We are pleased to present our latest offering of pi - our February 2022 release! This page helps summarise and familiarise you with the changes we have made, and is supported (where applicable) with useful videos to help explain the changes we have delivered.

Here’s what we’ll cover;

Added

When a Category Object is added to a parent category it will now be shared by all child categories:

For example, in the screenshot below:

• If Category Objects are defined on the ‘New Chart Types’ category, they will also be available on the ‘Chord Diagram’ and ‘Custom Maps’ categories

• When navigating between ‘Chord Diagram’ and ‘Custom Maps’, the filters applied to the parent category ‘New Chart Types’ will be maintained

  Open

  

Additional information:

• Category Objects from the parent level behave as if they were defined at child level

• If the same Category Object is used on both the parent and child categories, the system shows an error in the Configuration screen on the child category

• The ‘Display on Page Top’ and ‘Cascade Filters’ options respect the settings defined on the child category if parent and child are configured differently

Please see the following section in pi Documentation for further information.

 Video

We’ve created a short video to explain this in a bit more detail.

There is now a new section in Dashboard Configuration>Themes>Configuration, which allows users to apply very high level css specifically for small screen devices such as Mobiles.

Open

Admin users can now customise the content that is shown on the Chart Information Tab, which is displayed when users click the ‘Chart information' icon under 'Chart Tools'. Two new user permissions have been added:

• Can View Chart Info

• Can View Chart Embedding Info

Open

These permissions control whether a user can see the details of the chart (chart information) and the chart’s embedding link.

In the following example, the ‘Can View Chart Info’ and ‘Can View Chart Embedding Info’ have been removed. The user will still see the Chart Info tab however as ‘Help Text’ has been enabled on the selected chart.

Open

The ‘Display Chart Info’ permission has also been renamed to ‘Display Chart Info Panel’ to better distinguish between them. You will not be able to select ‘Can View Chart Info’ and ‘Can View Chart Embedding Info’ if the ‘Display Chart Info Panel’ permission is not selected .

When ‘Display Chart Info’ is enabled, but there is no content for the info panel to show (including chart information, debug and notifications), the ‘Chart Information' icon will not be displayed (if 'Display Disabled Chart Buttons’ is not selected) or will be inactive. 

Open

You can now reference dashboard variables within the scheduler. These can be added in:

• Email subject

• Email message

• Replaced attachment name

• S3Object location

• Web service URL

Please see the following section in pi Documentation for further information.

Changed

The Y axis has been redesigned in order to address:

• Extra gaps on the top/ bottom of the Y Axis that are not needed particularly on 100% Stacked Charts

• A user defined Y Axis Max that was ignored in general or ignored when it was equal to the max data/target value

• A user defined Y Axis Min that was ignored in general or ignored when it was equal to the min data/target value

• Charts not displaying correctly in small sizes
