NexPort Reporting Services offers customizable dashboards with simple sharing, improves report downloads in v1.2 release

OKLAHOMA CITY — July 23, 2014 — NexPort Reporting Services users can now create customizable dashboards, allowing administrators to share reports with users. New dashboard features, as well as several bug fixes were implemented in the 1.2 NRS release today. 

The new dashboard feature provides administrators with the ability to edit information, while preventing users without permission from permanently editing the report.  However, all NRS users can edit and download a report with their custom filters, without permanently altering the report. Audit logs also now document all changes to permissions and changes to dashboards.

Users can add any report within a permitted group or organization to a dashboard, with the ability to name, edit, permit or revoke permissions to a dashboard at any time.

Security is always a primary concern for NRS developers. This release was no different, NRS Dashboards provide administrators with features to control the sharing and visibility of certain aspects of a report and the ability to block reports from being shared at all.

The last five previously viewed reports will also be conveniently located on the home screen, so users can access a report with just one click.

This release also includes a few minor enhancements including streamlined columns and filter display and the ability to download large reports by page(s) instead of in “chunks” as previously offered.

NRS bug fixes for this release included a fix to the display of Unicode characters in reports, as well as a permissions bug encountered when deleting or removing saved reports. Both cases have been fixed and no longer cause errors.
