Hot on the heels of our Cloud BI Platform going live, the Indicee development team has released another update.

Sometimes you have to put the leading edge, “Changing the BI World” stuff on the back burner, and put your head down on some day to day features. As Indicee finds it’s way into larger customers and as existing customers begin to depend on it for daily operations, features that worked well with dozens of reports and dashboards become a little awkward with hundreds.

Our report and dashboard list view was an example. The powerful report and dashboard sharing features in Indicee can result in the number of reports available to a given user becoming quite large. Searching the various list views could become somewhat onerous to find the report or dashboard in question.

Instead of tweaking what we had, the Indicee development team dropped in a completely new report and dashboard browser that will make it’s way into other areas of the product soon. Here are some of the things the new browser can do:

Combines 6 lists into one browser

Instead of searching 6 different lists for Reports and Dashboards based on whether you created, shared or had them shared with you. All reports and dashboards can be seen in one list and filtered based on the ownership you are interested in.

Find your report visually

Reports and Dashboards are visual. Often it’s easier to find what you’re looking for when you see a picture of it. Use the thumbnail view to get a quick visual of the report or dashboard based on the last time it was viewed instead of sifting through pages of titles and descriptions.

Really have a lot of reports?

Customize the table view and adjust the sorting criteria to help you find reports faster. Use the preview pane to see report details before launching the report viewer or editor.

The feedback has already been very positive from customers and especially or solutions teams that often work with large report sets.
