What's new in Nevron SharePoint Vision 2012.1 (build version: 13.1.22.12)

• Support for Microsoft SharePoint 2013

What's new in Nevron SharePoint Vision 2012.1

• Expressions Everywhere - Nearly all properties of the Chart and Gauge web parts, can now be specified by expressions. Expressions are now available even in data source connections, which makes it possible to create dynamic data source binding, based on expressions and parameters.
• Controllable Visibility of Essential Chart and Gauge elements - This new feature in combination with expressions can help you dynamically change the type of data visualization (for example flip between area and bar charts, flip between radial and linear gauge, dynamically show/hide titles etc.)
• Conditional Data Points Appearance - The filling and stroking of chart data points can now be specified with expressions. This allows you to quickly author complex "color coding" logic only with expressions.
• New Predefined Parameters - It is now possible to author audience sensitive expressions (i.e. evaluate to different values, based on who is viewing the web parts) and browser sensitive expressions (i.e. evaluate to different values, based on the current user browser).
• Ability to Consume SharePoint Field Filters as Parameters - SharePoint Field Filters can now be sent to Chart and Gauge webparts making it possible to author complex dashboards, with user driven parameters entirely visually.
• Rendering Improvements - The overall speed of the entire rendering process has been improved,  due to optimizations in webparts rendering engines, the webparts template models and the storage of temporary image data.
• Configuration/Diagnostics Improvements - The web parts now support full error and command logs, that can help you diagnose problems related to their runtime behavior.
• New Data Source Connection - SharePoint Site Query - Allows you to display aggregated data which is extracted from multiple sites and/or lists.
• Panel Content Alignment - Allows you to align the content of horizontally or vertically adjacent chart, legend and title areas.
• Twin Charts - Allow you automatically align two adjacent charts areas.
• Radar Axis Improvements - Radar Axis Category labels have been improved to support different position, fit and alignment modes.
• Step Line Improvements - The Step Line has support for automatic data resampling. This allows for the visualization of very large datasets.
• Surface Improvements - The Triangulated Surface has an option to simplify the data set. This allows for the visualization of large XYZ data sets.

Nevron SharePoint Vision - the Data Visualization suite for SharePoint 2007/2010 (WSS and MOSS) - 2011 Vol.1 Release

Nevron Chart for SharePoint 2007/2010 2011.1 introduces:

• Parameters and drill down reports - This exciting new feature allows for the development of interactive dashboards and drill down reports. Parameters can be consumed from any expression, they can be passed as arguments to the newly added JumpToReport action. Parameters can also be directly integrated into any SharePoint page.
• SharePoint List and WebPartTable data sources connection - The Chart Web Part has the ability to connect to SharePoint List and WebPartTable data sources that reside in a StaticSite (fixed site), CurrentSite (dynamic site) and CurrentWeb (dynamic web). The site resolution mode allows you to develop web parts templates that can be directly deployed to production environments without the need to refactor the data source connection.
• WebParts Config File - The new Web Parts Config File provides the ability to globally (per site-server) configure some user interface elements visibility and some aspects of the web parts behavior through a configuration file. This allows you to fine tune the web parts to perform better and more reliably in the context of your SharePoint environment.
• Charts are now using deferred rendering - This allows for the instant showing of very complex SharePoint pages as the Nevron Chart Web Part will defer the data aggregation and rendering tasks in separate AJAX requests to the server. This allows for faster data processing that fully utilizes your server capabilities, as separate AJAX requests can be handled by different threads of your server. It also helps the user to actually see what is currently being processed, opposed to the immediate rendering mode in which the SharePoint page gets served to the client after all web parts have aggregated the data and rendered the respective visual representation.
• Automatic Refresh - The Chart Web Part can now be instructed to automatically refresh itself at the client side, at user specified intervals of time. This allows for the development of real time dashboards that automatically update themselves at the client side through AJAX, and eliminates the need for manual web page refresh.
• Web Part Designer - The Chart designer now show the current user, site and web and other info about the context of which they are performing the web part editing.
• Image Fill Style - A new Image Fill Style has been added to all Fill Style editors. This feature allows you to display image based textures on all chart elements that have an associated fill style.
• Connection to Custom Web Parts - Provides the ability to connect the Chart web part to other web parts that implement the IWebPartTable interface. This allows you to develop custom web parts that surface any type of data, that cannot be accessed by the currently available data source connections.
• Performance Improvements - The Chart control document building and rendering has been completely revised. As a result you should see significant speed improvement.
• Non-Overlapping Data Labels - All charting types (Cartesian, Polar and Radar charts) now support automatic data label layout. The data label layout prevents labels from overlapping in both ordinal and scatter charts and works in 2D and 3D appearance modes.
• Const Lines and Const Ranges with texts - The Chart axes have been extended to support const lines with texts as well as const ranges.
• Axis Orientation - All Cartesian axes now support the axis orientation feature.
• XML formatted texts - The XML formatted texts feature is extended to support additional XML tags that allows you to specify the text background and border.
• Line and Point Charts data resampling - The Line and Point charting types support options for automatic data resampling. This allows for the visualization of very large datasets.
• Chart Legends Improvements - The legends have additional layout options - added are the Horizontal and Vertical wrap options that allow the legend to automatically wrap the items when the horizontal or vertical space allocated for it is exceeded.
• Chart Aspect in 2D - Chart areas have additional options that allow finer control over the chart aspect in 2D.
• Additional Features - The Area, Line, Pie, Error Bar, Step Line, Point and Surface charting types have additional features.
• New Chart Examples - Several new Chart examples have been included with the new version.

