Platform Improvements
VividSheets data is now available as a data source for some chart types when you are building non-filterable slide decks.
The introduction to builder workflows is a part of this release, allowing for more contextual editor and building experiences for the different types of outputs builders are trying to achieve.
A new chart menu experience allows for better organization, management, and support for chart types and templates.
A builder can now multiselect elements on the editor, using keyboard commands or marquee selection.
Builders can now utilize an encoded query they’ve created via an encoded query input, in which case these conditions are used in place of conditions from the condition builder.
Clickthrough capabilities were added to both the shape and image elements.
Selected filters can now be displayed on the viewer or download, when they are active and this feature has been turned on with the ‘Advanced: Display Active Filters’ setting.
There is some messaging on the platform that now utilizes UI Messages, which can be customized to reflect what a customer would like to have displayed to their users.
