Update: On August 25th, 2023 the enhancements below were released. Check out the announcement post in our What's new in Ardoq page.
Upcoming next:
Reference-based operators.
Retirement of the old version of Advanced search which continues to be available in the Report builder. We will let you know a retirement date in advance.
We are soon releasing some dynamic enhancements to Reports to allow for improved performance and more extensive reporting capabilities:
Introducing a new version of Advanced search
Soon the Report Builder will support two Advanced search options: an upgraded version and the original one, ensuring a seamless transition. This upgrade is just the first step towards the forthcoming addition of the reference-based operators into the new Advanced search. These upcoming operators will enable you to effectively find components based on references to other components or component types using Advanced search.
Through the initial release of the new version of Advanced search, you will be able to:
Search your data with greater precision: The “contains substring” operator will search the entire field value, going beyond the old version's 50-character limitation.
Enjoy improved flexibility and discoverability: The "contains phrase" and “does not contain phrase” operators are not available in the new version of Advanced search. Instead you can use the “contains substring” and “does not contain substring” operators to get similar yet more accurate and comprehensive search results.
👉 Please note that search results might change as “contains substring” is more flexible and matches any instance of the specified substring within the content. Learn more about the difference between “contains phrase” and “contains substring” in this KB article.
In time, we will retire the old Advanced search and with it the “contains phrase” operator will also be discontinued. Once they are retired:
Existing reports using the old Advanced search will be automatically switched over to the latest version. Reports employing any operator except for "contains phrase" and "does not contain phrase" will remain unchanged.
Existing reports using the “contains phrase” and “does not contain phrase” operators will be automatically switched over to use “contains substring” and “does not contain substring” respectively.
All new reports created with the new version of Advanced search will remain intact.
👉 We strongly recommend switching existing reports over to the latest Advanced search version and opting for the "contains substring" operator where it is relevant to be ready for the eventual retirement of “contains phrase”. We will provide additional details closer to the date.
Enhanced Report Snapshots for Speedier Dashboard Loading
We are soon changing the way in which we create report snapshots for enhanced dashboard performance. With this change, Line and Stacked Bar charts will:
Exhibit improved performance and load data faster
Display the same color for current and historical field values
Display field data from the day they were added to the report. Rest assured, this change will not lead to any loss of data in your dashboards.
