Build Plans & Run Commissions Faster

Transformation Workbooks

We're excited to introduce Transformation Workbooks, a new workbook type that bridges Data Workbooks and Calculation Workbooks. This dedicated layer for data transformation allows you to:

  • Source from multiple Data Workbooks and Global Attributes
  • Create cleaner and more organized commission plans
  • Combine multiple data sources and perform complex transformations
  • Prepare your final commissionable dataset without cluttering your Data or Calculation Workbooks

By moving data transformation tasks to their proper home, your Calculation Workbooks become streamlined and focused on their core responsibility—calculating payouts. This creates a logical division of responsibilities:

  • Data Workbooks for raw data storage
  • Transformation Workbooks for data preparation
  • Calculation Workbooks for payout calculations

CIQ Connector Enhancements

CaptivateIQ's Connector is a data integration tool designed to automate the previously manual process of uploading data into Hierarchies via CSV files.

With this feature, customers can build an automated flow that takes important employee information, such as reporting hierarchies or employee attributes, and load data directly into CIQ Hierarchies or Global Attribute worksheets. A direct data pipeline makes it easier for customers to handle large number of or frequent changes efficiently.

This automation capability helps scale CaptivateIQ's solution for enterprise-level use cases by eliminating the manual upload process that previously created bottlenecks in the system.

The CIQ Connector capabilities are now generally available to all customers via the centralized Connector Settings section within the Global Attribute worksheets or Hierarchy group worksheets.
