We’re pleased to share with you the first new features of 2020 for Smartabase’s dashboard builder.

If you haven’t tried the dashboard builder yet, check out our helpful guide. We’ll show you how to set up dashboards, use dashboard components and understand the data being displayed within your dashboards.

Enjoy using version 2.26 of the dashboard builder!

New features for the aggregation table widget

You’ll find we’ve made some useful enhancements to the new aggregation table widget (released just last month! Learn more about it in its help article).

You’re now able to specify the width of each column that you add to an aggregation table. Each column has an advanced set of properties where you can fine tune exactly how you want the column contents to display in the table. At the bottom of the advanced properties for each column you’ll find the new column width property (measured in pixels).

We’ve also updated how the aggregation table gets sized in your dashboards and it’ll now fit itself into the entire width that you’ve specified for the widget (from the general properties of the aggregation table widget). This means no odd-shaped gaps in your dashboards!

General improvements and bug fixes

  • When you use the print feature on a dashboard that contains an aggregation table, the sorting icons for that widget won’t appear in the PDF. This gives you a cleaner, more optimised image to print and share with your colleagues and athletes.
  • We fixed an issue affecting the text alignment settings for the first column in an aggregation table.
  • Likewise, we’ve updated the behaviour of header cells for aggregation tables, and they’ll now obey the text alignment settings for their respective columns in the table.
  • The avatar colour settings you choose in the dashboard settings will now be correctly applied to avatars that appear in an aggregation table.
  • We’ve optimised the behaviour of content that’s too big for cells in your aggregation tables. Overflowing content now gets hidden, which keeps your table looking tidy.

Feel free to contact your lead sport scientist if you have any questions about building dashboards, or you can visit the dashboard builder guide for more information.

Bug fixes that were released between 2.25 and 2.26

  • We fixed an issue where the dashboard builder failed to load in some situations. This was due to caching behaviour.
  • We made additional stability improvements to the dashboard builder.
  • And we resolved an issue that prevented chart regions from obeying colour transparency settings.
