With this release, Symphony transforms your approach to tenant administration and content creation and distribution among different Symphony tenants. Leverage the power of a centralized hub system administrators and content distributors use to push Visual Data Discovery content to your supported tenants. Key Features:
|
Enhanced Content Migration Flow |
Streamline your content migration flow with the enhanced objects Export and Import Process:
|
|
Breaking Changes Management
|
Symphony now offers more robust breaking changes management when working with changes to data types and sources for fields or schemas in use by dashboards, visuals, and filter snippets. When you make changes to a data source in use such as:
Visual Data Discovery returns a verbose series of warnings about making such breaking changes. Review the returned list of affected visuals and filter snippets, and then decide to abort the change or proceed by selecting Ignore Warnings. Once you have saved your changes, navigate to the affected visuals and filter snippets to update the field used by each. This works with conditional formatting, and when changing between all data types. |
|
Data Gateway Service
|
Use the Data Gateway service to connect to your on-premise data sources from an instance of Symphony running in the cloud. Install Data Gateway on your local network and by configuring Symphony allow connection to the on-premise data sources of your choice. |
Azure SQL Data Warehouse (Azure Synapse) |
Offset is now supported when you connect to the Azure SQL Data Warehouse (Azure Synapse) using the Microsoft SQL Server connector. |
Expanded Search Options for Managing and Adding Visuals |
More search and select options are available when you add an existing Visual Gallery visual to your dashboards. Expanded search options means you can:
|
Descriptions for Visuals |
Use the analytics capabilities of Symphony to generate descriptions of your visuals to Visual Data Discovery dashboards with a few simple selections. Quickly insert a visual description in a rich text snippet widget that summarizes the data shown in your visual. You can add multiple visual descriptions in individual widgets, or combine multiple visual descriptions in one or more widgets. Edit the snippet to change the format, edit the contents of the generated description, edit description variables, insert images, links, and more. |
Configuration Manager |
Configuration for Visual Data Discovery services are now available both by API or directly in the UI for users who are members of the Administrator or Supervisors groups.
|
Add URLs and Images to Table Visuals |
Table visuals now support the inclusion of links to URLs or images in a table column. Select the option Format {field name} as URL to include a link to a URL or image by adding a URL with an interpolated value, such as
|
Hierarchical Fields in Filter Snippets |
Create filter snippets to filter by Hierarchy data type for the hierarchical data included in your dashboards. Select a hierarchical field to add to the filter snippet, then select an operator: equals or descendants of or includes to build the conditions for filtering the data.
As with all filter snippets, you can search your hierarchical content defined in the Value Column to help you select and deselect the content to include. |
Content Tags for Visuals, Sorting, Filtering |
We have expanded the use of content tags in Visual Data Discovery. You can now add tags to visuals, and use them to sort and organize content as you do with tags for dashboards and sources. Add a tag when you save or edit a visual in the Visual Gallery, or convert and add from a local visual from a dashboard to the Visual Gallery.
|
Multi-Grouping for Box Plot Visuals |
Box plot visuals can now include groups and subgroups: add a subgroup to expand the depth of the information you provide in this visual type. |
Sunburst Visuals |
Use the new visual type, Sunburst, to display hierarchical data in a circle format. Display up to three levels of data, starting with the topmost hierarchical data in the center of the sunburst, with the secondary and tertiary levels shown in levels further from the center. |
Export Multiple Sources and Copy Sources |
You can now easily export multiple sources and copy individual sources in your environment as needed.
Use the Sources API to send export requests for multiple sources, or copy requests for sources. |
Other Bucket Grouping Options |
A new feature, Show Other, allows you show or hide data in several visual types normally hidden when you define a limit for your data. For example, enable Show Other for a pie chart of data sorted into twenty five counties, with a Limit of ten. Eleven slices are shown: the fifteen other counties are grouped as a single slice, comprising the remaining data succinctly. Disable Show Other in the sidebar menu, or by selecting Remove from the context menu of that data point. This feature is available in the Sort & Limit sidebar menu of several visuals:
|
Improved Analytical Capabilities |
This release brings extensive updates to custom metrics. We have added time and time conversion functions, as well as a number of string manipulation functions to expand the range of possible calculations you can use in your environment. |
Toggle Static Legends |
You can now enable static legends for individual visuals as needed. If a static legend is available for a visual, enable or disable it in the Color sidebar menu. In embedded environments, this is configured at the dashboard level on a per-dashboard basis. |

