ArcViz Release 4.2.1.0 includes enhancements to the following areas:
In either View or Edit mode, the bottom of the supplemental menu in Visual Builder shows the id of the visual. We provide this feature for more effective use in activity log reporting, and to help in debugging the performance of visuals. See Visual ID.
When you use Visual Builder to add visuals to the dashboard from other dashboards, Arcadia Enterprise names them Clone of …. See Cloning Visuals.
When you remove a linked visual from a dashboard, the menu option is Remove. The visual is still available for use by other visuals. See Removing Visuals.
When you remove an unlinked visual from the dashboard, the menu option is Delete. This visual is no longer on the system. See Deleting Visuals.
This new option enables you to directly specify how many rows to download with CSV export and detailed data, for each visual. See Changing Number of Rows to Download.
Starting with this release, the Interactive Map visual accepts both numeric and non-numeric values on the Color shelf. See Using Alphabetic Values on Color Shelf of Interactive Maps and Segmenting Data Qualitatively on Color Shelves of Interactive Maps.
You can also plot routes based on an IDs on the Color shelf and event times specified on the Tooltip shelf. See Plotting Routes on Interactive Maps.
To enable route display, see Customizing Route Layer and Displaying Route Layer.
We simplified the configuration of dashboard filters by adding a drop-down menu to select the date range set. See Configuring Real-time Filters.
By default, Arcadia Enterprise processes all parameter data in case-sensitive manner. In this release, we added an option to for disabling case-sensitive comparison on Dashboard settings. See Enabling Case Sensitive Dashboard Filters.
We improved the guiding text for specifying events and segments on datasets. Flow and Funnel visuals use these events.
See Creating Events and Creating Segments.
With this release, Arcadia no longer
reports the number of NULL
s in column statistics. See Data Table Detail.
Disabling scheduling at site-wide level disables the option to email scheduled or triggered emails; you can still email visuals and dashboards with immediate delivery option. See Schedule-based Email.
Additionally, it removes the option to schedule analytical view refreshes. Previously scheduled refreshes do not execute. However, you can start analytical view refreshes manually, with immediate execution. See Scheduling Analytical View Refresh.
We made several improvements to the logging interfaces:
We streamlined job and log IDs on the Job status page to help you debug performance issues. The Scheduled Jobs tab uses the same job IDs as the Job Log tab.
See Job Log, Scheduled Jobs, and Manage Schedule Intervals.
We also improved the readability of the delete confirmation dialog interface.
See Deleting Jobs, Deleting Scheduled Jobs, and Deleting Schedule Intervals.
The Custom Styles interface has been streamlined in this release, supports full auto-complete, and validates JS customizations.
This release ships with several custom snippets that we developed for you to try new styling options. With the auto-complete option enabled, type arcapi, and the list of options appears:
arcapi.settings()
arcapigetSettings()
arcapi.sendParameters()
arcapi.getParameters()
To access Custom Styling, click the (gear) icon at the top menu to open the Site Administration menu, and select Custom Styles. See Defining Site-Wide Custom Styles and JavaScript Custom Styles.
If you use custom JS styling on relative date filters, upgrading to Release 4.2.x makes
it necessary to add the following content to the beforeDraw()
function
definition of the custom
style:
var fromattedCurrentParams = {};
lib.params().getCopy().forEach(function (param) {
formatted CurrentParams[param.key] = param.value;
});
lib.dashboard_click(formattedCurrentParams);
We re-organized and clarified the table styling options, such as changing the option name from Show table Information to Show row Information, Showing Row Information.
