Improved Hierarchical Filter Management

We’ve improved your experience and expanded the capabilities of hierarchical filters, making data sets of all sizes more easily navigable.
  • Use the expand and collapse icons to more readily find parent and child nodes.
  • Select and deselect items and nodes easily.
  • The new Expand All option allows you to expand and collapse the entire data set quickly to make or review changes.

Updated Data Connector Support

Several new data connectors are available or have been updated to allow your users to connect to a wider range of sources.
  • Amazon Simple Storage Service Connector (S3) now supports the S3A protocol.
  • You can now add the IBM DB2 Connector in your Composer environment.
  • We have added support for the Business Central Connector.

Table Visual Updates

Define the columns you want to include in a table visual when you create the visual. After you’ve selected your source and the table visual type, select to include one or more columns quickly and easily. Select Create Visual to generate your visual. If you select no columns, all columns are included by default. See Tables.

Export Dates in ISO 8601 Format

You now have the option to export and share dates as an ISO 8601 date in XLSX format. This preserves any formatting you’ve applied to your data while allowing Excel users to recognize and manipulate the exported dates as dates in Excel. See Export Raw Data in CSV or XLSX Format and Schedule a Dashboard Report.

Scheduled Reports Frequency

A new frequency option for sending scheduled dashboard reports, Days, allows you to schedule a report for generation and sharing on more than one day a week with a few simple selections. Create a new schedule or edit an existing schedule to meet your needs. See Schedule a Dashboard Report.
