A new labor matrix experience with a refreshed user interface is being introduced in Q2 2026.
The labor matrix is moving to a dedicated page within the application, and the legacy Labor Matrix tab on the Labor Rules page will be deprecated. Existing labor matrix configurations will be migrated to the new experience, which now includes versioning. This change primarily impacts users who manage labor configurations for forecasting.