Additional Improvements:

• You no longer need to be the site administrator to visually browse the sites, webs, lists and views.
• The Web Parts are now using only FIPS (stands for "U.S. Government Federal Information Processing Standards") compliant cryptography algorithms. This allows for the safe deployment of Nevron Web Parts to FIPS enabled SharePoint servers.

Chart Axes Features:
Complete set of axis-related features designed to target even the most compelling charting requirements. The axes are largely automatic, allowing you to focus on your project, but if needed you can customize every aspect of their appearance and behavior.

Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes - Nevron Chart for SharePoint supports Primary and Secondary X and Y Axes. You can specify the X and Y axes on which each values data grouping (chart series) is scaled. Advanced settings allow you to make use of axis crossings, docking and percent positioning.

Depth Axis - In 3D charting, the axis model is extended with an additional depth (Z) axis. The Z axis allows data to be plotted along the depth of the chart. It automatically scales in Numeric or Categorical scale mode, allowing the creation of XYZ scatters and XZ-plane categorical plots.

Special Radar and Polar Axes - Special Radar and Polar axes are exposed for Radar and Polar charting types. These aim to provide advanced settings for complex requirements related to these charting types.

Numeric Scale - The Numeric Scale is automatically selected, depending on the respective chart dimension type. The following sub-modes are available:

• Number scale - displays any data in numeric format (profit, sales, percentages etc.)
• Angular scale - displays angular data in degrees, radians or grads (used in polar charts).
• DateTime scale - suitable for display of date-time data.
• ValueTimeline scale - advanced date-time scale, widely used in financial charts.
• RangeTimeline scale - advanced date-time scale, widely used in financial and project management charts.

Categorical Scale - The Categorical Scale is automatically selected, depending on the respective chart dimension type. It has the following advanced features:

• Supports unlimited grouping levels.
• Grouped and single-row labels.
• Multiple presets for groupings appearance and layout.

Advanced Axis Positioning Options - Axes can be docked to the chart sides (or polar rim) or crossed with another axis (at value or percent). In addition, axes can share a single chart edge.

Axis Title - Full control over the appearance, position and angle of the axis titles. The axis titles text supports advanced rich-text formatting.

Ruler - Control over begin and end ruler caps appearance and shape. Options to highlight scale breaks on the ruler.

Axis Range - Ability to inflate the automatically calculated range in several ways. Ability to define a custom axis range.

Gridlines - Major and minor gridlines, with full appearance customization and control over the walls on which they are displayed.

Ticks - Support for major and minor ticks with control over their appearance and position.

Axis Stripes - Axis Stripes highlight repeating ranges of data on the chart walls, with a controllable show/hide pattern.

Axis Sections - Axis Sections conditionally modify the appearance of axis ticks, gridlines and labels, provided they are within a user-specified data range(s). This feature helps you to highlight important ranges of data along the axis.

Const Lines - Const Lines show constant lines (reference lines) at user-specified value(s). In 3D mode they are displayed as planes perpendicular to their owner axis.

Breaks - Axis Scale Breaks skip a range of values on the axis. They are used to increase the readability of the chart, in cases when the data is clustered in distant data ranges (for example: half the data points are around 100 and the other half are around 1,000,000). Without scale breaks, such data cannot be visually compared. Nevron Chart for SharePoint provides support for manual and automatic scale breaks with full control over appearance and behavior. X and Y scale breaks can be crossed. Scale breaks are also displayed in 3D Mode (unique feature).

Label Layout - Advanced axis-label layout options, which let you resolve very complex axis-label overlapping cases.

Label Formatting - Control over the formatting of values along numeric scales. Many advanced options for currency, percentage, scientific and date time label formatting are available.

Data Aggregation Features
Nevron Chart for SharePoint uses the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine. A simplified pivot charting model was first introduced in MS Excel - if you are using this feature of MS Excel then you already know the basics of pivot charting and its power.

In MS Excel, data groupings are simply created for field values and a predefined set of aggregate functions are available for calculating the series data point values.

In Nevron Chart for SharePoint you use expressions to define how the data is grouped, filtered and sorted. Expressions can reference field values from the data set and you can use numerous mathematical, statistical, logical, date-time, and text functions to define complex grouping, filtering and sorting rules. Special aggregate functions are available for computing aggregate values (like sum, average etc.)

Because the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine is data source invariant, this allows you to create pivot charts from any data source, which can provide a table representation of its data.

Because Nevron Chart for SharePoint and Nevron Chart for Reporting Services are built on top of the Nevron Pivot Component framework, they are generally having the same functionality and features. This helps you streamline your IT reporting efforts and reduce your IT staff learning curve - be it SharePoint or Reporting Services - you know that Nevron provides the same powerful and consistent pivot charting functionality.
