What is AppBoard

AppBoard is a data integration and data visualization platform that dramatically redefines the cost/benefit equation for the development and deployment of real-time business systems dashboards. AppBoard allows you to connect, integrate, visualize, and interact with your data in a simple, straight-forward builder environment. The end result is powerful, compelling dashboards that summarize data from multiple sources and can be accessed from any device.

New Features

This section describes the enhancements to AppBoard that are included in version 2.5.1.

• Implemented better user activity detection for session management, and no longer extend sessions based on data polling. For more detail, see Kiosk Mode or Managing Sessions. (AB-846)
• Enhanced the Unix/Linux post_install script to handle the case where the user name does not match the group name. The group is saved into setenv-custom.sh as TOMCAT_GROUP, and it defaults to the user as was implied before. (AB-857)
• Added new Display Name option for Widgets, a label to be displayed to the user as the title of the Widget instead of the Widget Name. (AB-683)
• Improved the process of managing the upgrade of custom theme artifacts. Any theme assets located in 'enportal/visualizer/assets/custom' will be included in any backup archive. (AB-887)

Resolved Issues

This section describes the resolved issues that are included in version 2.5.1.

• Eliminated a reference to httpclient 3.1 from a jar file, which could have caused a false positive vulnerability to be reported in a scan, even though httpclient 3.1 was no longer being used. (EN-143)
• Fixed an issue where icons were not displaying in the Timeline Widget. (AB-882)
• Removed the unused "LDAP" configuration field from the Session Variables administration page. (AB-879)
• Fixed several issues that were causing problems when running AppBoard with Oracle as the persistence database. (AB-880)
• Fixed two issues regarding cursor display in the Builder: [AB-821]
