Customer Need
Repeated SOQL queries in Apex logic create redundant processing and strain governor limits—especially in high-scale environments. Developers needed guidance on where caching can reduce database load.
Solution / How To Configure
ApexGuru now detects repeated SOQL queries that should be cached using Salesforce Platform Cache. It flags missed opportunities where semi-static data is queried without caching across triggers or entry points.This release adds detection of SOQL reuse patterns that should leverage Platform Cache, along with examples and links to Salesforce caching best practices.
Use Case
A dev team reviewing trigger logic sees repeated queries to a lookup object. ApexGuru highlights the missed use of Platform Cache, helping the team refactor the query and improve runtime efficiency.
Impact
Prevents unnecessary database load, reduces CPU time, and safeguards against SOQL limit breaches—especially in workflows involving frequently reused or semi-static reference data.
UE (Prod & Full copy Sandbox), and all Signature orgs
Expanded Antipattern Coverage
Four new detection rules now live to boost Apex code efficiency
Customer Need
Subtle performance issues—like sorting in Apex or manual aggregation—often slip through reviews and accumulate over time. Developers need smarter guardrails to flag these risks early in the cycle.
Solution / How To Configure
ApexGuru now detects four new antipatterns: sorting in Apex, inefficient Map creation, manual List/Set copying, and using Apex loops for data aggregation instead of SOQL. These are flagged with clear examples and fix suggestions.
Use Case
Before a release, a developer scans Apex classes and sees ApexGuru flag a manual loop that totals Opportunity values. Replacing it with a SOQL SUM() improves both code clarity and runtime efficiency.
Impact
These detections reduce CPU usage, improve org stability under load, and help dev teams meet performance guardrails without guesswork.

Actions & Messaging
Multi-Select recipients for Email Action
Usability improvements for Send Email Actions
Customer Need
Users wanted a way to select multiple values for recipients. Earlier recipient configuration required both single and collection values for populating CC, and BCC recipients.
Solution / How To Configure
Admins can now select multiple literals, scaler, collection values for the same input without worrying about the logic to merge values.
At the runtime, selections made are individually evaluated and the values are bundled to make one list. Which is then assigned to the input.
The order of pills decides the order in which values are positioned in the bundled list.
Use Case
Admin wants to easily add multiple recipients without the need to use assignments or provide it to collection inputs
Impact
Admin productivity, usability improvement.

Transaction Control for All
Configure Actions to run in a new transaction in more Flow Types
Customer Need
Actions that make a callout cannot run if the same transaction has previously made a database change, like a Create, Update, or Delete. Actions in Screen Flows have the capability to run in a new transaction, but this option hasn’t been available in non-Screen Flows.
Solution / How To Configure
Any Flow Type that supports a Wait element can now be run in a new transaction if it makes a callout and there had been a database change before it ran. Just like with the Transaction Control in Screen Flows, Salesforce will automatically decide if this needs to happen, while giving Admins the ability to optionally always run in a new transaction or always continue in the same transaction.
Use Case
If a process needs to update a Contact record then send a callout to an external system, use Transaction Control to put both of those actions into a single Flow instead of needing to carefully orchestrate separate transactions.
Impact
Use Actions with Callouts more easily in more circumstances in more Flow Types with fewer errors

Salesforce DocGen using Context Services
Alternative to Omnistudio Data Mappers
Customer Need
Entire RevCloud uses Context services for data hydration, data sharing and data persistence. Document Generation so far depends on omni data mappers for mapping of Salesforce object data. There is a need for customers to use one single approach to handle data aspects. Hence, DocGen to support Context Services as an alternative to Omni Data Mappers.
Solution / How To Configure
RevCloud customers could configure either omni data mappers (omni licenses are already part of RCA/RCB) or Context services (no additional licenses) for mapping purposes.

Use Case
Document Generation with context services could potentially be substituted for all Omni based Document Generation.
Impact
No additional need to learn new tool Omni for data mapping purposes. In addition, the scale limitations of Omni could be overcome on certain cases through context services

For a guest (unauthenticated) user scenario, when either of the agent or the end user end the chat it also ends the conversation. So ending a messaging session also ends the conversation and a new messaging session creates a new conversation every time - with no chat history history persisting across chats.
Impact
This is one of the important parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent with multiple customers demanding session-based chats supporting a synchronous chat experience as they plan their transition to MIAW.

Queue Position
Provide a way for end users to view the queue position as they wait for the chat to be assigned and accepted by an agent
Customer Need
Given the impending EOL for legacy chat, what forms the table-stakes from existing LA customers is to be able to use the same Live Agent features as they transition over to MIAW. One of the key areas customers expect to be addressed is the end user experience when a chat has been initiated and the user is waiting for an agent to accept the chat so as to minimize the abandonment during this phase.
Solution / How To Configure
Admins can enable Displaying Queue position in the channel settings for a MIAW channel.
Use Case
End user initiates a chat by clicking on the chat button/ submitting the pre-chat form (or during chat transfer) and as he waits for an agent to accept the chat he can see his queue position in the chat window which keeps him engaged.
Impact
This is one of more important parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent and addresses the concern of multiple customers.

Additional File Type Support
Added support for additional file types including audio and video.
Customer Need
Customer service teams need to handle complex, multi-modal issues efficiently. Agents require the ability to receive and review video and audio files directly within the chat interface to gain immediate context and provide more accurate, faster support.
Solution / How To Configure
Configurable in setup.
Use Case
A customer is experiencing a technical issue with a physical product, such as a flickering screen on a device. They initiate a chat with a support agent. Instead of trying to describe the problem with text, the customer uses the integrated chat feature to record a short video of the flickering screen and sends it directly to the agent. The agent can immediately see the exact issue, identify the problem, and provide a solution
Impact
Supporting video and audio file types within the chat SDK has a transformative impact on customer support leading to higher adoption.

