Key updates include:
StoryTeller enhancements:
We have added new map icons representing UK regions and London city areas. These icons are available in both “Icon/Shape” and “Dynamic Icon/Shape.”
CrossTable tool
We have implemented a change in the CrossTable Tool regarding the calculation of the Total column when Hierarchy filters (H-filters) are used as splits.
Change of Behavior:
The Total column dynamically adapts to the "user total" as defined by their H-filter access rights, resulting in potentially different values for different users.
New Behavior for Total Column: When Hierarchy filters (H-filters) are moved to splits, the Total column now reflects the “user total,” which includes only those nodes the user can access.
Previous Behavior: Previously, once H-filters were used as splits, they stopped acting as filters, leading the Total column to show the full “project total.”
User-Specific Totals: Because the Total column now depends on user permissions, different users may see different totals within the same workbook.
Note: This change will affect all existing saved tables that include a Total, meaning that any calculation involving the Total will be updated, and values may differ from previous calculations.
Data Connectivity
Importing Languages from Forsta Surveys
Multilingual Survey Import in Forsta Visualizations:
You can now import all languages into Forsta Visualizations. This setup is similar to importing multiple languages from Forsta Plus. The default language will be designated as the Main language during the import process and Forsta Visualizations will use this Main language as the primary language for reporting.
Forsta Surveys as source of truth for data:
A new feature has beed added called "Synchronize Respondents" to ensure your Forsta Visualizations project accurately reflects changes in imported survey data. This feature automatically removes respondents who have been deleted from the survey or whose status has changed to exclude them from reporting.
