⚡ One line per item. Less to fill, less to scroll

⚡ One line per item. Less to fill, less to scroll

The easier a space is to fill, the sooner the numbers come back to you. A vendor contract needs its active months and its cost. Until now, each of those variables took a row of its own: the same vendor repeated down the table, and the number you wanted to change buried among rows that all looked alike.

One click in the input table's setup turns on Pivot variables, and the table turns around. Items become the rows, variables become the columns. Your contributors choose the vendor once and fill in its dates, its cost, and anything else across that single line, then read the whole thing back in one go.

🕵️ Track who changed a manual input, what changed, and when

You can now ask the Abacum Intelligence Agent for the full history of changes to your manual inputs: who changed a value, when, what it was before and after, and more.

  • Ask in plain language. For example, "List all the changes made in 'Inputs budget 2027' input table in the last 30 days", then follow up to narrow the results by person ("only the ones from Daniel"), variable ("only OPEX"), dimension item ("only the Product department"), and more.
  • Go straight to the source of a change. Instead of comparing versions by hand or asking around, have the Agent trace a specific movement back to the exact edit behind it, for example "Did someone change the Claude vendor expense in the Budget 2027 version?".
  • Everyone sees what they should. Super admins can access all changes, while admins and members can access their own.

🧩 Plan for new cost allocations directly in the Input Table

You can now duplicate any existing row and adapt it to plan for what's coming, without needing to know the full dimension structure from scratch.

What's new:

  • Start from a row you trust. Duplicate any existing row and use it as your starting point. Dimension items copy over, values don't.
  • Modify until it's yours. Update the dimension items to reflect the new cost allocation you're planning for. The table validates as you go.
  • Hidden columns handled for you. Even if some dimension columns aren't visible in your view, they're copied correctly, no guesswork required.

How to get started:

  1. Right-click any row in the Input Table
  2. Select Duplicate Row
  3. Edit the dimension items in the new row to reflect what you're planning for
  4. Enter your values and save

⚡ Auto-Generate Budget Templates Ready for Input

Your Input Table becomes a planning template, even for brand new budget lines.

✨ What's New

Before: If a variable had no actuals or manual inputs for budget or forecast versions, your Input Table would render empty, forcing you to manually add each row one by one.

After: Now, you can configure the Input Table to automatically display all valid dimension combinations as rows, ready for input.

How It Works:

  • Open the Input Table builder and go to Preferences
  • Set Rows From to "Dimension Combinations"
  • The table will display all valid rows based on your existing dimension structure (e.g., all Department × Vendors)
  • Budget owners can now start entering values immediately, no manual row creation needed

Try it: Activate this setting in the Input Table Preferences for any planning variable that doesn't have historical data yet.

🚀 Input Tables just got faster and smarter for planning

We’re improving the new Input Tables block to make it even more powerful and flexible.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Use formulas that reference other cells: Reduce manual typing, avoid mistakes, and create more dynamic plans by building calculations based on values already in the table.
  • Filter your Input Table: Navigate large tables faster and more efficiently by focusing on the data that matters. Apply filters directly within the Input Table in your Space using its dimension items.
  • Edit dimension items: Adjust how values are allocated by editing the dimension items directly in the Input Table.

Want to dive deeper?
Check out the full guides and videos in our Academy:

  • Formulas in Quick Calculations
  • Input Table Filters
  • Edit Dimension Items

With these updates, Input Tables keep getting smarter, helping finance teams and budget owners save time, reduce mistakes, and enjoy a more intuitive planning workflow.

🚀 New Input Table Block: Edit planning inputs directly in Spaces

The Input Table is a new planning block that lets you manage manual inputs directly inside Spaces, making updates faster, more intuitive, and far more flexible.

Here’s what you can do with it:

  • Edit inputs without leaving the Space: No more pop-up panels. Update values inline while keeping actuals and other versions visible for clearer planning.
  • Control timeframes for each version: Set them as fixed or allow them to update automatically as new actuals come in.
  • Adjust and save multiple variables at once: Update all inputs in a single table, with performance improvements that make large edits faster and smoother.
  • ➕ Improvements you’ve been waiting for: Hide irrelevant columns, show/hide rows that already have actuals, manage all input types in one place, and more.

How to get started:

  1. Go to your Space
  2. Type / to open the Space blocks menu
  3. Select Input Table to start adding and editing your inputs

Want to dive deeper? Check out the full guide in our Academy.

With this release (and more improvements coming soon), Spaces now support a more complete, flexible planning workflow for both finance teams and budget owners.

Add input to multiple variables at once

What’s new?

With this iteration, you can add manual inputs to multiple variables in one go, in a side-by-side view.

Why does it matter?

Currently, if you want to add a new employee with their start/end date, salary, and bonus, you have to add each one separately. This takes a lot of time and you have to fill out the same information for each one. With this release, you'll be able to link these variables and fill in the information at once.

How does it work? 

In the new pinned column on the right side of the manual input panel, you can now link a variable to one or multiple other variables by clicking on the link icon. This change will make it easier for you to see these variables next to each other both in the module and in Spaces.

Refresh behavior after manual input

Say goodbye to full table and chart reloads when updating assumptions! 🔋

Our data input process just became a lot more efficient and user-friendly.

Previously, when inputting assumptions all tables and charts did a complete reload. This often to led to losing track of what you were looking at and what effect the changes had.

Now, when you input and save a value we just update the specific cells that are affected. As a bonus, we also highlight where the changes took place. 👔

This should help you:

1. Have an enjoyable experience for you and your colleagues
2. Avoid tables and charts jumping around on your screen
3. Easily identify & understand the effect of your change
