The metric selector has been revamped to deliver noticeably faster, more responsive interactions — updating a single metric now only affects that item instead of refreshing the entire list. Improvement will be especially noticeable on Windows users, where slowness was more noticeable.
Customers will see reduced UI lag on large metric lists and a smoother, snappier experience when browsing and updating metrics.

Data Scope in Merchandise Plan

We’re excited to introduce Data Scope, a powerful new way to control data visibility across Toolio!
What is Data Scope?
Data Scope defines which subset of your product hierarchy (Eg.,
Division → Department → Class
) a user can access.
It ensures users only see and work with data that’s relevant to their role — improving both
security
and
efficiency
.
Key Highlights
  • Granular Access Control – Define visibility by Division, Department, or Class (up to Level 3).
  • Hierarchical Filters – Departments must belong to a selected Division, ensuring consistent hierarchy access.
  • Flexible Assignment – Apply Data Scope at the
    Role
    or
    User
    level:
  • Role-Level Scope:
    Default for all users with that role.
  • User-Level Scope:
    Overrides the role’s scope when defined.
  • Admin Management – Only Admins can create, edit, and assign scopes under
    Organization Settings → Data Scope
    .

Available Now in MFP
Data Scope is currently supported in the Merchandise Planning (MFP) module. All MFP actions —
reconcile, seed, merge, etc.
— automatically respect the user’s defined Data Scope. Support for other modules is coming soon.
Migration Details
During rollout, all roles start with an “
All
” Data Scope (full access).
Admins can then:
  • Restrict role-based scopes, or
  • Assign specific user-level scopes as needed.
Example Scenarios
  • Planner Role: Planner Permissions + Data Scope = Women
  • Allocator Role: Allocator Permissions + Data Scope = Men > Clothing > Bottoms

The promotional causal indicator provides planners with a clear, visual way to understand when promotional causals are applied across weekly, monthly, quarterly planning grids. When promotions are active, subtle icons appear directly in the grid headers, allowing users to quickly identify impacted periods at a glance. Hovering over an indicator reveals interactive tooltips that surface key metrics—such as lift and discount percentages, application rule and type—supporting faster, more informed decision-making. Just note that when hovering, try to hover from the left hand side rather than right as on the right you also have cell width controllers.

Planners can also click into any indicator to access full promotion details for deeper review or adjustments, and when multiple promotions overlap in the same week, the system displays layered indicators to ensure complete visibility into all active drivers.

Partial Week Promotion Definition

We’ve enhanced how Promotional Causals can be defined!
Previously, promotions could only be set at the weekly level. With this update, you can now choose “Use Specific Dates” to define promotions using exact start and end dates on the calendar.
What’s New
  • When a promotion only partially covers a week, you’ll now see this reflected in the week label. For example:
    W43 (4d)
    → indicating that the promotion runs for 4 days in Week 43.
  • Both Allocation and Assortment modules will automatically handle these partial weeks.
  • The discount and lift values for the promotional causal will be proportionally applied to the corresponding week.

This enhancement provides more flexibility in defining promotions that don’t fit neatly into full-week periods — making your forecasting and planning even more accurate.

We’ve refreshed the Presentation Profile to make product presentations easier to read and more flexible for merchandisers. The update lets you control how presentation columns are organized, improves readability, and preserves your preferred view so you can work faster and with less setup.
  • Flexible layouts:
    Choose how presentation columns are grouped — either by Size (each size shows its Min/Max) or by Min/Max (top-level Min and Max with sizes beneath) to match your planning workflow.
  • Saved preferences & better readability:
    Your layout choice is remembered across sessions, and columns now auto-adjust for a cleaner, easier-to-scan presentation; the profile title is also shown in the view.

Pause Long-Running Reports to Refine Filters and Timelines

Previously, you had to wait for a report to fully finish calculating before making any changes. Now, you can stop the generation at any point and immediately adjust filters or timelines. This lets you quickly narrow your view and get to the insights you need—without waiting for the full report to load.
This is available on Merchandise Plan and Assortment Plan, and will soon be added to Allocation.

You can now view the full set of Assortment Filters directly within the
Assortment Summary
page.
Previously, it was difficult to understand what criteria defined an assortment beyond its name. With this update, you can display all applied filters—called
Dataset Filters
—right on the Assortment Summary. This makes it easy to quickly understand exactly what’s included (and excluded) in any assortment without digging into the details.

Improved Location List Management

We’ve rolled out several enhancements to make managing your Location Lists faster, clearer, and more flexible:
  • Add Attributes on the Fly:
    Easily add any Location attributes.
  • See Your Selection Count at a Glance:
    A new dynamic counter shows exactly how many Locations you’ve selected.
  • Sort by Selected Locations:
    Bring selected Locations to the top instantly, so reviewing or adjusting lists is easier than ever.
  • Enhanced Quick Filters:
    Quickly filter Locations by store name or any attribute (like region) to zero in on what you need.

We’re rolling out an update to New Assortment Plan this upcoming Tuesday Nov 18 at 3 am EST that improves how receipt metrics are calculated. This change ensures that Assortment Plan aligns with Merchandise Plan, making it easier to reconcile the two.
What’s Changing:
Receipt Units Plan will now represent your total receipt plan for the given time frame — a fixed number that no longer changes when you create/approve RPOs, or issue Purchase Orders. Additional Receipts Units Plan (detailed below) represents the incremental Receipt need which the system recommends you chase into.
3 new metrics are being introduced as a result:
  • Open to Buy Units Plan
    : how much you still need to purchase via issuing Purchase Orders
  • Additional Receipt Units Plan
    : how much you still need to commit/approve via Recommended Purchase Orders. This is what the Receipts Metrics in New AP used to represent up until now.
  • Approved RPO Units Plan
    : how much you've approved via RPOs - this has always been taken into account via On Order Units plan, but now we are increasing the visibility.
These changes mean your receipt totals in Assortment Plan and Merchandise Plan will now match, and your reconciliation process will be clearer and more consistent.
Why We Made This Change
Previously, receipt metrics in Assortment Plan changed dynamically as RPOs were created or approved, which made comparisons to Merchandise Plan tricky. With this update, receipt-related metrics are now fixed and easier to interpret — helping you track progress toward your buying goals without fluctuating values.

This update will be applied automatically on Tuesday, and no action is needed on your part.
