Data Connections - Additional Variable Replacement Options 🗣️ | #2326 | 28872 | Data Connections |
---|---|---|---|
The JDBC URL field of Free Format Data Connections has been updated to allow the use of secure variables - it already supports insecure ones. This also means that other data connections that have multiple fields that ultimately combine to form the JDBC URL, for example the ‘Host’ field, now support secure variables as well. Additionally, the Driver Class Path field that previously did not allow any variable replacement has been updated to support both secure and non-secure variable replacement. The Username and Password fields still only allow for secure variable replacement however, they now have a lock icon with a tooltip to indicate that this is the case

CHANGES
Duplicating Category Layout, When Duplicating A Category 🗣️ | pi#2302 | 29446 | Categories |

Scheduler - Failing When A Disabled Users Or User Without An Email Address Are Present 🗣️ | scheduler#73 | 28374 | Scheduler |
---|---|---|---|
Previously, upon detecting a disabled user or a user with a missing email, a schedule job would fail entirely. Now, it will simply skip over these users and continue scheduling to all other non-problematic users without fault. It will also skip over users under a role which are either disabled or have a missing email too. |
piAnalytics - Decision Tree - MIN_SAMPLE_LEAF Added To DecisionTree | pirana#45 | - | piAnalytics |
---|---|---|---|
We now include min_samples_leaf option to the decision tree logic in piAnalytics. This option imposes a constraint on the minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node that prevents the tree from growing overly complex and capturing noise. With this setting we can control the level of detail in the decision tree as larger leaf sizes result in simpler trees, which are easier to interpret. Each leaf node will contain at least 5% of the total samples. This setting for min_samples_leaf will be made configurable in an upcoming release. |
Card Charts - Remove White Space Underneath A Card Chart (Desktop & Mobile Views) 🗣️ | pi#2252 | 29726, 29484, 29570, 29447 & 29313 | Card Charts |
---|---|---|---|
Resolved various display and scaling issues of Card Charts, for desktop and mobile view. Changed the way the size of the Card Chart container is being calculated; now use the width-height ratio that is applied to cards in the chart editor. As a result, when having multiple card charts in the same category, more content will be displayed in mobile view. Here is an example video; (Safari, iOS 17.2, iPhone 15):
Improvements have also been made around the scaling of card charts, specifically when displaying large amounts of content. |
Excel Export - Chart Title Inconsistencies 🗣️ | pi#2332 | 29629 & 29283 | Excel Export |
---|---|---|---|
Addressed an issue where incorrect chart title was used in Excel exports. Excel exports will now mirror the chart title displayed for the chart in the UI, that is consistent with the rest of export types e.g. if the chart title is defined in the ‘Attributes' section, this chart title will be used in the exported file. |
Combined Charts - Not Drawing When Trend Line Is On | pi#2315 | 28859 | Chart Display |
---|---|---|---|
Fixed an issue where the combined chart with multiple measures was breaking, if the trend line was being used and the data for all measures was put on the second y axis. |
Exporting (PowerPoint & Excel) - NULL Values Should Display As Empty When Used In Dimensions 🗣️ | pi#2303 & pi#2306 | 29370 | Exporting | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
PowerPoint & Excel exports were showing a hardcoded 'NULL' value when NULL values were used in the dimension data. Instead, we now convert any NULL values into empty strings to reflect thew view in the UI. Currently, NULL values in the dimensions are shown as empty cells in the table in the dashboard.
|
Importing/Exporting - Removed Leading And Trailing Spaces From Identifiers 🗣️ | pi#2238 | 29354 | Import / Export |
---|---|---|---|
Removed the leading and trailing spaces from the domain values, that are used as identifiers in export import functionality e.g. chart name, data connection name, category name, report name, schedule name. All leading and trailing spaces will now be trimmed before being saved to the database. |
Go Library Upgrade - Upgrade PGX Package | scheduler#84 | - | Scheduler |
---|---|---|---|
A high level SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-27289)was reported in one of the GO libraries used by the scheduler. Although we don’t believe it would be possible to exploit, we’ve upgraded the library to fully mitigate against this. |
