaner look.
