We are proud to release Exago BIv2019.2!

Check out the list of new features and other changes below.

Dashboard Upgrades

The hallmark of v2019.2 is a complete re-design of our Dashboard Designer and Dashboard Viewer tools. We've made the workflow for building Dashboards simpler and more streamlined. Dashboard visualizations are now based on Advanced Reports instead of ExpressView. This means that the flexible sorting, filtering, formulas and aggregation offered by the Advanced Report Designer are now available to Dashboard Visualizations.

The Filters and Parameters menu in the Dashboard Designer has been made easier to use by grouping all content together. Filters and Parameters contained on reports with the same data field or name will automatically consolidate into a "stack". This allows a cleaner, more intuitive filtering and interaction experience in both the Dashboard Designer and Dashboard Viewer.

The Advanced Report Designer now supports drilling down (aka linking to) a Dashboard in additional to another Advanced Report. The linking filter is applied to all the tiles on the Dashboard automatically.

Report Designer Upgrades

Changes to our Report Designer will mean enhancements for both users designing reports and for those viewing and interacting with reports. The new toolbar is easier to work with and easier to see. Prompting parameters now include dropdown lists with values from the data source that can be scrolled up or down. Prompting filters with a formula can also display a dropdown list of values—taking the guesswork out of filtering! Conditional formatting with formulas allows more powerful conditional formatting. A new color picker and "sticky" headings round out enhancements to the Report Designer for an all-around better experience for all users.

A new color picker is in use throughout the application. The new color picker makes more colors available to report designers, as well as directly entering hexadecimal or decimal color codes. The bottom row of colors can show a default set of colors, can save preferred colors on a per-user basis or with extensibility, can be set by a system administrator.

Conditional formatting in cells now permits the foreground or background color to be set by a formula instead of just a static color choice.

Scheduling with the REST Web Service API

A number of REST Web Service API endpoints have been added to the application that allow developers to create, modify, view and delete schedules programmatically. Several new enumerations and constants have been added as well to accommodate this new functionality.

Custom Aggregate Functions

Just as Exago administrators can already create their own Custom Functions, administrators can now create their own Custom Aggregate Functions for aggregating data. Custom Aggregate Functions can be implemented in either C# or VB.NET directly through the Admin Console or programmatically through the .NET API. We have provided several examples of Custom Aggregate Functions in our documentation.

Also see What’s New in v2019.2 for more information regarding these features.

Other Changes

New Admin Console setting Run Aggregate Functions at Record Level by Default is set to True. This setting configures how Exago handles one-to-many relationships when an Aggregate Function is called without the recordLevel argument.
Express Report settings removed from the Admin Console
Use Sample Data for Dashboard Visualization Design setting removed from the Admin Console
Prompting Parameters with dropdowns allow you to scroll above the currently selected value
If Remote Execution is enabled, the GetExecute() API methods can now use the remote execution servers for report generation

Fixed an issue where filter dependencies were not being honored between prompting and non-prompting filters
Fixed an issue where choosing a value from a dropdown would be overriden by a previously typed value for Parameters in the Dashboard Viewer
Fixed an issue where values in Dashboard docked interactive filter dropdowns could come from data objects not included on a report if that data object is included on another report on the same Dashboard