Chat Invitations for MIAW web
Invite users to chat by invoking chat invitation on predefined events
Customer Need
Customers looking for parity features with Live Agent have asked for Chat Invitations where they want to invite customers to initiate chats with agents on meeting certain criterion as they browse the website like seconds spent on web page/ website, landing on specific page URLs etc or a combination of those.
Solution / How To Configure
From the embedded deployment settings, enable Invitations and configure the invitation settings by clicking on the ‘Chat Invitations’ feature card
Use Case
An end user after spending ‘x’ secs on a website lands on the website.com/support page; on doing so he sees a chat invitation bubble (in the page) with a invitation Message. On clicking, it opens the chat window and initiates a chat.
Impact
This is the last of all major parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent for web and addresses the concern of multiple customers who want proactive chat capabilities.
UE or EE + DE
Chat Buttons Visibility Control
Hide/ display chat buttons depending on agent availability
Customer Need
Multiple customers have requested support for synchronous chat experience at par with Live Agent where they don’t want chats to be initiated from a web page/ app when there are no agents available. They would rather prefer the chat button to be hidden when there is no agent availability since it would lead to setting wrong expectations with end users who might end up with poor experience.
Solution / How To Configure
Provide a channel level setting which when enabled would hide the chat button when there is no agent availability. Agent availability criterion (max queue limit) is to be specified while enabling the setting.
Use Case
On web page load, the end user does not see the chat button since the agents in the assigned queue are not available to accept the chat. 30 seconds later, the chat client checks for availability and since agents are available now - the chat button becomes visible.
Impact
This is one of the key parity gaps MIAW has with Live Agent and addresses the concern of multiple customers regarding support chats to be streamlined for a more synchronous chat experience to better manage their end user expectations and minimize frustration with wait times.

Customer Need
Customers need to ensure the quality and accuracy of AI-generated content. They require a way to prevent the publication of responses that are factually incorrect, nonsensical, or inappropriate. The ability to automatically validate these responses before they go live is critical for maintaining brand reputation and user trust.

Once they create the WhatsApp Flow format, they will be able to add the content right from within the builder including multiple questions (up to 3) per page.
Use Case
A doctor's office can use WhatsApp Flows to streamline pre-check-in by sending patients a guided Flow to complete essential details before their visit. This reduces wait times, minimizes paperwork, and ensures a smoother check-in process—all within the convenience of WhatsApp.
Impact
WhatsApp Flows automate workflows, reduce manual effort, and enhance customer satisfaction, leading to faster resolutions and a seamless experience within a trusted messaging channel.

Triggered Outbound on Enhanced Facebook
Automate outbound updates and alerts on Enhanced Facebook
Customer Need
Previously, customers on Enhanced Facebook Messenger could not send automated, triggered outbound messages.

Solution / How To Configure
This enhancement closes the feature gap, allowing you to send triggered outbound messages on Enhanced Facebook.
First, create a Notification message component with a Media Format that is supported by Facebook. Once the Notification component is active, it can be referenced in the Send Conversation Message flow action to trigger the outbound message automatically.�
Use Case
A retail company wants to proactively inform a customer that their order has shipped.
Impact
By enabling automated outbound messaging, businesses can improve agent efficiency by eliminating the need to manually send routine updates. This allows agents to focus on more complex conversations. Furthermore, it improves overall customer satisfaction by delivering timely, proactive information directly within the messaging thread.

Troubleshoot Faster with the
Enhanced Messaging Log
Get actionable insights into your outbound messaging traffic
Customer Need
Administrators lacked a self-service way to diagnose why outbound messages failed on Enhanced Channels. This led to lengthy troubleshooting and uncertainty, unlike the visibility available for standard channels.
Solution / How To Configure
A new Enhanced Messaging Log is now available in Setup. It lists all triggered outbound messages, allowing admins to drill into specific failures to see the root cause (e.g., an unapproved WhatsApp template)
Use Case
An admin sees appointment reminders are failing on WhatsApp. They can now go directly to the Enhanced Messaging Log, identify the specific error (e.g., "ApprovedExternalTemplateRequired"), and take immediate action to resolve the issue.
Impact
This log provides actionable insights that dramatically decrease troubleshooting time. By quickly resolving errors, admins improve the reliability of automated communications and ensure a more consistent customer experience.

Streamlined Setup for 3rd Party Messaging
Introducing auto-responses, inactivity timer, and a unified channel setup experience.
Customer Need
Admins faced several challenges when configuring 3rd party channels. Key automation features like inactivity timers and auto-response components were unavailable, requiring manual agent work. The setup process itself was also disjointed with inconsistent UIs (a modal vs. a record page).
Solution / How To Configure
Admins can now configure an inactivity timer to mark sessions inactive and use messaging components for automated replies on 3rd party channels. To further improve workflow, admins can directly navigate to the correct Omni-Channel Flow from the setup page via a new hyperlink.
Use Case
An admin setting up a WhatsApp channel can now set an inactivity timer so agents don't have to manually update the session. They select a pre-built component for auto-responses instead of typing free-form text. They can also save time by clicking a hyperlinked flow name to navigate directly to it.
Impact
This update brings feature parity to 3rd party channels, improves agent efficiency through automation, and reduces administrative overhead with a simpler setup process.

Core as Source of Truth for Enhanced SMS
Streamline SMS number provisioning, activation and management via a self service experience
Customer Need
Today, when provisioning SMS channels, customers need to submit support cases for provisioning, activating and deactivating SMS channels. Furthermore, there is also no way to manage Sandbox to Production (and vice-a-versa) number movement.
Solution / How To Configure
SMS procurement is now supported only on production orgs. Go to setup, procure SMS number via the self service UI, provision and activate a SMS channel and seamlessly migrate the channel to your Sandbox org for testing.

Solution / How To Configure�To streamline customer outreach, an employee can trigger the AI agent by either clicking the "Rebook with Agentforce" action on an appointment or by making a conversational request in the Agentforce panel. The system automatically validates the appointment's eligibility. If it passes, a notification flow sends a pre-configured SMS to the customer to begin the rescheduling conversation.�
Use Case�A dispatcher learns a technician is unavailable for the day. Instead of manually coordinating each appointment, the dispatcher activates agent action from the dispatcher console, to send a notification SMS to the customer to recoordinate

Performance Priming
Improved priming speed, delta sync, and error handling
Customer Need
Many Field Service organizations require thousands of records to be primed for offline use due to frequent work in areas with limited connectivity. Records must be delivered quickly and efficiently, and Field Technicians should not be impeded from completing their work because of priming performance.
Solution
Field Service Mobile offline priming has been enhanced to leverage server-driven logic and automatic delta sync capabilities. This will drastically improve the performance of priming operations, reducing the time required to prime records. An updated data sync screen will display logical groupings of data to be primed and improved error handling.
Use Case
Customers with complex data shapes can prime more data and keep that data up to date, saving technician time in the field.

