New Features & Enhancements
- Make Filters Part of EUP: A new "filters" property has been added to the End User widget’s configuration.
- Support clientid and Personalizations in Automation: The Automation (Flows) widget will now support the
clientid
property so flows may be saved for each end user. Additionally, when this property is provided users will be able to choose to export the original or personalized versions of the dashboards in case the personalized version has been created under the sameclientid
. - Implement Unsubscribe Page for Subscriptions: An Unsubscribe page was implemented where users can confirm their wish to stop receiving emails from a subscription, scheduled export, and/or flow.
- Additional Self-Service Options for All Charts: Self-service options like exporting different formats, filtering, and fit-to-panel were added for all charts directly in the chart builder configuration menus.
- Area Chart: The chart builder now includes a new variation of a line chart called the Area Chart, which depicts one dimension and one metric, with the dimension typically being a continuous variable like time. For more information, please see our video on Area Charts.
- Pivoting for Export: A new feature was added allowing users to configure a dataset with the necessary columns for pivoting, and then export the pivoted data to CSV from dashboards. Users can select which columns to include in the export, both from the original dataset columns and those generated from the pivoting. For more information, please see our video on Exporting Pivoted Data.