Optionally configure resource limits and requests separately for init containers in the Helm chart when deploying on Kubernetes. |
Managed Dashboards & Reports 25.3 Changes in this Version |
New configuration setting Concurrent Data Cube Build Count can limit the number of storage jobs running at the same time to prevent potential performance issues. The default value for this setting is 5. |
Drag and drop a new stored procedure on top of another one to re-wire/replace it in a data cube's process flow, similar to re-wiring of tables and manual select data connectors. |
New configuration setting Frozen By Default can be enabled to require that users click to opt into updating data from the data source in visualizations after each change affecting the data when editing. |
Power users and developers can now customize parameter values for each recipient of their own notifications without needing to be an administrator. |
Drag and drop items such as table columns in the Properties window to reorder them to any position rather than clicking to move them one position at a time. |
A new location option is available to place parameter values in a separate sheet or tab when exporting to Excel. |
Optionally select other measures to apply the same formatting to them when setting up a measure's text formatting. |
Visualizations in dashboards contained inside of another view such as another dashboard can now be maximized to fill their container using the right-click/context menu. |
A new sheet is included by default when exporting reports to Excel that visually replicates the positioning and styling of its text content as seen when viewing in the browser or in PDF format, including value formatting, state styles, and color rules. |
Improved error messages, new health information and connection options added to help with connection issues when using a gateway to access on-premise data. |
The new configuration setting Maximum Metric Set Element Count prevents adding excessive numbers of elements when working with very large tables or other data structures: it is set by default to 100. |
New configuration setting Default Data Retrieval Mode can optionally customize the initial data retrieval mode set for new metric sets when selecting or dragging data. If not customized, the default mode remains Raw when selecting or dragging an entire table and Standard otherwise. |
The LogReceiver service is now only deployed in Kubernetes by default when deploying Logi Symphony with Visual Data Discovery enabled. |
.NET classes for JSON serialization and deserialization are now available to use when writing DundasScript, including in Generic Web data connectors and data cube calculated elements. |
When the metric set's data cube is checked out to you, you can add new elements added to other data cubes it uses without manually refreshing the Data Cube Transform. |

Managed Dashboards & Reports 25.1 Changes in this Version |
The Quick Access Properties popup now appears on right-click instead of left-click in edit mode. For visualizations containing multiple elements, a single right-click brings up settings applicable to the clicked element rather than a second left click. |
The Properties window has been redesigned to improve usability, provide more consistent organization, and be more approachable to new users. The locations of some properties have changed: for example, the Layout and Text tabs are now categories under Design, and the Actions category is now a tab. To change an element's display name, double-click it directly at the top of the window. If you have difficulty finding a setting, the related documentation articles contain updated guidance. Categories are collapsed by default, however you can use their existing double-click or right-click shortcut options. |

Managed Dashboards & Reports 23.4.1 Changes in this Version |
|
Behavior changes associated with the ability to associate an account with multiple tenants:
|
When using APIs to retrieve a tenant user's personal ("My") project, the new method |
You can assign a user or group account to multiple tenants or remove them from tenants when creating or editing accounts. Tenant users belonging to multiple tenants can switch between them from their Profile menu to access different tenant projects and files. |
The new list pages accessed from the main menu now directly support various operations normally available from a file's context menu, including check in/check out and publishing, and now indicate their check out status. |
Copy or cut files directly from the new list pages and paste them into a folder on the left. |
Rename files more easily on the new list pages with inline name editing. |
Right-click anywhere on a file on the new list pages as an alternative to clicking the action buttons. |
Data cubes using storage are indicated with an icon on the Data page, and their storage can be built directly from their actions or right-click menus. |
Managed Dashboards & Reports 23.4 Changes in this Version |
Results have been improved when exporting or sending as a notification an empty report, scorecard, small multiple, or slideshow to include a warning or message rather than an empty file for PDF, image, and PowerPoint formats. |
A new Password History Size configuration setting can prevent users from reusing previous passwords or variations of them up to the specified number of passwords. |
The Export dialog has been updated to make the cancel and download buttons easier to find and access at the top of the dialog after clicking to export. |
The dialog for editing an account's default view as an administrator has been improved to clearly distinguish between the user-set vs. administrator-set default view when one of these has been set. |
Data labels now support scrolling text that does not fit within their set size when their Overflow property is set to show scrollbars. |
It is now possible to select and copy to the clipboard various text values displayed on the administration homepage. |
Each column in a table visualization can now be assigned a distinct border below its column header. |
A new Hatching 'brush' type is available for various properties of visualizations, components, and filters, to fill an area with repeating lines at the specified angle. |
Use the new Variance Scenarios section of the Data Analysis Panel's Visualization tab for tables and charts to automatically calculate and generate pre-configured columns of charts or aligned charts displaying the absolute and relative variances between the values you choose. |
For a Waterfall chart, the new Variance Scenarios section will automatically configure the chart as a variance waterfall displaying incremental changes between the base bar and total result bar you choose. |
The new Password Minimum Age configuration setting can be set to prevent a user's password from being changed multiple times within the specified time period. |
A message is now displayed to confirm that exported content set up to be delivered by email or another method has been sent. |
Press shift+A to quickly open or collapse the Labels window in reports. |
Support has been added for changes made in PostgreSQL 15 to ensure new application and warehouse databases can be created. |
The main menu has been redesigned to provide new workflows for finding and managing files such as dashboards, reports, metric sets, and data cubes. |
A message is now displayed when deploying an instance if the SQL Server compatibility level corresponds to a version lower than the system requirements. |
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 is now the minimum required version when using Microsoft SQL Server for Managed Dashboard and Managed Report application and warehouse databases (this change does not affect connecting to Microsoft SQL Server as a data source). If you are using a database created in an earlier version, the database compatibility level may also need to be changed to 140 or higher. |
