This is a much-needed feature. As a partner, we frequently run into the same limitation—cleaning up large datasets in SaaS environments is extremely time-consuming and often unreliable, and sometimes not even feasible. This not only impacts our efficiency but also leads to frustration for customers who expect their systems to remain lean and performant over time. A native, safe way to perform TRUNCATE TABLE operations (with the right safeguards) would be a huge improvement and save a lot of effort for both partners and customers. Fully support this idea!
Agreed. This would make up for missing data and is a common feature of competing carbon platforms. [Missing quarterly utility bills are a particular problem when the billing period straddles the end of a reporting period (eg end of financial year).] Note that other platforms use the whole consumption/billing period (on a utility invoice) - not invoice date - to automatically assign consumption to each month/day. However, in MSM, the filtering for time periods (eg cutting off at 30 June) doesn't appear to work this way and could generate inaccurate reports.
Agreed. Health care providers will want to add their own scope 3 categories such as 'Delivery of Care', Commissioned Services', 'Patient and Visitor travel'. Refer Tennison, Roschnik, et al. (Feb 2021), 'Health care's response to climate change: a carbon footprint assessment of the NHS in England', The Lancet Planetary Health, UK.
