  • Features are incorporated for users to save parameters for the respective user account and call them up from a list whenever required. In addition to these, the Rollover feature is enhanced with UDFs (User Defined Fields), which are available for the users to select and add into the Workflow rollover tool. Once added, the rollover tool populates the fields with the values from the previous year, which allows users to easily and quickly rollover workflows with necessary data.
