All Platforms​

  • ChartInteractionEventArgs has been renamed to TooltipShowingEventArgs.

New Features​

All Platforms​

  • Chart visualizations will automatically hide 0 value data labels.
  • Custom menu items can now be added to visualization tooltips by adding an RVTooltipItem to the customItems property on the args pass to the onTooltipShowing function.
revealView.onTooltipShowing = function (args) {
    //A string pointing to the image may be used or an RVImage, such as:
    //var caseIcon = new $.ig.RVImage("https://svgsilh.com/png-512/306879.png", "Case Icon"); 
    var caseIcon = "https://svgsilh.com/png-512/306879.png";

1.7.0 (Sept 10th, 2024)​

Breaking Changes​

Java​

  • Spring Boot 2.x is no longer supported. You'll need to use Spring Boot 3.x with JDK 17+ and Jakarta EE 9 complaint server to host your application.

New Features​

All Platforms​

  • (Beta) Fixed lines can now be added to category charts. This beta functionality can be accessed by enabling the enableBetaFeatures property on $.ig.RevealSdkSettings. The fixed lines section in the editor can use data fields, or one of the highest, lower, average, or fixed value aggregate specialty fields.
  • Added support for dates in visualization filter API. For example, when you have a date-based visualization filter, such as "Last 7 days", you can use the following code to check the date range that the filter evaluated to by checking the from and to properties of the returning RVDateRange object.
var dateRange = revealView.dashboard.visualizations[0].filters[0].dateRange;
  • Server side grid paging is now available without requiring the enableBetaFeatures flag in $.ig.RevealSdkSettings. Paging is supported in the following providers: SQL Server, MySQL, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, SyBase, Athena, and Oracle. The providers that support stored procedures will have grid paging disabled when a stored procedure is selected as these can't be queried like tables to return a range of rows. Additionally, paging is not available when processing data on server is false, as well as when using blended data.
  • Added visualization-level descriptions. When editing a visualization, you can now enter a description if desired.
  • Visualizations now automatically support dashboard linking. The default functionality can still be overridden using the instructions from the Linking Dashboards topic.
  • Visualizations can now individually be exported to PDF through their overflow menu when maximized.
  • The filter summary page can now be hidden in exports by setting the includeFiltersSummaryPage property on the ExportOptions object. The exception to this is NodeJS, on that platform the filters summary page is not included regardless of the setting.
  • The background overlay when clicking overflow menus or filter search boxes is now lighter.
  • Added the ability to define hidden fields in Grid visualization, which can be used to define a URL or dashboard link.
  • (Beta) Compare filtered data within the same visualization. The series tooltip includes an option to filter by the selected value. The rest of the visualization will display both the filtered values and the original ones for easy comparison. In this release support was added for funnel, treemap, and gauges. This functionality is currently supported in the following chart types: Column, Bar, Line, Time Series, Area, Step Area, Spline, Stacked Column, Stacked Area, Stacked Bar, Funnel, Treemap, and Gauges. To enable this functionality, set interactiveFilteringEnabled to true on the RevealView.
  • Image export is now supported in headless export.
  • Sql Server Analysis Services data sources now support the EffectiveUserName property, which makes it possible to impersonate the given user. The property can be leveraged to achieve single sign on, e.g. by setting the property in the IRVDataSourceProvider implementation with the value of the current user, as set in the userContext.

ASP.NET & Node​

  • Windows Integrated Authentication is now supported in the Sql Server Analysis Services data source. To enable it, return a new instance of RVIntegratedAuthenticationCredential in your 'IRVAuthenticationProvider' implementation.

Java​

  • Added support for Spring Boot v3. With this support comes the news that Spring Boot v2.x isn't supported anymore. To use Spring Boot v3 you'll need to use JDK 17+ and will need a Jakarta EE 9 compliant server to host your application.
  • Added ARM64 support for ExportTool

Bugs​

New Features​

All Platforms​

  • Added API to programmatically access visualization filters (aka Quick Filters) and modify their selected values.
//Add a selected value, specified by index from the list of available values, to a field given its name.
function addSelValueToFilter(fieldName, valueIdx) {
	var flt = revealView.dashboard.visualizations[0].filters.getByFieldName(fieldName);
	var valuesPromise = flt.getFilterValues(); //Retrieve the selectable values for the filter
	valuesPromise.then(function (values) {              
		var selValues = flt.selectedValues;
		selValues.push(values[valueIdx]); //Add the specified value to the selection
		flt.selectedValues = selValues;
	});
}
  • (Beta) Compare filtered data within the same visualization. The series tooltip includes an option to filter by the selected value. The rest of the visualization will display both the filtered values and the original ones for easy comparison. Currently supported in the following chart types: Column, Bar, Line, Time Series, Area, Step Area, Spline, Stacked Column, Stacked Area, Stacked Bar. To enable this functionality, set highlightedFilteringEnabled to true on the RevealView.
  • (Beta) Visualization toolbar was added to quickly access trend-lines, labels, zooming, etc. To enable this functionality, set enableNewToolbar to true on $.ig.RevealSdkSettings.
  • Removed the ability to provide a custom query client-side on SQL-based data sources.
  • Removed RVGoogleAnalyticsDataSource and RVGoogleAnalyticsDataSourceItem as Google will sunset the API for that connector on July 1st, 2024.
  • Added onDashboardChanged event to RevealView.
revealView.onDashboardChanged = function (args: DashboardChangedEventArgs) {
  console.log('Dashboard has changed.');
  console.log('Old Dashboard:', args.oldValue);
  console.log('New Dashboard:', args.newValue);

  // Accessing filters for the old and new dashboard
  if(args.oldValue) {
    console.log('Old Dashboard Filters:', args.oldValue.filters);
  }
  if(args.newValue) {
    console.log('New Dashboard Filters:', args.newValue.filters);
  }
};

1.5.0 (May 4th, 2023)​

Breaking Changes​

  • In some scenarios, the information set in IRVDataSourceProvider was visible to the client and also stored in the dashboard file. That was not a desirable behavior, but it also produced some hard to reproduce issues when editing dashboards. Starting on 1.5.0, the datasource information set in IRVDataSourceProvider does not leave the server. Depending on the specific implementation of IRVDataSourceProvider, this might have a big impact. To make sure your implementation is right, generally speaking, make sure that if you have a non-trivial implementation of ChangeDataSource, then you also implement ChangeDataSourceItem, and that this ChangeDataSourceItem invokes ChangeDataSource on the dataSourceItem.dataSource object. In addition, when working with CSV, Json, Excel files coming from datasources like S3, Rest, etc., please take into account that you might receive a call to ChangeDataSourceItem with the csv/json/excel datasource item, and in that case you must make sure that the dataSourceItem.resourceItem is properly 'changed', which also means invoking ChangeDataSource for dataSourceItem.resourceItem.dataSource.
  • IRVDataSourceProvider now requires the implementation of ChangeDataSourceAsync.
  • We're no longer releasing an installer for the asp.net SDK. To get started, check the documentation at https://help.revealbi.io/web/getting-started-server/
