ITAS Services Release 8.28.1
Expected Release Date: 8th December 2025
Overview
This release introduces several exciting new features and enhancements designed to improve user productivity, provide deeper insights, and streamline workflows within the Data Portal. With the introduction of the Ask ITAS chatbot, new accounting reports and enhancements to user dashboards and document previews, this release continues to build on our commitment to delivering a user-friendly, insightful, and efficient Data Portal experience.
New Features
Ask ITAS Chatbot - Phase 1
The new chatbot feature will be built directly into the Data Portal application and is designed to help users quickly find answers, complete routine tasks, and get support without needing to raise support tickets or search through the online help.
Key Capabilities:
-
Contextual Help & Guidance
Users can type natural language questions (e.g., “How do I subscribe to an Alert?” or “Show me how to add remove a column from a data view”), and the chatbot will provide step-by-step guidance or direct them to the correct feature. -
Learning & Tips
The chatbot will proactively share quick tips, new feature highlights, and best-practice suggestions tailored to the user’s role.
Later phases of the ITAS Chabot will build on this functionality to eventually include the following capabilities:
-
Data Navigation & Shortcuts
Instead of navigating multiple menus, users can ask the chatbot to take them directly to a specific report, dashboard, or app within the Portal. Example: “Open the CRA app” or “Take me to the Stock Levels Data View.” -
Smart Search Across Data Views
Users can search for data points using plain language, e.g. “Find all trades expiring this week” or “Show open contracts for customer X.” The chatbot will apply filters and return the requested results.
Accounting Reports
Finance teams can now access key accounting reports directly in Hivedome’s Data Portal:
- Credit Control – monitor outstanding debts Profit & Loss
- (P&L) – track revenues, costs, and profitability
- Balance Sheet – view assets, liabilities, and equity
- Aging – see overdue invoices and outstanding balances by time period.
These reports provide a clear, up-to-date view of your financial performance and position, helping you make faster, more informed decisions.
Enhancements
User Dashboard
User dashboards have been updated with several enhancements:
- Links: Additional space has been added to display links, which can now be viewed either as a list or as tiles.
- History: A new section shows users the Data Views or entities they have previously accessed.
- Alerts: Messages are now displayed in real-time as they are delivered.
- News: The News section highlights the latest features and updates from the Data Portal.
These improvements make dashboards more intuitive, informative, and easier to navigate.

- Improved Document Preview
Overall, this release represents another significant step forward in the evolution of the Data Portal, delivering smarter tools, greater automation, and more connected insights. By combining usability improvements with powerful new features, it continues to build on our goal of providing a unified, intuitive platform that supports users across every stage of their data and business processes.
