User Interface Simplification and Updates

We’ve added a number of user interface updates to simplify the use of Composer for you. These include changes to the interface to allow you to engage with your environment more easily, improved navigation with accessibility updates, and more. When you use the UI menu to select an option in Composer, your cursor focus shifts to the section or component you selected and the menu is closed.

Data Zoom Scroll Options for Visuals

You can now enable scroll options for visuals that previously did not include axis or zoom options. Depending on the visual type, the Data Zoom options may include horizontal, vertical, or both scroll options. This includes:
  • Line Trend: Attribute Value Charts and Multiple Metric Charts
  • Bar Charts
  • Box Plot
  • Combo Chart
  • Donut
  • Floating Bubbles
  • Heat Map
  • Pie
  • Waterfall
Enable or disable as needed in the Data Zoom section of the Settings sidebar menu. Changes to the ruler used in a visual will reset the scroll settings, and the minimum and maximums are not saved.

OData Enhancements

We’ve added support for the cast function in OData API filters. You can now cast numeric fields (integers, longs, doubles, decimals) to strings in filter queries, enabling string-based operations such as eq, startswith, and contains.

Dashboard Authors

Tenant administrators can now select and change the author for a dashboard in the Dashboard Library. The new author must have appropriate permissions for the dashboard to be able to access the dashboard.
