Maximizing Dashboards
Dashboards can now be set to open in a maximized state by default. The option is available through the Dashboard editor.
Views
Pivot Views
It is now possible to configure a 'pivot table' stream view in which values in a nominated value attribute are broken out into one of many view columns based on the value in a nominated pivot attribute.
...
Pivot column headers can be derived automatically from data values using date/time and number formats on the view attributes, or from label attributes.
Grid Views
The "Grid" Stream View definition form now shows all properties of the view attribute (not just its name).
The Stream View Attribute definition form now shows a box indicating the size of the field on a form i.e. there is now a visual indicator of the meaning of a width of (say) 100 pixels.
Selection Views
Selection Views now use the selected attribute instead of first attribute of the view.
There is a new 'Show Attributes' option in the Stream Views list context menu which shows Attributes of the selected Stream View.
Streams
Stream Index Scheme
It is now possible to change the stream index scheme while the stream contains data. Changing the index scheme optimises the stream for reading from individual steam sets or from all stream sets.
Changing Stream Settings
The restrictions on changing the properties and/or attributes of existing streams are now based on whether the stream actually contains data records rather than whether the stream has any stream sets. This means that it is now possible to roll back a stream without deleting stream sets, then change any stream property or attribute property.

A new button is available under the User menu (top right corner). It allows switching between a Design and App mode. Design mode allows the user to see design functions of PhixFlow, the toolbar on the left in particular. App mode hides configuration features of PhixFlow. The default mode of the user can be set through the user editor. Users need to have a permission in order to use the design mode. If the user has no permission to use the design mode, the app mode is launched. The selected mode can be specified also through the URL, by adding a "design=true/false" attribute. A list of attributes should be prefixed with a '?' character. For example:

The latter method allows more control over the order of columns and the ability to present columns even if no data values are present. Pivot column headers can be derived automatically from data values using date/time and number formats on the view attributes, or from label attributes. |
