You can display dates within the tile widget, select box widget or the table widget. The chart widgets (time series, categorical, XY scatter) can also be used to show dates along the axes. You can use the new date display formats in any of these areas.
General improvements and bug fixes
- Values in tiles now obey your text alignment settings when you enable conditional formatting or select a vertical layout.
- If there are more than 1,000 options in a list, the select box widget will display all of them.
- You can now expect the X-axis and Y-axis ranges to work correctly when you set them for an XY scatter chart.
- If you duplicate an XY scatter chart, it will retain any filters you set up.
- The categorical chart now obeys the settings for area fill opacity and series line widths.
- Data points with no data don't display anything if you hover over them.
- If you copy a dashboard, it'll keep the name you give it (instead of reverting to the name of the original).
- When you set a table column to zero pixels' width, the text won't overflow.
- Categorical charts that have category limits but don't have a series set won't prevent your dashboard from loading.
Highlights from the last dashboard builder update
Last time around we announced:
- More properties for the tile widget to add more flexibility for how you'd like to display it