Customer Need
Currently, the standard priming architecture of the mobile app is run on device. This architecture requires a full update of this data set for each priming event and gives no visibility for admins to see what is being primed. Customers need to understand and configure their standard priming configuration and work with technicians to confirm their data shape.
Solution
In Winter ‘25 release, the Field Service standard dataset has been wrapped into a briefcase that is automatically generated. This change will enable admins to view what is being primed from briefcase builder. There is also a ‘run as user’ capability to see how many records an individual has available offline.

CRM Analytics
Semi Join & Anti Join UX
Enable intuitive, code-free data filtering in the Explorer UI
Customer Need
Analysts and admins often need to filter data based on whether related records exist (or don’t). Until now, this was only possible via SAQL or SQL code. There was no way to do this via clicks in the UI, creating a barrier for non-technical users.
Solution / How To Configure
You can now add semi-joins and anti-joins through the Join Data Source flow in the lens builder. Simply pick your datasets, select the join type (semi or anti), and map up to 5 fields between them. The join is displayed visually and can be edited or removed easily from the panel.
Use Case
A CRMA admin or business user wants to:

Search by API Name
Faster field discovery for advanced users
Customer Need
In complex datasets, many technical users know field API names (e.g., opp_stage) but struggle to locate them through labels like “Stage” in search. CRM Analytics now supports searching by API names across field pickers—making it faster and easier to find the exact field, especially in datasets with overlapping or confusing labels.
Solution / How To Configure
Search for fields, measures, or dimensions using their API names wherever field selection is supported. Where this works:
Just type the API name (e.g., CloseDate) into the search bar, results will now include matches by both label and API name.
Use Case
A dashboard builder knows the API name but not the exact label for a field—they can now directly search and select it during lens or widget creation without toggling views or hunting through metadata.
Impact

Order Management
Cancel All
Users can quickly cancel all items in an order
Customer Need
Customers currently have to cancel orders with up to 100 product lines at a time. For large orders with up to 2000 product lines, this requires 20 different transactions to cancel all the lines, which is a significant challenge that is time consuming and error prone.
Solution / How To Configure
The solution is a new asynchronous flow that allows an agent to cancel all eligible items on an order summary. The user selects an order summary, initiates the "Cancel All" flow, and selects the reason code, and they submits the cancellation. This process will lock the order summary and present a banner notifying the agent that the record is locked until the cancellation process is completed.
Use Case
A user would select a customer's order summary with hundreds of product lines, click the "Cancel All" button, provide a reason for the cancellation, and submit the request, all within a few clicks. The system then processes the cancellation for all eligible items, freeing the agent from having to cancel items in multiple batches
Impact
Reduces service agent's time to service

Reason Code Categorization
Users can select the right reason code quickly and accurately, every time
Customer Need
A streamlined way to manage and select context-specific reason codes, as the current single, long picklist leads to agent inefficiency and inaccurate data. This new capability will directly address a long-standing customer request for a more intuitive and reliable reason code system.
Solution / How To Configure
A user, typically an OM Manager, will perform two key setup steps. First, they categorize reason codes at the entity level by assigning them to flow-specific groups. Second, they configure the flow logic to display only the relevant, pre-filtered reason codes to agents.
Use Case
An OM Manager would assign the reason code "Damaged" to the "Return" and "Exchange" categories. Then, when an agent processes a return, they will only see "Damaged" and other return-specific reasons in the picklist, rather than the full list.
Impact
Improve agent productivity

Data Cloud 1 Enablement
Provide maximum flexibility for sharing data across orgs
Customer Need
Customers need a simplified and efficient way to deploy and manage their Order Management and Omnichannel Inventory data within Data Cloud 1. Their pain points include cumbersome, manual deployment processes and a lack of flexibility in sharing data across different Salesforce orgs, which hinders their ability to gain holistic business insights.
Solution / How To Configure
The solution is configured by using the new file-based datakits for the OMS and OCI bundles, which are pre-shipped on core, eliminating package-based deployment. For the "Return Order Insight" feature, a user selects a dataspace from a new dropdown menu in the existing UI to specify the data for analysis.
Use Case
An administrator setting up a new org would use the file-based datakits to quickly deploy OMS and OCI bundles to Data Cloud 1, and then an analyst could use the modified "Return Order Insight" feature to run a return rate analysis on a specific dataspace containing that new data.
Impact
Streamlined OMS data flow and enhanced insights.
Full OM
OCI App User Permission
New user permissions allow granular access for users
Customer Need
Merchants need the ability to grant “view only” access to support staff and merchandisers to help support shopper interactions/experience. Currently all OCI users have access to all OCI functionality.
Solution / How To Configure
5 new permission sets have been added so that specific access can be given to users.
Use Case
Support staff can view inventory availability and answer customer questions without the ability to edit inventory values.
Impact
Resolves risk taken by some current customers who have knowingly granted support staff unneeded access in order to open up the service use case in the past.

Tax/Product Only Adjustments
Apply tax and pricing changes to an order post-Order Summary creation
Customer Need
A merchant needs the ability to add or remove tax from a product line after an order has been placed. Currently they can only adjust the price of the item and that adjustment also affects the tax.
Solution / How To Configure
Use Case
SI’s or Admin (using the API) can create a custom solution that will allow the removal of tax on items that are supposed to be tax exempt.
Customers can adjust taxes on an order summary when tax goes from estimated to final during fulfillment
Impact
Merchants are able to make adjustment to the tax on an item. This has been a request from SI’s for many releases.

Unreferenced Refunds/Payment Credits
Ability to refund money to a payment instrument not present in original txn
Customer Need
Customers want flexibility for returning money to an end user - sometimes to a payment instrument not used in the original transaction. Currently our customers need to implement expensive customizations in order to achieve this use case
Solution / How To Configure
Return flow api’s and LWC’s have been modified to provide the service agent the choice to return money to the original payment instrument or select “payment credit”. The payment credit can then be used to fund a store credit or gift card (this last step would be custom integration with what merchants credit/gift card provider)
Use Case
Impact
Contribute to operational excellence by providing flexibility in the returns processes, and enhancing customer service experience

Delivery Estimation
Provide reliable and accurate delivery estimations on your storefront
Customer Need
The initial offering of the Delivery Estimation service provided basic capabilities such as configuring static processing time, transit time, and fulfillment location hours. However, customers needed more robust and accurate delivery estimations that factored in real-time inventory, routing rules, precise transit times from carriers, and the ability to configure operations and processing times at the fulfillment location level.
Solution / How To Configure
The delivery estimation service is now a dynamic, intelligent service that is based on real-time inventory levels, chooses the fulfillment location that item(s) are most likely to fulfill from, and includes transit times that are retrieved directly from select carriers (UPS, FedEx, and USPS). Additionally, inputs such as processing times, cut-off times, and operational hours can be set at the location level.
Use Case
When a delivery estimation is provided on the PDP page or checkout, the estimation has now factored in the inventory levels, fulfillment location, carrier transit times, and fulfillment location operation hours/levels to display the most accurate time to the customer.
Impact
The enhanced delivery estimation service now provides a trustworthy and precise estimation, enhancing the shopper experience, boosting conversion and improving overall customer satisfaction.

