Minitab Model Ops Software Updates

Minitab provides free software updates that deliver the highest level of performance and quality available.

Minitab Model Ops Features & Enhancements

Backdating Warnings

Minitab Model Ops can only store prediction results during the timeframes for which the current champion model was the deployment champion model. Therefore, when you submit a request for dates when another model was the champion, Model Ops now provides a warning that prediction results for those rows cannot be logged. 

 

Retain User Session Settings

Minitab Model Ops will remember user settings within and between sessions. Each control has a default setting with a new subscription; however, when page settings, filter settings, and sort order are changed by the user, they are retained for each user.

Increased Data Limits

This release increases both the scoring and stability limits to 10,000 data rows per deployment, per day.

 

Baseline Data Uploads

Model Ops now allows users to easily download baseline data from the Model Repository.

 

Software Update Banner

A new software banner announces new features and upgrades. The banner displays upon the opening of a new release and remains until closed.

 

Feature Update: Customizable Time Zone and Start-of-Day for Deployments

User Benefit

Users can now customize the time zone and start-of-day settings for deployments, with all relevant time zones included.  

 

Summary

This update allows users to modify the time zone and when the day starts for each deployment, ensuring that performance reports and daily replays align with the specified time zone. Additionally, Model Ops will automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time based on the user's selected time zone, providing seamless and accurate time-based operations.
