Release announcement: Build 3600

Hello folks! We're happy to announce the release of Analytics Plus version 3600. This release comes with a whole host of new features.

1. Introducing a unified data sources page to manage all your data imports

The Data Sources page enables users to view and manage all data sources within the same reporting database from a single location. You can view details such as data source, table name, last imported time, and next import schedule. A Sync Now option lets you synchronize the data source on an ad-hoc basis.

This page can be accessed by clicking on the Data Sources button in the explorer bar.

2. Enhanced e-mail scheduler for sharing reports and dashboards

An enhanced e-mail scheduler allows users to schedule e-mails containing reports and dashboards on the last day of the month, as opposed to manually choosing the last date of each month.

3. Introducing dynamic threshold for charts

We've upgraded the chart threshold feature to include dynamic values such as sum, average, minimum or maximum.

Users can also choose the scope of the threshold - a single threshold line for the entire chart, or multiple threshold lines for each data point in a chart.

4. Enhanced grid themes for reporting databases

Users can select a common color theme for all tabular views in a reporting database. Tabular views include Pivot and Summary reports.

6. Support for Importing OData feeds

Import data into Analytics Plus using the weblinks of OData feeds. Learn more.

7. Shortened Embed/Permalink URL

The Embed/Permalink URL generated for reports and dashboards has been shortened to facilitate easy sharing of reports and dashboards. Please note that all previously generated URLs will continue to work without any glitch.

8. Enhancements in dashboard themes

The new update lets you customize the font style, size, and color for the dashboard title and description.

9. Support for filled map chart

Color-code countries, cities or regions on a geographical map based on values in the report legend.

10. Introducing support for median and mode functions

You can now represent Median or Mode of numeric fields in your reports.

11. Import data from multiple sheets in an Excel workbook simultaneously

To make it convenient for users to import data from Excel, we've introduced an option to import data from multiple sheets of an Excel workbook at one go. Each of these sheets will be stored as independent tables in your reporting database.
