InfoAssist+

The following are general release considerations:

• In order to avoid issues with Esri Choropleth maps in Release 8.2 Version 01M, it is recommended that you upgrade to Release 8.2 Version 02.
• In Report mode, the Auto Drill option has been moved from the Navigation group into its own group on the Format tab. This change allows you to use Auto Drill at the same time as other features in the Navigation group, such as On-demand Paging, Freeze, and Table of Contents options. The Auto Drill option is on the right side of the Format tab.
• To support the easy transformation of alpha (text) fields containing numeric values for use within a WebFOCUS report, the assignment of text values to numeric formatted fields will no longer return an error. This means that when working with values in the Define, Compute, or Filter dialog boxes in InfoAssist+, you can assign an alpha (text) value to a field with a numeric format without error or validation.

  When working with Defines and Computes, any alpha (text) value will be transformed into a zero in the numeric field. The following message displays:

  (FOC1130) FORMAT CONVERSION ERROR FIELD/KEY

  This is a warning, rather than an error.

The following are release considerations related to charting:

• In Chart mode, the Embed Header and Footer in the chart option is enabled, by default. This setting (EMBEDHEADING) automatically includes the Header and Footer, if specified, in the chart. You can access this option in the Header & Footer dialog box by clicking Text options for chart. You can change this default value, as needed.
• When working with measure and dimension fields in a chart, measure fields are not automatically moved to the vertical axis when the horizontal axis contains a dimension field. In these cases, the measure field will replace the existing dimension field in the horizontal axis.
• When working with charts that use the new bucket syntax, the 1x4 and 2x2 views are disabled in the Query Panel group on the View tab. If you switch from a chart without the new bucket syntax or a report to a chart with the new bucket syntax, the default Query view is Tree.
