Import Data into Spreadsheets with External Links

June 20, 2025
ONLYOFFICE connectors for Nextcloud and ownCloud add external link support for importing reference data into spreadsheets.

ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise Edition integrates seamlessly with both ownCloud and Nextcloud connectors, combining a powerful online document editor with two leading on-premises content collaboration platforms. This integration allows teams to create, view, edit, and collaborate on spreadsheets, presentations, and text documents in real time, directly within their ownCloud or Nextcloud environments, boosting productivity and eliminating the need to switch between applications.

The latest updates for the ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud and ownCloud connectors (9.9.0 and 9.9.1 respectively) introduce support for importing reference data into spreadsheets using external links, allowing developers to dynamically integrate data from third-party sources directly into their ONLYOFFICE spreadsheets. This enhancement simplifies cross-document referencing by enabling users to pull specific cell ranges from external files, reducing manual data handling and improving consistency across documents. It also supports automatic data updates and source management, helping developers maintain accurate, synchronized datasets within collaborative environments hosted on Nextcloud or ownCloud.

To see a full list of what's new, see our release notes for ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud Connector v9.9.0 and ONLYOFFICE ownCloud Connector v9.9.1.

The ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud and ownCloud connectors are both licensed per server and are available as an annual license with 1 year of support and updates, or as a perpetual license with 3 years of support and updates. See our licensing pages for the Nextcloud and ownCloud connectors for full details.

Add Precision to Time-Based Data

June 2, 2025
LightningChart JS v7.1 brings nanosecond-level precision to time-based charts, enabling ultra-detailed analysis of high-frequency temporal data.

LightningChart JS is a JavaScript/TypeScript library developed by LightningChart that is particularly well-suited for data-intensive visualizations, offering exceptionally fast rendering capabilities thanks to its use of WebGL. This makes it a strong choice for applications that require real-time data updates, such as financial platforms, engineering tools, scientific research dashboards, and industrial monitoring systems. It provides high-performance, 2D, 3D, and real-time charting controls and a comprehensive suite of visualizations including candlestick, bar, line, and various technical indicators and drawing tools. This library enables software developers to craft interactive technical analysis tools without the need for server-side setup as it runs completely on the client device.

The LightningChart JS v7.1 update enhances its Date-Time axis capabilities by introducing support for nanosecond-resolution timestamps, allowing users to zoom into microsecond and nanosecond ranges for more granular time-based data analysis—well beyond the previous millisecond limitations. To utilize this feature, timestamps should generally be supplied as BigInt64. This update positions LightningChart JS among the few web charting libraries explicitly supporting nanosecond precision, making it a strong choice for applications requiring high-resolution temporal data visualization.

To see a full list of what's new in v7.1, see our release notes.

LightningChart JS is licensed per developer and is available as an annual license with 1 year support. See our LightningChart JS licensing page for full details.
