  • Improved cloned indicator, metric and drill naming to fix occuring errors (leading letter, name length, name already exists).

  • Adds activity panel in project detail for admins only.

clevermaps-js-sdk

  • Let iframe publish data about filters via the js message api. So parent page can listen on filter changes.

  • InAttribute performance optimalization does not work with max_function

2022-09-02

New features and improvements

  • User can clone indicator on UI

    • After the edit dashboard feature we announced last time, we added the option to clone and edit an indicator directly from the UI. This allows you to add any number of indicators to your project without launching a command line.

    •

Shell Release

We have released a new version 1.5.5 of CLI tool CleverMaps Shell that changed the directory structure of dumps.

We made these changes to allow the CleverMaps Shell to be used with GIT to version metadata.

1.5.5

  • Changed dump structure. Removed dumpIds. Now there is only one dump per project.

  • Changed dumpProject --force. It now overwrites existing dump.

  • Added dumpProject --ignoreFailedDatasets. It skips failed datasets dumps.

  • Share metadata objects are no longer dumped.

  • Removed --directory from dumpProject.

  • openProject now opens dump if it exists.

  • Removed --dump from openDump.

  • Removed --directory from openDump.

2022-06-13

New features and improvements

  • Redesigned share/bookmark functionality

    • We have refactored life cycle of share objects and bookmarks. Share link stores a user state of a view. In previous version, we have tried to keep share links working although the parent view object has been changed. Now the share links are valid until any change in correspondent view is made. When you or the administrator change any metadata of the corresponding view, all related share links become invalid. This will lead to simpler and more predictable behavior of share links. For more information see Help Center or Shares (Developer documentation).

    • If the share object is invalidated, the user is informed by a message: “The link you followed is broken, no longer valid or inaccessible due to insufficient rights.”

    • The share objects are now immutable so there is no need to dump them by CleverMaps Shell.

  • Allows to show relative values in both categories and map tooltip

     

Bugfixes

  • Some categories are missing in map tooltip when visualized and some feature is selected

  • Heatmap - select marker loop

2022-05-19

New features and improvements

  • Improved filter functionality

    • Filters are displayed and applied in the order they were added, meaning filters on a higher level apply to the ones beneath them. This rule applies to indicator filters.

    • The order of filters can be changed from the UI

For more information about filters, visit the CleverMaps help center.

Shell

  • Multipart Upload

    • enables to upload any size CSV file

    • not default, usage: specify --multipart parameter in loadCsv or pushProject commands

  • New shell command - setup. Allows user to setup config and credentials files with single command (without creating file system files).

    • Since 1.3.9-RELEASE

New metadata options

  • Default state of keepFiltered settings in the Visibility tool.

    • The defaults keep markers unfiltered and granularity filtered.

    • Setting filterable in Marker categories is now deprecated in favor of this new option.

    • Details can be found in Marker selectors metadata docs.

  • Default Object filters (normally added from map selection).

    • Add to docs

  • Default Time series period.

  • Default Compare type (Dominance or Overlap)

  • Default Measure tool state

    • Default Lines or Isolines panel

    • Default settings in panels (e.g. the default zone for Isolines measuring)

    • Details can be found in View metadata docs.

  • Default Ranking block state

  • Added hint to Indicator group header, fixed overflow.

    • It is easier to describe indicator group in more detail, just add the attribute description.

    • Details can be found in Dashboard metadata docs.

  • Default Distribution block state

    • Default range and breaks for standard dynamic distribution. It’s active on first load and reset when user changes filters, selects other objects etc.

    • staticOptions are not affected by other actions in view vs defaultDistribution breaks setting is affected by other actions in view

 

Minor fixes

  • Fixed definition of “default settings” and “filtered” in all filter types.

    • Reset always reverts filters to default setting

    • No badge on Filter icon only if nothing is filtered

    • Each filter is counted as “filtered”, if it basically filters something. If default setting filters some data, it is counted as well.

  • Fixed collapse/expand all blocks feature.

