Vista 2.2 – Great new features!

Building on Vista’s extensive analytical and data visualization capabilities, release 2.2 adds the following features:

Dundas Charting - Vista 2.2 features a new charting package and increased flexibility for publishers. Charting types include:

• Pie / 3D pie
• Bar / 3D bar / Stacked bar
• Column / 3D column / Stacked column

Publishers can choose the default chart type as well as which chart types to make available to end-users.

• Totals (on any number of dimensions)

These calculations can be easily enabled or disabled from Vista Manager.

End-user saved reports are optional - Administrators can configure Vista so users must login but are not able to save reports.

Multiple Administrators - Vista 2.2 allows multiple administrators - level accounts to be created.

Enhanced help - Vista 2.2 features a new easier to use help format that is also context sensitive.

Link to a Vista Report - A Vista report view can now be launched from any website through a link. This functionality allows publishers an option to the Vista reports front-end for launching reports.
