Inforiver Matrix offers a no-code, intuitive interface that enables users to insert aggregated rows, custom row hierarchies, calculated rows, and even forecast rows directly in the visual. The robust row-management feature now comes packaged with a filter that allows users to quickly locate different types of rows.
Inforiver Matrix provides the flexibility to input values in Excel and seamlessly import them into the visual. This option, which was previously supported only for data input number fields, has now been extended to all data input types.
Using the import utility is as simple as selecting the measure to input values for > downloading the Excel template > entering values directly in Excel, and import the template back into the Inforiver Matrix visual.
Inforiver Matrix delivers efficient hierarchy handling with the template rows option - insert custom rows automatically at each level of the hierarchy at one shot, without having to insert them individually. You now have additional control over which levels to create template rows in. Click the configure link in the Template conditions section. You can directly select the row categories by selecting the Simple radio button or specify filter conditions by selecting the Advanced option.
Inforiver Writeback Matrix provides a platform for multiple teams or departments to collaborate on reports, e.g., to update budgets and forecasts or update project/approval status. A comprehensive audit log is essential to ensure accountability, data integrity, and regulatory compliance. In this release, we've completely re-hauled the audit log to make it more streamlined and easier to use.
The audit log has been redesigned from a side pane to a full-page, spreadsheet-style view—complete with filters and dropdowns—making it easier to track and manage audits. The Data Input tab, as the name implies, captures all the changes made to data input fields.
View the report-level changes in the Reports tab.
In the table layout, the aggregated row subtotals for each parent dimension category are suppressed by default; however, these rows were being considered while calculating the overall number of rows. In the latest version, the subtotal rows that are not displayed will not be counted when calculating the total number of rows.
Notice how the total number of rows is different in the Hierarchy layout where subtotals are enabled.
The formula bar has been optimized for better usability. In earlier versions, unintentionally clicking a cell would automatically create a cell reference. Cell references will now be created only if it is the first item in a formula or preceded by an arithmetic operator. Users need to explicitly click inside the formula bar to create cell references. The erase button can be used to reset the cell to its original value.
The latest version of Inforiver Writeback Matrix supports configuring approval workflows for reports that do not have column dimensions.
You can now use Inforiver's built-in date and time intelligence functions to display measures over a specific range of time. Select the Date Functions options in the Show/Hide measures interface.
The My Tasks pane will now display tasks assigned to users that are not resolved. Users can view other tasks with the filter button, but unresolved tasks will be displayed by default, helping users easily identify and address them on priority.
