We’ve just pushed out the latest enhancements to the EMI website. The most visible enhancements improve the usability of reports. However, we’ve also made some changes under the hood to improve performance and keep things better aligned and organised.
The usability enhancements include:
Series filters
- On reports, your series filter selection now persists. This allows users to change other parameters while keeping the series items of interest selected. However, changing a parameter that results in a different set of series items will result in the series filter selection resetting. For example, if you change region type from zone to regional council where regions are the series, the list will clearly change.
Report tags
- Report tags are now selectable. Clicking a subject tag below a report or dashboard will show a gallery view of all reports with that tag. This feature makes navigating or exploring a topic easier and helps to ensure users see the breadth of relevant information available. For example, the collection of switching reports.
Date range pickers
- We’ve combined ‘from’ and ‘to’ fields into a date range picker to let users change both dates without having to wait for the report get the data and render after each date parameter was changed. The new date range pickers also includes a handy set of ‘quick range selections’ that are appropriate for each report to make it even faster to gain insights across time ranges.
We’ll continue to add content and improve the available features as time permits so please keep the feedback and ideas coming.
