New features available in Pimics

With Pimics we use a similiar aproach as Microsoft does with Business Central. Several functionalities are available under preview mode, so existing customers can enable them. Later, all customers will get the functionality. This helps us onboarding these new functions in customers' systems that use customizations or specific processes in Pimics.
