| Yellowfin BI 7.1 - build 20170202 |
| Yellowfin 7.1 update |
| Published: 8 February, 2017 |
Enhancement: 4
773 - Added ability to allow users to access administration page with cross site scripting.
604 - Added ability to allow default value of parameters to now be edited after activation. There is also a new option for parameters in the formatting menu. 'view default' option can be set to ensure that the value is reflective of the view's update default value of the parameter. This must be used in conjunction with the option 'remember filter values' being turned off for the view default values to not be overridden by it.
595 - Added restriction to no longer filter associated reports when run on dashboard.
506 - Applying an advanced function will no longer remove conditional formatting, but it is very likely to not be relevant any longer, since the data in the column will probably be different and won't match the existing rules.
Resolved Issues: 8
215 - Fixed default to be off when changing charts for 'Hide Negative Prefix' option.
208 - Fixed database deadlock in view builder when removing tables.
96 - Fixed an issue pertaining to the upgrade from v7.1 to v7.2 that would cause a fault to happen.
89 - Fixed server side validation for creating restricted report types such as Freehand SQL/MDX/etc.
76 - Fixed an error occurring when the 'hide negative value' option is used on a scatter plot charts.
497 - Fixed issues with print formatting not rendering conditional formatting correctly.
403 - Fixed issue with report format rows being removed automatically in some situation.
377 - Fixed issue with dimension conditional format where text alert has trailing space would cause the alert to not be applied.
