Reporting Portal Update (December 2024)

This release includes important security updates and a number of significant enhancements to improve your reporting experience. This guide provides an in-depth look at the latest features.

Selecting Favourites

New functionality to tag reports or ad hoc views as favourites, ensuring they are easily accessible from the reporting home page.

Alerts

Alerts can be set up to monitor data. Setting up alerts allows you to receive periodic notifications, with the report attached or linked, based on whether the data in a crosstab or table report meets the specified alert condition and threshold.

Ad Hoc View Cascading Changes

All changes to an ad hoc view can now flow down to any reports based on the view. Previously, only changes related to the sorting, filtering, and re-labelling of columns were passed down to the child report. Now, changes such as adding or removing columns are passed down to the view’s dependent reports. 

Ad Hoc View Drill Down

When enabled, the new "Drill Down" feature allows you to navigate from high-level data to more granular details. Simply click on a data point within a chart that includes hierarchical data to access the underlying details.

UI/UX and Security Improvements

• Advanced Date Time Calculation: In Ad Hoc Views, new Date Time functions now enable "Year to Date", "Period to Period", and "Period over Period" calculations.
• The default visualisation format for Ad Hoc Views is now a table instead of a crosstab, which is the most popular report format.
• Upgrade to internal libraries and frameworks to avoid Critical and High CVEs
