NEW SCHEDULER, EXPORT IMPROVEMENTS, AND USER EXPERIENCE ENHANCEMENTS 

CXO Software Version 21.3 provides improvements in screen usage for tables in free format reports. Also included is the ability to schedule data loads in OneStream. Previously, the data loads had to be triggered manually.Highlights 4 provides new updates and functionality to help you better utilize your data and reduce manual efforts. This release introduces new scheduling enhancements, export upgrades, and user experience improvements for a more responsive, streamlined look and feel. Highlights of this release include:

• Horizontal table expansion (including freezing of row headers)
• OneStream scheduler

Horizontal table expansion

Pre-21.3, a table control in a free format report could be automatically expanded vertically, but not horizontally. This would lead to situations like the screenshot below. The data in the table aren't fully visible, despite there being space to the right side of the control. This could already be addressed by resizing the control via CXO Designer, but then the same issue would occur if a user would drill into a column.

As a solution, CXO version 21.3 introduces the horizontal table expansion option. This functionality works in the same way as vertical table expansion. By selecting a control setting in CXO Designer, a report builder can indicate whether a table in a free format report should horizontally expand. If this is selected a table will expand horizontally until all data are displayed. Adjacent controls might be repositioned as part of this expansion process. If the report becomes wider than the screen due to the horizontal table expansion, a horizontal scrollbar on the report level will be used to make all content accessible.

When upgrading to 21.3, tables in existing free format reports are by default unaffected by this feature; they have horizontal growth switched off.

The introduction of the horizontal report scrollbar can cause row headers to fall off screen. To prevent this from happening, CXO version 21.3 introduces the freezing of row headers. This functionality works the same as the freezing of column headers. Once the row headers would disappear, they 'stick' to the left side of the screen.

OneStream Scheduler

Customers who used OneStream as their source system encountered process challenges as data loads had to be manually triggered. As it could not be expected to do this in the middle of the night, users had to start their day triggering the data loads and then waiting for it to complete. To gain efficiency in this process, CXO Version 21.3 has implemented a feature which is also used in other adapter: data load scheduling. It is now possible to schedule data loads at any time of the day. For instance, by scheduling the data jobs at night, a user who would originally have to start the day running the data load can now immediately start working with refreshed data.

CXO VERSION 21.3 CHANGE LOG

• OneStream scheduler
• SSAS Tabular Model displays friendly names
• Horizontal growth in tables
• Export improvements

OneStream Scheduler

Easier Data Extraction 

Version 21.4 introduces the OneStream scheduler to help minimize manual processes. You can now schedule data extraction on set days and times rather than manually starting extractions. This creates a more convenient process for users and ensures their data is current.

SSAS Tabular Model: Display aliases

Automatically Show Aliases on Reports

With CXO version 21.4, you can now more easily identify fields with the automatic inclusion of aliases on reports. The SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular model will now display aliases on reports instead of the technical member name. This update offers a more convenient user experience and will save time for future reporting as you no longer need to change the technical member names by entering custom descriptions in CXO. For example, CXO will show “Revenue” instead of “a1000” for a revenue account.

Horizontal Growth in tables

Make Better Use of Your Screen Space 

CXO now allows horizontal growth based on content for free-format table controls. This enhancement provides an improved user experience by growing your tables horizontally to create a more streamlined look and feel.

Export improvements

Improved Readability 

To improve readability for exported tables with extended data, version 21.4 of CXO includes an update that reduces the amount of white space in PDF exports. This enhancement also ensures that exports will fit better in PowerPoint presentations.
