New Features
Configuration Change Auditing
Previously only records were audited, but now there is a Configuration Auditing log which will show changes to application and tenant configuration. A new menu item Configuration Changes can be found under Audit in the left panel of the Administration application. Some of the elements included are:
- object definitions
- charts
- forms
- reports screens
- resource keys
- email settings
- schedules
- triggers
- workflows
Configuration Changes in the Administration
Master Detail can link between different underlying reports
Master Detail has been improved and can now be used to link items (viz. charts, reports or hero texts) that run off different reports. Until now both items needed to be based off the same report.
Using Assign Parent on charts that use different underlying reports

The filter on the parent can also be cleared to show all items. Using linked charts as an example, clicking the bars on the parent bar chart will filter the child chart, and clicking in the chart but outside of any of the bars will clear the filter.

Enhancements
Hidden Analyser Conditions
Analyser conditions in Reports can now be hidden from end users. This can be set by checking the Hidden option in the Report Builder of a Analyser Condition.
Analyser condition options
Hidden conditions will appear translucent when the administrator is modifying the report, and completely hidden for users running the report.
Analyser condition is transparent when set to hidden in the Report Builder
Nested Calculations
Calculations can now refer to other calculations - provided there are no circular references - in forms and reports. This feature should be leveraged as much as possible to improve performance, because refactoring with nested calculations will reduce the total number of calculations required. Simply choose the calculated field in calculation; previously doing this would have resulted in an error message because calculated fields were not usable as terms in calculations.
Bracket Matching
When the cursor moves over a bracket in the calculation editor, the matching bracket will now be highlighted as shown with a grey background, making it easier to edit long and complex calculations.
Example of bracket matching in calculations
CASE Statement
Calculations now support the CASE statement for value comparisons. CASE may be used by either providing a value to be matched against a list of options, or by providing a list of tests.
If none of the conditions match then the result will be NULL. Also, the output data type will be the common data type among all the possible results. In the first example the result for Singapore is a string of '457' and not the number 457.
case [Input].[Country]
when 'Australia' then 'citizen'
when 'New Zealand' then 'resident'
when 'Singapore' then 457
else 'foreign'
end
case
when [Input].[Country] = 'Australia' then 'citizen'
when [Input].[City] = 'Sydney' then 'local'
when [Input] is null then 'unspecified'
else 'foreign'
end
If multiple options evaluate to true, then the first matching condition will be used.
