Zoho Reports - New features rolled out on July 17, 2013

With this update Zoho Reports is enhanced with the following new features.

Enhanced Dashboard Export support

Zoho Reports now allows you to choose among 2 layout options, that suits you, when exporting the Dashboard as PDF.  The options are:


Layout as in Dashboard

As name suggests, the dashboard will be exported retaining the layout of views as laid out in the dashboard design. 

Note that this method of PDF export is optimized for dashboards that contain charts alone. It could fail when you have tabular views in the dashboard, in which case the next layout option is recommended.

Each Report in New Page

Dashboard will be exported in a single column layout displaying each report in a new page in the PDF. 

This type provides the following additional benefits. 

  • Supports exporting dashboard containing tabular views with large data.
  • Supports adding a Table of Content.
  • Supports adding Header and Footer.
  • Supports customizing the language.
  • Supports more sizes for the exported PDF.
  • Supports displaying filter criteria applied in the dashboard level and in the reports level.


Synchronize Zoho CRM Analytics Data Instantly


For users of Zoho CRM Analytics Add-on, so far Zoho CRM data will be synchronized into Zoho Reports ones every day at a preset time. Now, Zoho Reports allows the user to sync the data instantly whenever needed.  You can also fetch data instantly from Zoho CRM five times a day when needed.  

With this update you will also be able to view the data synchronization status from the Zoho CRM Analytics reporting database from within Zoho Reports. 


Custom Range and Interval support for more Charts

Previously, the custom range and interval support is available in line, scatter and area chart with single Y-axis alone. Now this is supported for Bar, Stacked, Combination and Stacked Area charts.
