Analytical Designer: Delete Insights Used on Dashboards and in Drilling

Analytical Designer now allows you to delete insights that are used on Dashboards (Free, Growth) and KPI Dashboards (Enterprise).

Previously, such insights had to be removed from these dashboards or drilling first. Now, you can delete them and they are removed automatically.

Life Cycle Management: Customize Number Format in Client Workspaces

The provisioning brick and the rollout brick, which are part of the Life Cycle Management (LCM) feature, now support the option for setting up a custom number format per client workspace.

For example, you can set up different currency codes for client workspaces with data from different countries (USD for the clients operating in the USA, EUR for the clients operating in Germany, and so on).

To set up a custom number format, use the metric_format parameter when scheduling the provisioning brick and/or the rollout brick.

Multiple Domain Administrators

You can now have more than one domain administrator for your domain. This gives you more flexibility when managing your domain (for example, you can have multiple domain administrators to cover different time zones; or, you do not lose access to your domain if the credentials of the domain administrator are lost).

We recommend that you use this option carefully. Among other things, a domain administrator manages the whole domain and its properties such as white-labeling settings and CORS settings, can add/delete users to/from the domain and change their various properties.

Renaming "Project" to "Workspace"

In an effort to simplify naming conventions, we are consolidating usage of the following terms:

  • Project
  • Workspace

Both terms have been used to denote a single entity.

Starting from September 9, 2021:

  • Throughout the GoodData platform UI, you will only work with the term workspace.
  • When interacting with the APIs (directly or via the gray pages), you will continue to use the term project to prevent any impact on existing implementations.

You can opt out temporarily by contacting GoodData Support.

How does it affect you?

All changes that are implemented in the GoodData platform UI are backward-compatible and should not impact existing implementations. For example, your embedding links will continue to work even if they still have "project" in the URL.

The term "project" will stay native to the APIs and gray pages.

REMINDER: End-of-Support of Internet Explorer 11

How does it affect you?

ACTION REQUIRED!

In preparation for the end-of-support, switch to one of our supported browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.

REMINDER: Use TLS Version 1.2 or Higher Only

Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.0 and 1.1 is deprecated and will end in one of future releases. We will announce the exact date as soon as it is set.

How will this affect you?
All modern web browsers and programming languages already support the newer versions of TLS (1.2 and higher). Unless you use obsolete software or unsupported systems, you are not affected.

You may be affected if you are using an older version of the libraries or programming languages in your tools. To verify, check the documentation for your tool:

ACTION REQUIRED!
Make sure that all your components and integrations use TLS version 1.2 or higher.

What will happen if you do not upgrade to the newer versions?
When support for TLS version 1.0 and 1.1 ends, if you do not switch to a newer version of TLS, the integration with the GoodData platform will stop working.
