We’re bringing in the new decade with one of our biggest releases, including an array of features focused on next generation Dashboard Maintenance and Development tools. We’re continuing to improve end user experience with the ability to produce fully customized PDF reports. And we’ve pushed the performance envelope by introducing an embedded Binary API. For details on the new development tools visit our Source Control Management Document.
Highlights
• Source Control Management
Integration with GIT and Perforce. Conveniently Check-in/out, diff history within the AMI web based dashboard builder.
• Multi-file Linker
Dashboards can now be comprised of multiple files meaning components can be logically separated for independent management/version control.
• Abstraction
Functionality can be marked volatile and overridden in another file, allowing for dashboard designers to abstract out functionality for custom implementation.
• Refactoring Tool
Components can safely be renamed and/or moved between files. The tool automatically updates and moves dependencies as necessary with naming conflict resolution.
• Dashboard File Stabilization
Changes to a dashboard result in minimum/localized changes to the underlying file. Components can be set to defaults to avoid noisy/unintended changes.
• PDF Reports
Now, in addition to Excel and text, AMI supports PDF generation. Documents can include any combination of tables, charts, images, text, and more.
• Object Browser
A new tool for viewing/searching across all “objects” inside currently loaded layouts. These include panels, data models and relationships.
• Unbounded Integer and Decimal Types
Support for very large numbers used in scientific applications.
