Adding a table or chart to a space normally means building it by hand: the variables, the dimensions, the timeframe, the comparison. Now you can skip that and just describe what you want. Abacum Intelligence builds the block inline on your real data, and you drag it straight into any space.

✨ What's new

• Generate tables, charts, KPI cards, and input tables from a prompt, or embed an existing dataset version. 
• Open a space and the AI Agent, describe the block you want (e.g., "revenue by location for Jan to Feb 2025 vs prior year"), then review it inline and drag it into the space or click insert. Adjust it from there as you would any block.
• Point it at the right data: type @ in your prompt to reference a specific variable, version, or dimension. The more detail you give (the breakdown, the timeframe, the comparison), the closer the result.

Need a whole space rather than a single block? That's AI Spaces: describe the report you want and Abacum Intelligence builds the entire space in one go. Block generation is the same capability that powers AI Spaces and is available on its own whenever you just need one more thing.

You can now group your spaces into sections and reorder them directly from the space list, so the reports you need are easier to find.

• Create a section, give it a name, then drag spaces into it or use "Move to…".
• Reorder sections and spaces by dragging them.
• Sections are managed by admins and leave your existing sharing untouched: people only see a section if they already have access to a space inside it.

Spaces now work more seamlessly on smartphones and tablets, so you can check the numbers and move a report forward from any device, anywhere. Whether a CFO is reviewing the monthly board pack between meetings or a budget owner is checking budget vs. actuals on the go, the report is always just one tap away.

✨ What's new

• Review anywhere: consume reports, KPIs, charts, and tables from any device.
• Approve on the go: change a status without opening a laptop.
• Built for stakeholders: a consumption-first experience for executives and budget owners.

⚙️ How it works

Open any Space on your smartphone or tablet, and it adapts automatically to your screen size. Navigation collapses into a menu to maximize the view, and you scroll vertically and horizontally to move through your content. No setup required.

One month for the whole space, in one click. The new Actuals until control anchors every table, chart and KPI card in a space to the month you pick. By default, each block resolves to its own switchover date, so a single space can silently show several "current months" at once. Actuals until overrides that behaviour, allowing you to align all to the same month!

What's new:

• Cap actuals across the space: actuals stop at the selected month. Columns beyond it show empty unless the block has an estimate, in which case the version takes over from there.
• Anchor relative timeframes: MTD, QTD, YTD and similar resolve to the selected month, on every block including those with no actuals.
• Let members explore: admins can enable Actuals until for members. Members can then adjust the month for their own session without changing the saved view for others.

How it works:

Open the Filters and Controls panel in any space, add the Actuals until control, pick a month, and click Save for everyone. The space header shows Actuals until [Month Year], and every block anchors to the selected month.

✨ What’s new

• Rank by top or bottom N. Choose any dimension (clients, vendors, cost centers, regions...), set a direction (top or bottom) and a number. The table shows only those rows, ranked by their contribution to each variable.
• Pick exactly which column drives the ranking. Select the specific time period and version column you want the ranking based on.
• Keep totals accurate with the "Other" group. Items outside your Top N are automatically consolidated into a single "Other" row, so the table total always adds up. You can choose to show or hide it.
• Layer with existing filters. Top N works alongside dimension item filters. If a space-level filter is active, Top N ranks within those results, not across all data.

⚙️ How it works

1. Open the table builder and click + Add filters.
2. Select a dimension, then choose "is in top" or "is in bottom" instead of "is".
3. Configure the rank number, the column to rank by, and whether to show the "Other" group. Click Apply.

We've been building on the foundation of Spaces 2.0 with a series of improvements that make writing, navigating, and editing reports faster and more expressive.

✨ What's new

• Richer text blocks. Insert simple tables directly into a text block to display static content inline. You can also add emojis via the toolbar or by typing :keyword. 👉 Learn how to use tables in text blocks
• Paste images straight from your clipboard into a Space with Cmd/Ctrl + V.
• Mentions and tasks are easier to find. The / command and formatting toolbar now surface mentions and tasks directly. The mention menu has also been reorganized by category (people, variables, resources) and supports fuzzy search, so approximate spelling works.
• Charts and tables in the navigation index. Titled chart and table blocks now appear in the "Navigate to" panel. No need to add a duplicate heading just to make a block navigable.
• Select multiple blocks at once. Hold and drag to select multiple blocks, then delete, or reorder them in one action.

Spaces continues to evolve — more improvements are on the way!

You can now generate AI-powered narrative analysis from a table or chart and embed it directly in your space. Set up the analysis once, then regenerate it with one click every time your data refreshes.

✨ What's new

• Four analysis types. Contribution analysis, Variance analysis, Bridge narrative, and Headliners. Each designed for a specific reporting need.
• Embedded in your space. The analysis block lives right next to the table or chart it references. Your stakeholders see the numbers and the narrative together.
• One-click regeneration. When your data updates, click Regenerate to re-run the same analysis against the latest numbers. The prompt is stored so the output stays consistent.
• Custom prompts. Adjust the prompt to focus on a specific dimension, time period, or audience. Open the wizard anytime to refine it.
• Multiple blocks per table. Add a Headliners block and a Variance analysis block side by side on the same table.

⚙️ How it works

1. Navigate to a table or chart in your space
2. Click Create AI insights block on the toolbar
3. Select an analysis type and optionally adjust the prompt
4. Review the output and click Add to space
5. Next month, click Generate again to update with fresh data

We've added a new chart type to Abacum: the Donut! See exactly how your spend breaks down, and what it adds up to, in a single view. It displays each category as a proportional slice, with the aggregated total front and center.

Use it to break down OPEX by department, headcount by team, or revenue by business unit — and always know the total you're working from without leaving the chart. Find it in the Visualization tab of the Table Builder, under the Pie chart options.

You can now generate AI-powered analysis directly from the spaces and tables you're working in. Click "Ask AI" to open a conversation with the AI Agent, already loaded with the context of what you're looking at.

✨ What’s new?

• AI analysis for every user. Members, Admins, and Super Admins can all use Ask AI on any space or table shared with them. The AI respects your exact permissions.
• Space-level insights. Get executive summaries, performance checks, and trend analysis across everything visible on a space.
• Table-level deep dives. Run variance analysis, contribution breakdowns, and outlier detection on a specific table, with full dimensional detail.
• Free-form questions. Go beyond presets and ask follow-up questions in plain language. The AI keeps the conversation context.
• Inject to space. Found an insight worth keeping? Embed it directly into your space with one click.

⚙️ How it works

1. Navigate to a space or table
2. Click Ask AI
3. Pick a preset or type your own question
4. Review the output and optionally inject it into your space

KPI cards now support two comparisons at once, so you can track Actuals against Budget and Last Period on a single card, without duplication.

✨ What's new

• Add up to two comparisons per KPI card
• Each comparison displays with its own label and variance badge — no ambiguity about which delta belongs to which version

⚙️ How it works

1. Open the KPI card settings and go to the Setup tab
2. Click + Add comparison and select a version (and scenario, if applicable)
3. Variance format (% or absolute) applies across both comparisons — set it once for the card
