ibi™ WebFOCUS® 9.2 ins and outs – Porter Thorndike

Porter Thorndike supported the audience in grasping and discovering the newest and best of WebFOCUS® 9.2. This session contributed to the understanding of how the latest features can help your enterprise stay agile, up-to-date, and highly competitive! Here are the topics he covered during his session powered with a LIVE demonstration and in-depth explanation.

White Labeling

The latest addition allows users to customize WebFOCUS to match the appearance and feel of their firm. Colors, logos, browser tab titles, and favicons may all be readily changed by users. Not only can users download a color template to easily adjust all colors in a text editor, but they can also share it with UI designers and then import the new file. Remember to work on improvements privately before publicizing them to the full organization.

Complex Filter Expressions

The new WebFOCUS Designer UI allows the user to customize the filter expression when including static filters to a visualization. Using drag and drop and other familiar tools aids in organizing, grouping, and configuring the expression to meet the needs of the users. Comparatively, it is now simple to adjust AND/OR conditions for all items within a group, including nesting groups within each other for more sophisticated filter expressions.

Authoring Content

Designer reporting users can now create CSV or Tab-Delimited output with or without column titles from the format menu. This facilitates the extraction of subsets of data on-demand and their download directly from the browser for use elsewhere. Aside from that, text box objects are now available in Document Mode for use as labels or informational text to supplement the charts, reports, and images.

In Document mode, new Output Formats are also available, enabling users to generate documents in browser-based In-Document Analytic or HTML format, or as a PowerPoint presentation. The default formatting for pie charts with all zero values can now be customized, including the ability to apply this design if filters or data changes result in all zero values for the pie chart.

Designer Pages

This new feature enables users to define pagination within dropdown controls for filters, as well as the number of items to include on the page. To rapidly pick dates, show predetermined date ranges or just calendars in calendar controls. Authors can now specify the beginning day of the week in the calendar control options. Javascript validation has been added to the Custom Javascript editor and the outline tree. Any errors detected will notify the author, making the development process smoother and less error-prone. Authors of Interactions can now put more advanced conditions on tasks, allowing them even more control over how and when an Interaction runs. Interactions can now execute a Javascript function written in the custom Javascript editor for on-demand form validation, complicated runtime functionality, and more.
