Introducing ad-hoc visual Data Exploration feature

Our new "Data Exploration" feature allows you to dive deeper into the data on any dashboard, extending your exploration beyond the displayed tiles to uncover new insights. This user-friendly, form-like interface lets you add filters, create aggregations, and switch visualization types without writing queries. Now, you can explore data ad-hoc, leveraging existing tiles to start your journey and expand your data view.

Dashboards real time refresh rate

We are excited to announce an enhancement to our dashboard auto refresh feature, now supporting continuous and 10 seconds refresh rates, in addition to the existing options.

This upgrade, addressing a popular customer request, allows both editors and viewers to set near real-time and real-time data updates, ensuring your dashboards display the most current information with minimal delay. Experience faster data refresh and make more timely decisions with our improved dashboard capabilities.

As the dashboard author you can enable the Auto refresh setting and set a minimum time interval, to prevent users from setting an auto refresh interval smaller than the provided value.

Note that the Continuous option should be used with caution. The data is refreshed every second or after the previous refresh completes if it takes more than 1 second.

Enhanced Data Interaction for Dashboard Tiles

We are excited to announce new capabilities that enhance your interaction with data presented visually in dashboard tiles, particularly when multiple data series are involved.

You can interact with the data by selecting specific items from the legend using the mouse, using Ctrl to add or remove selections, or holding Shift to select a range.

The Search button helps you quickly filter items, while the Invert button allows you to reverse your selections.

Navigate through your selections with ease using the Up and Down arrows to refine your data view.

Resize dashboard tiles using keyboard only

We are excited to introduce a new accessibility feature that allows users to resize dashboard tiles using only the keyboard.

By pressing the Tab key, you can focus on a tile, and then use the arrow keys to move it.

To resize, hold the Shift key and use the arrow keys: right to increase width, left to decrease width, down to increase height, and up to decrease height.

This functionality mirrors the ease of moving and resizing with a mouse, enhancing the accessibility and usability of ADX web UI.
