19.16.0 Cloud Release Highlights
Reporting - Linked user to resource
You can now report on the user associated with a resource object. This makes it easier to verify that every person resource is linked, to confirm it’s the correct user, or to check whether the linked user is active or disabled so the person can be replaced if needed.
New reporting properties (
not available as filter):linkedUserToResource(.user, .enabled, .id)
Reporting - IQL query properties update
The IQL Query Properties page has been refreshed to include all properties and their values that have been added in recent releases. This ensures the documentation is now fully up to date, making it easier for users to discover and use the complete set of available IQL properties in their reports.

VSM / Simulation – Value Stream Map shape support
Previously, all Value Stream Map (VSM) shapes were treated as artifacts, which prevented simulation properties from being entered. With this update, the VSM shape library has been enhanced so these shapes allow simulation properties to be applied.
The following VSM shapes now support simulation: Process, Facility, Information, Control, Warehouse, Cross-dock, Supermarket, Buffer, Safety, Kanban, FIFO, Load leveling, Sun
This improvement makes VSM diagrams more powerful by enabling realistic simulation of process flows alongside your modeling.
Simulation – Resource Constraints
Simulation models now support expression-based constraints when acquiring resources. On the Required Resources page, a new Constraint column allows you to specify conditions that must be true before a resource can be assigned.
Examples of supported usages include:
Allowing a resource only if its skill level is ≥ to a required threshold
Acquiring a resource only if a case is expedited
Restricting access based on variable values set during the simulation
This enhancement gives modelers much greater flexibility to capture real-world resource rules and conditions in their simulations, ensuring that resource allocation reflects the complexities of actual processes.

Simulation - Trace Mode Speed Button (and Slider)
The simulation speed control slider has been moved to be accessible by clicking the ‘Speed’ button while in Trace mode. This makes the toolbar more compact, leaving more room for other information during Tracing simulation progress.
