Data Management - input parameters, data access control (planned Wave 19, September)

Refresh remote tables

Spaces - open spaces for API support, to create a space, assign users, using API's; planned later this month

Data modelling Q4: dimensions with measures, compound key, change management - and save as functionality

Space tile redesign

Data interaction - intelligence lookup

Q1/2022 - currency conversion - load non SAP currency conversion

Reuse S/4HANA Cloud conversion tables

Vision: space as service -assign or sell space to a customer
