Product updates

Custom accounting data

Netsuite and Quickbooks custom query integrations are now much more self-serve in our new form-based integration! You can now slice and dice your accounting data by things like department, vendor, or class without touching SQL or having to ping your CX rep.

Value charts

A fan-favorite chart here at Runway, value charts are now much more powerful. In addition to the current month, you can now configure these value charts to show values as of Last Close, current or previous periods (months, quarters, years), and custom months.

User invites

You can now invite your own team members into Runway without needing assistance from a crew member or requiring new users to log in before setting proper roles! Head to Settings → Users to invite new folks and change roles.

Authenticate from anywhere

We've expanded our authentication options to include Microsoft and Xero, in addition to Google and Rippling. Now, you can onboard your team or share with investors regardless of their email platform.

Bugs + quick hits

• Count() function now supports non-numeric drivers, meaning you can more easily count things like employees.
• When adding driver tables to pages, we now preserve indenting and ordering from the original models.
• Creating a new driver from the formula editor no longer closes out the formula modal
• Last Sync timestamps in your integrations page now show in your local timezone, so you have a clearer picture of when your data was last updated.

Integration Wins

• Support for wide models is now supported via Google Sheets! What is a wide model, you might ask? Well, probably your existing spreadsheet. If you have a time series with the months across the header row, we’ve now got you covered ✅
• For custom query integrations via Fivetran, you can know reliably see the last time your data has been synced. Hitting “resync” will now also refresh to the source system, so planning across multiple systems is more streamlined 🏊‍♂️
• Our integration power users noted a bug where many query tabs make it impossible to access the latter queries in an integration. This has been resolved - SQL to your hearts content! 🧑‍💻

Database Usability

• Dimensional databases can now be sorted by dimensional and driver columns! If you’re using advanced mapping workflows or pulling together a database from multiple sources, this one’s for you. 🤝
• Users on smaller screens can now more reliably edit formula filters, even if you’re at the very edges of a database. 🧗

For those of you following our migration to backend calculations, we’re now entering early beta.

Improved performance

During the break, we made significant improvements to the app's performance, making it snappier than ever across several areas, including:

• Loading values in Budget vs Actuals and other comparison views
• Loading dimensional pills in driver names
• Editing formulas via the formula modal
• Point-and-click formula building
• Editing plans and hardcoded actuals

…and many other small improvements that result in a more responsive Runway. Of course, we’re still actively working on this and will have more major improvements coming soon.

Query-based integrations

Ever connected a Fivetran integration, only to be met with a blank screen and no idea what to do? We now start you off with a query editor view and a default SQL statement!

Not exactly fluent in SQL? We don’t expect you to be - just reach out to your CX rep, and we’ll draft the query for you.

Export functionality

Exporting full models to a CSV from the model page is now possible. Many customers have requested this functionality to support third-party audits, which is now much easier.

Additionally, exporting databases is coming soon!

Steady database views

Some users had reported seeing a bug where creating new database rows jumped you back to the top of the table. We’ve resolved this so you can get back to planning with less Van Halen vibes.

Integration data in forecasts

Integrations in Runway can now be configured to include data for future months. Previously, all integrations only applied to actual values up until the Last Close. While this approach made sense for accounting data, it was frustrating that revenue forecasts or deal pipelines were not included. But fret no more!

Reordering within databases

In addition to our sort and filter capabilities, you can now re-arrange your database rows with a simple drag-and-drop!

Faster loading times for drivers & comparisons

Driver data and budget vs. actual views are now rendering significantly faster when navigating around Runway. You should see fewer gray loading boxes, because we could all use a little less gray this time of year!

We also polished some workflows in the app, such as:

• Updating departments in Rippling now properly updates data in Runway
• Deleted drivers no longer appear in Runway’s search results, allowing you to find what you need more quickly
