We are delighted to announce the general release of OrgVue 2.22 on May 17th, 2016. Having been in active use by a number of customers since the start of the year it has gone through a number of iterations following customer feedback. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us continuously improve OrgVue.
Version 2.22 is backwards compatible with 2.20. The previous 2.20 version will still be available for access for a further 4 weeks should any user require access to this environment.
These release notes will give you a summary of the new features that will enhance your experience, performance, and analytical insights when using OrgVue 2.22:
- New look and feel
OrgVue 2.22 comes with a sleeker, new interface that uses the updated OrgVue logo and colour scheme following the Concentra re-brand. You will notice the difference as soon as you log on. Our email templates have also been customised to give a more polished user experience.

- New dashboard
In addition to the overhaul of all 2.20 dashboards, the 2.22 release introduce 2 new dashboards that will improve your analysis: Summary Statistics and Numerical Analysis. A screenshot of each dashboard is provided below, but we will soon release follow up blogs that will cover them in greater detail.- Summary stats allows you to look at the numerical properties of your dataset in a single view, with the option to further split data by any measure/dimension, or view breakdowns in greater depth.

- Numerical analysis gives you an easy and flexible way of slicing and dicing people data by multiple measures and dimensions. This dashboard is particularly useful when you want to see the distribution and the aggregation of a single or multiple properties.

- Worksheet
The release introduces a new Worksheet which delivers a host of usability enhancements:- When exporting to PDF and PPTX formats from OrgVue, each page in the worksheet will automatically be updated to include the header and legend.
- You can now alter column width, freeze, side-scroll, sort and order data in your worksheet just like in Excel (see Figure 5 below).

- Faster and better performance
The release brings improvement to overall performance, such as faster processing, better capability, and usability when handling large datasets of 100,000+ nodes with many calculated properties:- You can now batch data processing. This means you can return to long-running dashboards anytime, instead of being forced to wait for it to complete in a single go.
-
The Fixed value mode is now set as the default and where a property is evaluated, the same expression is applied to every row (see Figure 5). You can now evaluate expressions several orders of magnitude faster, even with large datasets. A comment box is now available for you to annotate or explain a complex expression (see Figure 6).

- Display an additional chart alongside your active chart and worksheet
You can now embed an active chart or worksheet into the Expression Pane so you can get two different views simultaneously. You also get the flexibility to paint with your data between the two different views. Simply drag and drop across the views to cleanse, alter, and model your data.

In addition to the features above, we have developed a range of enhancements across the platform that will save users a lot of time and effort. From using icons for datalookups to usability enhancements when adding and cloning nodes in Tree View, the 2.22 release is set to make your analysis more powerful and hassle-free.
