Update to InterActive Reports -- Now Live

We are excited to announce that the update to InterActive reports is now live. Tabular reports will display data chronologically from left-to-right by default, with the most recent data on the right to match the format of the charts. As mentioned in the last announcement, previously, users were able to update the sorting order of the table. With the InterActive Report enhancement, the sorting order of the table will no longer be able to be changed via the toggle button. Additionally, the left-to-right data will be reflected in saved reports, CSVs, as well as subscriptions.

This is a result of your selected savings criteria in the ParkMyCloud platform.  We have even simplified steps for setup and configuration.

Update to EC2 Convertible RI Exchanger

We are happy to introduce date picker functionality for the EC2 Convertible RI Exchanger. This addition to the Exchanger enables our customers to still have the convenience of selecting a preset time period or select a custom date range up to 30 days. This allows you to get more granular with your evaluation period if there have been changes to your environment, if you’re interested in evaluating since the last time you made exchanges, or other scenarios that require custom time ranges.
