Fixes

Web Client

Dashboard - Distribution - Report - View
  • Regarding the Worksheet Auto Grey Tones feature, when exporting or scheduled for distribution, and there was no group specified on the Worksheet the background color code used was not blank (e.g. white). It was using the grey tone Lv1 instead of the LastLevel which was equal to the #FFFFFF (#FFFFFF is the white color hex) .

 

Data Model
  • Data Model Designer: Adding return carriage were not saved for Calculation and caused issues to create some type of views like KPIs
  • Data Model Parameters: We fixed the overwriting translations behavior by English when pressing Confirm in Manage Data Model Parameters and when logged in another language than English (with User Content Language different than English)
  • Info-Page: We fixed error message "Must specify valid information for parsing in the string" when validating
  • Stored Procedure: The Execute Stored Procedure feature was not working when logging in French

 

Global Scripts
  • Special characters (é and è) were not saved correctly since 9.2

 

Global Variables
  • Global variable could not be validated when the data retrieved was zero
  • Filter was saving the Global Variable value instead of Global Variable ID (e.g.: @@xxx)

 

Prompt
  • There was a filter issue with special character (&, < and >) when picking from Prompt

 

Report
  • There was an export issue if there was a Custom Calcul. More specifically, only the title and the calculated section were displayed (the rest of the report displayed no data)

View
  • KPI / Word Cloud: It was impossible to create Word Cloud and KPI when the first group contained the NULL value
