Product: Process Flow visual for Power BI v2.0.0.12Related Product Version: 2.0.0.12Last Updated: February 10, 2025 This release note compares the Process Flow visual v2.0.0.12 with the now deprecated SCvation-Flow-Basic visual v1.2.2.11 and does therefore not include any features that were already available before. Please note that this release is a major breaking change: replacing a SCvation-Flow-Basic visualization with a Process Flow visualization in your report will not carry over any previously set configuration options and may remove fields from the dropzone. New features Added selection support to the built-in variant bar chart: single selection by clicking a bar, multi-selection with ctrl+click, selection of the “Rest” variant, and reset by clicking the background or the selected variant again. Selections can optionally interact with other visuals in the report. Significantly improved the readability of process graphs via a new layout algorithm — transition lines rarely overlap, transition metrics rarely overlap with lines or each other, and start/end transitions are marked with dashed lines. Most layout-related configuration options were removed as a result. Automatic locale-based formatting for cases, events, timestamps and tooltips; manual regional format options were removed. Automatically determined display units for large numbers; the manual configuration option was removed. Changed features Switched to the Power BI formatting pane for visual configuration; most options were renamed/reorganized, with no automatic migration. Adjusted allowed fields for timestamp and tooltip dropzones: timestamps no longer allow measures, tooltips now also allow groupings. Changed cut-off points for the data limit to always keep 3 variants fully intact, allowing exploration of bigger processes even without a valid license. Improved the look and feel of the metric gauges: currently selected values are now also shown as a percentage, and gauge bars are animated. Improved text rendering in the graph for some browsers (particularly Firefox). Changed the default event name from “__NULL__” to “No event”. Removed features Removed the built-in title (Power BI’s own title/subtitle option should be used instead). Removed the event zoom functionality. Fixed bugs Fixed the Power BI context menu not being available on the whole visual. Other changes If no license is available, or the data limit is reached, a notifying label is now displayed to the user. Upgraded visual API version to 5.11.

Product: Power BI visuals Related Product Version: all Last Updated: December 19, 2024 Data Slicer Power BI date format based on regional settings In our Power BI custom visuals (Data Slicer, Flow, Gantt), the numeric and date/datetime formats are determined by the settings you configure for the field in Power BI. These formats may vary depending on your regional settings. In Power BI Desktop, there are two types of regional settings that influence formatting: 1. Current File Regional Settings: Locale for Import This setting defines the locale used for data import and determines the format displayed in default Power BI visuals (e.g., tables). 2. Global Regional Settings: Application Language This setting specifies the application’s language and impacts the format used in our custom visuals, such as Data Slicer, Flow, and Gantt. Potential Format Discrepancies Because default visuals and custom visuals rely on these two different settings in Power BI Desktop, the same field (e.g., a date) may appear in different formats within the same report. This discrepancy is noticeable with “Short Date” and “Long Date” formats. How to Ensure Consistent Formatting To avoid inconsistencies, ensure that both the Current File Regional Settings and Global Regional Settings are set to the same language. Note for Power BI Service Users This issue is specific to Power BI Desktop and does not occur in Power BI Service.

Product: Data Slicer visual for Power BI, all sources and license types (1113xxxx)Related Product Version: 1.3.28.4Last Updated: January 7, 2025 We are excited to announce the latest version of our Data Slicer Power BI visual! This update introduces a new operation mode (Interval). Apart from the preexisting Text box mode you can now use Data Slicer in Interval mode to easily select a range of values. We also enhanced the formatting options and made important bug fixes to improve your user experience. Key highlights include expanded language support for date and number formats, an improved license management system and some performance and stability improvements. New features New operation mode: Interval — allows input of a range using two fields (From/To values). Supports numeric (whole, decimal), text, date, and datetime columns, with a documented list of supported/unsupported date and datetime formats. Language support for Date/Number formats — now supports Arabic (ar-AE, ar-SA), German (de-DE), English (en-US, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB), Spanish (es-ES), French (fr-CA, fr-FR), Hindi (hi-IN), Japanese (ja-JP), Korean (ko-KR), Portuguese (pt-BR, pt-PT), and Chinese (zh-CN). Invalid inputs are highlighted in red, and filters only apply once validated. Placeholder text auto-adapts to the date format and can be overridden manually. Improved licensing features — new license manager, license notifications for premium features, an asterisk (*) marking licensed features, and clearer guidance for license key input. Customizable background transparency — transparency sliders added for all background color settings. Formatting settings changes Menu restructuring: placeholder settings moved to dedicated sections, parameters reorganized for easier navigation. New operation mode toggle (Text box vs. Interval), plus transparency sliders for background settings. Enhanced visual and accessibility: “Show…” settings now appear as toggle switches; licensed features marked with an asterisk. Renamed “License key” to “License key input” for clarity. Bugfixes Resolved layout issues in Text box mode, ensuring correct border calculations. Fixed constant visual refreshing when a custom license key was applied. Addressed brief visibility of default header text during a refresh. Ensured the highlighted frame resets properly when filters are cleared in Text box mode. Fixed quick menu icons that were sometimes cut off. Other changes Upgraded TypeScript from 5.1 to 5.6.3. Mirrored the filter button icon for consistency. Added hover effects for quick menu icons. General performance optimizations. Upgraded visual API version to 5.10. This release brings significant enhancements to functionality, usability, and performance. We hope these updates improve your experience with the Data Slicer Power BI visual!
