1. New application features
- Copy-Paste function
A data copy function has been added for reports and tables. Thus, it is no longer necessary to save data to a report file in order to transfer values from tables.
To properly copy a table, just use the mouse to select an area, and then using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C, copy the data to the clipboard. The selected area is highlighted in a different color to make sure what exactly is being copied.
Example:
After copying, just do the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V or “right mouse button” + “paste”
Instead of using the mouse, you can also select the entire table with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A
In a situation where a specific dimension contains multiple sub-dimensions in the table, for example,
the “Year” dimension contains multiple documents from the “Document Number” dimension,
the Copy function will split the “Year” dimension into each document number from the table (the column with year is not merged):
In a situation where dimensions are presented differently in the table, as in the case below:
• “Year” dimension is expanded
• “Document Number” dimension is expanded for one document only
• “Product Code” dimension is only expanded for one document that is expanded in the “Document Number” dimension
the table will look as follows after pasting the data:
As shown in the above screenshot, when there is no product expanded for other dimensions, the corresponding column is copied from the previous dimension (in this case, these are the red document numbers framed in red).
As far as the format of copied data is concerned, the data is always pasted in numerical format after copying. Example:
Comarch BI Point
• Measure “Sales Value” in “thousands” format
• Measure “Sales Quantity” in “Scientific notation” format
Microsoft Excel
- Refreshing the columns Status, Recalculated, Last loading time, …
The display format has changed for the selected columns so that it shows the actual status of data model, subscription, report. In order for the current status to be shown, there is no need to refresh the repository as any changes such as recalculating the data model are refreshed in real time.
- Refreshing data model in the repository
For all data models (except for the DirectQuery model), the option to refresh a data model from the repository is now available. This way, there is no need to go through all the steps in the data model in order to refresh it.
- Warning about blocked browser pop-up windows
The “Save to File” option requires that “pop-ups” be unblocked in advance from the browser. In the case of pop ups being blocked by the browser, the cause of error writing to a file is now notified.
- Page size limit
The maximum allowed page size has been increased from “500” to “1000”. The default size remains unchanged and it is “15”.
