New in this Release

New Chart Type: Analysis Filter A new type of filter chart is being introduced, the "Analysis Filter", which is designed to behave like filter controls typically seen on shopping websites: when no categories are checked, all data (that hasn't been removed by a Removal Filter) is visible, and when a single category is clicked, only that category is visible. This is exactly equivalent to a select category/exclude unselected sequence, and can be overridden by a Restore Excluded operation. The list of categories shown in an Analysis Filter dimension is adjusted dynamically: categories that are not available due to Removal Filter settings are removed, and categories that are hidden by exclusions and by other Analysis Filter settings are shown in gray. Note that checking or un-checking a category in an Analysis Filter overrides any exclusions and selections done in the graphical charts.

The combination of Analysis Filter settings on multiple dimensions can provide a quick-glance overall record of the data being analyzed.

Removal Instead of Text Filter The former "Text Filter" charts are now referred to as "Removal Filters" because they remove categories of data from consideration in any other charts.

Maps for European Cities Additional background images for Maps of the largest European and British cities have been added to the built-in list.

Defects Corrected Several software defects have been repaired, including:

  • Map image aspect ratio is now preserved even when saved while drilled-in.

  • Data Sheets and Summary Sheets can now be saved with horizontal zoom in effect.

  • Large projects load faster in ADVIZOR Server AE and Desktop Navigator.

  • Projects saved from release 7.3.1 re-open correctly in 7.4.

  • Projects with only Filter edits prompt for save.

Known Problems and Hints

  • Note: the Internet Explorer browser is not fully compatible with this GitBook documentation publishing site (which you're currently reading), so please be sure to use an up-to-date browser, such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

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

Technical Support

  • Your name & contact information, including phone number

  • An error report copied or emailed from the Error Reporter dialog

  • A detailed explanation of what you were doing that led up to the problem

  • Screen shot(s) and/or exact text of any error information

If the Error Reporter is not available, please be sure to provide:

  • The name of the product you are using and its complete version number (from File>About, e.g., "ADVIZOR Analyst/X 64-bit, Version: 7.4.0.0")

  • Your license key used to install the product (also displayed in the About box)

  • A copy of the file "error.log" from the directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ADVIZOR Solutions\<product name>. (Replace <product name> with Analyst or AnalystX, etc. as applicable.) Note that AppData is a hidden directory by default.

Other information that could be useful for debugging the issue:

  • Your computer's System Information file, created from the "System Information" desktop app, saved as type ".nfo"

  • Related events from the Windows Application Event Log in .evt format so that we get the detailed event descriptions

  • If you're having a database access problem, submit all relevant DB information, including DB vendor, DB version, whether the DB is local or remote, whether or not you are able to access the DB using vendor or third party supplied query tools, etc.

  • Call the ADVIZOR Solutions Technical Support line during business hours (9:00 AM - 5:30 PM Central time, Monday - Friday) at +1.630.971.5280
