Release 4.3.4

CXO-Cockpit 4.3.4 release notes
As of release 4.3.4 we are introducing the
concept of Linked Objects and the new
user role of Report Builder. These two
new functionalities are closely related to
each other and allow you to create and
maintain reports in a more flexible and
efficient way.
1. Linked Objects
Let’s start with Linked Objects Concept:
Have you ever considered cleaning up
your report lists, because there appears
to be too many?
As often happens, some of the lists are
only used in a particular report and never
come in handy again. A vivid example can
be a report within Multiple Bars & Lines
template. For such a report, you might
need to create 6 lists for the bars and 6
lists for the lines. At the same time, you
might need to create a particular format
for the bars and for the lines. Very often
these lists and formats will be used only
within this report and overcrowd the
Maintain Lists menu.
Linked Objects Concept allows to create
private objects, which are linked to a
particular report. By linked objects we
mean lists, drill lists and formats.
Create a User Group with the Report Builder role
These objects will not be found in public
maintenance menus, such as Maintain
Lists, unless necessary.
Once the report is deleted, these objects
will be gone as well. If required, linked
objects can be made public. In this case
the Administrator publishes the linked
objects.
This concept helps you to keep your main
Maintain Lists menu in order and
facilitates the report maintenance
process.
In the Report Parameters Panel an additional button
‘Linked lists’ is available for Report Builder
2. Report Builder
The other new functionality, available as
of release 4.3.4 is closely related to the
Linked Objects. It is the new user role of
Report Builder. We have added this role
to the already existing Administrator and
Viewer user roles.
The special feature behind the Report
Builder role is that they can only build
reports by either reusing public objects or
creating their own linked objects. The
Administrators will further decide if they
want to make Report Builder’s reports
and linked objects available to the wider
user audience.
While the Report Builder can fully
concentrate on creating reports,
Administrator can be busy with other
important CXO-Cockpit activities such as
report maintenance, security and
integration management.
