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.

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.
Views
Jedox Views
Jedox Views enable you to access In-Memory DB Views directly within Jedox Web UI (independently of Jedox Web Spreadsheets). The Views UI is integrated into the top-level navigation of Jedox Web, alongside sections like Reports, Designer, and Modeler.
Opening existing Views
When users click on the Views in the navigation bar, they can see a comprehensive list of all the stored Views, open the Views, and explore them
Creating new Views
Users who have the minimum access rights of "W" for the "sub-set view" can create views in the new Views section.
Modifying Jedox Views
To alter the presentation of your report, users can use "Pivot". They can drag and drop dimensions into their Views sections or interchange the dimensions displayed in the Point of View (POV), Rows, and Columns.
Saving Views
Once a View is customized, users can save it for later use. Moreover, when they require similar Views with slight variations, they can utilize the "Save as" function to duplicate and save their View 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.
