The latest version of the Reporting Matrix delivers additional formatting and export options, enhancing the readability of your reports and PDF extracts. We've added a new variable type -single select - providing more flexibility in applying filters using variables. We've also introduced additional display settings options that will help you customize the look and feel of your reports.
Variables offer highly interactive visual controls like buttons, checkboxes, and toggle switches, allowing report users to apply filters or run scripts. You can now create single select variables and use the dropdown to drive filters on your data.
When column hierarchies are involved, Inforiver allows you to select a particular level of the hierarchy by right clicking that level and choosing Select column from the context menu.
This feature comes in handy when you need to apply formatting to a particular level of the hierarchy. We've highlighted Q4 for 2023 in yellow.
For time dimensions, the formatting applied for a particular month or quarter will automatically be applied to the same month/quarter in future years, as and when the data becomes available. Select the Apply format to Qtr 4(the qtr or month will change according to your data) option from the format painter dropdown.
Notice how the formatting is automatically applied to 2024 Q4 when the data is available.
The latest version of Reporting Matrix ships with built-in support for first and last aggregation types for row-level aggregation. First and last aggregation is used to capture the starting and final values in trends - for instance, the initial and final revenue.
For First and Last aggregation types, the aggregated parent row will get updated automatically when child rows are re-ordered.
In earlier versions, when a Reporting Matrix report was exported to Excel, manually changing positive numbers to negative numbers would not be reflected in the cells. The negative sign would be displayed only in the toolbar when the cell was clicked. This issue has been rectified in the latest version.
The latest version of the Reporting Matrix brings you word wrap options - specifically intended for reports that are formatted using table functions.
The "Precise" option enables word wrapping, ensuring that overflowing rows are wrapped onto the next line and fully visible in the PDF export. In contrast, the "Auto" option does not apply word wrapping, which may result in truncated data. The highlighted text in the screenshots depicts the difference between Auto and Precise word wrapping.
The canvas rendering option enables fast interactions with the matrix, smooth scrolling, and quick rendering. In earlier versions, users would have to explicitly enable this option. It will be enabled by default in the latest version.
If your reports have row hierarchies, you can now display the number of immediate children under each parent category. Enable the Show Child Count option from display settings.
You can also display the total number of children including the leaf nodes under a parent category. Enable the Show Descendants Count toggle from display settings.
Prerequisite: the Show Child Count option should be enabled.
You can optionally remove the border box that is rendered when a cell/column/row is selected. The border box will not be displayed when the Selection Border toggle is disabled from display settings.
