New Features rolled out on Feb 21, 2023

Overview Effect for Charts



To visualize reports with large data sets, Zoho Analytics has enhanced charts with new interactive options: the overview and scroll bar effects. These enable you to plot large data on a chart to get a clear picture of the peaks and troughs in your data. 


The overview effect adds an overall preview chart (also known as an overview chart) to the bottom of a chart. It allows you to select a region to focus on a particular data range on the chart, for more in-depth analysis. 


Dynamic and more interactive scroll charts can now be used to replace filters, which are traditionally used in reports with large data sets. This enables you to easily compare data by moving the slider or scroll bar.


Image Support for KPI Widgets



We now support displaying images as part of your KPI widgets on your dashboard. 


Adding images for your KPIs helps viewers grasp information more quickly. They also enhance the appearance of your dashboards. 


Preset User Filters for Dashboards 



Now you can define a preset/predefined filters for your dashboard by combining multiple user filters. This eliminates the mundane task of clicking and selecting values from multiple user filters every time—and you can setup multiple preset filters, too!

Support to Include/exclude User Filter Values



User filters for all reports now allow you to include or exclude selected items from the user filter values. So far you could only include items but not exclude.

Import Data from Digital Ocean

Zoho Analytics has expanded the data import sources by including connectivity to Digital Ocean platform.

Securely Import Data from Sources with SSL Certificates 



To provide a secure data import option from your local databases, Zoho Analytics now allows you to import data using SSL certificates for local databases. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a digital certificate that secures the transport of information between web servers and clients by establishing an encrypted connection. 


Enhancements in DataPrep

Zoho DataPrep has been enhanced with the following features:

Duplicate Workspaces

Now, while copying workspaces, DataPrep rule sets that was applied over the source workspace will also be copied. 


Import Settings Update



Now you can use data settings like delimiter separator, and skip top rows, while using DataPep to cleanse data. Previously these options would be disabled. 


Analytics Portal: Support for Three-level Menus



Analytics portals now support adding pages with three-level hierarchy menus. 


Associate Views for Shared Users and Viewers



Shared users and viewers can now access only views that are explicitly shared with them. To make the process easy, Zoho Analytics now prompts admins to associate views when they add users. You can associate views to the user in read-only mode as well as associate groups to grant access to all views shared to the group with the same permission.


Enhancements for Email Schedules 



To enable you to manage email schedules more easily, Zoho Analytics now allows you to add 100 users in a single email schedule setup. 


However, the email schedule count for pricing will be calculated based on the number of users added in these schedules. Each 25 users in a schedule will be considered 1 schedule. You can view the schedules consumed by each email schedule from the Edit Email Schedule page.
