New Features Single Value Selection Attribute Filters Future Changes Update to GoodData.UI SDK 8.12.1 New FeaturesSingle Value Selection Attribute FiltersAttribute filters in dashboards allow you to filter data using any combination of selected attributes. However, there may be instances when you want to restrict dashboard users to filtering by only one attribute value at a time. To address this need, we are introducing a single value selection option for attribute filters. This feature ensures that users can select only one value at a time when applying filters.Learn More:Filters in DashboardsFuture ChangesUpdate to GoodData.UI SDK 8.12.1We strongly recommend upgrading all your GoodData.UI SDK references to version 8.12.1. We have rectified a critical bug that could potentially cause issues with visualizations in our next release, scheduled two weeks from now. Your prompt action will ensure a seamless transition to the new version.

New Features Single Value Selection Attribute Filters Convert Between Regular Datasets and SQL Datasets Workspace Object ID Generation and Custom Prefixes Bug Fixes and Other Changes Future Changes Update to GoodData.UI SDK 8.12.1 New FeaturesSingle Value Selection Attribute FiltersAttribute filters in dashboards allow you to filter data using any combination of selected attributes. However, there may be instances when you want to restrict dashboard users to filtering by only one attribute value at a time. To address this need, we are introducing a single value selection option for attribute filters. This feature ensures that users can select only one value at a time when applying filters.Learn More:Use Attribute Filters on DashboardsConvert Between Regular Datasets and SQL DatasetsYou can now freely map your datasets back and forth between regular datasets (tied to a specific table or view in your database) and SQL datasets (our version of virtual tables).Please note that at this moment this is a beta feature, and we discourage you from using beta features in production environments.Learn More:Create SQL DatasetsWorkspace Object ID Generation and Custom PrefixesIn our ongoing effort to simplify working with workspace hierarchies, we are introducing the ability to set custom prefixes for individual workspaces. These prefixes will be automatically applied when the server generates an identifier for analytical objects, allowing you to easily identify the workspace from which specific metrics, visualizations, and other analytical objects originate.Also, the server will now automatically generate an ID for new objects when no explicit ID is provided. If a custom prefix has been set for the workspace in which the object is being created, the prefix will be automatically added to the object ID.Learn More:Workspace Object IdentificationBug Fixes and Other Changes Large OIDC ID tokens should no longer trigger the TooLongHttpLineException. We fixed an issue that made it impossible to set dashboard permissions using the /actions/workspaces/:workspaceId/analyticalDashboards/:dashboardId/managePermissions API endpoint. You can now import declarative layouts via PUT API calls even if they contain invalid objects. Similarly you can export declarative layouts together with any invalid objects that are stored within using GET API calls. This should provide some additional flexibility when you are reusing older backups or when you are debugging. Future ChangesUpdate to GoodData.UI SDK 8.12.1We strongly recommend upgrading all your GoodData.UI SDK references to version 8.12.1. We have rectified a critical bug that could potentially cause issues with visualizations in our next release, scheduled two weeks from now. Your prompt action will ensure a seamless transition to the new version.

Released May 10th, 2023.In this hotfix, we have resolved an issue with an internal migration script responsible for updating your organization's dashboard permissions when upgrading from version 2.2 to 2.3. However, this script may cause issues if you have already updated to version 2.3 and have since modified your dashboard permissions. If you have altered your dashboard permission settings since updating to version 2.3, we recommend that you:1. Create a backup of your organization.2. Update to 2.3.1.3. Restore your organization from your backup.This should guarantee that your dashboard permissions are not changed by the update.Other Fixes and Updates Fixed an issue which prevented certain users from accessing dashboards that were inherited from a parent workspace.

For reference the z-indicies of the dashboard overlay elements are as follows: Overlays in Dashboard component  = 5000 Overlays in Dashboard header component = 6000 Overlays in Dashboard component in conflict with filter bar = 6000  Other ChangesCertain monitoring and logging messages have been changed to improve consistency and to better communicate their meaning. This could be a breaking change for you, if you have automated processes build on top of the log output. GoodData.CN minimum space requirements have increased, due to the inclusion of Chromium and PDF exports. See Requirements. You can now use “curl http://localhost:8079/healthz” in your GoodData.CN Community Edition deployment to diagnose your container health status. Bug FixesThe expiration of your access or ID tokens should no longer cause you to be logged out prematurely, provided that you enable token refresh on your authentication provider. The GET request to the API endpoint /api/v1/entities/users/{userId}/apiTokens/{id} should not return a 404 error if the apiToken id is valid. Google BigQuery tables that are named the same as one of their columns should no longer cause any issues when being mapped to GoodData. We now display a meaningful error message when you try to create a workspace with a description that is too long. Get the Community EditionPull the GoodData.CN Community Edition to get started with the latest release:docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:2.3.0 Upgrade GuidesUpgrade GoodData.CN Community Edition to 2.3Suppose you are using a docker volume to store metadata from your GoodData.CN CE container.
