CaptivateIQ Incentives

Hierarchies Updates 

You can now create hierarchy-derived worksheets from any hierarchy group in a Commission Plan, with the option to include managers as self-referential records. Plus, hierarchy groups can now be used as data sources in Transformation Workbooks, enabling smarter joins, inferred relationships, and more flexible reporting. These updates make it easier to model compensation and reporting structures that reflect how your organization really works.

This unlocks new ways to connect hierarchy data with other datasets and enables richer reporting and modeling.

Enterprise Upgrades for Sandbox Management

Enterprise customers know the importance of robust sandbox environments—especially when testing major changes before deployment. CaptivateIQ's upgraded sandbox management delivers just that, offering exportable CSV summaries of environment changes, single worksheet syncing, and the ability to sync updates across multiple environments. These tools allow admins and analysts to maintain compliance and control, simplify the deployment process, and ensure that multiple teams can work confidently in a secure, isolated setting. The single worksheet sync also syncs any dependencies associated with that worksheet.
