This article provides a list of the issues fixed and new functionality added in Dundas BI, and for Managed Dashboards and Reports in Logi Symphony where applicable.

Version 23.4.1.1001

Fixed issues

TicketDetails
94780
94890
Fixed an error message that could incorrectly prevent creating or upgrading a Dundas BI instance when using Azure SQL or certain editions of SQL Server that do meet the minimum requirements for the application database server.
94843 Updated the Start Here dashboard that can appear by default after login so that the Don't show again checkbox script works following the API changes in version 23.4.1.1000 for ticket 94637 (ensure that the option to Add the Getting Started Tutorial project again is checked when upgrading your instance). Alternatively, users can also change their Default View from their profile or an administrator can change it for them, or the dashboard can be edited to add dundas.context.currentSession.tenantId as a 4th argument to the writeData method called for the neverShow checkbox.

Version 23.4.1.1000

Behavior changes

TicketDetails
94487

Behavior changes associated with the ability to associate an account with multiple tenants:

  • Enable the new Global option (IsGlobal/isGlobal in the API) on accounts that are meant to be able to log in without belonging to any tenants – this is done automatically when upgrading for existing accounts that do not belong to tenants.
  • Accounts that don't belong to any tenants and are not global cannot log in.
  • Deleting a tenant does not delete accounts that belong also to other tenants.
  • Tenant administrators cannot edit settings of an account that also belongs to another tenant. If they delete such an account, it is removed from their tenant, but the account and its data for other tenants remain.
  • When using federated authentication with AccountAutoCreationMode set to Open, accounts will be added automatically to the tenant specified in the claims if not already added.
94637 If you are using APIs to read or write user data using the account service (e.g., .NET, REST, or JS), data is now stored per-tenant for keys CurrentDefaultViewUserDataKey, CurrentProjectIdUserDataKey, and CurrentHomeLayoutUserDataKey. (Specify a null tenant ID for global users for these keys.)
94638 When using APIs to retrieve a tenant user's personal ("My") project, the new method GetUserProject should be used in .NET, REST, or JavaScript with the tenant ID specified since there is one for each tenant.

New functionality

TicketDetails
94487 You can assign a user or group account to multiple tenants or remove them from tenants when creating or editing accounts. Tenant users belonging to multiple tenants can switch between them from their Profile menu to access different tenant projects and files.
94643 The new list pages accessed from the main menu now directly support various operations normally available from a file's context menu, including check in/check out and publishing, and now indicate their check out status.
94644 Copy or cut files directly from the new list pages and paste them into a folder on the left.
94645 Rename files more easily on the new list pages with inline name editing.
94646 Right-click anywhere on a file on the new list pages as an alternative to clicking the action buttons.
94647 Data cubes using storage are indicated with an icon on the Data page, and their storage can be built directly from their actions or right-click menus.

Fixed issues

TicketDetails
94685 Addressed some cases where localization keys used when setting captions in the Data Analysis Panel are not localized when exporting to Excel or CSV. Localization keys used when setting Header Text in a table visualization's properties are not affected by these issues.
94704 Fixed an issue that could cause certain measure formatting such as range format overrides to be lost and not take effect. There is now an option to Use Source Formatting to clarify when formatting is coming from the underlying data source.
94712 Fixed an issue preventing scrolling to access additional files in the new list pages accessed from the main menu.

Version 23.4.0.1000

Behavior changes

TicketDetails
94563 Microsoft SQL Server 2017 is now the minimum required version when using Microsoft SQL Server for Dundas BI's application and warehouse databases (this change does not affect connecting to Microsoft SQL Server as a data source). If you are using a database created in an earlier version, the database compatibility level may also need to be changed to 140 or higher.

New functionality

TicketDetails

91146 A new Password History Size configuration setting can prevent users from reusing previous passwords or variations of them up to the specified number of passwords.
94118 The Export dialog has been updated to make the cancel and download buttons easier to find and access at the top of the dialog after clicking to export.
94180 The dialog for editing an account's default view as an administrator has been improved to clearly distinguish between the user-set vs. administrator-set default view when one of these has been set.
94264 Data labels now support scrolling text that doesn't fit within their set size when their Overflow property is set to show scrollbars.
94331 It's now possible to select and copy to the clipboard various text values displayed on the administration homepage.
94360 Each column in a table visualization can now be assigned a distinct border below its column header.
94361 A new Hatching 'brush' type is available for various properties of visualizations, components, and filters, to fill an area with repeating lines at the specified angle.
94363 Use the new Variance Scenarios section of the Data Analysis Panel's Visualization tab for tables and charts to automatically calculate and generate pre-configured columns of charts or aligned charts displaying the absolute and relative variances between the values you choose.
94368 For a Waterfall chart, the new Variance Scenarios section will automatically configure the chart as a variance waterfall displaying incremental changes between the base bar and total result bar you choose.
94379 The new Password Minimum Age configuration setting can be set to prevent a user's password from being changed multiple times within the specified time period.
94413 A message is now displayed to confirm that exported content set up to be delivered by email or another method has been sent.
94459 Press shift+A to quickly open or collapse the Labels window in reports.
94471 Support has been added for changes made in PostgreSQL 15 to ensure new application and warehouse databases can be created.
94497 The main menu has been redesigned to provide new dedicated pages for finding and managing files such as dashboards, reports, metric sets, and data cubes.