  • Save defaultTool (Search, Visibility, Measure…) for sharing, fixed loading if some feature is selected.

New features and improvements

Data model

  • We have improved user interaction with Data model schema. You can use it in similar way as you use our map – mouse scroll works for zooming in or out and dragging can be used to pan the schema.

  • Relations between datasets in the schema are interactive. In case you select or hover some dataset, all related links and datasets remain active, others are muted. It helps you find the relations in large data models.

  • There is a new block Data Load History on the detail of dataset. It is available for administrators of the project. This gives you quick summary of all data modifications in the project. You can see when it happened and who made the change.

    Date of load, time, type (Incremental or Full), count of records added, total count of records, user (details on hover)

  • You can preview the content of your datasets in with Data preview feature. You can enter this preview in dataset detail in the bottom of the Overview block.

    It is possible to sort the records by any column, filter records by property value with equality operator or easily go to linked datasets by clicking on blue key icon. It is useful for checking that your data load was successful or checking the geometry columns if you don’t see your data in the map.

Legend

  • CleverMaps has completed map legend. It displays not only standard visualization legend, but also markers and qualitative color scales, if it’s turned on. All of that works automatically without any metadata changes.

  • All types of map objects are divided into individual sections, you can collapse each of them or all.

  • Qualitative visualization legend is interactive like standard visualization legend – hover any object to highlight features in the map that has selected quality.

Block Dominance

  • Compare tool was completed with block Dominance

  • Indicators that have enabled Dominance option have its drill completed with this block automatically.

  • It is useful to find out how the indicator value is distributed in catchment areas of two compared branches. You can hover the dominance categories to highlight it in the map.

Block with coordinates

  • New block in the Isolines tool.

  • Displays coordinates of selected point or marker in the map.

Yellow colour

  • Yellow colour was added to our colour palette.

  • It is available for markers and also for qualitative visualization.

  • Use it with caution, since it is similar with standard highlight colour.

  • Many colour scales where adjusted to represent yellow and highlight color as clearly as possible.

Dedicated DWH

  • CleverMaps platform has implemented support for Dedicated Data warehouses. This brings improved performance, isolation, scalability and availability for our customers.

  • Selected projects or customers can use dedicated, custom sized PostgreSQL cluster.

  • Hit us at info@clevermaps.io if you would like to hear more details.

Performance optimization

  • Optimized loading of all filters in a view. It can significantly reduce initial map view loading time.

  • Rewritten marker layers loading and styling. It improves marker loading times, especially in views that use many types of markers for one marker category.

New metadata options

  • Added option to set filter to disabled state by default.

    • It can be useful to prepare some initial values of filter, but disable it by default.

    • Details can be found in View metadata docs.

  • Enabled setting of default Visualization

    • Visualization is set automatically if it’s only one possible visualization for dataset. For point datasets, it’s better to set defaultVisualization to decide if heatmap or dotmap should be used.

    • Details can be found in View metadata docs.

  • Enabled setting of default period in block Time series to days, weeks, months quarters or year.

  • Enabled setting of featureType, the default feature type in block Ranking. Set “featureType”: “granularity” or “featureType”: “markers”.

  • Enabled setting of direction in block Ranking to specify the order of features.

Minor fixes

  • Fixed null values handling in block Categories.

  • Fixed order of bars with null values in block Categories.

  • Fixed rectangular marker styles in Compare.

  • Fixed some Vector tiles loading issues in map (no blank tiles, improved world level zoom)

  • Fixed some issues with our onboarding Tour (missing popup, z-index…)

  • Fixed style of Missing attribute in Attribute block.

  • Fixed Date filter issue with 29th February.

  • Fixed benchmark dropdown height in block Time series.

  • Optimized query for loading count of records in Data model dataset

  • Fixed content of Exports list – it shows only available exports for current view.

  • Fixed downloading (dump) of large CSV files.

  • Fixed loading of interval counts in block Distribution.

  • Fixed invalid projectId in object references in metadata.