Partial SKU Search
Connecting buyers to products, regardless of format
Customer Need
Buyers often know only a part of a product's SKU and are frustrated by errors from minor formatting differences. They need a faster, more flexible way to find exact items without hitting a "No Results Found" dead end.
Solution / How To Configure
Navigate to Search > Searchable Attributes. Ensure the attribute containing the SKU or Product Code is marked as searchable fields. User Search→ Additional Settings→ Enable ‘Partial SKU Search’ toggle. Rebuild the search index for the changes to take effect across the webstore.
Use Case
A purchasing agent types a partial code they remember, like "TMX," into the search bar. The correct product, with the full SKU "MDF-TMX-12OZ-000," appears in search results.
Impact
Boosts conversion rates by connecting buyers to products faster and with less friction.
Optimal Experience for Last page Search Results
Enhancing user navigation and reducing friction for large search sets.
Customer Need
When shoppers perform broad searches that return thousands of results, they face frustrating experience. They need a intuitive way to navigate through many pages of products overwhelmed by unhelpful navigation options like a "jump to last page" link.
Solution / How To Configure
Select the Results Component on a search results page and navigate through its properties: Settings --> Results Display --> Result Navigation. From there, you select the “Pagination Only” option to implement the optimized sequential Browse.
Use Case
A shopper searches for a broad category like "snacks" on a large grocery site. As they browse deep into the results , clicking to the next page is nearly instant because the system has already pre-fetched and cached it in the background. The user sees a clear sequence of pages and doesn’t encounter dead results pages.
Impact
Improves the user experience by making navigation faster and smoother for large search sets.
Search Indexing in Store Default Language
Enhancing search relevance for international customers
Customer Need
Businesses serving international markets need to provide relevant search results to all shoppers, regardless of language. They face either the high cost of translating all product data or the risk of delivering a poor, "no results found" experience.
Solution / How To Configure
The product data information will be automatically indexed if its in a localized language. Data Translations should still be enabled so the Japanese analyzer is used in Discovery. If data translation is not enabled, the products may still be searchable with the master record details, but Discovery will be using a standard analyzer.
Use Case
A customer in Japan is shopping on the Japanese webstore, they search for "タンパク質" (protein) the correct protein bar appears in the results.�
Impact
Reduces operational costs for the business by eliminating the need for exhaustive translations.
Subscriptions - ARC APIs Support
API support to perform amendments/renewals for active subscriptions
Customer Need
Subscription users lack flexibility to manage subscriptions: amend quantities, renew early, or cancel on preferred dates. These actions require support intervention, leading to operational inefficiencies, delayed responses, and poor user experience. For merchants admins, especially in Manufacturing, Tech, and Telecom, this limits self-service capabilities and impacts adoption.

Customer Need
Merchants need more flexibility in assigning categories to dynamic pages to control when landing pages are presented. Currently, when assigning dynamic pages to a category in the user interface, selecting the top level category also selects all the sub-categories.
Solution / How To Configure
Merchants can now select any combination of category assignments when creating or editing a dynamic page through the user interface.
Use Case

Solution / How To Configure
The CMS will disable user creation, updates, and deletion in the User Management console when a merchant has configured an external IdP. A banner on the CMS Users page will indicate that users are managed externally. The IdP tenant ID and user role will be passed in the OAuth response during login, directing the user to the correct merchant and role.
Use Case
A retailer's security team can terminate an employee's access simply by removing them in their single IdP, without needing to check for a separate account in the CMS.

Attributing Cross-Store Refunds to the Return Location
Improving Financial Accuracy for Adyen-Enabled Merchants
Customer Need
Merchants using Adyen need to the ability to have refunds for items returned at a different store location be correctly attributed to the store processing the return, rather than the original store of purchase. This is crucial for accurate financial reconciliation and to avoid transaction failures.
Solution / How To Configure
A new toggle, "Attribute cross-store returns to the store where return is processed," has been added to the CMS under Store Management > Store Settings > Payments > Adyen settings. When enabled, the backend will use the merchant code and Adyen store code of the return location for the refund API call.
Use Case

Tariff Engine: Enabling Surcharge Collection
Providing a flexible and scalable solution for merchants to recover tariff-related costs at the order level.
Customer Need
Retailers need a simple, scalable method to apply a universal surcharge for tariff-related costs, as current workarounds lead to inconsistencies and revenue leakage. They require a transparent and consistent way to show this distinct line item to both associates and customers.
Solution / How To Configure
The system introduces a new CMS configuration under "Store Settings > Tariffs" where merchants can define a single, flat tariff percentage. This percentage is automatically applied to the order subtotal before tax, displayed as a separate line item, and handled consistently across sales, returns, and exchanges.
Use Case
A merchant's administrator sets a 5% tariff in the CMS. During a sale, the POS automatically calculates and displays the tariff on the cart summary and receipt without any manual input from the associate.
Impact

Merchants require a more robust tax integration that goes beyond simple location codes to ensure accurate tax calculations. They need to correctly identify and apply fee-based taxes (like PIF) and other sales and use taxes based on the precise geographic location of each transaction to maintain legal compliance and accurate financial reporting.
Solution / How To Configure
The backend is being enhanced to modify all tax API requests to send complete physical and administrative origin and destination addresses, in addition to location codes. The system will also be updated to parse tax engine responses and correctly identify, calculate, and display fee-based taxes. Additionally, the list of supported tax jurisdictions will be updated to ensure accurate determination for every transaction.
Use Case
An online order for a customer located in a specific district with a special fee-based tax is processed. The system will send the full shipping address and all necessary location data to the tax engine.

