v11.2 Enterprise Product: (Estimated release timeframe near the end of Q3)

Active Projects:

• Knowledge Base: This is a major feature, licensed separately from iDashboards. This will allow you to create articles and save valuable information so your end-users will be empowered to share and find various resources. Based on permissions, articles will all be viewable within the Knowledge Base to any licensed user of iDashboards. However, you can also embed an article into the frame of a dashboard for specifically sharing a piece of information along with your charts and graphs. Articles are saved in the hierarchy of your choice, supporting formatted text, images, dashboard links, and much more.
  • Article Comments: As an option, Articles can be open for comments to capture feedback or deepen the discussion on any given topic. When comments are posted, other users will be able to:
    • Flag: If a post seems inappropriate, you can flag it. The iDashboards Moderator can then see a collective list of flagged comments and make the best decision on how to move forward.
    • Share: This will allow easy sharing and reference to a comment.
    • Delete: If the user is a moderator, this option will allow for immediate removal of the comment.

• • Article Comment Moderation: We all know the type. Eventually, this person leaves a comment that raises suspicion. Well, Article Comments can be flagged and reviewed by a moderator to determine if the comment is allowed or if the comment should be deleted. Defining who can be a moderator is an administrative task that takes place when editing the user account. Any user account with the role of Builder or above can become an Article Comment Moderator. 
•  
  • Features Include: Web based application, Link to multiple dashboards, Tagging, Share, Pin Article, Restrict Commenting, Create/Edit/Delete/Move Article, Article Voting, Permissions, and more!
  • Knowledge Base Public: Through a premium license option, the Knowledge base can be used publicly where user-authentication is not required. This will allow you to host and share a massive amount of content for public consumption! 

• Dashboard Comments: This is a core-feature, licensed into iDashboards. As an option, Dashboards can be open for comments to capture feedback or deepen the discussion on any given topic. When comments are posted, other users will be able to:
  • Flag: If a post seems inappropriate, you can flag it. The iDashboards Moderator can then see a collective list of flagged comments and make the best decision on how to move forward.
  • Share: This will allow easy sharing and reference to a comment.
  • Delete: If the user is a moderator, this option will allow for immediate removal of the comment.
• Dashboard Comment Moderation: We all know the type. Eventually, this person leaves a comment that raises suspicion.

Defining who can be a moderator is an administrative task that takes place when editing the user account. Any user account with the role of Builder or above can become a Dashboard Comment Moderator. 
• Mobile Layout > Orientation Locking: For mobile dashboards, this ability will allow a mobile page to be locked into the portrait or landscape position when viewed on a mobile device. Using this feature will allow you to specifically design a mobile dashboard experience that always looks good and never distorts!
• Chart(s):

• • All New Menu Appearance: Based on valuable user feedback, we have improved the appearance of
  • New Pinwheel Radar Chart: This is a new chart that is a blend between the Stacked Radar and Column Chart. The shape is always circular and the graphics don't "blend" between data points.

• • • New "Single-Slice" charts: A new Single-Slice Pie and Donut chart are now part of our library. These charts provide you an option to emphasis a single number using a single-slice of the graphic (while deactivating the other slice). Use this when you have only a single record in your data set. Because only 1x number is displayed, there are 3 options for comparing the number as a percentage:
      • Against the number "100"
      • Against a number in the second Y-Axis
      • Against a custom number

• • • Tabular Charts: Improvements to the family of tabular charts allowing precision column width setting.
    • Updated Radar Charts: The family of Radar Charts have been updated with a new property "Transpose X/Y Axes". This will help you easily flip your data around to get the visuals you need without having to reformat your data.
• New Pivot Features:
  • New Motion Pivot: The Bar chart will receive a new functionality to automatically cycle through the pivot values. Meanwhile, the graphics of the bar chart will animate between each pivot value. You can apply sorting on the X-Axis for a subtle effect or apply sorting on the Y-Axis for a dramatic effect!

Sorted on the X-Axis

Sorted on the Y-Axis

• • New Pivot Appearance: In addition to the current "Dropdown" appearance of a Pivot list, we've now added a Button Row and a Slider!

• Dashboard/Builder interface
  • Rename or Move items without having to first open them. Also, perform bulk rename or move tasks!

• • A new Right-Click option exists when using the live preview within the dashboard Builder. This will be a significant improvement when you want to edit a drilldown target chart or dashboard!

Data Hub

• New Data Set: Text File
  • This feature allows text files to be used as a data set which can then be used within an ETL job!
    • Easy configuration to add server folder location which contain the text file(s)
    • Multiple folder paths can be configured

Future Projects:

• • Improvements to Public Access Dashboards (guest user): After many years of tweaks and improvements, the ability to understand and construct your own, sharable, URL for a Public Access user has become complicated. This project will implement an interface to assist with creating a sharable URL - including new features like:
    • URL expiration
    • URL disablement
    • Custom URL definition: You can enter any unique text you wish, like ".../salescompaign" or ".../2021annual report". Or, use a non-descriptive option to entire hash the URL, like ".../99c3c2635..."
  • Improved Legend: This is the first part of more to come. In this update, we will improve the appearance of the legend (as seen on the left). In the near future, we will be updating the legend to remove the titlebar when applicable.
• New Speedometer chart: This will be a no-needle speedometer chart that instead uses a fill, or graduation options
• Docker image of iDashboards
