Introduction

Version 2.4.1 is a GA version of AppBoard slated for release in January 2014. This page summarizes the New Features, Resolved Issues, and Known Issues slated for the 2.4.1 release.

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 2.4.1.

• Added a sample Data Processing Script to add session information to a data collection (SessionEnrichment.groovy). This can be useful if session information such as role, domain, or session variables are needed in filters or actions. Refer to the Data Processing Script documentation for more information. (AB-381)
• Added the ability to Download a Widget's Data Collection. Widgets can now be configured to allow users to download (in CSV format) the data collection that drives the widget. Alternate Data Collections can be downloaded as well if the administrator wants to provide users with access to other data collections in the system. (AB-479)
• Enhanced the attribute list to be alphabetically sorted when editing associations. (AB-547)
• Improved the robustness of the Actions editor, such that the screen loads more quickly when there are many Actions configured. (AB-515)
• Added documentation examples for various Data Source adapters, including sample files in the product distribution for sample JSON Web Services, located within ${application.home}/data/JSON/.

Resolved Issues

This section describes the resolved issues that are included in version 2.4.1.

• Fixed an issue where the Show Widget Action would not work correctly in some cases if it referenced a Widget on a different Board. (AB-566)
• Fixed issue with Pie Chart color configuration where the configuration was saved but re-editing the widget would show no configuration. (AB-628)
• Removed visibility of internal attribute objectReference when viewing a widget data collection in data-mode. (AB-645)
• Prevent the Viewer and Mobile clients from saving changes to the server. Previously this could potentially happen on product upgrade if one of these clients managed to connect before the Builder connected. (AB-639)

• Fixed an issue where the Show Data Tip Action was not working correctly on AppBoard Mobile. (AB-377)

• Fixed an issue where the Entity Settings dialog in the Queries page of the Data Source Wizard was allowing invalid SQL queries to be saved. (AB-584)
• Fixed an issue in which chart axis labels were becoming unreadable. (AB-643)
• Fixed an issue in the Entity Settings dialog of the Queries page in the Data Source Wizard in which excessive characters in the description caused entity deletion. (AB-617) The following character limits now exist for the fields in the Entity Settings dialog:
  • Name: 256 characters
  • Description: 512 characters
  • SQL Query: 8000 characters
  • Update Statement: 1024 characters
• Fixed an issue where the custom theme setting was getting lost. (AB-565)
• Fixed an issue where adding a new stack on the Stack Assignment page was creating duplicate stacks. (AB-535)
• Fixed an issue where the Table Widget was not correctly displaying values of 0 and false. (AB-626)