Item-Level Shipping & Delivery Promotions
Enabling item-level visibility and accuracy for shipping costs and promotions.
Customer Need

Solution / How To Configure
The system will be enhanced to process shipping charges and discounts at the item level. The Shipping API will be updated to include an itemLevelCharges array for each item within a delivery group, containing details on charges and discounts. The POS UI will display this data, including a discountText, for each item.
Use Case
A customer purchases a cart with multiple items, and a shipping promo applies only to one of them. The POS will accurately display the discount only on the eligible item, preventing the over-discounting of the entire delivery group.

Configurable Multi-Tender Display
Enabling granular control over multi-tender options in the UI
Customer Need
Merchants require the flexibility to support specific tender types for backend processes (e.g., Pay-by-Link via deeplink) while preventing them from appearing in the user-facing Multi-Tender screen at the POS.
Solution / How To Configure
The CMS will introduce new functionality to manage the tender display order, including a "Delete" function to remove a tender from the Multi-Tender screen. A backend restructure will decouple tender support from the Multi-Tender display configuration, ensuring tenders remain functional even when hidden from the UI
Use Case
A merchant like Suit Supply can remove "Pay-by-Link" from the Multi-Tender selection list in the CMS. This ensures the tender is still fully functional for exclusive tender scenarios but does not clutter the POS screen for associates.
Impact

Filters are announced using the semantic markup and the title. For people using assistive technology, this may not be enough context. Now authors can add alt text for filters, sharing what the filter does and how it will impact the data.
Solution / How To Configure
This is configured at a worksheet level through the Accessibility menu. You can access that menu through the Worksheet menu, Data Guide, and context overflow menu. Once there, select the filter you want and add up to 2500 characters of alt text. Hit apply to save your content before moving onto the next filter.
Use Case
Authors can provide detailed instructions on how filters impact the visualization(s), what the expected updated data will contain, and more.
Impact
Increased efficiency for people using assistive technology as they will understand more about a filter before deciding to use it.

Seamless Tableau embedded integration
Tableau Cloud
Activity Log API
Retrieve Activity Log data using our new REST API
Customer Need
Tableau Cloud’s Activity Log feature is dependent on an AWS S3 integration, which prevents many customers from being able to use it. New API methods in Tableau Cloud Manager have been extended to provide access to all Tableau Cloud sites within the tenant, creating a unified event log API that also removes the S3 requirement.
Solution / How To Configure
Admins can access Activity Log files by creating a personal access token in TCM, then calling the appropriate TCM API administrative methods to query and retrieve log files at the tenant and site levels.
Use Case
Admins can write scripts and integrations that batch retrieve Activity Log data to replicate it into their own cloud storage, ingest into SIEM systems for monitoring, or extract into a cloud data warehouse system for analytics.
Impact
Increases availability for customers without AWS infrastructure, and custom integrations. Existing S3 integration remains supported.
Tableau Cloud
Near real-time logs and S3 integration only available with Tableau Enterprise or Tableau+ editions.
Tags in Admin Insights
Analyze tags applied to content by users
Customer Need
Tags are often used to help organize and govern content in Tableau Cloud, but admins have lacked visibility into what content has been tagged with which tags. This makes it difficult to analyze content by which tags have been applied, or enforce tag-based governance policies.
Solution / How To Configure
Admins can now access this information in the Site Content data source within the Admin Insights project. “Tags” has been added as a field containing a delimited list describing what tags have been applied to that piece of content. No additional configuration is required.
Use Case
Admins can analyze how many content of what type has a certain tag applied, build custom dashboards to search for tagged content, and apply governance automation based on tagging information.
Impact
Increases visibility into tagged content on a Tableau Cloud site.

Customer Need
Customers building solutions leveraging VizQL Data Service want more complete access to data in their published data sources, and they want tools to help speed up their development.
Solution / How To Configure
VizQL Data Service now exposes more metadata that can be queried from a published data source, such as groups, bins, parameters, table calcs and calculated field definitions. New ad-hoc calculated fields now also support table calcs. Parameters can be overridden, and new ad-hoc bins can be specified in queries. Additionally, we’ve released a Python library that simplifies development in Python.
Use Case
Impact
Developer productivity, customization, and analytic depth
Tableau Cloud, Server
Add Related Tables
Automatically add tables to data models
Customer Need
It is often difficult to figure out which tables to add to a Tableau data model and how to correctly relate them in order to answer desired business questions.
Solution / How To Configure
Users can automatically add related tables to a data model when there are foreign key constraints defined in the database they are using. Tableau will automatically add related tables and define relationships between them.
Use Case
When additional data is needed for an analysis, Tableau can automatically add tables and relationships to the data model that are now available for analysis. For example, when looking at sales by customers, automatically adding in geographical information as well for deeper analysis can be done automatically, without the user needing to find and relate the geography table.
Impact
Data model authoring productivity and accuracy.
Tableau

Available for Tableau Server & additional capabilities
Customer Need
Tableau Server customers will now also have access to this connector and this release introduces the following updates: Re-use curated Tableau Semantics data sources across users and workbooks by publishing. Add groups and bins defined in semantic models to visualizations. Create visualizations using multi-fact semantic models in Tableau. Display images in visualizations without configuration.
Solution / How To Configure
Users can publish data sources using Tableau Semantics models to Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud. Groups and bins defined in semantic models are available in Tableau. Support for shared dimensions defined in semantic models. Image Role fields are automatically configured in Tableau.
Use Case
When refining and extending Tableau data sources using Tableau Semantics models users can re-use the data source across workbooks. Groups and bins allow users to leverage curated business logic. Visualizing measures across multiple fact tables through shared dimensions enable cross-area analysis. Display images from URLs in visualizations.
Impact
Use Tableau Semantics models with Tableau Server. Support for additional semantic definitions in semantic models enable richer analysis seamlessly.
Tableau
Tableau Maps Quick Win: Spatial Polygon buffer
Customer Need
This feature enhances Tableau’s spatial functions and allows customers to perform advanced spatial analysis. The existing Buffer() spatial function now supports a new input: Spatial Polygon (and multi-polygon), in addition to the PolyLines and Points.
Solution / How To Configure
The syntax of writing a Buffer() calc for polygon is very similar to that for a line or point with an even more flexible support: you can use inset, meaning you can also provide a negative value to the buffer value.
Impact
Our customers increasingly reach for geospatial analysis to better understand their customers and their business. This feature enhances Tableau’s spatial parameters capabilities, bringing the complete Tableau analytical experience to geospatial data and provides customers with more control in handling this type of data.

