We’re excited to share that during the week of 1 September, the ZDHC Gateway will release an update to the Connections & Connection Requests reports (available to brand, vendor and supplier users). These improvements will make your reports easier to read, more consistent, and enriched with new insights.
🔄 Clearer Column Layout
To make the reports more intuitive:
- In Brand/Vendor ↔ Supplier Connection reports, the brand or vendor details will always appear on the left, and the supplier will always appear on the right.
- In Brand ↔ Vendor Connection reports, the brand details will always be shown on the left and the vendor on the right.
- A new column will indicate who initiated the connection request.
This means that no matter which report you open, you will always see a consistent structure.
🔍 More Insights: ClearStream Performance & CAP Status
These columns will give you a quick overview of ClearStream Performance and Corrective Action Plan availability:
- ClearStream Performance will display:
- Meets requirements – all parameters passed.
- Does not meet requirements – at least one parameter failed.
- Not Analysed – no analysis was done in the latest report.
- (Blank if no latest ClearStream report exists).
- CAP Available will show whether a Corrective Action Plan is required and if it has been uploaded:
- Required / Not Required depending on ClearStream results.
- With CAP / Without CAP depending on uploaded files.
- (Blank if no latest ClearStream report exists).
👉 Explanations will be included directly in the column notes to help you interpret the data.
📦 New Column: Inventory Type
A new Inventory Type column will appear after the InCheck Report ID in Brand and Vendor Connections reports.
- Values will be either Usage or Delivery.
- This field will also be available in the v4 Brand API.
✅ What This Means for You
- Your reports will become easier to navigate thanks to consistent layouts.
- You will have better insights into ClearStream performance and CAP requirements.
- New information like Inventory Type will help you analyse connections more effectively.
📅 These updates will go live in the week of 1 Septmeber.
We hope these changes will make your reporting experience smoother and more valuable!
