What's new

- ISO codes can be added as a custom member property, of type Text, to any dimension.
-
In this release, map charts can show any country as well as all USA states and Canadian provinces.
-
Maps can be zoomed and dragged:
-
Maps can show a single country:
-
With the USA and Canada, you can drill down from the national level to states and provinces:
Dashboard charts: Define display units for data labels
- Using the new Display units property, you can define the scale at which values are shown in a chart tile.
- The options are None, Thousands, Millions, Billions, and Trillions.
-
The property is available for both the Primary Value Axis and the Secondary Value Axis.
-
You can set the Display units for a series to match that of its value axis:
-
You can set the Display units individually for each series:
- The Display units property is available in the following chart types: all "XY" charts, Pie, Donut, Funnel, and GeoMap (not in Gauge or Bullet).
Page Notes
- The new Pages Notes feature in Template Studio allows you to enhance reports with high-level comments.

- PROPHIX.GETCOMMENT(): Returns the latest cell comment stored against the member combination.
-
The new Writeback mode allows PROPHIX.GetValue() to update values stored in the cube from within Analyzer.
Report Binder Process
- Report binders larger than 10 MB are now automatically compressed (using the .zip standard) before sending.
- Report binders smaller than10 MB are sent uncompressed (as before).
Data Integration Process
- In Process Manager's Insert menu, Data Integration has been renamed Data Integration Classic.
- The name change is to help prepare users for the upcoming release of Data Integration Studio.