Self-Service Site Rename (API)
Cloud Admins can edit Site Name and URI via REST API
Customer Need
Cloud Admins will now be able to edit Site Names and URIs via REST API, which previously could only be done by contacting customer service. This is a step towards making this functionality fully self-service via the TCM UI.
Solution / How To Configure
Cloud Admins can access this functionality by creating a Personal Access Token in TCM to call the relevant API for these edits.
Use Case
A Cloud Admin would use this when they want to change the name or URI of their site to better represent the purpose of the site.
Impact
This feature allows Cloud Admins to have more manageability and flexibility over their sites.
Tableau Cloud
SAML Configuration REST APIs
Configure SAML and rotate certificates programmatically
Customer Need
Configuring SAML was both manual and unscalable as it had to be done through the UI. It also required ongoing operational work when rotating certificates which could be error prone.�
Solution / How To Configure
Cloud administrators can now use the SAML APIs to create, update, or delete SAML configurations either in Tableau Cloud Manager or a Tableau Cloud site.
Use Case
Cloud administrators can use these APIs to programmatically configure SAML which can especially save time when configuring SAML across multiple sites. Moreover, admins can now create a script to automatically rotate the Identity Provider (IdP) certificate in Tableau Cloud so that they do not miss updating the certificate before it expires.
Impact
Customers can achieve greater efficiency and scalability as there is no manual certificate updates and SAML configuration can be streamlined across multiple sites.
Tableau Cloud
User Attribute Function for SAML and OIDC
Attributes passed over SAML and OIDC login can be used for row level security
Customer Need
While administrators were able to use generic attributes for row level security for Connected Apps based logins, they were not able to for SAML or OIDC based logins which the majority of Tableau Cloud users sign in with.
Solution / How To Configure
Site administrators can now configure user attributes to be dynamically captured during login and create a calculation with an attribute/value key pair for row level security (RLS).
Use Case
The customers’ Identity Provider (IdP) is the source of truth of users and their attributes. As such, administrators can enable attribute based access control (ABAC) through the User Attribute Function (UAF) feature to dynamically pass attributes from the IdP via the SAML or OIDC authentication token. These attribute/value key pairs are available for the duration of a user’s session to be used for RLS. This ensures users can see the right data they should have access to.
Impact
Administrators have more flexibility to secure the data that end users should have access to through the use of dynamic user attributes passed by their identity provider during user login.
Tableau Cloud
SCIM Support on Tableau Server
Automated user and group provisioning on Tableau Server
Customer Need
Modern enterprises need the flexibility to provision users and groups to Tableau using their Identity Provider (IdP) as the source of truth. However, we did not support the industry standard SCIM protocol on Tableau Server.
Solution / How To Configure
Server administrators can now enable SCIM on each of their sites so that users and groups can be provisioned through their identity provider.
Use Case
A customer uses their IdP (e.g. Okta) as the source of truth of the user and groups. They manage all of the user and group lifecycle processes like provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning from the IdP so that they do not need to manually manage the users and groups separately in Tableau or write an API script to automate the lifecycle. SCIM is designed to simply this process for admins.
Impact
Customers gain efficiency and remain standards compliant by using SCIM. They can also maintain a source of truth of users and groups in their IdP to avoid having to manage groups in all of their downstream applications like Tableau Server.
Tableau Server
OpenID Connect RP-initiated single logout
Logout of your IdP when logging out of Tableau Server
Customer Need
When a user logs out of their resource provider (i.e. Tableau Server), Tableau should also log them out of their Identity Provider (IdP) as well to maintain a secure experience for a user across their application(s).
Solution / How To Configure
When configuring OpenID Connect, the admin would be able to optionally configure single logout (SLO). As a Relying Party (RP), Tableau would send a logout request to the Identity Provider (IdP), which would then log the user out of both the IdP and any other associated applications accessed during the same session.
Use Case
A customer uses a central IdP (e.g. Okta) to sign into Tableau Server and other applications. When they sign out of Tableau Server, they would like the user to get logged out of their IdP and associated applications. This maintains a secure experience and prevents the user from having to go to the IdP and dependent applications to sign out as well. This also prevents them from automatically getting logged back into Tableau Server.
Impact
This improves security as this eliminates the risk of orphaned sessions and session hijacking. This also provides a better end user experience since logging out once logs them out of the IdP and associated applications.
Tableau Server
Tableau Cloud Unified Access Token
Centralized API Authentication
Customer Need
Customers need a unified way to automate Tableau Cloud site management. The current authentication method relies on Personal Access Tokens (PATs), which are difficult to manage, lack auto-rotation, and have enforced expirations, creating significant barriers to robust, end-to-end automation.
Solution / How To Configure
An administrator sets up the Unified JWT solution by creating a trust relationship in Tableau Cloud Manager (TCM) that links to their own identity provider. This allows their internal applications to sign a JWT, which Tableau Cloud will then trust for authentication.
Use Case
A large company uses dozens of separate Tableau Cloud sites for different departments. A Tableau Administrator needs to ensure that a specific user group, called "Auditors," exists on every single site with the correct permissions. Performing this task manually across all sites is repetitive and time-consuming.
Impact
Modern, secure authentication method that unifies access across their entire Tableau Cloud environment, solving critical multi-site management challenges for enterprise applications
Tableau Cloud
Tableau Mobile (excluding Pulse)
OAuth Authentication to SnowFlake
Built-in Tableau Mobile
Customer Need
Customers are hesitant to promote Tableau Mobile to their users—primarily managers and executives—due to a cumbersome and fragmented sign-in process. Requiring users to authenticate via browser, connect to the view, complete OAuth authorization, and then return to the Tableau Mobile app significantly disrupts the user experience and creates friction that hinders broader adoption.
Solution / How To Configure
Snowflake authentication directly within the app. This feature will eliminate the need for external browser-based OAuth flows by integrating native Snowflake SSO, allowing managers and executives to access data with fewer steps and reduced friction.
Use Case
By enabling seamless Snowflake authentication within Tableau Mobile, users can authenticate natively without leaving the app. This streamlined experience reduces confusion, improves adoption, and ensures timely access to insights for decision-makers on the go
Impact
Increased mobile adoption, reduced sign-in friction, faster access to insights.
Tableau Agent

