Dashworks Release Notes 5.6.2

There has been a drive in the 5.6.2 release to increase the overall performance of Dashworks, with a particular focus on lists. Some of these changes are visible such as the new “run list“ button which reduces the load on the database when building a new list, and the ability to optionally switch on the caching of lists; whilst other changes have been in the guts of the application, working to improve the way data is handled. Our investment in improving application performance continues, as whilst we have made some big strides in this area there is still much more that can be done. Self service now has the ability to add corporate branding giving confidence to end users that Dashworks is an integrated, company system. The evolving tasks page within Evergreen details can now modify task owners as the latest improvement.

Highlights​

Logos on Self Service​

You can now add corporate branding to Evergreen self service by adding a logo to the header (DAS-26858). There are also options to set the background colour, resize the logo and position the logo. This means that users across your organisation have a true corporate experience when using self service.

Evergreen Task Owners​

As the tasks pages on Evergreen details evolves, it is now possible to set the team and owner of a task for any object type. This is done by first selecting the team and then then user. Assigning tasks to Dashworks users allocates ownership of activities within the transformation process.

Run List Button​

You will now see a RUN LIST button on all lists. When adding columns and filters to build a list, the data for your list only loads once you have finished and click the RUN LIST button. This prevents delays in the user experience when manipulating complex lists over large data sets caused by the list reloading each time a column or filter is added.
