New vertical Menu

We’re revealing a new a vertical menu on the left side of the dashboard! The new menu allows you to navigate between the various dashboard pages. It’s also a useful space-saver when you have a lot of items displayed on the screen at once. It is even possible to remove the horizontal menus completely, for a different browsing experience.

Dashboard creation Wizard

A brand-new Dashboard Wizard builds on the old concepts of guided analysis, adding several new elements.

Starting with the addition of a new button in the top right corner of the dashboard which brings up the wizard and featuring a complete redesign of its interface. This interface is now a ‘Wizard’ that guides the user in a simple and intuitive way through the various steps:

1- Upload a file or a demo source

Filters on measures

These filters are also evolving: they can now be added directly from the dashboard. Simply enter the minimum and maximum values of the measures and the dashboard graphs are automatically filtered.

Enhanced HTML Reports

HTML report graphs have also been improved. There’s no longer a need to create the structure of the HTML code by yourself: DigDash now offers a default template that you can automatically generate and modify at your convenience.

An increasingly rich data model

Last but not least, the integration of a data catalog of the metadata stored by the company. This allows the structure, quality, documentation and use of each piece of data to be accessed easily from a centralized location. Based on dependency analysis, this catalog provides not only a description of the data, but also tells you who is using the data and what it is related to.

This is a real asset for data governance, ensuring that data is distributed to the right people, at the right time, and at the expected quality. This is made possible by a true mapping the lifecycle of the data, which provides the source of the data as well as any transformations it has undergone.

DigDash is always listening to its users, and we are constantly evolving in order to best meet your needs. From intuitive interfaces to advanced customization options, this new version focuses on ease of use, while offering powerful features that help you make the most of your data.
