Known Problems and Hints
Technical Support
New User Interface
The layout and icons of the ADVIZOR Analyst applications have been significantly updated with a new, more modern look that matches ADVIZOR Server AE. Menus have been re-designed as "ribbons", with icons grouped to focus more on related tasks. The Getting Started experience has been improved with more up-to-date guidance and feedback opportunities. Zoom bars on charts are hidden when charts are not active to reduce visual clutter.
New Help System
Help has been moved to the Internet to consolidate it with the various other documentation sources. It has been indexed by user role as well as by function, with better integration of introductory videos, and better search capabilities.
New Map Chart
An enhanced map chart allows you to automatically drill into data for selected regions with just a click or two. Start with cities plotted on a U. S. map, for instance. Select Atlanta, click the drill-in button, and see the map instantly change to the Atlanta metropolitan map.
Improvements to Project Editing
Project editing has been significantly improved to support renaming tables and fields, and editing expressions and links, while ensuring project consistency. Table Copy links can now be created with customized naming of the destination fields. An ADV project can now be loaded and edited even if file data sources are not available.

Quality has been improved for PDF export of project pages.
Vertica ODBC driver is now supported.
