We are reducing the number of major Jedox releases per year, and now reserve them for pivotal moments in our software's evolution. Major releases will mark milestones characterized by the introduction of substantial enhancements and innovations. The next major release is planned for Fall 2024.
As with all previous Jedox Cloud deployments, we will continue to deliver regular patches for current Jedox releases, including bug fixes, frictionless improvements, new features, as well as security and performance enhancements.
We will continue to maintain support for versions released within the last 12 months.
July 2024
Freeze Pane (fixed headers) for Rows and Columns
By default, the column and row headers are frozen, ensuring they remain visible at all times while the user navigates through the Dynatable.
Element representation in Dimensions in Source
Users' selected element(s) are now visualized as tags within the Pivot interface. By clicking on any of these tags, users can open the Select Element dialog.
Single Element Selection in POV Dimensions in Source
Users now have the ability to select a single element for Point of View (PoV) dimensions in Pivot.
Multi Selection Drag & Drop via Keyboard
Using keyboard shortcuts, users can now navigate, select, and drag and drop multiple dimensions from the Source to the Rows, Columns, and PoV sections.
Keyboard sortable Dynatables list
As an accessibility enhancement, users can now sort the Dynatables list on the overview page using keyboard controls.
June 2024
Fluent Scrolling in spreadsheets
Users can now scroll through spreadsheets without having to wait for the content to load while scrolling.
Toggle "Include Credentials" flag in Settings
To streamline access and enhance security, Administrators can now activate the "report.link.prevent_credentials" option within the administration settings, effectively concealing the Include Credentials functionality from designers.

AI in Jedox
New AI-powered Jedox Help Center
Now generally available to users, the new Jedox Help Center relies on an advanced AI Search engine able to engage in natural language conversations, sifting through the Knowledge Base to provide simple step-by-step instructions to solve your questions and technical issues in no time.
Some of the AI Jedox Help Center advantages are:
- Natural language understanding: being able to ask questions in human-like language makes the search process easier, quicker, and more focused.
- Step-by-step guidance: tasks like mastering new features or troubleshooting take a shorter time and less effort.
- Personalized answers: the assistant learns from previous interactions and starts tailoring responses according to the user.
- Digital accessibility: text-based interactions offer easier navigation than other interfaces.
An important note before diving into the new Jedox Help Center is that the AI Search uses ChatGPT to generate results. Therefore, discretion and discernment are essential. Don't share confidential information. Also bear in mind that, although the search engine will improve over time, it can still generate incorrect responses and unreliable content. You can always resort to the Jedox Knowledge Base to confirm the validity of the information.
Improved alert mechanism in AIssisted™ Data Preparation Wizard
The Data Preparation Wizard was upgraded with more meaningful warnings and guidance for trend and seasonality functions.
User guide enhancement in AIssisted™ Classification Wizard
Introduction of a comprehensive walkthrough video in the Classification Wizard results page, guiding users through detailed result analysis.
Performance optimization in AIssisted™ Time Series Wizard
The Time Series Prediction ETL was updated to make outlier service work with enhanced performance when excluding zeros for Python services.
Enhanced reporting functionality in AIssisted™ Time Series and Driver-Based Prediction Wizards
This update introduces refined result reports, offering better insights and streamlined visualization capabilities within both Time Series and Driver-Based Prediction Wizards.
NLP in Views (in preview)
The AI assistant enables users to access and explore data in Jedox Views using natural language, thus accelerating the transition from question to insight. The simplified data query process makes it easier for controllers to perform ad-hoc analysis and reporting. This feature is still in preview.
Dynatables (New Views)
Dynatables
Dynatables enable you to access In-Memory DB Views directly within Jedox Web UI (independently of Jedox Web Spreadsheets). The Dynatables UI is integrated into the top-level navigation of Jedox Web, alongside sections like Reports, Designer, and Modeler.
Opening existing Dynatables
When users click on the Dynatables in the navigation bar, they can see a comprehensive list of all the stored Dynatables, open the Dynatables , and explore them
Creating new Dynatables
Users who have the minimum access rights of "W" for the "sub-set view" can create Dynatables.
Modifying Dynatables
To alter the presentation of your report, users can use "Pivot". They can drag and drop dimensions into their Dynatables sections or interchange the dimensions displayed in the Point of View (POV), Rows, and Columns.
Saving Dynatables
Once a Dynatable is customized, users can save it for later use. Moreover, when they require similar Dynatables with slight variations, they can utilize the "Save as" function to duplicate and save their Dynatables under a distinct name or ID.
Web
Improved session handling
The default session timeout has been significantly increased to 60 minutes. When sessions expire, the user will now be redirected to the login page, rather than receiving error messages and generic errors.
Canvas
Result string in the Edit expression dialog
The result string in the “Edit expression” pop-up dialog of Canvas is now truncated to 150 characters and shows an ellipsis “…” once the limit is reached.
Integrator
Google Sheets integration
Jedox now offers seamless integration to Google Sheets with a dedicated connector, extract, and load.
Export and import multiple Integrator projects
Multiple projects can be selected in the Import/Export dialog. Files can be dragged into the dialog or selected from an explorer window.
New option for case-insensitive sorting
Elements can now be sorted without regard to case in TableView and TreeView transforms, and RelationalTable and CosmosSQL extracts. These options appear as “ascendingCaseInsensitive” and descendingCaseInsensitive”.
The other sorting options (“asc” and “desc”) have been renamed “ascending” and “descending”.
Connections to Sharepoint locations now support oauth2RefreshToken
Jedox now supports two token authentication methods for OAuthToken connections to Sharepoint locations: oauth2PasswordCredential and, as of 24.1, oauth2RefreshToken.
Improved UI performance when opening Integrator projects
Integrator UI now loads resources only when they are needed, improving initial loading times of projects.