Tableau Public
Reactions on Tableau Public
Customer Need
Public is home to our data community which is a collection of authors and viewers. Currently, Public does not offer a way for viewers to interact with content via emoji reactions, which are common in other social and community platforms.
We are introducing a "Reactions" feature on Tableau Public, allowing users to leave simple, emoji-based feedback on visualizations which enables lightweight and meaningful user engagement.
Community/IdeaExchange idea:
Solution
Impact
This feature offers a simple mechanism for viewers to engage with content in a more meaningful way, which elevates their engagement and retention. It also boosts the engagement of the authors and encourages them to create better content.
Public’s Author Channels
Customer Need
Authors are an important part of the Public flywheel as they generate the content consumed by our Viewers. With Public being the heart of the community, there is a need to highlight these authors and make them more prominent. Though the Featured Authored tile aims at accomplishing that, it’s positioning on the Discover page and its limitation to spotlighting only one author at a time makes it impossible for the authors to be felt.
Our initial milestone was adding an Author Preview Card to individual vizzes and this works builds on to that.
Use Case
Impact
We will ensure that the Community aspect of Public shines through to both the existing and guest users. This will drive our engagement and retention metrics, which are captured as part of our V2MOM goals.
Tableau Prep
External Browser Authentication
Log in using a non-chromium browser
Customer Need
Today, prep supports authentication using the chromium browser, packaged as part of the electron app. Chromium becomes outdated, fairly quickly, as Google ships fixes for vulnerabilities and updates every 6 weeks. This creates security issues for enterprise customers and some customer face restrictions from accessing Tableau Prep.
Solution / How To Configure
Users will be able to open the server menu and select to authenticate via external browser.
Use Case
An enterprise customer’s IT department has just blocked use of Tableau Prep on Chromium due to security issues. The user can now opt to log in via external browser to continue using Tableau Prep.

Tableau Connectivity
Authentication Mode Change API
Programmatically change the data authentication mode in published content
Customer Need
Changing the data connection authentication mode (e.g. from username & password to OAuth) in published workbooks and data sources requires manual steps to download the content, edit the data source connection(s), and republish. These manual steps are tedious, and borderline impossible, at scale.
Solution / How To Configure
New and updated REST API methods will allow changing the authentication mode of data connections in published workbooks and data sources (support for Prep flows coming later). API calls can be scripted to enable programmatic solutions.
Use Case
Tableau Server administrators can automate data connection authentication mode changes as part of content promotion workflows (e.g. dev to prod) that commonly require changing data connection credentials from individual user accounts to a service account.
Impact
Reduced server administration overhead.

When disconnecting a promotion, the system automatically validates penalty check based on rules defined in EPC. This penalty check is an optional step and can be bypassed, if not required.
Use Case
A sales representative working in ESM needs to disconnect a promotional offer from a customer's internet plan. They require immediate visibility into the promotion's current status (active/disconnected), along with clear confirmation. The system ensures penalty rules, if any are validated for an efficient and accurate quote configuration while maintaining promotion tracking across all associated quote line items.
Impact
Clear promotion status visibility, enhanced user experience and accuracy
Streamlined Promotion Visibility & Penalty-Check
Enhanced promotion tracking, status clarity, and penalty-check workflow for improved user experience
Real-Time Quote Price Tracking
Instantly track the price difference between the original quote and the revised total after any changes (MACD).
Customer Need
Sales representatives want to see the original price, the specific price change, and the new total simultaneously in real-time, so that they can immediately understand the financial impact of the changes in the quote and clearly explain the adjustments to their customers.
Solution / How To Configure
The feature will automatically be present and active on the ESM quote header for all users.
The price data is shown only during the MACD flows.
Use Case
Sales representatives working on a change quote need to ensure the final proposal fits within their customer’s stated budget. As they modify or swap different hardware and software components, the real-time price change summary on the MACD quote header allows them to instantly see the impact of each decision on the total cost.
Impact
Improved quote management, Accelerated Decision-Making, Greater Budgetary Control

Clone with Defaults
Adds a new, unconfigured copy of a product to the working cart
Customer Need
Sales representatives need an efficient way to add multiple, uniquely configured instances of the same product in the working cart. The standard clone action duplicates an item with all its existing configurations, which is time-consuming to reverse manually. An action to add a fresh, default version of the product would allow them to start a new configuration instantly.
Solution / How To Configure
This functionality is available out-of-the-box. In the working cart, the action menu for a product will display both "Clone" and "Clone with Defaults" options.
Note: This option only appears if the product's cardinality (the maximum allowed quantity) has not been met.
Use Case
A sales representative creating a quote for a customer needs two different mobile phones. After configuring the first phone with 256GB of storage and red colour, he needs another one with 512GB of storage and black colour. Instead of cloning and manually changing all the attributes, he uses "Clone with Defaults" to start with fresh, base-model of the phone which is ready to be configured from the scratch.

Customer Need

Solution / How To Configure
This feature is controlled by a configuration flag within the b2bSampleAppCard settings. To manage the access, set the flag to true which enables the bulk edit access on the summary tab, or set it to false which will disable it for all users.
Use Case
The admin wants to be careful with its customer information and prevent accidental edits by sales representatives. To avoid this risk, he turns OFF the bulk edit feature for all.
Impact

Batch Sub-Order Creation
Configure the system to process sub-orders in batches for a significant performance improvement on complex quotes
Customer Need
The traditional method of creating sub-orders ‘one at a time’ is a slower process that may cause delays to the entire order finalization process typically for complex, high-volume quotes. Users require an efficient, automated solution that can process these sub-orders in bulk so that the large deals can be finalized faster.
Solution / How To Configure
Activate "Enable Batch Creation of Sub-Orders" flag in the CPQ Configuration Setup. This enables the batch processing of all sub-orders asynchronously. Additionally, set the batch size limit “ESMBatchSizeForCreateSubOrders” which determines the number of sub-orders that will be processed together during conversion. The ideal threshold will vary depending on the org’s quote complexity and usage of quote member groups.
Use Case
A Sales representative needs to convert a large, time-sensitive enterprise quote with hundreds of line items into a final order. This feature allows them to complete this action faster as compared to the traditional process, triggering the creation of all necessary sub-orders in efficient background batches.
Impact
Performance Improvement, Improved Business Scalability, Enhanced User Experience & Adoption

