A native app is now available to view dashboards on Android and iOS devices. Ad hoc editing features are not currently supported.
Enterprise Manager provides a new interface for creation and management of materialized views, and allows materialized views to be created for multiple Viewsheets simultaneously. All options for creating and managing materialized views are now located under the 'Repository' > 'Materialized View' folder of the Server tab.
A single materialized view can now support multiple Viewsheets based on the same data source. This reduces the amount of time and space required for materialized view creation.
Enhancements to server logging improve informativeness and ease-of-use. Logging features are now located under a new Log tab in Enterprise Manager.
The 'shared filter' feature previously available for Viewsheets only has now been extended to reports. This simplifies the design of drill-downs from dashboards to reports.
The following script functions have been added to the CALC library to enable conversion of Gregorian calendar dates to fiscal calendar dates. To compute dates for a fiscal calendar starting on arbitrary month and day: fiscalYear(), fiscalQuarter(), fiscalMonth(), and fiscalWeek(). To compute dates for a 52/53-week fiscal calendar with 4/4/5, 4/5/4, or 5/4/4 structure: fiscalYear445(), fiscalQuarter445(), fiscalMonth445(), fiscalWeek445(), fiscalYear454(), fiscalQuarter454(), fiscalMonth454(), fiscalWeek454(), fiscalYear544(), fiscalQuarter544(), fiscalMonth544(), and fiscalWeek544().
The User Portal and Enterprise Manager now provide a simple interface for defining "alerts" based on highlight conditions and output ranges in reports and dashboards. When scheduling a report or dashboard, users can select an existing highlight or Output component range to control whether the scheduled task is executed.
