Import Matching Strategy Improvements |
When you migrate and import objects into your environment, you can define a matching strategy that uses multiple approaches to reviewing objects to determine how to handle them in conjunction with your selected insertion strategy. Matching strategies are processed in order, proceeding to the next and the next if a strategy fails. If all strategies fail, the object is imported and tagged with your selected tags to help you find affected objects and manage any issues. These attributes are used to define the matching strategy and warning tags to use for import. See Import Dashboards, Import Visual Gallery Visuals, and Import or Export Sources. |

Breaking Changes Management
|
Composer now offers more robust breaking changes management when working with changes to data types and sources for fields or schemas in use by dashboards, visuals, and filter snippets. When you make changes to a data source in use such as:
Composer returns a verbose series of warnings about making such breaking changes. Review the returned list of affected visuals and filter snippets, and then decide to abort the change or proceed by selecting Ignore Warnings. Once you have saved your changes, navigate to the affected visuals and filter snippets to update the field used by each. This works with conditional formatting, and when changing between all data types. |
|

As with all filter snippets, you can search your hierarchical content defined in the Value Column to help you select and deselect the content to include. |
Content Tags for Visuals, Sorting, Filtering |
We have expanded the use of content tags in Composer. You can now add tags to visuals, and use them to sort and organize content as you do with tags for dashboards and sources. Add a tag when you save or edit a visual in the Visual Gallery, or convert and add from a local visual from a dashboard to the Visual Gallery.
|
Multi-Grouping for Box Plot Visuals |
Box plot visuals can now include groups and subgroups: add a subgroup to expand the depth of the information you provide in this visual type. |
Sunburst Visuals |
Use the new visual type, Sunburst, to display hierarchical data in a circle format. Display up to three levels of data, starting with the topmost hierarchical data in the center of the sunburst, with the secondary and tertiary levels shown in levels further from the center. |

License Changes |
This release implements a new license file structure. Important: Older license keys are not compatible with Composer 6.9. If you are upgrading from any older Composer or Zoomdata release, a new license must be requested. |
Authorization Changes |
Two new privileges, Can Create Visuals and Can Manage Visual Permissions are introduced in this release to support the updates made for visual permissions. If a user is granted the Can Administer Visuals privilege, they are now automatically granted both the Can Create Visuals and Can Manage Visual Permissions privileges as well. A non-administrative user must have the Can Create Visuals or Can Administer Visualsgroup privilege to add a visual. Finally, a non-administrative user must also have the Can Create Visuals (or Can Administer Visualsgroup privilege to import a dashboard. In prior releases, they only needed the Can Create new Data Sources and Can Create Dashboardsgroup privilege. |
Security Key Updates |
Security keys are deprecated in this release and will be removed from the product in a future release. Use Trusted Access instead for all embedded workflows. See Trusted Access. However, while Composer still supports security keys, the previous method of authorizing the use of visuals using new security keys changed due to the introduction of visual permissions in this release. |

New InterSystems IRIS Connector |
This release introduces an InterSystems IRIS connector. This connector lets you access the data available in an InterSystems IRIS data platform using the Composer client. |
New Visual Permissions |
This release introduces visual permissions. Visual permissions allow you to permit your entire account, groups within your account, or users within your account to read, write, or delete a visual. This allows you to share a visual with other users. API updates have been made to support this new functionality. |
In past releases, if a user had Read permissions for a data source, they also had Read permission to any visuals created using the data source. However, with the introduction of visual permissions in this release, this is no longer true. With this release, authorization for visuals is now controlled by visual permissions. | |
Dashboard Save Changes |
Saving dashboards has changed to support visual permissions. |
The Save and Save As options that were available from a drop-down menu off of the dashboard icon bar have been separated. With this release, two icons on the dashboard icon bar are now provided: one for Save and one for Save As. | |
Dashboard save processing and dashboard copy processing have been improved and the Save Options and the Save As Options dialogs have changed to reflect the improvements. | |
Note: Pre-existing visuals are no longer automatically saved when you save a dashboard (new visuals are automatically saved). You must explicitly elect to save pre-existing visuals on the dashboard Save Options dialog. | |

A new Save As option on the visual drop-down menu when a visual is edited in a dashboard, a new icon on the visual when edited in the Visual Gallery, and a new Save As Options dialog have been added. Use these to save a visual with a new visual name. The original visual still exists with its original name in the system. |
Visual Name Uniqueness |
Visual name uniqueness is now enforced with this release. |
New List Filter Visual Style |
A new visual style called a list filter has been added to the product. A list filter visual can be used to list values of a data source field in a visual. You can select one or more of the field values in the list to quickly apply a filter to other visuals in the dashboard that subscribe to a cross-visual filter for the field. |
New Stacked Area Chart Options |
New Display as stacked and Stacking Style options on Line Trend: Attribute Value visuals allow you to create stacked area charts. |
Table Changes |
If a table has been grouped, the options to export its raw or visual data are no longer available. You cannot export raw and visual table data after it has been grouped. |
New Visual Interactivity Settings |
Three new visual interactivity settings are introduced in this release: Maximize, Rename, and Show Time Bar Panel. |
Experimental Materialized View Enhancements |
You can now create materialized view definitions using the Composer UI. In past releases, they could only be created using the API. This is an experimental feature. Important: This is an experimental feature. |
New Experimental Alerting API Functionality |
This release introduces new API endpoints that you can use to alert your end users when a metric reaches a specified threshold. Important: This is an experimental feature. |

You can now specify which cross-visual filter each dashboard visual publishes (which link fields it can apply cross-visual filtering for) and which cross-visual filter each visual subscribes to (which cross-visual filters can be applied to the visual). Cross-visual filters are filters created using same-source and cross-source link fields established in the dashboard. Custom charts support cross-visual filtering controls if the chart supports the radial menu and filtering and if the appropriate publish and subscribe controls are enabled. Cross-visual link publish and subscribe settings for a dashboard can be specified for embedded dashboards using JavaScript. Two JavaScript methods are provided with the |

Significant changes were made to how dashboards can be embedded in your applications. Primarily, while your existing embedded dashboard HTML snippets will continue to work, this release introduces the ability to embed dashboards using JavaScript code. This is more powerful than the HTML script snippet provided in previous releases because it provides you with more tailoring options for the dashboards in your application. Note: insightsoftware recommends using Trusted Access for all embed-related workflows. |
User Interface Changes |
The Advanced options (Root, Embed ID, Show Banner, Show Header, Show Logo, Show Title, Show Breadcrumbs, and Show Actions) previously available on the Embed Code dialog that produces an embeddable HTML script snippet are removed. |
The OAUTH option on the Security page of the Supervisor UI is renamed Trusted Access & OAUTH. | |
