CXO-Cockpit Reporting Suite 5.3 Release Notes
- Wouter Born (Deactivated)
New Features
Assign a user to multiple user groups
In order to reduce the administrative overhead on security we have redesigned /wiki/spaces/CXO61/pages/76710131 model. /wiki/spaces/CXO61/pages/76710185can now be member of multiple /wiki/spaces/CXO61/pages/76710200. User groups also can be member of other user groups and this replaces the previous parent user group setting.
Full Tagetik Compatibility (Deal with non-unique members)
Combined font-style formats (e.g. Bold and Underline)
Android App
Together with 5.3 we also released an Android app. This android app does not require version 5.3 to run, but has the same compatibility as the iPad& IPhone app. Read more about our mobile apps in the CXO-Mobile App article.
Password change on the mobile apps
New security features to protect against malicious actions
Three new features to to protect against malicious actions have been added:
- Prevent script injection by checking the HTML that is sent by the narratives editor to the server. The checking is done using a white-list.
- Anti-forgery tokens in all POST methods, this prevents that someone can let you make a post to server using a link outside the application without he user noticing this (Cross-Site Request Forgery).
- Certain features can now be disabled using the CXO-Cockpit Server Configurator -> Settings:
- File Upload in web template (setting is ‘Feature Enabling: File Upload’)
- SQL function in Custom Description (setting is ‘Feature Enabling: SQL in Dynamic Expression’)
Preview-function for Cube-calcs / MDX lists
The preview function for cube calcs and MDX lists allows you to see the translated values for variables and '@@CUR' values
Connect to SAP via a Messaging Server
An important performance improvement for SAP BPC Netweaver could be realized by building a connector to a BW Message Server. This enables load-balancing of sessions which prevents queuing of MDX-queries in case of a high load of reporting requests. Read more about this feature in the SAP BPC - NetWeaver article.
Have line graphs display dot for single data point
In line charts that contain isolated periods a small shape is automatically added.
The example below shows this concept, Week01 is an isolated period (no period before week01 and week02 is empty) so the chart shows shapes on the line. If the shapes would not have been shown there would be no way to see the value on week01.
