Introducing Variables Feature in Zoho Reports

Zoho Reports has introduced a new feature called  Variables . Variables are placeholders that helps database administrators/owners to assign  dynamic values for individual users of the database . 

You can use these variables as a part of the  Sharing filter criteria  to filter reports dynamically based on the user who has logged in. You can currently use variables in Sharing Filter criteria. We plan to support variables in features such as user filters, formulas etc. very soon. 

You can create and manage variables from the  Variables  tab in the Settings page.  Click here to know more .

Support for Bubble Charts

We have introduced a new " Bubble Chart " type into  Zoho Reports charting library. Bubble charts can be  really useful if you want to visualize your data highlighting the magnitude/weightage of a data point  with sizing. You can  use  a bubble chart wherever a Scatter plot is used, with scatters points being replaced by bubbles. The size of the bubble will be determined by the data column dropped in the new  Size  shelf of the Chart designer.

Note:  This chart type is available only in the " New Charts " library  which was released for  public beta testing recently .
