Release announcement: Version 3200

Hello there! We're happy to announce the release of Analytics Plus Version 3200. This release comes power-packed with a host of features like revamped homepage, support for Google cloud SQL DBs, faster integrations and more to make your analytics and reporting tasks simpler. 

 

Follow instructions on this page to upgrade to this version. 

 

Check out the feature highlights below.

1. Homepage gets a facelift. The new homepage layout sports all the import options in a single view. 



2. Support for Google cloud SQL and Heroku PostgreSQL databases. If your ITSM data is stored in cloud SQL or PostgreSQL databases, the new update offers seamless data import into Analytics Plus for faster analysis and reporting.

3. Enhancements in OpManager and Applications Manager integrations. The new update offers nifty enhancements in OpManager and Applications Manager integrations that let you import data from these apps faster. 

4. Drill deeper into details. While you’ve always had the option to drill down into data from charts and reports, the new update lets you take a deeper look into details – you can now view underlying data from charts/reports created by linking tables using lookup feature. You can either opt to view individual tables or glance at data from linked tables. 



5. Edit option for reports in  explorer Need to edit a report? Don’t open it! The new update lets you launch reports and dashboards directly in ‘edit mode’.  You can do this from the explorer and save a few clicks. 



6. Enhanced chart chooser dialog box. With the latest version, you can toggle between different chart types using the upgraded chart chooser dialog box.



7. New chart color options. Experience vibrant visualizations for data with new chart color options. You can choose from any of the custom color palettes, or opt between monochrome, solid or gradient colors.



8. Introducing packed bubble chart.  We’ve added another chart type to our list – the packed bubble chart. It is composed of a cluster of tightly packed bubbles of different colors and sizes, wherein the colors refer to the category and the size refers to the dimension of the data. 



9. Renamed functions. We’ve renamed the Custom Formula option to Formula Column, as well as a few key column functions such as - month() to MonthName(), and quarter() to QuarterName().

10. Additional Query table functions.  We’ve extended support to a few more SQL functions in the query table. This includes - AbsQuarter(), AbsMonth(), IndexOf() and First_Date_Current_Week().

11. Variables for user groups.  Now assign dynamic filter values to user groups and restrict user view only to specific data points.

12. New UI for edit emails. We’ve simplified the "Edit Email Schedule" user interface with new feature icons for edit, pause, send now and delete. 

13. Append time to email subject line. Now email recipients get to know the exact time the reports were generated . Schedule your reports to append time in the email subject line so your users can prioritize your reports and charts according  to  the timeline. 

14. Option to send reports to self.  Now you can send yourself a copy of reports and dashboards while setting up email sharing. 

15. Enhancements in the lookup column.  The version features a few enhancements to the lookup column to improve usability. 
  • Lookup column over a looked up column
  • Specify data types for lookup column
  • Support for default and mandatory values

This version comes with the following bug fixes:

  • Improved scalability.
  • Synchronization issues with Service Desk Plus as a result of backslash character (\) in the field names have been fixed. 
P.S- If you have rebranded Analytics Plus, please repeat the rebranding procedure again after the upgrade.
