Fixes

Web Client

Data Model Designer
  • Fixed a French translation error in the Performance tab located in the Data Model Properties
  • An Invalid Format error could occur if the Datetime field was set to h:mm:ss tt format when saving a Data Model

 

View
  • Fixed French translation for the label Defer Update Mode: Some functionality has been disabled in Worksheets. When enabled, this feature allows you to make changes to the Worksheet without affecting the result. Usually, when the user changes the layout by moving a Dimension or Pivot, the result gets refreshed immediately.
  • When applying a Filter on the External Links of a View coming from a Cube, a wrong Slice was selected and led to wrong values
  • Fixed the Dimensions and Measures window: When adjusting the size of this window, using the arrow to close (retract) the window was not working.

 

Report
  • There was a bad alignment regarding the result in the Total row: instead of being placed to the right, the numbers were placed to the left
  • When exporting a Report to PDF format, special characters were not displayed correctly

 

Dashboard
  • Instead of acting as a Filter, the Filtering Panels whose Type was set to Free Text behaved like a Prompt
  • Filters in the header were not visible when printing/exporting /distributing, no matter the format

 

Upgrading
  • To update the Central Point, the user could click on the Confirm button without having to tick the I agree checkbox in relation to the terms of the agreement

 

Excel Add-in

OLAP Manager

  • There was an error when refreshing Description type cubes with the tracking set to Triggers: Duplicated rows were created if there was the NULL value in the Description field

Packaging

User Interface
  • The labels were not displayed correctly

 

Extractions

  • When doing a Truncate and Load or Preview Data action on Sage Intacct, an error could occur if a Field in the Source and Destination connection was set to the INT64 data type
  • Even if a semi-colon was set as value for the Custom Delimiter field, the Extraction to a Flat File destination type always used the comma as the value
  • When performing an Extraction and generating a file using the Flat File destination, performing a new Extraction was adding data to the existing file instead of overwriting it
  • When importing a template for Migration extraction type, saving the Extraction first was required before applying a Filter on Tables
  • Migration extraction type using the Update and Insert feature in the Data Loading Mode field was still considered and read as Update only in this field
  • When performing a Consolidation extraction type, an error could occur if the same Unique Identifier was used to retrieve data from multiple companies
  • Adding SQL Queries in Tables generated an error with the ODBC connector (Sage 100 Standard (ProvideX))