Solution / How To Configure
To set the default custom discount fields, find the “customDiscountDefaultName” parameter within the b2bSampleAppCard settings and enter the desired values.
Use Case
A sales representative is creating a "Monsoon Sale" discount and need to apply it on multiple enterprise quotes. Instead of manually typing "Monsoon Sale" and selecting the allocation type as ‘order’ each time, he sets these as the default parameters in the configuration. Now, every time he creates a new custom discount, the name & allocation type is populated, saving him from repetitive data entry.
Impact

Customer Need
ESM users need a more efficient platform experience. They need to instantly locate specific options within complex attribute picklists while working on product configurations. And a modern interface without visual clutter to search for ‘products & promotions’ in the product catalog page.
Solution / How To Configure
Both options are enabled by default, no configuration is required.
Use Case
A sales representative uses the streamlined, icon-driven search bar to quickly find a specific product or promotion. In the working cart, when configuring a picklist attribute, he bypasses scrolling by typing the first few letters. This instantly filters the list, enabling him to select the correct option in seconds.

Simplify CSRD Reporting with enhanced Quantitative Metric Support
Customer Need
Currently, we do not have OOTB support for all quantitative metrics in sections E1, S1, G1 of the CSRD report. This makes it hard for customers to track the metrics for disclosure in a SSOT and can lead to errors during manual entry.
Use Case
Companies need to track their CSRD quantitative metrics in Net Zero Cloud such that they can be extracted automatically upon creation of a disclosure report, thus helping them navigate the complexities of CSRD reporting efficiently and in a timely manner.
Solution
Streamline the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) reporting process by providing out-of-the-box quantitative metrics for ESRS E1, S1, and G1 sections in the CSRD Version 5 report template. Reporting managers can thus comply with CSRD requirements quickly and efficiently by using the enhanced data model and data mappers for these sections.
Impact
Simplify CSRD sustainability reporting and reduce time to compliance by providing support for all quantitative metrics in E1, S1, G1 sections of CSRD.

Agentforce - Reporting �& Data Collection Agents
Customer Need
Agentforce is a strategic bet by Salesforce. Net Zero Cloud has been working on agents that create user value through generation of disclosure responses, uncovering insights quickly and expediting data collection. In 258, we released Reporting Agent to GA and enabled Data Collection agent to be pilot ready.
Use Case
Companies need to publish disclosure reports in compliance with multiple sustainability frameworks that apply to them - this is a cumbersome process that can take several months. They also have multiple locations spread across the globe for which they need to gather data at regular intervals, such as for energy use, which consumes a lot of time and effort. Agents have a strong opportunity to add value in such scenarios.
Solution
The Reporting Agent generates responses to disclosure questions by reasoning on uploaded documents as well as Information Library snippets, while the Data Collection agent helps send reminders and follow-ups via email to data custodians.
Impact
Shipping Reporting Agent to GA enables customers to save time in completing disclosure reports for production data, and pilot usage of Data Collection agent will create opportunity for customer feedback leading to GA in 260.

Breakdown of child’s allocated emissions by Categories
Customer Need
In case of an organization with several child organizations, in AEI, we show an aggregated value of emissions. Several organizations like Deloitte operate as multiple child entities that roll up to a parent. Such orgs want to see a consolidated breakdown view of the category emissions split by child, and how they roll up to the parent’s AEI.
Solution
We created a related entity named Annual Emissions Inventory Extension, that shows the breakdown of allocated emissions from immediate children, in a tabular format similar to AEI.
Use Case
When users want to see a breakdown of the allocated emissions, they can navigate to the related entity and see the breakdown for all GHG categories across Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
Impact
This was a critical ask from Liva Nova (through Deloitte) as a measure to stem attrition. This will contribute to customer retention as well as allow customers to see their allocated emissions in a single entity.

Negative Distance adjustment for Vehicles
(Carbon Accounting Enhancement)
Customer Need
Today, Vehicle Asset Energy Use does not accept negative numbers on the Distance field. Customers need a solution where negative distance is mostly a correction/adjustment, mostly when their drivers correct for keyed in errors of odometer readings made at the fuel stations.
(We support negative numbers in Fuel Consumption field which accurately rolls up to Carbon Footprint (CF) and Annual Emissions Inventory (AEI))
Solution
Post 258, Net Zero Cloud supports negative fleet distance adjustment on the vehicle asset energy use records, and will also calculate negative emissions and roll up accordingly in Carbon Footprint and Annual Emissions Inventory entities.
Use Case
Sustainability managers will be able to correct energy use records that cannot be corrected at source.
Impact
This change will ensure more accurate carbon accounting for Net Zero Cloud customers, and also ensures greater product parity with the fuel consumption field. Also helps with retention for Novo Nordisk.
Custom Fuel support for Private jet and Waste
(Carbon Accounting Enhancement)
Customer Need
Today for vehicle asset energy use records, if the record type is Private Jet, the only fuel type allowed is Jet Fuel. Custom fuels don't work for private jets. Also customers need flexibility to add more UOMs for generated waste; more specifically, they are looking for cubic meters for solid waste and liters for used waste/oil.
Solution
Customers want to use custom fuels for Private jets. They also want to use custom unit of measures for capturing waste disposed.
Use Case
Customers can now create custom fuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or custom waste units such as cubic meters, to capture consumption or in Vehicle asset energy use or waste in Generated waste respt. and calculate emissions for them.
Impact
Companies like Google etc. will be able to load energy uses for private jets that do not use jet fuel but use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). With additional UOMs customer will be able to report their waste generated more easily and accurately.
Scope Allocation on Energy Use
(Carbon Accounting Enhancement)
Customer Need
Today the scope allocation happens at the asset level where all energy uses associated to the asset get the same scope allocation. Customers/partners needed a way to override the scope allocation at the energy use level Eg:: Penske has millions of trucks worldwide which are owned but often leased to customers (Scope 3, cat 13). For the same asset, scope allocation can be different in different situations.
Use Case
Customers want to override scope allocation for stationary, vehicle and waste at the energy use or generated waste level.
Solution
Carbon Scope Allocation field added to stationary asset energy use, vehicle asset energy use and generated waste records so that customers can override the scope allocation.
Impact
Companies will be able to report their stationary and vehicle emissions along with generated waste emissions more accurately by being able to override emissions scope allocation at the energy use level instead of the asset level.
