New in this Release

Automated Table Export The Adv2Advm command-line utility has been enhanced to allow specifying tables and column subsets of tables to be exported in CSV format at the end of the project update process. A primary intended use of this feature would be to allow ADVIZOR project calculations to be loaded into a custom data warehouse or used in other reporting contexts. For more details, see the Implementation Guide.

Goal Lines on Spineplots The ability to display Goal Lines on Bar Charts has been extended to Spineplot mode, where Goal Lines can be set at 0 to 100% of full selection. The buttons for selecting above or below the goal apply to bars relative to their currently selected subset percentage.

Zoombar Usability Improvements The appearance of Zoombars in the desktop applications has been adjusted to ensure that the central scroll handle remains larger than the zoom handles on either end, which have been reduced slightly.

For Data Sheet and Summary Sheet charts, the vertical Zoombars have been restricted by default to prevent zooming out to the graphical line representation smaller than readable text.

Salesforce.com Connector Updated The Salesforce.com data source connection has been updated to work with recent changes by Salesforce.

New User Interface The new visual style introduced in ADVIZOR Server AE and in ADVIZOR Analyst for release 7.0 has been extended to include the chart-specific toolbars and the look of their buttons.

Defects Corrected Several software defects have been repaired, including:

• Graphical sizing and alignment issues on high-resolution (scaled) displays.

• Data Sheet and Summary Sheet export can overwrite an existing filename.

• Expression errors for literal strings equal to field names and field names starting with “link”.

• An ADVM project created by automated update can be edited and re-saved.

• Error message on applying a Color Bin to an inappropriate field simplified.

Known Problems and Hints

• "LargeChange" error reported if Text Filter chart made too short.

• Summary Sheets show too many decimal places for Average and Ratio columns.

• See the ADVIZOR Implementation Guide for instructions on how to upgrade ADVIZOR Server from an earlier version.
