Platform 2023.4 Release Notes
Canvas
Show/Hide Canvas Stacks and Groups
Canvas designers can now simultaneously control the visibility of all the components within a Group or Stack.
Keep Space
The "Keep space" option allows Canvas designers to maintain the hidden component's position on their Canvas.
Gap and Padding sizes
Canvas designers can now select from two new size options: "Extra Small" and "Extra Large" for gaps and paddings.
Default Gaps and Paddings
The default padding and gap size for Groups is set to "Extra small."
Canvas visual enhancements
Dotted lines now clearly indicate the borders of all Canvas components, enhancing the formatting process and contributing to an improved user experience.
Hyperlink Action for Canvas sheets
The Hyperlink action has been expanded to enable the Canvas designers to choose specific Canvas sheets from Canvas-only workbooks. This enhancement allows designers to bundle different Canvases in one workbook and navigate through them.
Views
Open a View from a cube cell out of a published report
Drill down one level into any dimension of the cube, regardless of the structure of your report. You find the new "Drill by..." option in the context menu of any data cell in a report (including KPI cards).
Cross Drill Down in Views
Change a row or column dimension of a View that has been opened through "Drill by..." with one of the remaining POV dimensions. This makes data analysis much more flexible, as it allows you to place dimensions in any of the areas of a View.
Integrator
"New Connection" dialog now more intuitive
The new "New Connection" dialog has been redesigned to enable faster setup of file-based connections such as CSV and XML. You can set up the connection based on file type or location at the first screen (shown below).
Directory capabilities for file-based connections
You can now set up a connection to a directory for file-based connections. These connections enable extracting supported file types (CSV, XML, JSON, Excel) from the underlying connection. As part of this change, connections and extracts of type "File"have been renamed "CSV".
Premium Snowflake Connection
The Snowflake Connection is now a premium offering and requires a separate license.
OAuth authentication for Snowflake
