Version 8.5

Version 8.5, released in February 2024, covers the major changes introduced to Infoveave including key enhancements, new features, and bug fixes.

Released on: February 2024

New Features

Calculated Columns Early Access

  • Infoveave introduces Infoveave functions for creating calculated columns in Query, Raw, and API sources. This enhancement significantly boosts data manipulation capabilities, allowing users to perform complex calculations and transformations directly within Infoveave. With this feature, users can leverage the power of Infoveave functions to manipulate and enrich data, for analysis and visualization.

Infoboard Variable Early Access

  • In this release, we have added Infoboard Variables to the Infoboards setup, providing you with more flexibility in analyzing data. This feature allows you to define variables that can be called while creating calculated columns for data manipulation and analysis. With Infoboard Variables, you can define variables such as thresholds, target values, or dynamic date ranges that can be used in calculated columns. With variables, you can adapt to changing data and business requirements and perform complex calculations and analysis.

Generative AI in Dashboards Early Access

  • We are pleased to introduce generative AI for generating AI content in dashboards. This feature enhances data insights and report creation by automatically generating meaningful and relevant content based on the Infoboard widgets. Generative AI can analyze data trends and patterns to generate insightful narratives, helping you understand complex data sets more easily.

Code-Based Datasource with Variables Support Early Access

  • Infoveave introduces the Code-Based Datasource, allowing you to harness the full potential of custom JavaScript code to generate custom data tables for analysis. This feature gives you the flexibility to write your own code and create custom datasets tailored to your specific needs. The code based Datasource supports variables and allows you to use variables in your custom JavaScript code. You can also use the predefined date variables, such as @StartDate and @EndDate of the board, available in “YYYY-MM-DD” format.

Code-Based Datasource

Enhancements

Data Protections - Data Hashing Early Access

  • Implemented a new feature called Data Hashing under Administration/Users, enabling data masking for columns in the catalogues, enhancing data security and privacy.

Obfuscation/Masking in Datasources Early Access

  • You can now obfuscate/mask columns in Datasources under catalogues, improving data confidentiality and compliance.

Data Governance - Glossary Section Early Access

  • Added a new section called Glossary under Data Governance, facilitating better understanding of data within the organization and aiding in data governance efforts.

Query Builder Early Access

  • We are excited to introduce new UI-driven options to enhance your query building experience. With this new feature, you can easily create SQL queries without the need for manual SQL coding. Key Features include
    • From: Select tables directly from the interface to define the data source for your query.
    • Where: Define filtering conditions by selecting columns and specifying filter criteria, all within the user-friendly interface.
    • Group by: Group query results based on specific columns, allowing for more detailed data analysis.
    • Add Column (Order by): Easily add columns to your query and specify the order in which the results should be displayed.
    • Take: Specify the number of rows to include in your query results, allowing for efficient data retrieval.
    • Skip: Skip a specified number of rows in your query results, useful for paginating large datasets.

Bug Fixes

  • The issue where distinct count was missing in raw and query-based sources has been resolved. You can now use the aggregation type as distinct counts in your data analysis.

  • The issue with applying a fixed filter and drill down to the same widget causing the screen to break is now fixed. You can now navigate between widgets without encountering any display issues.

  • The default “Auto” measure format not being applied has been fixed. You can now rely on the default measure format settings to be correctly applied in the analysis.

  • The issue with the IoT Realtime Datasource when using a URL and JSON format has been resolved. You can now bring in IoT data successfully and preview the data source without any issues.
