July 8, 20232 min read

New platform features

Schedule report

Users now have the option to create a recurring tabular report export by clicking on the ellipsis at the top right of a tabular report and selecting Manage Subscriptions. This will open a modal where the users will need to create a subscription and fill in the requisite details like subscribers, frequency of report export, and date-time of report export. Subscribers would be receiving emails with report export at the scheduled time and frequency. To enable this feature, Can change Scheduled Report Export and Can delete Scheduled Report Export permissions need to be added for relevant users.

Platform enhancements

Date range aggregation

Users can now aggregate chart data across a wide range of time periods like Week, Month, Quarter and Year. Users can either select the Created At option, or the date / naive date fields in the X-axis dropdown within the reporting UI, and then select an appropriate aggregation option from the adjacent field.

Enhanced field reporting availability

Users can now report on Process Level attributes like Status, Created At etc., and Step Level attributes like Initiated At, Completed At etc. while creating charts. These options can be accessed from the X-axis dropdown in the UI.
