View Underlying Data Enhancement for Related Tables

So far when you create a report using multiple tables, you will be able to view the underlying data of the tables separately. Zoho Analytics has now enhanced this feature in such a way that when you access the View Underlying Data option, the data from all the related tables will be joined and displayed as a single table. This will be of great use to those who wish to view the joined data in a single shot. 

Before this update:

The below screenshot highlights how the data tables used to be listed separately in the View Underlying Data. You need to select each of the table seperately to view the underlying data of that table.

What's New in Zoho Analytics - 2017

After this update:

By default the View Underlying Data displays the data from the base table joined with the columns from the related table. You can also access the tables individually to view the underlying data.

In the below screenshot the Employee and Related tables (ie.. the Employee and the Department table) is selected by default. If you wish to view the data pertaining to the Department table alone, you can do so by selecting Department from the View Data from dropdown.

What's New in Zoho Analytics - 2017

While sharing the report you can select the columns that you wish to display under "View Underlying Data" option. Refer Sharing and Collaboration to learn more.

In the user interface, you can also choose to Show/Hide the columns as you wish using the Show/Hide icon as highlighted below.

Improvements in the Lookup Column Feature

We are rolling out a few enhancements to the lookup column feature to further enhance its usability. 

Specify data type for lookup column: Users can now change the datatype of the lookup column. Until now, the child column will share the data type of the parent column. With this update, you can set a specific data type for the child column. You can change the data type of the lookup column using the Edit Design option in the table.

What's New in Zoho Analytics - 2017

Support for Default and Mandatory Values: You can now specify Default and Mandatory values for a lookup column. You can do this using the Edit Design option in the table.

What's New in Zoho Analytics - 2017

Lookup column over a looked up column: You can now make a looked up column (in the parent table) to also be a lookup column referring to another table (grandparent). This feature was not supported until now.

Behavior change - Action on deleting values in a lookup column: From now on when you create a lookup column, by default no action will be taken on the child column upon deleting the values in the corresponding parent column. 

Until now Zoho Analytics provided options to delete the values in the child column when you delete the values in the corresponding parent column. This option has been removed with this update as it was found to be less frequently used and had high performance overhead. For users who have already been using this option, we will continue to support it. However, we would like to emphasize on the fact that "Delete the corresponding values in the child column" option will not be supported for the new lookup columns that you create henceforth.

Timeline Filter for Dashboards

Zoho Analytics has introduced a new type of user filter named Timeline FilterThis feature allows you to create a common Date/Period user filters that can be applied on all reports in the dashboard. This user filter is different from the other filters, as it is not tightly bound to any (date) column in a table.

With this timeline filter you will be able to setup a common Date/Period user filter independent of the tables on which the reports have been created.When you use the timeline filter in a dashboard, Zoho Analytics will apply the criteria on all reports, matching it with the best possible date column associated with the report. By default, if the report has a date column, it will filter using it. The matching date columns can also be customized. Since this is a common period filter, you can setup only one timeline filter in a dashboard
