New Features for Custom Reports and Dashboards

Multiple features have been added to the Reports module to provide you with additional customization options and an improved user experience. In addition, powerful tools that were previously available only for reports, such as schedule and export options, are now available for dashboards. This upgrade provides you with an increasingly robust and customizable product, allowing you to access and interact with your data more effectively.

With this upgrade, you can now perform the following actions in the Reports module:
 

  • Interact with your data using new chart types. New chart types are available for your reports and dashboards, including tree charts for hierarchical data and semi-pie charts, allowing you to visualize and interact with your data in additional formats.

    New Chart Types

    For example, you can use the new Tree Map chart type to create a visual representation of your available space.

    These new charts provide you with additional options for interacting with your data, allowing you to visualize your data in an advanced, user-friendly format.
     
  • Access additional dashboards using image and text hyperlinks. Dashboards now support image and text hyperlinking, allowing you to quickly link to and access your other reports or dashboards. For example, you can create a dashboard link to a report displaying occupant capacity by building.

    Link to reports from dashboard

    Using this new feature, you can create links to all of your important reports and dashboards in a single location, increasing the ease of navigation in the Reports module.   
    ​​
  • Create specific dashlets using new filtering options. You can filter the numeric data shown in a crosstab to show only the rows with the top or bottom 'N' values, where N is a number that you specify. For example, you can now filter a crosstab to display only the top 3 values in a column.
