+title: "New Platforms column on the Companies table in Codat Portal"

+
+We are making it easier to see which systems your companies have connected by adding a dedicated **Platforms** column to the Companies table in the Codat Portal, restoring at-a-glance visibility that customers told us they missed from the previous table.
+
+
+
+## What's new?
+
+On **May 12, 2026**, we are updating the [Codat Portal](https://app.codat.io) so that the Companies table includes a new **Platforms** column, showing the integrations each company has connected without having to click into the row.
+
+
+
+We are introducing the following improvements:
+
+- A new **Platforms** column appears between the **Connection** and **Created** columns on the Companies table, listing each company's connected platforms as colour-coded pills.
+- Pill colours reflect the connection state for each platform: **green** for linked, **amber** for deauthorized, **grey** for unlinked, and **neutral** for pending authorization.
+- When a company has more platforms than fit in the column, a **+N** chip indicates how many additional integrations are connected.
+- Hovering the cell opens a tooltip with the connection status, the full list of platforms with status indicators, and — for parent rows with subsidiaries — an **X/Y companies** counter showing how many subsidiaries are connected.
+- Searching by a platform name in the table search input filters the rows, with matches highlighted in the pills.
+
+This update builds on the [multi-entity company table](/blog/multi-entity-portal-update) shipped earlier this year, and follows the [always-visible search](/blog/always-visible-search) released earlier this month. A column show/hide selector that lets you toggle Platforms (and other columns) on or off per user is coming in a follow-up release.
+
+## Who is this relevant for?
+
+This update benefits all customers who use the Codat Portal to manage their companies, and is especially useful for implementation, support, and customer-facing teams who need to quickly identify which ERP, accounting, or banking systems each company is using.
+
+## How to get started?
+
+No action is required to benefit from this update. Open the **Companies** page in the [Codat Portal](https://app.codat.io) from **May 12, 2026** to see the new Platforms column.
