The pace of AI innovation is accelerating, with new advancements emerging almost daily — and it can be challenging to identify which ones truly make a difference. At Decisions, we’re focused on ensuring innovation serves a clear purpose. Every enhancement we deliver is built to create real value, equipping you with tools that keep your mission-critical processes running efficiently and effectively. 

Each Decisions release is designed to help you move faster, collaborate more easily, and automate with confidence. Version 9.16 takes that mission even further, introducing updates that make building and iterating inside the platform more intuitive than ever. From AI-powered creation tools to modern design enhancements, this release brings greater flexibility, intelligence, and collaboration to every part of your workflow. 

AI Generation: Build Smarter, Faster 

With v9.16, AI becomes a true design partner. Users can now generate designer items directly through an AI-powered chat experience, helping jump-start builds or explore new ideas in seconds. Supported designer types include: 

  • Formula Designer 
  • Form Designer 
  • Statement Rule Designer 
  • Truth Table Designer 
  • Data Type Designer 
  • Input Data Designer 

Whether you’re defining a new data model or designing a form layout, AI Generation accelerates setup, reduces manual configuration, and gives you more time to focus on creativity and refinement.  

AI Iteration: Continuous Co-Creation 

Design doesn’t stop at creation—so why should AI? 
 
With AI Iteration, users can ask the platform to adjust or evolve existing designer items through a natural chat interface. Available in the Form Designer and Data Type Designer, this feature streamlines editing, optimization, and experimentation — all without starting from scratch. 

By combining speed and adaptability, AI Iteration helps teams refine designs faster and more intuitively, keeping development cycles moving forward with less effort. 

View Modes: Clarity and Collaboration Without Disruption 

The new View Modes introduce read-only access across key designers, including the Form & Page Designer, Data Structure, and Formula Designer. 

These modes allow reviewers, business users, and other stakeholders to safely explore items without risking unintended changes to active work. 

With clean, non-editable interfaces, teams can: 

  • Review and understand designs in real time 
  • Provide faster feedback and approvals 
  • Strengthen alignment between business and technical contributors 

This added visibility streamlines review cycles and makes collaboration smoother at every stage of development. 

Drawer Control: A Modern, Streamlined Page Experience 

The new Drawer Control brings a modern touch to pages by introducing a sleek, dynamic side panel that replaces traditional pop-up sub-dialogs. 

Instead of interrupting the main view, Drawers let users access supporting content, complete secondary tasks, or review data while keeping their primary context visible. 

The result is fewer disruptions, less “dialog fatigue,” and a more intuitive user experience—ideal for data-entry and workflow-driven applications where focus matters most. 

Drag-and-Drop Rows: More Flexible Data Interaction 

Advanced data grids now support drag-and-drop row reordering, giving users the ability to manually organize information based on priority, workflow, or preference. 

Whether you’re reordering tasks, refining review sequences, or reshaping data for presentation, this feature makes working with data more flexible, visual, and personal than ever before.  

Building the Future of Intelligent Automation 

With v9.16, Decisions continues to enhance both the power and usability of the platform — bridging the gap between business vision and technical execution. 

From AI-assisted design to smarter collaboration tools, every update reflects our commitment to making automation more adaptive, intelligent, and seamless for your teams.
