Source Creation Enhancements

We’ve enhanced the user experience for source creation by introducing visualization of data relationships for schemas.
  • Navigate to the Relationship tab for a specific connection, then select a schema from the available schemas to view or edit the relationships for each.
  • Select a schema and view the relationships in read only mode for your data sources in the Entity Details work area for that data source.
  • When you’re working with joins, view available joins and create new joins as needed. Recommended joins and joins you add are visible in the join relationship visualization; from there you can draw new joins according to your specific needs.
  • Visualization is available for multiple connection types. For Postgres connections, Composer provides tables and default database relationship data from the connection.
For more information, see Visualize Schemas and Joins, Source Creation Tab, and Visualize Joins.

​
Export Numeric Fields and Dates

Exporting raw or visual data from visuals created Composer to XLSX format now outputs numeric and date fields in number and date format.

​
Breaking Changes Management

We’ve expanded change management for breaking changes by adding your warning tags to sources or other objects, even if there are no other top level dependencies to that object. See Import or Export Sources.

​
Import Matching Strategy Improvements

When you migrate and import objects into your environment, you can define a matching strategy that uses multiple approaches to reviewing objects to determine how to handle them in conjunction with your selected insertion strategy. Matching strategies are processed in order, proceeding to the next and the next if a strategy fails. If all strategies fail, the object is imported and tagged with your selected tags to help you find affected objects and manage any issues. These attributes are used to define the matching strategy and warning tags to use for import. See Import Dashboards, Import Visual Gallery Visuals, and Import or Export Sources.

​
Improved Line Chart Performance

The data display of line charts in Composer now supports rendering of large data sets more quickly by halting the calculation of values and percentages for data lengths over 130,000. When this threshold is reached, the Display as stacked option is disabled. Work with Support if you need to change the setting of data-threshold from the default of 130,000.
