The Waterfall chart is the native language of financial accountability. It communicates cost movement to the business and the board. By bringing this construct into Ternary's Reporting Engine, technology spend is now expressible in the same format applied to headcount variance, real estate cost bridges, and capital allocation reviews.

What you can do with it

• Visualize cumulative billed cost build-up across categories in a single, unambiguous view
• Identify which cost categories are driving the largest incremental spend within any time period 
• Support unified technology P&L reporting with a visualization that maps directly to how cost bridges are presented in financial reviews

How to access it

Open any report in the Ternary Reporting Engine, select Waterfall from the visualization picker. Finance-grade attribution of your technology investment is just a click away.

Custom Labels are only as powerful as the people who can use them confidently. Until now, only admins could see the logic behind a label. This left every other user in the Ternary Reporting Engine to interpret cost categorizations without context or understanding of the logic behind them.

All Custom Labels now carry descriptions available to all users. These descriptions are authored either by the admin who built them or generated directly from the underlying rule logic by AI. When anyone interacts with a Custom Label throughout Ternary, the intent and logic behind that label is visible, in plain language, right where they need it.

The result is that every cost categorization in your technology estate is now self-documenting. Consistent interpretation, across every user, every report, every review.

To add a description, open any Custom Label, enter your description manually or select Generate with AI to derive it from the rule logic automatically. To view the description, hover your mouse over the (i) icon next to the Custom Label name when viewing a filter.

We’ve added support for defining dependencies between Custom Labels.

What’s new

• Label dependencies. When creating or editing a Custom Label, you can now specify relationships to other labels it depends on. You can also view which labels are dependent on it.

Why it matters

• This provides greater visibility and control when working with interconnected labels, helping users better manage dependencies and understand how label logic is structured across their environment.

We’ve introduced a new table view to better represent hierarchical data in reports.

What’s new:

• Hierarchical table view. Group data into a structured hierarchy with expandable rows and subtotals at each level.
• Multi-metric support. View multiple metrics side-by-side within the same roll-up table.

Why it matters:

• The roll-up table provides a clearer way to analyze grouped data, making it easier to understand relationships between parent and child dimensions. This gives users more flexibility in how they explore and present report data.
  
  

We’ve expanded Custom Metrics to support building formulas across aggregated values.

What’s new:

• Aggregate formula builder. Define variables (for example, A, B) and combine them into a final KPI using arithmetic operators in a simple formula editor.

Why it matters:

• This enhancement gives users greater flexibility to define business-specific KPIs, making it easier to express relationships between aggregated metrics directly within Ternary.

We’ve introduced the Notification Center, a centralized place to manage subscriptions across Ternary.

What’s new:

• My Subscriptions. View and manage all active subscriptions in a single table. Filter by type, trigger, or delivery channel, and edit or unsubscribe directly.
• Owned Content. See who is subscribed to reports, dashboards, budgets, and alert rules you own, and manage subscribers without leaving the page.
• Supported subscription types. Reports, Dashboards, Budgets, and Alert Rules are all supported.

Why it matters:

• Previously, subscriptions were managed across individual resource pages with no centralized view. The Subscription Center brings everything into one place, making it easier to manage notifications and understand who is receiving updates.
  
  

We’ve added support for configuring organizational relationship terminology during tenant setup.

What’s new:

• Pre-configured terminology. Solution Architects can now define relationship labels during tenant configuration so customers see purpose-built terminology from day one.

Why it matters:

• This reduces the need for post-deployment customization and streamlines onboarding by ensuring the platform reflects the customer’s organizational structure from the start.
  
  

We’ve added forecast overlay capabilities to the Ternary Reporting Engine.

What’s new:

• Forecast overlays. Reports can now include a forecast data layer that projects trends based on historical data.

Why it matters:

• This allows users to visualize projected trends alongside actuals in a single chart, making it easier to plan ahead and understand potential future spend.

Report table configurations now persist across sessions.

What’s new:

• Saved table preferences. Selections such as Time Series and Show Totals are now saved per report.

Why it matters:

• This ensures a consistent experience when revisiting reports, eliminating the need to reconfigure table settings each time.

  
  

  
  

We’ve improved the configuration experience for value-based Custom Labels.

What’s new

• Updated configuration UI. The new design introduces a clearer step-by-step structure, improved key and value mapping visualization, and more descriptive guidance.

Why it matters:

• This update makes it easier to create and manage value-based labels, reducing friction and improving usability.
